far as to ask the democratic members

New Jersey, was the additional demo

VIEWED WITH DOUBT.
The Auckland Dispatches Discredited at
the State Department.

lllC tOltlG Itpcl lillSHls
washington, Jan. 5.-The state de-
partment is inclined to discredit the
Auckland dispatch to the Associated
Press last night, saying Minister Willis
had made demand on the provisional
government of Hawaii to abdicate in
favor Of the queen, on the ground that
such action is directly contrary to the
instructions sent by the Corwin and re-
ceived by Willis December 18th, nearly
two weeks before the date of the Auck-
land advices. There is intense anxiety,
however, in congressional circles and all
sorts of rumors are afloat that blood
has already been spilled at Honolulu.
The information is also doubted by
ChairmanMcCreary, Rayner and Others
of the foreign affairs committee Nc
Creary said it would give most start
ling turn to the situation If 1t proved
true. Hit, the republican leader Of
the foreign affairs committee, said II
Willis had taken the action reported
it would precipitate tempest, The
president had turned the whole subject
over to congress, and yet before Willis
had learned this course, he had eXecut-
ed policy already abandoned. This
would be particularly serious if the MN
ister's action had led to bloodshe1 In
tense anxiety is felt in congressional
circles for further news of the reported
course of the minister and 1t led to
tie circulation of wild and boundless
rumors on the floor of the house that
rioting had begun in the streets Of
Honolulu.

COMRADES: In rallying for the great
battle for your rights do not forget
your standard-bearer-THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE Most necessary to your bat
tie is it that it should be made as strong
as possible for the great contest this
Winter.
We arc going to have a harder fight

still another raid.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is the main
friend and champion the comrades have
here at the National Capital and in the
whole country. 1t Will make a stub
born fight to save the veterans from the
wicked robbery contemplated. 1t can
do more than any other paper or agency
can.
Therefore, it is to your interest to
build up the paper to the utmost, and
make it as strong as possible in every
community. The more subscribers it
has behind it, the stronger battle it can
make for you and all comrades There
fore, see that your name is on its lists,
and that as many as possible of your ac-
quaintances subscribe for it. If not
already a subscriber send in your name
at once, and get at least one more. Get
up club if possible. We want every
veteran to rally around our flag for one
more effort. We all have to fight now,
and THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE will lead
Let it head a column Of at least $50, 900
subscribers. Then all the power of the
Solid South cannot prevail against it.
Help us now, and by so doing help
yourselves most effectively.

announced that Geo. W. Turner had made

THoUGH the amendment to the Con-
stitution of Kansas comforting the full
right of suffrage on women was defeated,
a few more votes, properly distributed,
would have carried it. 1t is VIGOROUSLY
difficult, even In the more progressive
Western States, to make even generally
desired amendments to the Constitution,
and nothing but the recent landslide
would have carried the new Constitu-
ton Of New York through. We Ameri-
cans do an exceeding amount of radical
talking, but at heart We are strong con-
servatiyes, especially when it comes to
changing organic laws. a rather pro-
voking illustration of this was given in
Ohio a few years ago, when everybody
wanted to increase the Judicial estab-
lishment, which the State had out
grown since the adoption Of the Consti.
tuition of 1851. Amendments we're
adopted by the Legislature giving the
needed increase of courts, and great
sums were expended in advertising
them. There was no opposition to them
from any source, but they were repeat
edly defeated simply because the votes
cast for them were not majority Of the
whole, and every vote not cast directly
for them had to be counted against
them. Finally the Chairmen of the
Executive Committees of both parties
got together, and agreed to only print
on their tickets il" For the Judicial
Amendments Yes. This would com
pei the hostile voter to actually scratch
off Yes" and write "No." In this
way the amendments were gotten
through, but there was some talk of
contesting the matter, on the ground
that the opposing voters were not given
a fair chance. So our equal suffrage
friends can be congratulated on coming
so near success against hostile condi-
tions.
