FIGHT IS ON
Johnson Creates Excitement
by Proposed Address 10
the People Of Ohio.

COLUMBUS, o.. May 5-The DEM
ocratic leaders today are locking
horns over the platform. There Is
little or no opposition to the plank
indorsing w. ]. Bryan for president
but Mayor Johnson Is making things
lively by demanding that an Nnitia-
tive and Referendum plank 80 into
the platform. So
One faction led by State OIL In
spector Finley. is not out in the open
against this proposition, hut II is
claimed they win likely kill 1t as their
candidate Judson Harmon, Is de-,
elared not to be in favor of It.
II was announced today there
would be nothing said in the plat
form on the temperance issue. E
The committee does not get to-
gethef to consider the platform un-
til 4 o'clock this afternoon.
johnson Is also fighting for a fran
chise tax plank and a plank demands
ing that the state taxing board be
abolished.
A sensation was created today by.
the report that Tom. L. johnson had
prepared an address to the people OF
Ohio, which is to be given out this
afternoon or night saying that Har-
mons candidacy for governor Is
trap set by Bryan's enemies.
Johnson admitted that he prepared
the address, In addition he saId the
Harmon movement IS al foolish att
tempt ion the part Of tie liquor In
terests 'of Ohio. 70 plaster whiskeS
label all over the Democratic party
and sidetraciS all other important Is
sues.
In addition to the temperance is--
sue an attack was also made upon
Harmon by the labor interests.
The fight for the control of the
state organization Of the Democratic
party was decided at district meet
lngs held at 2 O'clock and before they
went into session. Admission came
from men close to Johnson that the
Finley CARRIER men would win out and
that the best johnson was looking
for was the control OF FIVE Of the
twenty one districts. An actual count
of noses at Johnson's Headquarters
Tuesday. morning showed that John
son had 327 votes. This count shows
that the Finley CARRIER men were not
far in the wrong when they claimed
200 Of the 946 for Harmon.

CHANGERS TALK
OF ASPARAGUS
B. M. Cain Makes Interesting
Address About the Gull
tiVatiOR Of This Crop

Following a decision to incorporate
the New Castle County Grange and af-
terward sell stock to the members in
order to insure its permanency and so
that the fairs Of the organization can
be held annually from the funds OF
the Grange. the following announce
ment has been issued by the menu
bers:
Each fair has been made self-sup-
porting. but until 1906 the receipts were
only sufficient to meet the expenses. In
1907. a surplus of several hundred dol
lars remained over and is held by the
committee to meet future con-
tingencies. This fact. together with ITS
past successes. encourages the commit
tee to propose a permanent organiza-
tion that win conduct the fairs here
after. The best way to accomplish
this. as all win readily see. is to form
a corporation to be known as the New
0dolie OouHta II All <tcooCidllOlis VI ny
some other Appropriate title.
"Such an association as is proposed
should have a permanent fund of at
least $4,000. 1t has been suggested that
stock to that amount be issued at S. q
share. full paid worcestershire, and
that an the funds of the association be
invested in good intercst-bearing Sc
curities. The policy of making each
fair bear its own expenses viii be con-
tinued. and It is hoped that, as in 190t
and 1907. so in 1908 and succeeding
years. there will be a small balance
remaining after the payment Of all ex-
penses.
Competent persons who have given
considerable study to this matter arc
persuaded that. under the plan pro-
posed and with a repetition of past sue
cess. the stock OF the fair association
can soon be made dividend paying. and
that the investment win result in q
good return.
"As the whole fair movement is q
child Of Pomona Grange. the commit
tee felt anxious to have as many mem
bers OF the grange hold stock in this
company, as cared to. and therefore
will not offer stock to any except
grange members uD TO and including
April 20. After that date the un-
subscribed stock viii be offered to tn,
general public"

PREACHERS NEED
BETTER PAY
Address by DR.. Kellogg at the
Meeting Of the Methodist
Association To-day

"The Obligation OF Our Church TO
Her Retired Ministers" was the subject
Of a paper by the Rev. DR.. Hiram X.
Kellogg. Of Grace M. f. Church. at the
weekly meeting Of the NJ. e. Preachers
Association in Union Church this
morning that aroused much discussion
and resulted in the appointment Of a
committee to bring about its publica-
tion and distribution among the
Methodist clergy and laity.
At the last session Of the Wilmington
Conference the meeting appointed for
the retired ministers of the conference
was omitted on account OF Bishop
Goodsells call 20 attend the funeral OF
Bishop Fowler In New York In a
resolution passed by conference. DIR.
Kellogg was asked to publish the ad-
dress that was to have been made on
that occasion so that 1t might aid IN
the work of raising the proposed en-
dowment fund for this cause
DR.. Keliogg's plea for more feason-
able salaries for Methodist preachers
and better PROSPECTS for their old age
was insistent The paper brought
strong approval from Presiding Elder
Mowbray who regretted that Metho-
dists heretofore had neglected TO make
the movement for better care OF Meth
odist retired ministers church-wide.
The following committee was ap-
pointed TO have the paper published
in order as far as possible to bring the
subject before all Methodists with a
view Of enecting an organization for
the purpose Of bringing it ultimately
before the General Conference. Pre-
siding Elder A. s. Mowbray. chairman;
the Rev. r. x. Stevenson and the Rev.
George White Dawson.
After enumerating the requirements
imposed upon the minister by the
church. DR.. Kellogg asid in part:
Whether social. intellectual or re-
ligious they all cost money and the
church will not tolerate that man who
cannot bring Them 20 tho community IN
which he ministers. The ideals of to-
day are far more than the ideals OF
the days of our fathers. The old
1onation party is of the past. ] urge
that the demand made upon the min
istry by the church Is such that Il
necessitates. perhaps unconsciously, an
expensive life without the opportunity
to supply that life
''God has planted in every normally
righteous man a very instinct to dread
a future want. The strength Of this
fear is a passion that pushes men into
desperate work and struggle The
dread of want in old age The fear
that dear ones may suffer. Remove
this from the ministry by a promise
] of fair support in old age and you at
once remove a heavy weight from the
mind and the greatest temptation.
Ministers are not greedy men. THIS
must be true or they would never seek
the profession. They are human and
the church sfou1d understand"
