PARSONS WINNER
OYER B. B. ODELL
MURPHY RETAINS LEADERSHIP
TAMMANY BY NARROW MARGIN.
PARSONS HAD THE BACKING OF
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

New York. September 1S.-In a bitter
clash Of opposing factions in today's pri-
mary elections In New York county, Con-
the New York county committee, won
sweeping victory for the control of the
republican organization while Leader
Charles r. Murphy of Tammany Hall re-
tanned his post at the head of the organ
iztion by narrow margin.
The Parsons victory In the republican
party was a complete rout Of the fac
tion led by State Chairman b. b. Odell,
Jr, and Lemuel E. Quigg Mr. Parsons
had the backing Of President Roosevelt
and Governor Higgins. He telephoned the
President at Oyster Bay tonight telling
him of the victory and received Mr.. Roose-
velt's congratulations.
This means" said Mr.. Parsons to-
night, that Mr.. Odell will not succeed
himself as state chairman
In the democratic battle Leader Murphy
had the fight of his life. Friends of Mayor
Mcclellan had banded together to wrest
the control OF Tammany from Murphy,
and were very nearly successful in do
ing so.
While Mr.. Murphy is accredited with a
victory on the face of some of the lead
ers recorded as Murphy men, are not pro-
nounced in their affiliation and may swing
the result around when the test really
comes In the county convention.
The success of Mr.. Parsons means that
the state convention held at Saratoga,
September 25. will be controlled by the
friends of Governor Higgins. Whether or
not Governor Higgins will be a candi-
date for denomination has not been an
nounced
The effect of Leader Murphys slight
margin of victory at the democratic prl-
mary is somewhat problematical.
Mr.. Murphy has been regarded of late
as friendly to the nomination of William
r. Hearst for governor. If he can con-
troll the Tammany convention he may OBJ
tain unit rule and throw all the 105
Tammany votes to Mr.. Hearst In the
Buffalo convention next Tuesday.
Mayor Mcclellan, who is against
Murphy for Tammany control, has been
outspoken as an advocate of the nomlna-
tlon of District Attorney William Travers
Jerome.
In Kings county (Brooklyn) Senator
Patrick II. McCarren retained control of
the democratic organization
Timothy Woodruff, formerly lieutenant
governor and friend of Governor Higgins.
won out for the republican control in
Kings county by big majority against

cdoring Matter, FIaTors and
PreSGfVatiVeS are Discussed
USE OF ANILINE Is DEFENDED
New Pure Food Law Regulations VIII
Go Into Effect October 1-Circu-
lar Describes Products
Affected.

New York, September 1S.-The use OF
coloring matter, flavors and preservatives
IN foods and drugs was discussed before
the government commission appointed 10
hear the arguments of manufacturers as
to the application of the pure food law
at a continued hearing in this city today.
Many merchants and manufacturers were
present. DR. Hugo Lieber of H. Lieber d
Co. defended the use of aniline or coal
tar dies in food. He said that all but
one of the aniline colorings was harmless,
and that the burden of proof that the
colorings were injurious rests. upon the
department of agriculture. The use OF
color in canned tomatoes, he said, was
concession to the public demand for the
natural color of the vegetable which was
lost in canning. 1t was not detrimental
to health, he said.
DR.. Hugo Sweitzer said that eight or
ten of the 1000 anline colorings might be
harmful If used in excess, but that, II
moderately used none Of the colors were
harmful There could be no harm In
coloring a real cherry or strawberry jam.
He declared, If the article was what it
was TeDTeSeUltu " Dos butACAt AAC oe'ih Wa
colored without restriction by law, and
he asked Dr. II. w. Wiley of the commits
sion; Why don't you eat white butter?'
II do when I can get it." replied DR..
Wiley.
DR.. sweitzer said the public would not
touch a Maraschino cherry unless 1t was
colored.
Want Butter CoIored.
The butter coloring manufacturers were
represented by the Heller and Merz COM
pany. The representatives of the COM
pany declared that the manufacturers Of
butter would be glad to do away with
the use of ooloring matter, which compli-
Gated the manufacture of butter, but that
-he consumer demanded t'aet the butter
he coiored. He noted that in the north
the consumer demands a lighter shade OF
color than in the south and in South
America the demand Is for deep orange.
He declared that so per cent OF the colors
used In butter were the aniline as against
the vegetable colors.
Edward Gudeman declared that only a
fraction of the 1000 aniline colors are used
in food products He said he had made
physiological and chemical tests of forty
of the most used colors and determined
them harmless
r. F. Bloutin, representing the Louisi-
ana Sugar and Planters association testi-
flying to the fact that strict enforce
ment of the law would have upon the
manufacturing of sugar In Louisiana. He
said none of the chemicals used remained
in the sugar at the completion of manu-
fucture, but an infinite small part of COM
pound of tin sometimes remained in the
fnolasses. No injurious effect had ever
been noted in the twenty years the pres
ent method of manufacturing was em-
ployed. The plantation mules were fed
as much as two and a half gallons of
rnolasses a day as a food, and no III
effects were ever noticed.

