DEMOCRATS SOLID
FOR PEERLESS ONE
WISCONSIN LEADERS WILL IN

A State Convention Will Be Held,
Despite the Primary Law, to Frame
Party Platform Reform to Be
Demanded AL Along the Line.
Special to The journal.

Special to The Journal.
Milwaukee, Wis. June 23.-On Wednesday the
democrats OF Wisconsin will hold their state
convention in this city. The convention will be
unique, In that while it cannot be called a
defiance Of the law, it certainly Is being held
regardless of the statutes.
The last legislature passed law providing for
the framing OF q platform by the candidates
who were the victors at the primary election.
This law is not liked by the democrats, and
rather than allow the candidates to frame a
platform, the state committee decided to call O
convention despite the law and lay down a
democratic creed. In view of the fact that the
convention itself is held under different condt.
tons than specified by the primary election
law, the party will certainly take strong action
opposing the primary system. l SO
Everybody for Bryan.
1t will be Bryan convention from first to
last and SO far not one county has come to the
front with delegates favorable at least openly,
formally instructed their delegations to work
for an Endorsement of Bryan. and there seems
to be no doubt that the Nebraskan will be
pledged the states help in another campaign, II
he should be candidate. 4r --.-..-
The platform will be chiefly based on the
anh-corporation sentiment which the leaders be-
| neve is sweeping the continent. The question
| of taxation will be discussed and reforms de-
manded in the present system so as to make al
property share alike in the payment of the ex
penses of government. Publicity for the cor
porations and laws which will drive out monop
olies will be urged, and in this respect the
platform win be declaration OF the Bryan
| ideas. E. -. =.
law for national divorce will also b,
advocated. and there will be further demand
for pure-food laws in the state as well a.
nation. The insurance question will certainl!
come up, but in what form cannot be predicted
An income tax law will be demanded.
The question of franchises will come up, an,
! to prevent boodling charges the Nebraskan'
clause providing for the cancellation Of fran
chise shown to have been secured by boodlinl
will be made a plank ins the platform.
| AS to Candidates.
/ As this is to be strictly platform conven
tion, there will be no nomination of ticket
but 1t seems certain that Congressman Weiss
will be candidate at the September primaries
There is suspicion that William George Bruce
who was defeated by Mayor Rose in milwaukee
when he sought the democratic nomination

COLD TEA FOR TYPHOID FEVER

While carrying OF series of ex
periments to ascertain whether the
micrococcus melitensis, which is sup
posed to be the cause of Malta fever.
would survive in milk when added to
tea upon the bacillus typhosus. the
army medical corps recently made an
investigation into the action of cold
tea upon the bacillus tpyhosus, the
germ which causes typhoid fever.
The result of the experiments
showed that In five hours the micro
cuccus melitensis was completely de-
stroyed and in the case of the bacillus
typhosus contact with the cold tea for
four hours greatly disminished the
number of the bacl.n, and at the ex
piration of twenty hours none of the
bacill could be recovered from the tea.
The experiment is considered of great
interest with reference to the question
of the use of cold tea as a substitute
for water in the soldiers canteens as
a safeguard against typhoid infection.
When II is remembered that the Chi
nese, who habitually use cold tea as a
beverage in place of water. are almost
immune from this dread disease, which
destroys so many Americans and Euro
peans, may we not reasonably suppose,
in view of the experiments above men
toned, that the drinking of tea in place
of water may have the effect Of de-
stroying the germs, thus making them
immune TO the Washington
Post

STEEPLECHASE NOT
FOR THE ARMY

AS q nursery for army steepiechase
Jockeys the two meetings of the United
Hunts Racing Association must be pro-
uounced complete failures. Indeed, TO
Judge strictly by the results, the one
soldier who goes in for" amateur race
riding is Lieutenant Martin OF the
Fifteenth Cavalry, who came from Fort
Ethan Allen, in Vermont, last fall to
ride losing mount IN the grand mil
itary steeplechase" of the United
Hunts meeting at Morris Park. He
had the sporting pluck to journey from
recent United Hunts meeting at Wash
ington Lieutenant Martin lost again,
but on the closing day he won an open
military race from the only other start
er. ridden by a Baltimore militia cav
alryman. The United Hunts committee
has been earnest in missionary work
and generous in prizes, but the army
has practically turned cold shoulder
to all tempta tons to join in steeple-
chases.
In letter to the president of the
United Hunts Racing Association, sent
some time prior to the Washington
meeting, General ]. F. Bell, chief of
staff, said it would give him pleasure
to encourage military steeplechasing in
our service, and he added a terse eX-
preston of the difficulties in the way.
Unfortunately" the letter continued,
there are not many horses owned in
the American army which would make
a very good showing, nor have Amer
lean officers, as rule, sufficient means
to engage in racing.

BRITISH ACQUIRING
COTTON LANDS

The visits which British experts
have been making to the cotton-grow
Ing sections of the South have natur-
ally aroused much interest and have
excited conjectures as to the underly-
Ing purpose. On Wednesday three
prominent English cotton manufactur-
ers arrived in New York en- route for
the South to study the situation az
delegates from the British Spinners'
Union. They preserve characteristic
business reticence as to their plans,
but what they had to say was calcu-
lated to discourage the idea that they
have In mind any investments in South
ern cotton lands. So far as they have
any statement to make, it is simply
that they are here on q visit of in
spection
1t can hardly be doubted, however.
that there is serious purpose behind
the studies that British cotton associa-
tions are now making OF the cotton
situation in this country, and that they
cover larger designs than the mere
gathering Of data For many years
past associations of British cotton
spinners have been systematically at
work promoting the. development of
additional sources Of supply. Large
expenditures have been made in trying
to establish cotton-growing In British
African colonies, but results have been
so meager and unsatisfactory that IL
is not at all surprising that attention
should turn to our Southern States.
Much experiment has shown that they
are the best cotton-growing region in
the world and 1t Is also we'll known
that cotton production there is far
from reaching the extent that is prac-
tically possible. The present crop Ia
raised upon a fraction of the land
available for cotton growing. Intelli-
gent application of labor and capital
to the industry would greatly increase
the yield.
The recent arrivals constitute only
one among q number of parties which
have visited this country to examine
the cotton situation. Every phase of
1t appears to have been made the sub
ject of study. Some time ago a COM
mission representing Lancashire spin
ners visited Texas, and 1t has Since
rendered q report which shows conclu-
sively that the British cotton Industry
is contemplating cotton culture In this
country as means of increasing sun
ply. The report, which is long and
technical, estimates the cotton-rroduc-
ing area at 5S0.000,000 aores-enough
to produce the present crop many times
over. Industrial possibilities are de-
scribed in detail, and the commission
says:
I'VE believe that the growth of their
raw material by the English spinners
cannot be regarded as hazardous, pro-
vided competent manager be appoint
ed. suitable land at a reasonable fie-
ure acquired. and sufficient labor oh
tanned"
In conclusion the commission saws.
I'VE strongly urge that a committee
be appointed at once to consider the
advisability of buying land" This
should be enough to end all uncer-
tainty as to the real purpose of the
movement now going on. 1t should
meet with hearty welcome, as 1t will
give q powerful impetus to Southern
Observation-Disclosures News.
