-EOCldllC llOllllUee lOI OldlS IedS-
ar, John G.. Harman-or, rather,
series of speeches to which he was
aroused in the course of memora-
BILE debate-is regarded by the
Democratic leaders as sufficient to
prove his eminent worthiness to be
the successor of State Treasurer
Berry. Although the Democratic
nominee is less than IS years of
age, his achievements have made
him an influential leader Of his par
ty. He was the most eloquent
Democrat in the State House of
Representatives during his service
therein, which was in the regular
session of 1905 and the extraordi-
nary session of 1906. He was in
variably called upon by his fellow
Democrats whenever strong argu-
ment, from legal standpoint or
otherwise, was wanted for their
side.
Mr.. Harman made many notable
speeches in the House, but his most
effective one defeated the Machine
purpose to divide the States sur
plus funds, under the new law S
plan, among banks and trust COM
panies favored by the Organization,
before Mr.. Berry could be installed
as State Treasurer. The speech or
speeches of Mr.. Harman on that
occasion are to serve a good pur-
pose in the approaching campaign.
AS result of the conference of
Democratic State leaders in Harris
burg on Friday, it is announced
that there will be a good deal to
tell the people in addition to the
comment which the Democratic
speakers will make upon the prose-
cutions of the Capitol plunderers.
Although the Democratic State
platform has made the Capitol rev.
elations the one great issue, it is to
be shown that the candidate for
Berry's place is an issue in himself.
Mr.. Berry, who is to accompany
Mr.. Harman on the speaking tour
Of the State, will find in Harman' S
record prolific source of facts to
prove that the right sort of man to
maintain the good work begun by
the present Treasurer is the party's
standard-bearer in this campaign.

WILL PUT UP A FIGHT
Proprietors of Bucket Shops
Will Not Quit Voluntarily.
SITUATION AT COLUMBUS.

Proprietors of local bucket shops df
field by the new bucket shop law; at
least they will put up a stiff fight
before they will consent to abandon
their business. The new law is go
ing to have opposition all over the
state and it seems TO be the impress
sion that the measure is very loosely
constructed and that there will be
enough flaws found in it to render
the law useless.
A dispatch from Columbus, Ind,
prints the following on the fight that
is to be made in that city on the
law
A representative of the Celia COM
mission company. of st. Louis, has
come here to try to reopen the bucket
shop closed by Baker S. Ruddick, local
representative of the ST Louis COM
pany, the first of the week. The st.
Louis man says his employers are not
going to pay any attention to the law
against bucket shops passed by the
legislature. He says the law will not
reach the branch shops of the Celia
company. or at least not enough to put
them out of business. He denies that
the branch here is a bucket shop in
the strict sense of the word and be-
lieves his people will be able to con-
tinue all their branches in this state.
The branch here received grain and
stock quotations from Chicago and
New York and local patrons of the
shop bought and sold on margins.
The Celia representative says that
the local agent of the company acts
as the agent of his own clients and
that no law has yet been passed which
will stop this business.

mo ADVANCE IN COAL
Action Just Announced by the Rail-
roads Will Prove of Benefit to
the Entire State.

Indianapolis, March 21.-Word was
received at the Office of the railroad
commission that the order for an adj
vance of 10 cents ton in the coal
rates from the entire Indiana and
part of Illinois coal fields into Chicago
and the northwest territory, which
was to have become effective April l..
had been rescinded. No. advance will
be made.
Not only is this important to the
coal men as applying to the Chicago
and northwestern territory shipments,
but indirectly it affects the coal rate
all over the state, especially to the
gas belt, for the understanding was
that this ten cents advance to Chica-
go was to be the forerunner of a gen
eral advance in the middle west and
the rate to the gas belt was 10 be
boosted next.

his past reputation SO much as it was
because President Roosevelt, on being

for the grower of the flower that he
might express his appreciation for
their beauty and color.
The Richmond rose was pronounced
the most beautiful flower at the meet
ing, and it was thus it was selected as
the flower which should be presented
to the president when he invited the
rose growers to attend a luncheon and
reception at the white house.
Said He Was "Dee-Iighted."
When the boquet was presented,
President Roosevelt went into costa

much. Using his fayorite word. Dee
lighted" the president then asked for
Mr.. Hill and expressed his appreciation
for the beauty of the flowers. He
then asked Mr. Hills home. and when
told it was Richmond. Roosevelt was
.'Dee-lighted'' again, and inquired of
his friends in this city and those whom
he has had under his jurisdiction and
connected with the government ser

The meeting was a success in every
way, and only the greatest of the lau
rels fell to the Richmond grower. He
is now touring through the East and
will not return to this city for several
