DEMOCRATS GETTING RUSY.N
Rolding Conferences Up the state TO FIRE.
pare Cor the q Campaign.

ALBANY, May 12.-Democrats represent
ing six of the seven counties In the Third
Judicial district conferred here to-day
at Democratic State headquarters. The
Democrats Of the Sixth district meet in
Binghamton to-day. The Hudson River
counties Of the old Second district and
Democratic representatives OF counties
in the Syracuse district have already con-
ferred. Similar conferences Of representa-
tive Democrats in other upstate counties
will followrshortly.
At the Syracuse conference resolutions
were adopted suggesting an early meeting
Of the Democratic State committee to elect
a new State chairman in order that prepara-
tions should be begun to build up the Demo-
cratic organizations in the hfty-flve counties
above The Bronx, The Democrats feel
that this Is a Democratic state, and that with
n material diminution in the amount OF
corporation money which the Republicans
will AVE to dispense next fall the Demo-
Gratis can win.
They believe this in spite Of the injection
of Hearst into the situation: In fact they
nave no hesitation in saying that with proper
management and a lack Of campaign funds
or the Republican end Democratic victory
next fall is possible to a degree which has
not existed In a decade.
It Is a belief in such a situation which is
responsible for the Democratic confer
ences throughout the State. Those present
at the conference in Albany to-day were
D-Cady Herrick, State Committeeman P. E.
McCabe, County Chairman Harry j.. Nc
Cam and City Chairman William V. Cooke
Of Albany; Everett Fowler, the new county
chairman Of Ulster; G. B, Van Valkenburg
Of Greene, and ex-senator Clarence Blood
good Of Catskill, County. Chairman John
Van Ness Phillip Of Columbia, Francis
Riley Of Rensselaer, and Daniel d. Frisbie
Of Schoharie.
No resolutions were adopted at to-day's
conference, but the Democratic situation
In the district was gone over thoroughly.

WANTED TO REGENERATE SPAIN,
Marquis De Tore Hermoss Says He Was In
Too Much OF q Hurry and So Got Out.


PHILADELPHIA, May 'l2.-Marquis De
Tore Hermosa, first cousin OF the King Of
Spain. Is at present enjoying a yachting
and automoblling trip in America, with
Major J. s. Miller OF New York, son OF the
multi-millionaire, Gen. Charles Miller Of
Franklin. Major Miller, his sister and the
Marquis were at tho Bellevue-Stratford
to-day en- route to Atlantic City.
Marquis De Tore Hermosa was at one
time a member OF the Spanish Cabinet and
says he was slated to become Prime Min
lister. but he developed pronounced social
istio views and was practically advised to
travel until he changed his opinions. His
brother is Minister to the United States
from Spain. Sc,
"My one great wish is to seethe regenera-
but / was in TOO much Of. a hurry to bring
some Of the needed chan ges about to please

whom I know well. He is a remarkably
bright young man, finely educated and
has some pr gressive ideas.

is needed Is to have workmen paid about

and develop q prosperous country rather
than a few rich men. ] have told employers
Of labor that Spain should pay higher sal

thereby, as not only would the mel be better

they do now and expand every industry.

Why COAL MINERS DIDN'T STRIKE
Public wasn't BACK Of Them and Funds
were Low, Their Organ Says.

INDIANAPOLIS, May i2.-In q leading
editorial to-day the United Mine Workers
journal gives reasons as follows for not
going on strike In the anthracite fields:
There were several things that could
not help impress themselves upon the
observers The indifference or i'll oon-
strongly allied with the ming workers in
1902; then the attitude Of the State author
tiles was openly and distinctly hostile,
and every preparation had been made to
use armed force 10 provoke disturbances
and to shoot first and INQUIRE afterward.
Again, no matter how firm the mine
workers would have stood, there was nc
financial support to sustain them in the
prolonged struggle such as the operators
had prepared for. Had the men in the three
districts stood solidly by the organization
since 1902, and created q strong defence fund.
ID is possible that the operators would not
have prepared last summer for a reduction
in wages and a return to ten hours and
Sunday work.
1T must not be lost sight OF that the
ESQ, 900 mine workers and other trade
unions that contributed 90 per cent. Of
the support in 1902 have strikes Of their
own on their hands and need every dollar
they can raise"
That II is likely that a strike assessment
will be levied on the anthracite miners and
the bituIpinous miners that are at work,
to support the bituminous workers that
are on strike, is indicated by this state
ment in the Journal.
aThe resumption In the anthracite dis
tricts will he the means OF furnishing a
source Of revenue to help aid the financially
weak districts In the bituminous fields
In summarizing the situation In the
bituminous fields the Journal says: -Four
or Ave of the largest operators In central
Pennsylvania have combined to force the
open shop there"

She got the money for the goods, and when
