LEGION OPPOSES
ANY COALITION.
Bayard Democratic Club to
Democratic Legislators
on Senatorship.
STANDS0N PARTY RECORD
Protests Against Supporting
One or More Republi-
can Candi-
dates.

The Baya Legion at a meeting
last night adopted resolutions op.
posing any coalition between Dem
ocratic and Republican legislators
looking towards the selection of oue
or two Republican Tor the United
states Senate. The resolutions
were presented by DR.. j. p. Zuill
and were as follows:
"Whereas knowlc dge has come
to the members of the Bayard lie.
gion Democr Club that an effort
is about TO be male to induce the
Democratic members OF the next
Legs lature to throw the strength
OF their support to one or more Re-
publ!can candidates for United
States Senator.
"And whereas it is the sense OF
this organization that no Democrat
having at heart the cardinal princI.
pies OF bis party can copscientiously
cast his vote for any one to cit in The
Senate Of the United States, who
will deiberatel y aud continuously vote
in said Senate in direct opposition
to all those principles for which the
Democratic party has stood from the
time OF its foundation.
Therefore, be it resolved that we,
the members Of the Bayard Legion
Democratic Club in regular meeting
assembled, and having in mind the
record for Demorratic
craftsmanship evinced in the Senate
Of the United States, by that great
Democrat in whose honor our or
ganizatlon is named, do emphati-
cally record our earnest protest
against any Democratic member of
the Legislative Assembly about to
convene, yielding to any arguments
however, plausible they may seem,
which would induce him to deaden
his conscience and cast his vote for
any Republican candidate or candi-
1ates for membership in the United
States Senate.
"Resolved that a copy OF these -
'esoIullons be published in the
Tally papers, and sent to each Of
.he Democratic mem Gers-slect OF
he coming Legislature, and that
hey be spread upon the minutes Of
his cub.

BURGLARS DRUGGIRL
THENL00THER HOME
MASKED MEN LEFT YOUNG WOMAN UNCON-
SClOUS IN BED WITH LOADED RE-
VOLVER CLOSE TO HER HEAD.
THEY GET WATCHES, RINGS
AND SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY.

Four masked burglars broke into
the home of CHRISTOPHER {. King near
EIsmere last night and while one Of
them guarded Miss Ida King with a
revolver, the others ransacked the
house and scared three valuable
rings and small sum Of money. L.
ter they administered dru. to the
terrified girl and then left the house.
1t was about II O'Clock when Miss
King heard Il noise on the roof Of
the house. She thought it was her
uncle and brother who lad been on
visit to a friend near Richardson's
district school No. 20. In her mind
she was wondering why they should
want to come in the third story via.
dow as The key had been lleft .in its
usual place. AS she looked out the
window her eyes fell on 4 masked
man who was approaching. He en-
tered, whereupon Miss King screac.
ed.
Then the burglar placed revolver
to her head and demanded of her
to keep quiet. The other three burg
lars had entered the house by this
time and were searching the third
story rooms for its valuaD!es.
One Of the Lugiars asked Miss King
where her father kept lis money
and she replied lin the bank.'
The three buglars then won't out
the window but entered the bed
room of Mr. and Mis- King later
by way of Il second story window
as the doors leading to it from tho
hall way was locked.
GIRL DRUGGED.
Once inside tho room the burglars
ransacked the bureau drawers and
secured Mrs. Kings welding ring,
another less prizel riug and a
valuable diamondring belonging to
Mr.. King.
Then returning to the young girls
bedroom and placing the booty aud
two handfuls Of other jeweIry
they had with them in two stock
ings, the burglars got cloth which
they saturated with a drug, and
held it over the young woman's
face.
When Mr.. and Mrs. King awoke
about ) o'clock this morning they
were surprised to find their Bsl- |
room topsy turvcy. Investigation
of the house disclosed the loss of
their rings and few dollars.
Anxious to know if the burglars
