SECRET ROLL OF

Senator Reed Tells of a
Mysterious Organization
Down in SuSSSx
Special to The Evening Journal.

DOVER, June 12.-That the liquor
forces are making a secret roll OF
down-state voters VINO will vote TO
continue the license system was the
surprising statement made by Senator
S. Edward Reed. of Glendale. the
well-known Republican and Methodist,
while here yesterday. He came to
Dover to attend a meeting Of the
Dover district stewards Of the Meth
odist Church.
Senator Reed said. I'm the general
discussion over the local option reso-
luton. adopted by the stewards that
he had only enough political exper-
ience to teach him to search dill
gently for what the other fellow had
'up his sleeve"
He had, therefore. learned that sus-
sex county has secret society known
or said to be known as the Sons )f
the Veterans Of Delaware, which had
for its object the pledging, silently,
Of voters to support license" at tie
November elections.
Senator Reed said he had made il
his business to get possession OF one
of these charter rolls" and found that
the one for Seaford district alone con-
tanned the names Of 1Sf voters. All
this massing Of voters for whisky, hc
said. could be overcome by vigorous
and continuous work on the part OF
the church and temperance forces.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-One OF
the highest officials Of the government
is authority for the statement that
there is no dispute between Japan and
the United States. and that the two
governments are as friendly now as
they ever were. The only grounds for
the appearance Of trouble, he says, are
the jingoistic speeches OF political
demagogues in Japan, and the sensa-
uonal and distorted statements in
some Of the American papers. The
japanese Government has conducted
itself in a friendly manner through all
the correspondence that has passed. In
regard to the occurrences in San Fran
cisco, and is apparently sincerely de-
sirous Of maintaining the good viii Of
the United States.
okumai lingo
Count Okumai, the leader Of the Pro-
gressive party which is trying to oust
the administration from office, Is a
jingo Of the fire-eating type. Asia
for the Asiatics Is one Of his tenets OF
faith. He established a college Just
outside Of Toxic some years ago. and
there taught his doctrines to the youths
who attended.
Then, like the disciples Of old. he
sent them out to spread his ideas
broadcast, with the result that he now
has a considerable following.
No Serious War Thought
II is not believed that even he seri-
ously entertaas the idea Of war with
the United States over the compara-
lively trivial questions at issue be-
tween the two countries. but he and his
followers find it a convenient method
.of attacking the government by charg-
ing it with supineness in the face OF
the great American republic. and blow
ing about what they would do If they
were in Office. Jingoism is attractive
70 some people In Japan just as Il is
here.
But the real powers In Japan. in
cluding practically all of the elder
statesmen, recognize that they would
be undertaking a tremendously big job
IL they were TO make Uncle Sam real
