IMPERIALISM IS FIRST

Campaign is to Begin EarIy.-The
Bryan Notification
Meeting.

Minneapolis, July Ex-senator Jones
Saturday discussed at some length the
issues which the Democratic party
would present in the coming campaign.
Imperialism will be foremost, with
trusts a close second, but other issues
will not be neglected. Continuing,
Jones said: Il am perfectly satisfied
with the conditions with which we are
to enter upon the campaign.
Regarding China, there is a general
feeling that the president should use
all means in his power to protect the
United States citizens and property
there, but L do not believe that the
people will accept the situation as an
excuse to acquire territory there, as
has been done in the Philippines.
As to the calling of u special
session of congress that lies with Mr..
Mckinley"
Campaign to Begin at Once.
Chairman Jones left Minnetonka
Beach last night for Chicago, and early
this week will open the Democratic
national headquarters in that city. Dur
ing the past week Jones has had sew
eral long conferences with Adlai E.
Stevenson. the Democratic nominee for
vice president. and also with several of
the leaders in this state. They agreed
that in view of the evident aggressive
campaign of the Republicans it would
be wise to get to work as early as pos
sible. Jones said the campaign would
be fairly inaugurated by the middle of
next week. The first intention was
not to begin active work before Sept. l.

BREAKS ALL RECORDS.
CiRaP-Shaped Train Invented By q
ChieaEOAn Makes 81 Miles
an Hour.

The cigar-shaped train, invented by
Fred U. Adams, of Chicago, smashed
all records on the Philadelphia, q Balti-
more road the other evening when the
run was made from Chestnut street
station to Baltimore in one hour and
40 minutes. During part of the trip
the train attained speed of so miles
an hour. 1t was exactly $3.50 O'Clock
when Mr.. Adams creation started.
The royal blue had gone out % minutes
earlier and this start was believed to
be sufficient to enable the regular train
to reach Baltimore ahead of the cigar
shaped flyer. The latter however, made
such remarkable time that it caught
the regular and had to slow down, los
ing some minutes. The best time made
heretofore between the two cities was
one hour and 50 minutes. The en-
CINE which drew the Adams train
weighed only IS tons, or rs tons less
than the fast locomotives.
