The COt11t11Oner
(Mr. Bryan's Paper)

The Commoner has attained within
six months from date of the first issue
a circulation of 100. 900 copies. a rec
ord probably never equaled in the his
tory of American periodical literature.
The unparalleled growth of this paper
demonstrates that there is room IN the
newspaper field for a national paper
devoted to the discussion of political,
economic and social problems. To
the columns of The Commoner Mr..
Bryan contributes his best efforts;
and his review Of political events as
they arise from time to time can not
fell to interest those who study public
questions.
The Commoner's regular subscrip-
ton price is S1.00 per year. We have
arranged with Mr.. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and the WILL
MAR TRIBUNE together for one year
for $'.7o. The regular subscription
price OF the two papers when subscribed
tor separately is $500.

BOTH PARTIES CHASE
CARELESS ELECTORS
ORGANIZATIONS Hustle to Get 5000
Unregistered Voters on Poll
Lists Today.

Today is the second registration day.
The polls will be open from a. m to
p. m. for the reception Of registrations
and when the polls close tonight every
voter who can possibly get to the booth
in his voting precinct and who is entitled
to vote May 3, should nave MS name on
the poll lists
Under the provisions of the new primary
law only registered electors may vote and
both parties have made strenuous and
more or less systematic efforts to get
their full party vote registered. The first
days registration placed 1925 names on
the poll list or within 2416 of the total
vote cast at the spring election two years
ago.
The total Democratic registration was
10,6O1 or only rs less than the total Demo-
cratic vote cast two years ago. The total
Republican registration was 8635 or 1,7O1
less than the party vote two years ago.
Another significant fact is that the total
vote two years ago fell short of the reg
istration by 1856 votes, which leaves the
registration to date Alp short of the reg
lstration of 1900.
On the face of the returns of the first
days registration it would appear that
the Democrats registered almost all of
their party strength and that the Repub
licans have a first mortgage on an al
most exclusive majority of the unregis-
tered vote. This is far from true.
Secretary M. F. Kahn, Of the Democrat
ic city and county organization, estimates
that there are nearly $500 Democrats to
be registered today and Saturday. His
estimates are based on the return checks
prepared by the precinct committees
which are in perfect working order and
which have canvassed the situation thor
oughly. There are two explanations for
this apparent discrepancy. The vote is
largely increased over that Of two years
ago. The new vote is probably larger
than for any biennial period in a decade
The first vote will show a cores Onding
increase and a great majority of the for
eign-born voters who were disfranchised
by the law of 1887 have secured their
second papers since 1900
The second cause for the discrepancy
in the first days registration lies with
in the ranks Of the Republican party
Hundreds of Republicans who refused to
sanction any Of the Republican candidates
for mayor voted the Democratic ticket
and for Mayor Smith at the primaries
While the new and first vote may be
about evenly divided between the two
parties under normal conditions, the Re
publican support given Mayor Smith
counts double in the showing between the
registrations Of the parties and based
on strict party lines the Democrats have
approximately as many unregistered
voters as the Republicans.

EARTHQUAKES RUIN
CITIES IN GUATEMALA
second Largest Town Is Completely
Destroyed by Violent Seismic
Disturbances.

GUATEMALA City, April 21.-The earth
Quake en- Friday night reduced to ruins
QuesaItenango the second city of i'm
portance in Guatemala, and having q. 900
inhabitants, and completely destroyed the
town Of Anatitlan. Both of these towns
We're capitals of the departments of the
same name each bears
1t is reported that 500 persons were
killed in QuesaItenango, but the rumor
lacks confirmation. The exact loss of life
cannot now be ascertained. News of tho
destruction, which extended 100 miles
along the western part of the republic. is
coming in slowly because all of the tele-
graph wires are down.
1t is known that Amatitlan exists no
mere as a town, the seismic disturb
ance having been so great. The inhabi-
tants-that is, those of the $1,000 residents
who escaped death in the catacIysm-are

daring to return to the ruined confines Of

name does he mean? If he means any
thing, why does he not come out any
say so?
Mr.. Doran says he thinks some time in
the future the question of a municipal
lighting plant may be we'll worth thinking
about. That is the policy of the corpora
ons-postpOnement Now is the time to
drive the nail and find out what the peo-
pie want. We cannot get electricity in
our houses. Residents in the country can
get it. And at White Bear, a village
which is alive only ninety days in the
year. the residents get electric lighting
for just one-half what we pay for miser-
able, sticky gas. Other cities have decid-
ed that the citizens have a right to share
in the profits of franchises which they
give. Mayor Doran thinks that in 1901,
when the gas company's franchise ex-
pires, it will be about time to begin think
ing about a municipal lighting plant.
Judge Men by Their Manhood.
Mayor Smith has lived in st. Paul fifty
years. There has never been a time when
any man could point the finger of asper-
sion to a single act of his official or pri-
vate life. 1t remained for a leading
stump speaker of the Republican ma
chine, not of the party, to discover that
Mayor Smith is an Englishman, and
wears whiskers to cover up the English
jaw. BY blood would turn to vitriol my
tongue wither, if 1 spoke a single word
in commentator or eulogy of the gov
ornamental policy of the England that has
gone. But L am an American citizen. Here,
by the Western seas, men are to be judg-
ed by the individuality of their manhood.
Not by their blood;9 not by the registery
of their birth or their family tree. Frank
B. Doran sat beside Reese and sanctioned
his attempts to stir up racial and re-
ligous strifes left behind the seas. I say
the man who will sanction such utter
ances is not only not fit to be mayor, but
he is unfit for American citizenship"

