France Looks With DisfavOr on Pro-
 posed Modification.
 Paris, Dec. 6.-The reports that France has given adhesion to Russian overtures for modification of the treaty of Paris so as to permit the Black sea fleet to pas through the DardanelIes are officially denied
 The authorities here say that no such application has been made and that at present there Is no indication of any modification of the treaty. The re- ports. 1t is added. originates through an apparent misunderstanding betwe an the Russian admirality and the Russian foreign ofice. Tha former dominated by the naval spirit, wishes the Black sea fleet to reinforce admiral Rojest vensky's squadron.
 The Russian diplomatic branch of the government does not share this view owine, to the recognised restrictions of the treaty of Paris. It is pointed out that the prohibition of the passage of the Dardanelles by warships of the powers is chiefly beneficial to Russia as it gives her a preferential position in the Black sea
 If the treaty is modified SO as to open the Dardanelles the straits thereafte' will remain open for the entrance oi Soreion fleets into the Black sea, thus termina atIng Russia's privileged posi-. tion therefore the officials believe tbat the Russian diplomatic branct will not yield to the desires of ths Russian admiralty. It Is recalled thni ,be admiraIty brought on the Anglo Russian crisis by permitting volunteei fleet vessel to pass the Dardanellei without consulting the Russian foreigI branch

UNITE FOR SUCCESS
Candidates for County Com
nissIoners join Hands

Evidences continue to multiply that the
Democratic candida tes for county COM
missioner will win all along the line.
The result of the primaries was salts
factory to Democrats generally all over
the city and county, and the six candidates
on the ticket are receiving the cordial
support of all Democrats with large ac-
eessions from Republicans who are attract
ed to their support by the good selections
made by the primaries.
Robert N. Grady. Robert N. Hare Will
liam E. Dindorf, Fred Schroeder, Henry
Bucher and Adolph Iindgren constitute
the list of Democratic nominees for coun-
ty commissioner All but Mr.. Butcher and
Mr.. Lindgren run at large in the city,
while the remaining two are the candi-
dates in the country districts. The four
in the. city are making concerted fight
for election and are in constant COM
munication with each other. Warm per-
sonal friends of one man are being solicit
ed by their candidate to vote for the other
three, and the result it is firmly expect
ed, will elect the entire commissioner
ticket.
The seommissionerships have long been
held by the Republicans, and not to their
credit. For the past few years there have
been grave charges in the public press re-
fecting ON the board. With the admin
istration of the county Offices that have
been held by Democrats which have prov
Z ed to be the pride of their constituents,
the Democrats are making the successful
argument that If theyzare given the con-
troll of the board OF county commissioners
they will administer this important branch
of the county government in the same
successful and economical manner that
has characterized their handling of the af-
fairs of other important county offices.

MURPHY WILL CAMP
ON TRAIL OF FOOT
Declares He VIII Repeat His Criticisms
s in Every Speech

E. L. Murphy, who has severely criti-
cised Jesse Foot. the Republican candi-
date for city treasurer in two speeches
in his home ward. the Ninth, will be
invited to talk at meetings in other
sections OF the city, the charges that
Murphy makes having attracted much
attention. -
At meeting held at 643 Canada
street Wednesday evening Mr.. Murphy
repeated his former charge that M l..
Finkelstein is really the Republican
candidate for county treasurer, and
besides added a number Of additional
accuse tions. making the case more cir
cumstantial.
Il have meant every word that l have
said,'' explained Mr. Murphy yesterday.
s.ard am prepared to prove the charges
that I have fnade + consider that there
is no chance of Foot being elected. but
I7also believe that the voters are en-
titled to know all about man who IS
a candidate for such an important po-
sitionz In both speeches | stated the
plain truth, and will reiterate them
whenever and wherever I appear dur

of quiet work among the students since
its organization a month ago, and the
president, John Current, claims that 80
per cent. of the<university vote will be
cast for Johnson.
The fact that there is no large hall
near the university has made 1t i'm
possible for the executive committee
to secure. any speakers for the club
alone, but they have decided to do the
next best thing. and that is to join in
with the Democrats of Minneapolis in
