MILWAUKEE,, Wis, June 27.-The
Democratic state convention called for
the purpose of adopting platform to
be recommended to the candidates who
will be nominated at the, primary elec-
tion in the fall, met here today. There
were about 700 delegates in their seats
when Chairman H. H. Manson Of
Wausa raped for order and announced
the names of temporary officers.
That the Bryan supporters would
rule the convention seemed to be a
foregone conclusion
Daniel H. Grady of Portage was tenn
porary chairman of the convention,
and in his opening remarks said:
Comparison of Principles
IF the measure of a party's greatness
and party's success be its ability to
bamboozle the people into mistaken
belief or to gain the coveted position as
a provider of political pap, the Demo-
cratic party may not have been sue
cess.
"But to the credit of that ~arty be it
said, it has not departed from it's prin-
ciples of government that it might meet
the popular approval, but has taught
the lesson to rising generations that
there are higher and nobler things in
life than the holding of political office
ITO those whom love of ..erishable
power has teen so alluring. tne Repub-
lican party has ever made it's appeal
saying to the citizen as he stands on
life's threshold that within its ranks
may be found the wealth ard influence
of the commercial world.
This assertion is only too true. for
more men have been enriched by the
illgotten gains as the fruit of the Re-
publican policy Of levyine tribute upon
the many for the benefit of the few
than under any and all Of the most cor
rupt governments the world has ever
known.
Upon the right of a gove rnment to
levy tribute upon one class for the
benefit of another, we AVE ever diff
tower of Democracy has been sounded
the keynote of warfare against that
system that has strangled individual
enterprise and has stifed legitimate
competition.
Prediction Comes to Pass
THE prediction of the party years
ago has come to pass, and to quote the
words of the Republican kovernor,
Cummins of Iowa, The total life insur-
ance CRAFTS for all time have not been
one-fifth of the annual amount of
which the people have been despoiled
by excessive tariff rates
I'VE have seen the effect of the tariff
upon the three great indI tries that
should go hand in hand and shoulder to
shoulder to secure the greatness Of the
country and the prosperity of her
people.
"We say to them that the cause of
this condition is the inequable pro-
tective system.
"We have seen the illgotten millions,
the levied blackmail, the tribute paid
for governmental favor. the money
wrongfIlly withheld by the life in
surance companies from widows and
children poured out pom a tempted and
deluded people, and by criminal con-
spiracy and coercion without parallel

DECLARE THAT THAw is SANE
Committee Visits Prisoner, but Latter
Refuses to Talk
Bv a ssociatnd Press.

Bv Associated Press
NEW YORK, June 27.-That Harry
K. Thaw, the slayer of Stanford White.
Is perfectly sane was the report made
today by the alienists retained by the
district attorneys Office to examine
into the prisoners mental condition.
This report was made after the ply
sicians had spent an hour with -haw,
who, in defiance of the advice of his
counsel, former Judge Olcott, refused
to answer any questions and declared
that nothing short of actual force will
compel him to submit to a physical eX-
animation.
When the committee of physicians
called on the prisoner Thaw said firmly,
as the first men were introduced to
him by Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton,
retained for the defense:
II beg your pardon; 1 will answer
no questions whatever"
Thaw Refuses to Talk
Then began a general conversation
on trivial subjects with DR.. Austin
Flint and DR.. Hamilton, Thaw deftly
parrYing any questions that had any
bearing on his mental and physical
condition.
Finding him obdurate the doctors
hurriedly summoned Mr.. Olcott. but
to him Thaw vehemently reiterated his
determination to answer no questions.
"You can put 1t down to the condition
of my feelings If you WILL" said Thaw.
my nerves are unStrung; their ten
sion is great. | will not be examined
today"
Pressed for clearer caGse for his re-
fusal he said:
81 haven't any; I have none at all.
Put it down to obstinacy II you
wish"
oIcott Advises Prisoner
He had promised Mr.. Olcott before
the examination. "This refusal will
hurt you." Mr. Olcott is said to have
pleaded.
"I don't care; nothing but absolute
force will get me to allow myself to
be examined or to say anything today.
1 think l first ought to talk to DR..
Hamilton and then have atalk with Mr..
Delafield. Later / viii tell you whether
/ will talk with the committee or not"
He was then taken to his cell
Mr.. Olcott said later he was unable
to account for Thaw's attitude and
that he could only attribute 1t to un-
accountable obstinacy. AS his counsel,
he said, he had no objection to Thaw's
answering any of the questions adv
dressed to him by the physicians.
Mrs. Thaw Sees Husband
After the alienists had departed Mrs.
Thaw was permitted to see her husband
for the first time since his arrest
She came to the Tombs in a carriage
by her husbands brother,
Joseph c. Thaw The meeting between
husband and wife was affectionate and
they remained together talking In an
undertone for nearly an hour. Thaw
also received a visit from his sister,
Mrs. George G., Carnegie and Clifford
w. EIartridge Of Pit tsburg.

The most effective way for Con-
gresssto cope with the trusts is 10
remove the very heavy duty upon
articles ofevery-day consumption.
The recent net removing the tax
of SOS per gsllon on den tured
alcohol will be o more effective
blow to the Standard Oil trust
than the much mooted inyestlga-
ton and prosecution. The trust
has been supplying millions #
galloMsof gasoline for mechanical
purposes at its own price. Now
with the prohih:tive tax removed
industrial alcohol will be slrorg
competitor of gasoline. 1t is esti-
mated tha;ls20 per cent more power
can be realized from alcohol than
from gasoliue. IF this be true, the
former is destined to supplant the
latteraentirely as motor fuel,
and instead of having Standard
Oil gasoline run the engines in
shops and OH the farms alcohol
(but not the "fuss x kind) will
be used.

an average of one each month. 1t
is shocking and repulsive to ones

and yet capital punishment has
it's place in he enforcement OF
law and suppression of crime. SO
important place does this form
of punishment occupy that when
certain atrocious and diabollcal
crimes are committed the we'll
being ;of society is jeopardized
when death is not meted out to
the gully i'll this manner. The
people of Williamsburg have net
been slow to realize this fact.