HUSBAND IS CHARGED
WITH KILLING WIFE
Invalid Woman Found Dead, With
Marks of Violence on Head
and Throat.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich, April I'll
Mrs. John A. Hargreaves, aged forty-six
years, was found dead in her bed room
this morning with frightful conausIons
on her head and marks on her throat
that look as though she had been choked
in a struggle.
Her husband says they arose about
$50 this morning. After he had assisted
his wife to partly dress she asked him To
go to the kitchen and build a fire. A
few moments later Hargreaves says he
heard screams coming from the bed ico'n
and returned to find his wife rolling
about in a fit.
He grappled with her and they lum-
bled around the room together, the wom-
ans head, according to his story, strik-
ing against the door and dresser. He
then ran across the street and told a
neighbor that his wife had been injured
in fit and that he feared she was dead.
He also said that he himself fell in a lit
after he had subdued her.
Hargreaves was placed under arrest
and taken to the jail. Mrs. Hargreaves
had been an invalid for eight months.
At the conclusion of the investfga ton
of the death by the coroner's jury, John
A. Hargreaves, the womans husband,
was held for an examination tomorrow.

YOUNG DEMOCRATS ARE
IN LINE FOR VICTORY
New Sixth Ward Political Social En-
ters Campaign With
Vim

The Sixth Ward Young Mems Demo-
cratic club held IN enthusiastic meeting
last night, at 152 Concord street, at which
j. j. McCardy and the public schools
came in for most attention. The hall was
filled and part of the interested audience
had to stand.
Aid. Moriarty said he stood upon his
record for reelection. Louis Betz spoke
of the duties Of the comptroller as he
understood thenl-to help instead of hin
Ger, to support the public schools, to take
the people into his confidence
National Committeeman T. D. O'Brien
made a swinging speech defining the po-
sition of the Democratic party in general
as against trusts, and asking for support
for the local ticket as part Of the ma
tional organization. He complimented
the police department, Mayor Smith,
whom" he said, never foreclosed a
mortgage on poor man." and Treasurer
Bremen, who had bested McCardy in
every clash.
F. L. McGhee's was bright, to the
point, and, dealing as it did with the
comparative merits of the administra-
ton Of Mayor Smith and his Republican
predecessors, was enthusiastically re-
ceived.
City Treasurer Otto Bremen made his
usual modest speech, after which Theo-
dore LANCE made telling comparison
between Mr.. Bremen and Mr.. McCardy as
business men.
Joseph Amery carried war into the enc
my's camp. He said: Mayor Smith has
held office forty years, so the Republicans
say, and those same Republicans have
not been able to keep a mayor in Office
four years. Shall we shut off the taxes
is another way of asking shall we SMUT
down the schools, stop the pavements
and go back to small village system of
expenditures? Democrats say, We will
not cut off taxes, but get our moneys
WORTH"
Other speeches were made by Louis
Frankel, DR.. e. H. Whitcomb and the
officers Of the club.

FOUGHT WITH VITRIOL,
BOTTLES AND FIREWOOD
Rioting in Finland Against the New
Russian Army Edict Assumes
Serious Proportions.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sunday, April 90
The news received here of the rioting at
Helsingfors, Finland, April IS, after
demonstration by recruits against the
new army edict, adds materially to the
existing uneasinesS in Official circles. After
the first Withdrawal of the Cossacks VINO
had charged the people. four fresh
companies of troops were called out to
guard against disorders at the factory
closing hour. This precipitated fresh
trouble.
The populace resorted to window fight
ing tactics, throwing firewood, vitriol,
bottles, ETC., on the heads of the soldiers.
The Cossacks, on returning to their bar
racks, were stoned and compelled to fight
their way home. An officer and a non
commissioned officer were severely wound
ed, as were six policemen and one Co.'S
sack. Severe disorders continued through
out the evening, quiet was restored at
l o'clock in the morning.

