tend all the primaries Of my party
to be held between now and the
next Democratic national conven.
tion, unless unavoidably prevent
ed, and to use my influence to Sc
cure a clear, honest and straight
forward declaration of the party's
position on every question upon
which the voters of the party de
sire to speak" This is accompa
MED with blanks for signatures
and addresses. The Commoner
states that newspapers fayoring
the plan are requested to repro
duce the pledge as it appears on
the circular issued and mailed to.
the press all over the country.
The editorial adds that this plan
does not involve the writing of a
platform in advance of the prima
ries nor rest upon the paramount
importance of any one issue. The
whole argument rests upon the
right of Democratic voters to con-
troll the policy Of the Democratic
party and to determine its position
upon public questions. In other
words, it embraces plan which
recognizes the right of the people
to rule. The Commoner further
states that "The national conyen
ton is attended by delegates and
each delegate represents tens of
thousands of Democrats. The
State convention is also attended
by delegates, and these represent
thousands of Democrats. The
county conventions are, as a rule, |
attended by delegates, and these in
turn represent hundreds of Demo
Gratis. AT the primary the voters
speak for themselves; there Dem
ocracy has its citadel"
More is said about the prelimi.
nary work and The Commoner's
offer to do its part Of the work.
All this sounds very good, but
where should it originate and by |
whomg Why not The Common
er insist upon the National Execu
tive Committee taking up the
natter That is the constitutional
function Of the committee. That |
is one of the first duties for which
it was brought into being.
What is the significance Of The
Commoner's monopoly of the
schemeg 1t looks very much like
somebody had an axe to grind.
The theory is good, but it is not
in the proper hands.
William Jennings Bryan is a
great orator and great man, but
he should eschew all such politics
as this. 1t is not practical to say
the least of it.

THE DOODLE FARCE.

The Chattanooga Press sends us
a proof sheet of editorial extracts
from that paper on 'The Adulter-
alton of Flour and "No Doodle
Senators From the South.n The
adulteraticn of food, of course, is
a growing evil and demands the
attention of the press. 1t should
be treated pointedly and energetic
ally, and the battle should be
without gloves. As to the election
of Senator'S, however, there is no
demand for reform in the South.
Otherwise the extract would sound
very sweet but for the fact that it
had string on it. a little fulsome
flattery for Senator Frazier. The
news from Washington b ad
flashed over the wires from the
bedside Of General Bate that life
was extinct. With unu ual
promptness and systematic dis
patch the administration and cor
porate forces we're hurried to
Nashville ostensibly for the pur-
pose of paying tribute over the
remains of the dead Senator. The
funeral train was very solemn and
impressive. There was no suspi-
cion of mockery no hint of secret
chambers and silent Juggling. The
last sad rites closed what revela-
tionl The astounding news came
that the forces were completely
and thoroughly organized and that
the holding of the caucus was only
matter of form. Gov. Frazier
had been practically declared the
Democratic nominee for United
States Senator to succeed General
Bate before the funeral cortege
had reached their homes. The
work was done when it should
have begun. There was no need
for further trouble and there was
no uneasiness except sort Of
harassed feeling that the snap
caucus forces might possibly be
stormed and demoraIized. These
fears we're groundless. The Gov
errors advisory board (the State
Executive Committed and all its
network, including the Admins
tration Assemblymen, stood pat.
The storm of protest issuing from
the people all over the State did
not phase it. The Sphinx was
petrifed. Taylor and McMillin
had as we'll remained away from
Nashville as far as they were con-
cerned. They never had the ghost
of chance; neither did the peo-
pie. The Press says truly, we
suppose, that the money expended
was only $11.bo. It was an easy
job. How much more the cost to
s1nfar tba oo,,n.,o fonr ~ 6va dave
and give the suffragists a chance

What did the snap caucus cost the
peoplethe only right they had to
exercise the privilege Of free

the cost Of Governor Frazier's
election. Is his estate any better

 Mobile Sept. q.

Mobile Sept. z. Deputy Sheriff W. s. Brewster arrived down to the city this morning from Oak Grove, having in custody Went worth Cowan, a white man beyond 6O years of age.
 Cowan was brought here to answer two serious charges. Deputy Brewster stated the aged man was charged with incest, his daughter heinz about 20 years of age. He claims the girl made acknowledgment to three reputable citizens of Oak Grove. Allie Walker. stepson of Cowan, charges him with having threatened his life and that Cowan would have accomplished his purpose but for Deputy Brewster. He also charges that Cowan burned his vaIise, clothes and, other valuables. Cowan made no statement when seen this morning relative to the charges of Walker, but strenuously denied the charge of the deputy sheriff as to the incest. He said he had been accused of this crime once before in Illinois, where he lived until two and one-half years ago, but was honorably discharged af- ter being tried.
 Judge Samuel B. Browne, of the Thirteenth Judicial circuit is up against a proposition as to the place of hold ing the next term of Baldwin circuit
 
 decision of the Supreme Court in the 10th Alabama In the case of Hand vs. Stapleton holds, wherein Stapleton got the decision, he will have to recognize Daphne as the county site. The high CT court held the law of removal of the court house from Daphne to Bay Minnette had never become operative. He is taking much pains to solve the problem and declared his intention of giving his conclusion in a very few days.
 The removal of the Baldwin County court house from Daphne to Bay Min cite was only accomplished after long and bitter fight in and out of the courts and is today very live ques- ton with the residents of the largest county in the State.
