Orders have been issued to the officers
of the regiment of High School Cadets
allowing the cadets to wear lighter clothes
and permitting them to go without the

the complaints of parents of the cadets

advocate next year the cadets have blue

out coats in hot weather. 1t is believed
this suggestion will be adopted.
The condition of the two cadets. Stanley

Frustrated in the parade. is reported to-
day as improved. Mrs Johnson said that
her son would not be able to enter the
regiment again. and that his illness had
seriously interfered with the completion

efficient remedies given to her son at the
Casualty Hospital she ascribes his re-
covery.
Capt. Oyster. on whose recommendation

was done as a compliment to the War

WOULD UNITE THE FACTIONS
CHARLES A. DARR DEPLORES
LOCAL DEMOCRATIC DISCORD.
Banquet of One Set of Delegates and
Alternates to the Denver
Convention.

The necessity of peace and harmony IN
the ranks of the democratic party in the
District of Columbia was the sentiment
expressed at banquet at the Queen care
last night of the recently elected dele
gates and alternates of the Carr-Darr
faction to the Denver democratic conven-
ton. The occasion was in celebration of
their election.
Charles A. Darr was POSTMASTER. In
spirited address Mr.. Darr empha sized the
Importance of the union of the two local
factions. Little will be accomplished in
the future. he said if this is not effected
1T Is with pride and qualification that
can say our faction has thus far made all
the overtures for buryine the Ratchet but
the other faction has seen fit to refuse.
Mr.. Darr continued. They claim we are
not regular; but in that they are wrong.
because we are Just as regular as the
other faction. if not more so. and when
they see us seated in the Denver conven-
ton they viii realize It and will lose no
time IN coming around to our way OF
thinking. After the Denver convention
sincerely hope we will he able to cement
the party here. We polled a larger vote
at our primaries than they did. and. fur
thermore. we widely advertised the fact
that the election was to be held. The
other party did little advertising. They
decided to send their delegates instructed.
We did not. We will go as free American
citizens. clothed with power to use our
discretion and good judgment to select
the man who we think is hest suited for
the presidential nomina tion.
He declared that it is unAmerican and
undemocratic to go instructed. Thus
far we have carried out all the funda
mental principles of the party. and the
other local faction has not even the ear
marks of democracy he maintained.
That there are only two democratic pos
slbllltleS-Bryan and JohnSon-and that
either. of them can defeat Taft, who. he
said. Is already nominated was the opin-
ion expressed by John Brinkman of the
Central Labor Union, a guest at the ban
quet. Others who spoke were julius Pey
ser. NJ. +. Lynch. Harry Hayden. John
