DEMOCRATS REVISE
THEIR TEXT BOOK
Have Added Fresh Chapters Replying to
Arguments of Republican Leaders
To Be Issued Shortly.

The Democratic Congressional Com
mittee, of which Congressman Griggs Of
Georgia is the chairman, will give to
the public. late this week or early the
next. a Democratic textbook intended
especially for the guidance of political
chairman and those who will take the
hustings in the coming campaign.
The textbook has been in the hands
of the printer for some time and 1t
would have been out several days ago
if 1t had not been for the appearance of
the Republican textbook. When that
literary production came out. the Dem
ocrats had finished work on their own.
and were ready for the issue, but the
Democratic leaders took enthusiastically
to the study of the Republican book and
they discovered that there were several
subjects upon which it was silent.
There was no reference. for instance,
to Cuban reciprocity; not word on
tariff revision. There were, moreover,
a chapter or two devoted to minimlz-
ing OF the evils caused by the great
American trusts.
These things moved the Democratic
leaders to revise their volume and to
add to it a few chapters dealing more
especially with the "sins of omission" ="
of the Republican party. The printer
has now nearly finished his work sand
the book will be ready for issue in n
few days.

New York Banker Admits That Demo-
Gratis Have Sought Him.

LONDON. Aug. 13.-Mr. C. A Pugsley
president of the Westchester County Ma
tional Bank, who is passing through
London to the Continent for the benefit
Of his wife's health. which has greatly
improved. says that he intends to spend
his entire vacation in Holland.
He does not deny that certain New
York State leaders have approached him
with thesview of offering him the Demo-
cratic nomination for the governorship.
He will consider the matter while in
Holland. Mr.. Pugsley declares that he
is a banker, not a politician. When he
entered politics he did not intend to re-
main.
In reviewing the political situation. he
said he believed there would be no tidal
wave swaying the electors either way.
He expects that the issues will be Cuban
reciprocity and the trusts. Mr.. Pugsley
will start for home in the middle Of

Bert s. Garnet, a landsman on the

reason for his action:

The book was silent on the subject oi

made each quarter in writing to the Ad
jutant General of the Army as to the
progress of the military instruction.
No detail of military instructor shall be

dred pupils under military instruction.
Such pupils are to be organized into
companies and battalions of infantry,

schools The military schools include
those already under the control of the
army, such as the Leavenworth Service
