They Are Not Agreed as to
Who Should Be the Choice
For the Craftsmanship of the
Sixth District.
SOME ARE FOR JACKSON
AND OTHERS FOR HARRIS
The Anti-City Administration
Crowd Confident 1t Will Be
Able to Control the ConVen-
ton for Harris.

Democratic leaders IN Wayne cOun-
ty have split up on the question If
who will be supported by the county
delegation in the fight for the Sixth
district craftsmanship. In Richmond
the city administration crowd is in the
field for Stokes Jackson of Greenfield
who not only aspires to the district
Craftsmanship, but also the state chair
manship. Other democratic leaders in
this city and county are out for George
Harris of Fountain City. who for some
time has served his party we'll as coun-
ty chairman.
The anti-city administration crowd
in this city has been for the past week
working hard for Harris. and they are
confident that they will control the del
egation which will represent the coun
ty at the Cambridge City Convention
T. J. Study. Mayor Schillinger. B. b
Parry are at present working equally
hard for Jackson and they feel certain
that they will be able to swing the
county convention for their candidate
Just what object the Study faction OF
the party has in knirIng Harris. is not
generally known. Mr. Harris has z
large following all over the county and
his friends resent the tactics of the
city administration crowd. To man
up tree the efforts of this faction tc
have the county delegation instructed
for Jackson. will mean two things
the disruption of the party in this
county and victory for Harris at the
county convention.
Just what strength Harris would
have outside Wayne county is not
known. Jackson has workers in all
the counties in the district and at the
present time he appears to have a
cinch on the district craftsmanship.

ARMY "SHOW POSTS. The War Department
will make an effort this year to obtain from Con-
gress an appropriation which can be used upon
authority of the Secretary of War at the military
posts which visited by distinguished foreign
American visitors. AT present, whenever such
places as the Military Academy, Fort Riley, Fort
Leavenworth, the Preside of San Francisco or
Governors Island New York Harbor, are visited
by foreign military representatives. the entertain
rnent must be provided by the commanding officer
or his associates. Sometimes when the visiting
party is a large one the luncheon dinner served
operates tax upon the host. This form of
hospitality has grown in years with the in
crease in the number of foreign officers. from
China and Japan, who have made tours of inspec-
ton Of the United States. 1t has reached such
proportions that army officers who have nothing
beyond their salaries regard it hardship
when they are assigned to prominent military
commands where there are likely to be any obliga-
tions in the way of official entertainment. 1t
from discharging these obligations of hospitality,
and it is considered only fair that the War De
partment should have a contingent fund which
may be drawn upon for this purpose. The fact
that the War Department is going to make a spe-
cial effort to obtain an allotment from Congress
will be received with approval by the army officers
in whose behalf the legislative relief is invoked
