row Night.

Provided, however, that it shall be the duty
Of the president to thoroughly investigate,
through the diplomatic and consular repre-
sentatives of the United States In Cubai and
by such other means as he may deem neces-
sary to employ for the purpose, whether the
tariff concession ,hereinbefore provided upon
articles the growth, production or manufac-
ture of Cuba substantially inures 80 far as
the articles of sugar and tobacco are con-
cerned, to the benefit Of the producers of said
articles in Cuba, and If the president shall be
satisfied from such investigation that the sub
stantial benefit of said concession upon either
of said articles is inuring to the purchasers

The Boyish-LoOking Mr.. StrinEer
Uncorks a Surprising Flow
of OratOry., ~

Convention. Hall, Springfield, ILL.,, June
the democratic state convention met in
Machinery hall on the state fair grounds.
Chairman John NJ Hopkins, chairman Of
the state central committee, called the
convention to order and introduced the
temporary chairman, Lawrence B..
Stringer, of Lincoln. r
Mr.. Stringer, who is slight and boyish-
looking, was greeted with great applause
as heNtook up the gavel. He said:
:. Is it strange or is It startling that at one
fell ,swoop our whole national policy should
be reversed and our future career irrevocably
changed? 1t is not so strange when one re-
fleets that the party in power. owes its sue
cess TO the organized and syadicated trusts,
which have seized the, government itself. Hav-
ing. exploited every pursuit upon American
soil, they have sought new worlds to con-
quer and at their behest and bidding we are
to-day exchanging blood for dividends and
ruling crown colonies by the sword. In vain
shall the people find relief from these mighty
monsters of prey, from the party whose
tariff policy has, produced themG which has
Ted, nourished and maintained them, and
which is the. supplent recipient of their
bounty. Feints to- regulate, grand-stand
plays to chasten, paper prosecutions and in
functions to restrain, do not and will not suf-
flee. If the law be broken, let the offenders
3 be indicted, tried and convicted Of their
crimes, as. the law provides, rather than to
be pleasantly warned not to break the law
again. 80
: Drastic legislation is needed. and extreme
measures are required to rend these trusts
apart, to felonize their reunion, to freelst
their products: and democracy alone, which
neither loves them nor fears them, Is the
only agency in the land that can defeat and
destroy them.
: Underlying every act against law, liberty
and humanity, committed by the party in
power, will be found the high protective
tariff tax. Destroy high tariffs and you de-
stroy the trusts. Destroy the trusts and you
destroy the soul and quench the fire of the
imperialistic and colonial policy that has
hauled down the nations flag and raised a
counterfeit copy of the same instead with
,clots of blood for stars.
The democratic party stands for the aboli-
ton of privileges to the few, for taxes no
greater than government needs and for a
trade unfettered and free. 1t stands for an
expansion, contiguous and constitutional. 1t
stands for the enforcement of law until the
shadow of imperialism has been sent back
to the European hell from whence it came.
Upon the conclusion of Mr.. Stringer's
address, which was greeted with cheers,,
the report of the committees on creden-
tails was read and the temporary organl-
zation was made permanent.

BONDsMEN ARE UNEASY
Some Don't Worry, but Others Wish
to Withdraw.

~ r E, ~
Norbeck's disappearance has created a
feeling of uneasiness among men who
have signed the bonds Of other indict ed
police officials and it is quite likely that
some Of them will withdraw. 1t is GER
tain, too that his action will make 1t
doubly hard for the officials who are to be
indicted later to secure bondsmen.
One or two Of the men whose names are
signed to bonds already filed are out of
the city. Those in town are divided in
opinion Some say they will stick to
their bargain and express belief that
their principals will not betray them
Others are looking for way out of the
dilema. Probably every one of them
would be glad to withdraw if he, could do
SO gracefully.
One man. who talked to T h e j our
n this noon, said he would discuss the
matter with the, other bondsmen and
would advise a withdrawal.
AS a matter of fact Norbeck's flight has
created panic among sureties, and de-
velopments may be expected tomorrow.
