CONNOLLY-BURNS FACTION
IN TUG-OF-WAR WITH THE
HAMPTON-WEADOCK CROWD

LANSING. Mich, May 20.-(Spe-
cial. democrats from all parts Of
Michigan began gathering here Tues
day morning and every train brought
additions TO the convention crowd. BY
6 o'clock the hotel corridors were
crowded and there was that 'muffled
roar" OF many voices that is peculiar
to such gatherings.
Among the first arrivals were State
Chairman John T. Winship. Of Sag
NAV, and A. r. Canfield OF Glare, sec
rotary Of the state central commit
tee. National Committeeman Daniel
j. Campau was on the scene before
noon and had opened Bryan head
quarters. Chas. T. wilkins came with
him from Detroit.
Fight on Seating Delegation.
With the coming OF a number of
the Wayne county leaders of both fac
tons in the afternoon, the battle
really began. From the temper of the
early arrivals II was plain that the
battle would not be on Bryan instruc-
tions. the Johnson men having prac-
tically given up. but on the seating of
a Wayne delegation. Judge Connolly.
Edwin Henderson, T. E Tarsney,
Sheriff J. d. Burns and other anti
Campau men circulated among the
delegates from other counties and
strove to win adherents. while Chas
S. Hampton, Maj Winans, I. A. E.
Weadock and others worked the other
way
Soon the Downey house lobby was
Allied with knots OF men debating the
question OF seating the Campau dele
cation or the opposition. Very little
else was talked OF
AS early as 6 o'clock. the Connolly
faction was claiming seven out OF the
IL members OF the committee on ere

The Potency of Bryan.


Bryan in the garb OF the citizen has
been as potent for the country's good
as Roosevelt in the robes OF state The
Democratic party in defeat has been
as powerful as the Republican party In
victory.
This body was presided over by q
member OF the Michigan delegation In
congress whose best known character
istic is that he would rather make an
epigrdm than state a truth at any time.
He made speech in which he pro-
fessed TO take great pride In the rec
ord OF mis- party In state and nation
during the past four years. He wasn't
very specific. He didn't tell us wheth-
err he got most satisfaction out or the
enactment or the repeal OF limit liza
bility Jaw Whether his Joy was
greatest when they passed the change
Of venue law and the Galbraith bill.
or when they did away with them.

against general primary law and

Prohibition in Doubt.

Muskogee. Ok, Nov. 81. Already
plans are making for a reSubmis-
sion to the people of the question
whether prohibition shall remain in
the Constitution of Oklahoma or
whether the Constitution shall be
amended so as to permit local OPP
ton.
This movement has started i'm
mediately after the overwhelming
defeat of the dispensary system,
which was submitted to a vote at
the last election, and the unexpect-
ed feature of it is that the move
ment comes from men who are not
politicians nor in the past have
been identified, either with the sa-
loon interests or the prohibition
movement.

Broken Shafts.

Saturday, afternoon when one
saw a line of hose across North
Main street and leading to the First
Baptist church and heard the fire
engine pumping, was, the Baptists
have gotten too close to the fire
and called out the fire department
to save them. But such was not
the case, they were washing out
the baptistry and refilling it prepar-
atory to immersing eleven candi-
dates Saturday night.
The officers would not permit
Layson Tooley, R. F. D. carrier to
drive over the hose, so he hitched
his horse to a tree and that was
when the fun commenced. When
the nozzle was taken out of the
boptistry and a big stream of water
shot into the street, the horse rear
ed and went around that tree like a
cat. When his feet struck the
smooth cement walk, they went
from under him and he went down,
breaking a shaft.

DANGER to a Democracy.

On the question of Imperialism it
is the Democratic party which
stands on solid ground. The funda-
mental principle in the American
system lies in the declaration that
government has no right to exist
save by the free consent of the gov
erned. That principle is violated
when American rule is forced upon
the Philippines against the will of
the people of the islands. More
over it is but a step from justifying
the exercise of arbitrary power over
a dependency to a justification of
the same system at home. A ma
ton cannot continue which is half
slave and half free. The principle
of Democracy is endangered in the
place of its birth when the men who
administer the machinery created
by it are permitted to enforce arbi-
trary rule over conquered territory.
