DEMOCRATIC ORAToRY.
Vice Presidential Candidate Davis at
Littleton.


LITTLETON, w. Va. October 13.-At
Warrington, the center of the West Viz
ginia Oil region the citizens assembled en-
masse to hear the democratic Oratory. and
the schedule was so arranged that the
meeting was extended to double the time.
Mr.. McGraw followed Mr.. Davis, both dis
cussing state issues. 4
Senator Bailey then took up the work
and made his firSt speech in the whirlwind
campaign. After discussing the effect of
republican rule An national taxation he
turned his attention to President Roose-
welt. On the fist topic he concluded that
the government could do nothing for the
people until the people had done something
first for the government.
In paying high-salaried officials their
money and then having another official pay
it back, he said, there was great danger of
having some of it stick to the fingers of the
officials. .'-
''They began stealing stamps in Cuba"
he continued, land wound up by stealing
the whole Post Office Department at WASH
ington." Presdeht Roosevelt, he said. had
spent more on yachts for his own private
use and for making repairs at the White
House than it had cost To- run the whole
executive department OF the government
under President Jackson. - -t..
He has taken down the ,yenerable signs
of revolutionary age. and the emblems of
progress and peace, and replaced them
with emblemS OF war and the chase. No
longer hangs the picture of the gentle lady
on this wall. 1t has been taken down and
sold for old furniture, and in it's place the
rifle and the bear skin hanging today.
Going into the White House you have to
take care or you will stumble over the
lions head, the leopards hide or the tigers

l.. Douglas was today formally notified
of his nomination for governor by the
democratic state convention Prominent
democrats from all over the state attended
the ceremonies. Representative John r.
Thayer made the notification speech to
which Mr.. Douglas replied at considerable
length.
Nj Douglas Endorsed the attitude of the
democratic party the Philippine Ques-
ton. Discussing the tariff. which he desig-
mated as the most important issue this year.
MIR Douglas said that in his opinion 1.-The
Diagley tariff wall that surrounds this
ooutry is entirely too high not only for the
welfare Of consumers and of the people as
whole but for the manufacturers as
class. II protects the larger manufacturers
conlbined into trusts. at the expense of the
smaller and independent manufacturers 1t
does not protect the farmer. for the prices
of our staple farm products are usually
hAed by the prices in foreign markets. 1t
does not protect the working man, for three
is no tariff duty on labor. The only pro-
lection that American labor has against
that of foreign lands is that afforded by the
cost of passage from Europe to America
Which. Just now. is very small
Speaking of Massachusetts heavy tariff
burden" he said
ut is because Massa chusetts is partly cut
off from the rest of this country and is by
protected trusts deprived of the cheap raw
materials to which she is fairly entitled that
her more intelligent and enterprising citi-
?enS are now agitating for reciprocity with
Canada and other countries"

day before Justice Wright and jury in
Criminal Court No. l. on a charge of house

employed at the District Jail. new trial
was granted her.
The charges were such that Justice

ney for the District of Columbia to conduct
an investigation. Mr.. Peyton Gordon, then
assistant United States attorney. made an
inquiry to learn the facts. and submitted
his report to Justice Pritchard just about
the time the latter resigned from the local

quest that Justice Wright consider it and
take any action thereon he might deem
proper.

Stetson of New York presented resoiu-
ton limiting DEBATE on the marriage ana
divorce canon to five hours after the mat
ter shall have been reported to the mouse
by the committee of the whole. Mr.. Stet-
son proposed to give the majority report
supporters three hours and the minority
two hours for debate.
Mr. Scissors resolution prevailed after
II had been amended to provide that the
amendment to the canons which forp1dS liiS
femarriage of ny divorced person shall be
the first to be voted upon.
Should Quit Rsmarrying Business.
He said the church should 20 out of the
remarriage business. The disputed pas
sage in ST. Matthews gospel permitting
man to divorce his wife for one cause was
considered by Rev. H. H. Oberiy or Ei1z-
abeth, N j. He held that there was per-
mission in the passage for a woman to re-
marry.
The proposed reform was opposed by A.
II. Frown of San Francisco. who thought
the new canon would have absolutely no
effect on the divorce evil. which ne
thought should be reached by the state
legislatures.
Rev. George C. Hall of Wilmington, Del:
declared that the state was openly anu
unblushingly encouraging vice.
Plant From Missionary Delegates.
The delegates from the missionary dis
tricts at this point entered a complaint that
they were not furnished with sufficient

that time was being wasted. and wrangle
was avoided only by vote to lay on the
table a resolution of protest offered by. the
missionary delegates.
When tranquility was restored Rev. Dr.
Parks, in behalf of the minority report on
divorce, asked for permission to Withdraw
the report. The request was granted. The
minority report favored the existing canon,
but contained an amendment competing

ARGUMENTS HEARD.
Appeal of William Farr Before Higher
Court Today.

The Court of Appeals today heard argu-
ments on the appeal of William Farr from
the order of the District Supreme Court re-
fusing to discharge him from the custody
of the marshal. He was committed by q
United States commissioner to await
warrant for his removal to Tennessee for
trial there.
The charge against Farr in Tennessee Is
said to be that he devised a scheme to de-
fraud. to be effected by the use of the
United States mail.
The alleged scheme was that Farr claim
ed to confer honorary law degrees of a
reputable university, while. it is said. the
degrees were from an institution which ex-
lists only on paper and could be procured
by any one willing to pay the price. with
out regard to character or qualifications.
Farr contends that the scheme charged
does not come within the statutes and that
the indictment is 50 technically defective as
rot to justify the court in sending him back
to Tennessee for trial.

TO OPPOSE REELECTION.
Congregational Church Element De-
murs to Bradford's Acts.

DIES MONIES. Iowa. October 13.-The
conservative element in the Congregational
Church will oppose the reelection of Rev.
a II. Bradford as moderator at the ma
tiOnal Congregational council which opened
here this afternoon, the ground being taken
that he has overstepped his duty and that
his acts smack of episcopacy. The progress
sive element claim that "A strong man at
the head OF the church is necessary for the
good of the denomination.
The progressives say that the present
plan OF an absolute Congregational control
is perfect for the strong churches but that
a man should be in the field with authority
and power TO help and direct the weaker
churches of the country. 1t is also claimed
by the progressives that one OF the reasons
for the failure of the church TO advance In
nuraberS Is that no one has been at the
head of the work of the church to direct
the work OF the forces already organized
