ENDORSED RICHARD OLNEY,
Bay State Democrats Favor His Can
didaey for President.


Boston. Mass, Jan The Democratic
state committee today indorsed a move
ment in favor of putting up Richard Oh
ney for the presidential candidate. The
resolutions read:
The Democratic state convention hereby
places on record its appreciation of the
iminent services rendered the Democratic
party and the nation by Richard Olney,
and expresses its firm conviction that
under his leadership in the coming presi-
Dental campaign important New England
states will swing over into the Democratic
column and the national party will
achieve a sweeping victory, insuring a
speedy reform of the abuses following a
continuance of the Republican party and
the re-establishment of those fundamen-
principals of government which that party
has deliberately and fagrantly violated.
To this end we invite the cooperation OF
the Democrats OF New England and of the
nation.
These resolutions were introduced by
Congressman McNary, who classed Mr..
Olney as one of the foremost Americans
and foremost Democrats
He thought that if the Democrats were
TO win this year they must carry the
United States. He said that Mr. Oiney
was strong in New York and New Jersey
and that he would be acceptable to those
states. New York not havin gany candi-
date. the nomination of a man from New
England and that man Mr.. Olney. would
have the Immense advantage to the
Democrats of establishing a large esatern
area. He believed Mr. Olney would be
strong in Ilhonis and Connecticut.

Of the Russian bfsots in Ksshiner thesr

Of the Russian bfsots in Kishiner their
lives are in peril.
A plan is being discussed by many of
the most influential Hebrews to bring
their co-reIigionists out Of the realm Of
the Czsr to this country. A movement
was inaugurated yesterday at a. big mass
meeting held in Philadelphia looking to
that end.
The meeting was held at the B'Nai
Abraham Synagogue. and the purpose
was to organize the Jews Of America into
league. with unlimited resources to
raise funds fer the removal Of the Jews
from Russia. The Rev. b. l.. Levinthal
presided, ard there was present a dele
cation CT members Of the Kishinef re-
lief committee Of this city. consisting of
Joseph s. Aphersteir. J. Ncguicko, NJ
Sirotto and Louis Cass
Arrangements were made to hold a big
national convention of representatives Of
all the important Hebrew lodges and
other organizations at whichh details Of
the great migration plan win be decided
Rabbi Levinthal was placed at the head
OF a special committee of Philadelphia
Jews to take up the matter more thor
oughiy with a delegation from this city
that will be appointed later. A branch
of the Jewish League Of America, under
whose auspices the movement will be
conducted, will be established in New
York and other large cities at once.
Appeals viii be made to the richest He
brews of the United States to contribute
toward one OF the mightiest funds ever

carrying out the idea that had its incep-
tion last Easter. For some time the
movement was in allegiance, but the re-
cent threats OF massacre that, il it
is prevented, will have been prevented
only through the universal condemnation
OF every Christian nation, have made it
clear to American Jews that their bre-
thern cannot with safety live under the
Russian flag.
Every Jewish millionaire or man Of
wealth will be asked to give something
Many millions Will be needed to carry out
the plan, one Of the details of which will
be the purchase og steamers to carry the
Jews from Russia to this country.
1t is proposed 20 purchase vast lands in
the west and give them TO the Russian
Jews for agricultural purposes. The Rus
sian Jews are not permitted in Russia to
own or even to lease single foot Of land
for agricultural purposes. and some of
the deepest Hebrew thinkers in the
United States believe that If they are
once given chance to prove their work
in free country as producing people
they will astonish the world.
So far as the plans of the American
Jews are concerned to take further meas
ures to prevent the threatened massacre
next Thursday, little that is known can
be told. Mass meetings are being held in
practically every city Of the United States
and the petitions to President Roosevelt
are pouring in on him by the thousand.
