Republicans figure that, with n full

ACCUSE SOCIETY,".

LONDON, Nov. 2.--The comfortable
classes OF England during the past
week had the condition OF England's
hordes OF hungry, voorhees, masses
violently brought TO their attention by
the demonstration OF the unemployed
before the houses OF parliament.
The distress among the Industrial
classes is reported almost as bad as
In the Hungry Forties. The govern
ment has not yet formulated any plan
Of relief. but Premier Asquith promises
one. Meanwhile the unemployed con-
tinue hungry.
To-night's official statistics show
that the poorhouses OF London alone
shelter 10000 paupers, while an
other 100. 900 receive scant supplies OF
food from parish authorities. Labor
union statisticians report ten per
cent of the skilled artisans OF Eng
land unemployed. In Lancashire 400
900 operatives In the cotton spinning
industries are voorhees, through strike
and lockout
Will Thorne. Socialist NJ. p. was
arrested yesterday for speech advis'
ing the unemployed hungry to loot the
bakeries, and Victor Grayson. another
Socialist M. p, has been suspended
by the speaker and debarred from az
tending the remaining sessions OF the
commons because ON the floor he
violently denounced parliament Tor
wasting time considering the excise
bill instead OF devising means to re-
lieve England's necessitous masses.
The church has been compelled to
notice the prevalent conditions OF dis
tress. Two bishops this week de-
nounced the wealthy classes OF Eng
land for their sloth and love OF luxury.
Bishop welldone said that the tend
ency today seems to be for people
to indulge themselves"
Society" he said. is becoming en-
feebled. men shrink from obligations
of citizenship and women avoid the
RESPONSIBILITIES OF maternity. Mar
riaee has lost or Is losing Its sancity.
Tho luxury of the rich is the ex-
PLANTATION OF the strong vindictlve
feeling lying behind Socialism. As
an old teacher deplore the evidences
of effeminacy among the sons or ricn
parents. sometimes think II would
be well for everybody to learn once
what IL is to be painfully hungry. then
we would feel more for our breadless
fellows"
Bishop Tucker also deplored the
evils of luxury
THE growth of luxury In London,
he said, lis becoming serious mat
ter. People are dissatisfied with the
ordinary comforts; they always want
q little more luxury than their neigh
bora. All classes seem pervaded with

HemanS Sentiment Grown
Like Rolling SNOWFALL

LANSING, Mich, Nov. 2.-That He
mans sentiment throughout the state
has grown like a rolling SNOWFALL ever
since the Democratic candidate for
governor started on his campaigning
trip through Michigan. Is evidenced by
the reports coming In from various
points.
Kent county may be slated at once
as undoubtedly in the Hemans col
umn. Grand Rapids. especially. Is In
imical to the Warner gang. Warner
never has been a favorite there and
there are indications that he will run
further behind than he did In 1904,
when Kent county gave Ferris plu-
rality Of 1854. although the county
Is normally Republican.
The Democrats claim Hemans will
carry Kent county by 5000.
Three out of eight pastors, In Ionia,
Sunday. read kilograms FROM the An
ti-Saloon league. favoring Hemans.
Dispatches from Jackson say that
Il is evident that Hemans will carry
the county by 1900. The sentiment
against q third term fci Warner Is
very pronounced. And yet Jackson
county is normally Republican by a
small majority.
The Bradley-Warner squabble and
the Glazier incident have done much
In Bay county to foster ill-feeling to-
ward Gov. Warner. A man prominent
in the Republican organization has an
nounced his intention Of boiling the
governor.
Monroe county and city contain a
large amount of Hemans sentiment.
Manistee county Is for Hemans In
spots-and pretty big spots at that.
Washtenaw county will go strong
for Taft. but Hemans Is morally Ger.
tain of carrying the county by fair.
sized majority. The anu-third term
sentiment Is sizzling hot