the town. Some of the inhabitants are
building temporary mud nuts.
More news has been obtained about the
condition of affairs at Amatitlan than at
Quesaltenango, as the former is only fiji
teen miles south of this city, while the
latter is more than 100 miles to the north
west.
Couriers say earthquake shocks are
still felt at short intervals in the neigh
borhood Of Quesaltenango.
There have been serious seismic dis
turbances along the Cordillear, affecting
towns and villages between Amatitlan
and Quesaltenango. No reliable informa-
ton regarding loss Of life or the extent
of property destruction in these inter
mediate places have reached here. Slight
disturbances were felt at Guatemala City,
but no great damage resulted.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-04-22

spoke IN German. Mr.. Hensolt discussed
the issues of the campaign in a clear and
forceful manner. '--N
senator John H. Ives was the principal
speaker OF the evening He reminded the
residents Of the Eighth ward of the hard
snip which they had endured from lack CT
scnool facilities during the Doran admin
lStrauon, when their children were only
permitted to go to school for halliday
sessions, If at all. And then were crowd
ed into the rooms in greater numbers
than they should have been. He also re-
called the condition Of the bridges
throughout the city, and the general ces-
satton Of public improvements Of all kinds
at that time.
Mr.. Ives said that it would not be hard
for the public officers at any time to econ
ondZe by letting the city run down IN
that manner, but such policy, if pursued
for any length of time, would soon re-
duce the population of the city. There
had, he said, been no public improvements
of any Importance during the Doran ad-
ministration, and therefore certain needs
became imperative in the course of the
subsequent Democratic adm nistration.
Even then Republican as well as Demo-
cratic, officials were responsible for the
expenditure.
FavOrites Must BE Republicans.
Taking up the subject Of the comptrol-
Ier's office, Mr.. Ives referred particular
ly to the conduct of Mr.. McCardy in re
gard to the payment of two salaries to
ASSemblyman George Dix, after he had
accepted the office of clerk of the mu-
nicipal court and while he still continued
TO retain his seat in the assembly, and
his refusal to pay Aid. Ed l.. Murphy
two salaries after he had been appoint
ed to the board of public works. This,
Mr.. Ives said was a fair sample Of Mr..
McCardy's policy as the watchdog OF
the treasury. 1t made all the difference
in the world whether he was dealing with
a Democrat or a Republican.
J. LOOMS made an earnest address, in
which he severely criticised the methods
employed by the Republican newspapers
in the present campaign. Joseph Matz
delivered an address in the Polish Ian
guage, and Frank Ellis spoke at some
length recommending the Democratic
candidates to the consideration of the
voters of the Eighth ward.
County Treasurer P. J. Metzdorf made
a few pertinent remarks on the subject
of taxation. He said that as county
treasurer he was in a position to know
something about the taxes, and he could
assure his hearers that the Democrats
were not solely responsible for the in
crease in the levy as had been set forth.
The present tax levy, he said, was in part
caused by expenditures Of 1900, and in
many ways the Republican government
had contributed to it, ]. B. Covington,
Of the Fourth ward, spoke briefly, and
SO did James Farrell.
Vocal music was furnished by Frank
Ellis and Frank Kelly.

who gathered there last night to indorse
the Democratic platform and ticket. The
hall was filled to overlooking. Scores
were unable to gain admission and at
least 2O0 were unable to find seats. Car
roll J. Hendy presided and addresses
were delivered by Henry A. Loughren,
Winn Powers, Peter Munkholm, Peter
Anderson, of Minneapolis; Senator John
Ives and D. w. Lawler.
Party Deserves Reward.
Henry A Loughren prognosticated an
overwhelming Democratic victory, be-
cause, he said, the Democratic party has
so conducted itself and it's administra-
ton of municipal affairs that it deserves
and will receive the commentator Of the
people in the shape of a large majority
for the entire ticket Winn Powers, can
didate for the assembly, made one Of his
characteristic hard senses speeches and
pledged himself, if elected, to assist in
giving the city a good, clean, business
administration of its affairs and to sup
port every plank of the Democratic plat
form. Peter Munkholm, candidate for
constable, made very favorable impress
sion with his maiden political speech
Peter Anderson, of Minneapolis has
been actively interested in every munich
pal campaign in st. Paul for twenty-nine
years. He said last night he has never
seen so much enthusiasm for the Demo-
cratic ticket as is exhibited in the pres
ent campaign and that the Scandinavian
whom the Republicans have always
banked on for an almost solid vote and
paid in unfulfilled promises will vote the
Democratic ticket in a manner calculated
to teach the Republicans a much needed
lesson and express the Scandinavian
Americans appreciation of the good gov
eminent and good schools provided by
Mayor Smiths administration. Mr.. And
erson exhorted the citizens of ST. Paul
not to make the mistake Minneapolis has
made. He said in part:
Past Is an object Lesson.
'FYou have paradise here in ST. Paul.
Your streets are clean. Your schools are
properly managed Your citizens are
protected. Do not for Gods sake repeat
what we have done in Minneapolis.
Many good citizens of Minneapolis are
ashamed to admit their residence there,
in this reign of disagreement. We are
suffering from the kind of police protec-
ton you had under Republican admins
tration. Our streets are full of big mitt
men and little mitt men and citizens are
held up and robbed in broad daylight.
Minneapolis is the haven for the crooks
of the country, as st. Paul was a few
years ago, and will be again if you permit
Republican mayor to- again disrupt
your police department
Senator Ives said he was surprised
that Mr.. Doran should again attempt to
run for mayor or that he should have
the assurance to believe that the people
will elect him after their experiment with
