Their Policies Growing In Favor, While
Republicans Arc Waning.
JERSEY CITY, N. j., February e.
An enthusiastic reception was accord
ed William j. Bryan at the Majestic
Theatre this afternoon. He was intro.
duced as the next President Of tho
United States. which evoked applause
from the large audience.
The keynote OF Mr.. Bryan's speech
was that Democratic principles are
growing stronger. while those OF the
Republican party are weakening. AZ
ter the speech at the Majestic. he ad
dressed the Womuns Club and late,.
left for passaic
Mr.. Bryan. in his speech at the Ma.
jestic. said In part:
To-day the Democratic party pre-
sents united front, and is more har-
monious than have ever known.i, TO
be. Travelling from one State to another
find everywhere that Democrats are
ready to fight for pure Democracy.
Why is 1t that our party enters into
this fight with the spirit that It does !:
It is because time has vindicated the
attitude of the Democratic party. The
Democratic party has foreseen our
danger and pointed out the remedy.
Our opponents are always talking about
complicated questions OF government.
InOmdS Jefferson, tne IOunderf OF the
Democratic party, said the art OF gov
ernment was the art Of being honest.
This government Is run In the In
terest of predatory wealth and in the
interest OF few people. II we start
with the proposition that the OBJ
ject OF the government is to secure
equal rights for all. you will find that
these propositions have been crystal
lized in the Democratic principles OF
equal rights for all and special privl-
lcges to none. In eleven years OF COM
plete power, tho Republican party,
aided by all circumstances, has not
strengthened one Republican policy.
Every Democratic policy IS stronger
now than 1t ever was. Every Republic
can President must fight his party In
the defense Of Democratic ideas.
The attitude OF the Democratic party
the speaker declared mas been vindi.
Gated by the country's experience with
the railroads. my work to the end
OF my life," he added. Shall be devoted
to the returning Of this government to
the people from whom It. has been
4 ldespoiled."

LAUDS WORK OF
LUTHER BURBANK
Prof. E. j. WicksOn Declares
Noted Plant Wizard Is Max

HOrticuIturist Declares Improve
ment in Vegetable Kingdom
Will Assure Worlds Food

BERKELEY, July 2S.-That Luther
Burbank, the horticultural scientist Of
Santa Rosa, was doing a nObler work
than ever before was the statement
made by Professor E. j. WicksOn, dean
of the college of agriculture of the
university, who lectured in Hearst hall
last night on the well known wizard
of plant life. He said:
'Pessfmists say that the world Will
starve. Burbank says that the world
will wax fat and kick like Jeshurun
because so many plants can be i'm
proved and trained to environment.
Which is right? A thousand years will
tell"
Professor wickson. who is intimate
ly acquainted with Burbank, declared
that it was only through the aid of
the Carnegie endowment fund that
Burbank could perform a great work
for the world. as he would not other
wise have the time to devote TO his
manifold experiments in plant life

GOVERNMENT AFTER
THE STANDARD OIL

LENOX, Mass, July 2S.-Plans for
another great battle in the courts with
representatives of the Standard oil COM
pany will be worked out here in the
Berkshire hills within the next few
days.
Under the direction of Attorney Gen.
eral Bonaparte, who is passing his va
cation in Lenox, the first move in the
new action, which, it is understood, is
to be brought by the government
against the Standard oil company, will
be made here and the machinery of the
department of justice set in motion.
This action, following the recent de-
cision of the United States court of ap-
peals at Chicago setting aside the judg-
rnent of s29,240,000 returned by Judge
Landis against the company, indicates
that the announced intention of the
administration to renew the proceed
ings is to be carried out promptly
Mr.. Bonaparte will be joined by Frank
B. Kellogg of Minneapolis, whose con-
duct of antitrust cases for the govern
ment brought him national renown, and
they will review the present legal
status of the case and discusss the de-
tails of further action.
For assistance they will have the
services of half a score of trained legal
experts in the department of Justice in
Washington.

Then the city fathers held a whis-

cided on some practical means of catch

RULERS MEET AT
FAREWELL BANQUET

REVAL. July 2S.-The visit of NJ.
Fallieres terminated tonight with a
state banquet on the French battleship
Verfte, after which the emperor bade
farewell to the president of France
and his suite. The French squadron
then weighed anchor and departed for
Christiania.
According to NJ. Iswolsky, the con-
ferences between the rulers and the
diplomatic representatives of Russia
and France covered the general range
of European politics. A complete un-
derstanding concerning the problems
in which the two nations are Jointly
concerned was reached, as well as with
regard to questions arising out of the
situation in Persia and Morocco which
are considered within the special sphere
of either of the allies.
The keynote of the addresses, upon
the exchange of toasts at the banquet,
was the desire of both France and
Russia to maintain the general peace
of the world and the equilibrium of
Europe.
The usual distribution of decorations
and presents took place. The emperor
presented snuff boxes to M. Pichon and
Admiral Touchard. the ambassador to
Russia. President Fallieres presented
a pair of vases to the empress and
delighted the imperial children with
two chests of beautiful French toys.

PROF. CLARK WILL
RESIGN MAYORALTY
Champion of Prohibition Move
ment in Mayfield Will
Retire From Office
Enemies Say Action Is Caused
by Defeat of Ordinance: In
structOr Declares Otherwise

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, July 2S.
Professor A. B. Clark of the student
affairs committee today stated that the
last clause in the circular letters which
We're issued yesterday to all students
who registered last year was to be
reads as follows: 1.-The university
assumes that the act of registering i'm
plies full acceptance of this ruling"
The drinking question assumed new
aspect last night when the town of
Mayfield voted the hotel liquor license
TO K. A. Stevens of the Mayfield inn
Now it is felt by the prohibition ele-
ment that the fight of the last four
years has been for nothing. The pro-
htbition element led by Professor
Clark feels, that it will be almost
impossible to. enforce the policy
of the student affairs committee on
the campus with Mayfield's back door
wide open to allow the sale of liquor.
1t is charged very openly that one Of
the trustees was unduly Influenced to
vote for the license on the ground of
financial gain. The party in favor of
the license charge on the other hand
that Professor Clark has made arbi-
trary use of his power ever since he
has been mayor of Mayfeld.
On the top of all this turmoil comes
the startling announcement that Pro-
fessor Clark is about to resign his po-
sition as mayor of Mayfeld. Many
conjectures are afloat as TO the reason
for this. The theory advanced by his
enemies is that he cannot stand the
defeat and so has decided to leave the
field of battle. Professor Clark's
friends, however, say that he desires
TO put his three children in the school
on the campus, and that, with that idea
in view, he has purchased a lot on the
campus close to the fraternities and
that he will move up as soon as the
house is erected. The students on the
campus have an altogether different
idea than either of the preceding; they
believe that Clark is to move to the top
of the hill in proximity to fra
ternity row so that he may spy any
infringement of the late ordinances.
Professor Clark, when asked if the
report that he was going to resign as
mayor and move TO the campus was
true or not, said: Yes, it is true but
for none of the reasons advanced by
either my friends or my enemies. You
must remember that l have been an art
teacher for a much greater portion of
my life than have either been chair
man of the student affafrs committee
or mayor Of Mayfeld, and one of my
dearest wishes has always been to live.
upon the hill top where the breezes
blow and the view is beautiful
Whatever the reasons actuating Clark
may be it is certain that his house is
for sale and that he is to move shortly
to the campus, resigning his position
of mayor of Mayfield The jubilation
in the ranks of those who upheld the
hotel liquor license is no more marked
than the sorrow of the prohibition peo-
pie when they consider the loss of their
champion.