Introduced BY overman.
Senator Lee ,s.-.Overman introduced the
Nebraskan It'd a tremendous crowd at
High Point Noting the number of labor
ing men In his audience. Mr.. Bryan de-
voted the larger part of his talk to the
relations of capital and labor. During his
remarks he said;
IT shall never forget in my campaign
of 1896 there was inserted.in my plat
form a plank of arbitration between Ia
Dor and capital. Some will tell you that
the silver plank drove away from me
most of the support. but I tell you 1t was
not the silver plank but the clause for
arbitration that drove them away far
more than silver. Again l insisted that
there should be an arbitration plank and
would not leave my party to take back
ward step where I believed they were
right as 1 now believe they are.'
He favored arbitration between capital
and labor, declaring that every state
should have q board of arbitration, that
the differences between corporation in
terests and those of the laboring men
might be acquired without the cruel nee
essity of strikes.
To the administrative crowd here Mr..
Bryan was introduced by Congressman
Webb. He devoted his remarks mainly
to the recent Salisbury speech of Secre-
tary Shaw, following the same line of ar
gument that has been reported from other
points. Mrs. Bryan was entertained here
by the society ladies'.

S. Taylor North's Record.

IT is certainly some satisfaction to the
people Of jefferson county to know that
S. Taylor North's record as u Rep
resentative at the General Assembly at
Harrisburg is one that has been Il
benefit to the county. In all measures
that The people of Jefferson county
were interested in Mr.. North left
nothing undone in the discharge OF his
duties. He took especial interest in the
Legislative apportionment, whereby
Jefferson county gets two represent
atives, and will elect two for the
first time this fall. Whatever his pre-.
decessors might have done in trying to
get this measure through in the past,
great credit is due Mr.. North for the
way In which he stuck to this bill and
fought for it clear through to a success
| full finish, Then there is the eight-tour
law for the miners In which he took q
special interest. 1t is a law which the
miners fully appreciate. Also the
garbage" law the original bill for
which applied only to cities. but which
Mr.. North had amended to include
towns and t~ownship-a measure that
will surely be a benefit to every citizen of
this commonwealth interested in proper
hygenic conditions. Then there is the
District attorneys law, which changed
the charging fee system to a direct
salary. Mr.. North took an active in
terest in helping to pass this measure.

township high schools, and appropria-
tion for roads, whereby Jefferson county
gets SSl ,91S. 80. Then there was Farm
err Creasy's resolution endorsing Pres.
Roosevelt which Mr.. North voted for.
His loyal action in this matter at that
time called forth a letter of com
m%endation from Hon. S. B. Elliott, of
Reynoldsville, a verbatim copy of
which follows:

Hon. S. Taylor North,

My Dear Sir
Please permit me to thank you for
the manly, independent and upright
course you pursued in your vote to en-
dorse Pres't Roosevelt's persistence in
%denouncing congressional action in re-
gard to railroad rates. | am glad to
know we have a man representing us
who has convictions Of his own that
machine whips cannot drive out of him.
l have heard no criticisms but only
commentator of your course.
Wish great respect,
Yours truly,
