RHODE ISLAND ELECTION
First Gun in Presidential Campaign
 Fired in That State

Washington, March 23-(Special)-O the first Wednesday in April Rhode Island votes for state officers. Then will be fired the first gun in the presidential campaign of 1900. Both parties have tickets in the field The republican ticket was chosen with unanimity, and there is entire harmony in the party. The democrats occupied them selves with factional fights. Leaders in- dulged in disagreeable personalities, and acording to all reports harmony is lacking. Republicans are confident of carrying the state by a majority of ten thousand large one for Rhode Island. They rely on demo- cratic dissensions, and on the country's prosperity.
 The legislator now to be chosen will elect a successor to MT. Wetmore, who is com pleting his first term, in which he has con- tented himself answering to roll calls, an- nouncing that he is paired with some ab- sent democrat, and introducing a few priv ate bills. If the legislature chosen is re- publican, Wetmore will succeed himself. Wetmore is evidently the style of senator Rhode Island wants. One senator of na- tional prominence, Aldrlch, satisfies the state. and tends to make the party har- monious, for two brilliant senators, each prominent in senatorial matters, might be jealous of each other and seriously dis agree.
 Last April the plurality for state officers ranged from nine to eleven thousand out of a total vote of forty-three thousand. The republicans are working actively to pile up a large majority In order to indicate to the country what will be the result In Novem Der. Some years ago Rhode Island was re- garded as a close state. It certainly is not now, and with dssensions in the democrat ic party, a ten-thousand majority for the republican state ticket could not properly be regarded as a heavy Endorsement of the admins tra ton or an indication of repub lcan victory in the November elections. If the republican majority should fall below eight thousand, it would give the repufo- licans serious ground for concern, no mat ter how they might boast of a victory in Rhode Island

A Card
tor of The Ape-Herald

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 It appears that a subcommittee of the committee appointed by three of the Work ing Mems Political clubs has recommended, subject to ratification by the full commit tee and further ratification by the clubs, ticket for certain offices. On that ticket so recommended Is MT. Henry B. Gray for the office of county treasurer.
 I recall the fact that there was a state fair held here last fall, and that it left over a number of bills unpaid, many of which are owing to newspapers throughout the state. It has been urged in your paper that the good of Birmingham demanded that its citizens pay these bills and thus save the good name of our city.
 Why was the fair a failure? For the plain reason that non-union "scab" labor was used in the construction of some or all of its buildings, and organized labor main- taining it's own rights and dignity. boy cotted the fair.
 Are our laboring men going to be con- sistent?
 On Friday, the 18th day of August, 1S99 the Birmingham News published an ac- count of a meeting of the board of drec- tors of the Alabama State Fair association, in which it is stated that Mr. Henry B. Gray was unanimously elected treasurer of the association and that his acceptance was at hand. lit further recites that at the next meeting of the board bids would be received for the construction of the buildings and other necessary halls and stalls at the fair grounds that the con tracts would be awarded, etc.
 Attached to a bill in chancery filed in the cHy court of Birmingham Is the contract dated August %, 1899, four days after MT. Gray's election.
 Would union labor be consistent In sup porting MT. Gray for any office?

If Great Britain does not accept the Hay Pauneefote treaty as amended by the sen- ate committee on foreign relations so as to permit the United States to defend the canal, and use 1t as it finds necessary in war time-and in this shape only can the treaty be ratified-congress is most likely to declare the Clayton-Bulwer treaty re- voked and to provide for the construction of the Nicaraguan canal aeeQrqingly. It is believed that the amendment is not sat- isfactory to Great Britain; the Salisbury government will eventually accept it.

present to greet Mrs. Apperson, and at
the conclusion Of the program they
made her acquaintance personally at a
reception given in her honor by the
House and Home committee, Mrs. Har-
ford, chairman. Mrs. Apperson's pa
per was an exposition OF the duty OF Ne
braska women toward home making.
and her practical discussion Of their
opportunities was an inspiration to the
women who heard it, as was also her
strong and gracious personality. Mrs.
Apperson was in the city few hours
only. but the informal hospitality Of her
hostess. Mrs. Draper Smith, made room
for guests not only at dinner but at
breakfast, and for calls at all hours.
While space by Mrs. Mary NJ Pugh was
formed for a luncheon, to the State
president and some members Of the
Household Economics department. In
