Campaign Issues Outlined by the
 Permanent Chairman.
DEMOCRATIC IDEAS POPULAR

They Have Even Been Adopted by the
 Republicans, the Chairman Declares.
 What Grover Cleveland Did For La-
 bor-Federal Usurpation of Power.
 Representative Henry D. Clayton of Alabama, permanent chairman of the Democratic national convention, deliy- cred the following address,:
 "Mr. Chairman and Fellow Demo crats-Let me thank you for the honor you have conferred upon me. This is a Democratic year, and Democratic ideas are now popular. Doctrines al ways taught by our party and scoff,,d at by our opponents are now urged as a gospel of their own. Measures and policies of Democrat origin are now advocated by the leaders of the Re publican party. It is no longer an- archistic to declare private monopoly to be indefensible or that the great transportation companies should be regulated and controlled by public law. A demand for the revision of the tariff is no longer threat to destroy our in- dustrial system. Trusts are not to be tolerated even by the Republican party We need not now enlarge on the list of Republican admissions and promises for election purposes only. The Republican party has made mark ed progress in promises to the people and much greater progress in aiding selfish interests and special privileges. That party. guided by expediency and campaign necessity, would camp this year on Democratic grounds. It is ap- uarent that if recent nrooress is to con

CHOKED BY TEETH.

Knew She Had Swallowed Them, In- dignant When Found She Hadn't.
 A loud peal at the door bell of Dr Daniel Mcclure of Tompkinsville brought him to a front window in his night dress early yesterday morning.
 Harry Wagner of New Brighton was dancing in the moonlight on the lawn.
 Tn fiumanity's name, Doctor, be quick. Mrs Wagner has swallowed her tech and Is fast choking to death. The teeth are in her throat and won't go up or down."
 Dr Mcclure sprang into his trous- CTS, then into his automobile, and he and Wagner raced to Mrs Wag- ner's bedside. When they got there two physicians from he s. R.. Smith infirmary were working over her. and, although she was black in the face from choking, she was tell ing them she wanted her own doc tor.
 Dr Mcclure, after hasty exam ination, failed to find anything in her throat. so had her taken in an ambulance to St Vincent's hospital, where she was laid on an operating table and given chloroform.
 Three doctors got together and used first a probe and then the X-rays. Nothing showed. Mrs Wagner even in her unconscious state still exhibited convulsions of the throat although after all the probing and prospecting there was no sign of the swallowed teeth.
 Finally it was decided that an op- eration must be performed; but, as a precautionary measure, hospital orderly was sent 10 the Wagner home to see if there were any false teeth lying around there.
 Within half an hour, during which Mrs Wagner went into mysteries twice, the man came back.
 He laid a set of teeth on the ta- ble.
 They were under the lady's bed; she doubtless dropped them out while sleeping"
 Mrs Wagner literally rose from the operating table in wrath.
 Gimme those teeth!"
 But alas. against Mrs Wagner's firmest conviction, they fitted to al nicety and she had to acknowledge that they were hers. But she had the last word on her husband.
 'iwhy didn't you look under the bed before stirring up all this fuss?" New York World.

 Wash your floors with Fels-Naptha, it whitens as well as cleans them. l. will take dirt off vanished surfaces without dulling the varnish; brighten dingy paint and bring out the colors in oilcioth and linoleum.

strenuosity, and at the same time has not perturbed the conscience of the one time civil service reformer, now the boss; an adept in the bestowal of advice to the public and forgetful of all his resounding moral common places. No fair minded American could read the daily acts of the recent political doings at Chicago without feeling modification and regret; morti- f1cation that the president should have so abused his power in dictating to a great party his cnurce of a successor and regret that the party should have submitted so cowardly to 6 humiliation that was as manifest as 1t was de- grading
 Campaign Contributions.
 Mir. Clayton called attention to the failure of the Republican convention to insert pla2k forbidding campaign contributions and quoted President Rooscvelt's condemnation of the prac- tice in his message of December, 1906. lnjunctions and contempts of court were treated vigorously and several quotations from the message of Presi- dent Roosevelt were given to show that the president had abandoned Ct the Chicago convention the policies he had vigorously urged in his message, adding:
 Ut is important to note that the act of June ?. 1886, was passed at the first session of the first congress that met under the first Democratic administra- tion after the civil war, and there la bor received its first recognition from the government. One Republican ad- ministration has succeeded another for twenty-four years and not an act was passed in the interest of labor or in acknowledgment of its right to fair and equal treatment. The, Republic ans enacted a tariff which enhanced the price of products that labor had made and capital owned, and they pretended to do this with a view of securing for labor higher wages. What they gave, however, was to the capi- talist, and they trusted him to divide. That the increased profits of protected employers have made them able to pay the laboring man higher wages no one can doubt, but it remains for the saving grace of Almighty God so to touch their hearts as to make them willing to pay the fair wages.
 Among the contributions that went to make up the monument that this great man Grover Cleveland builded in the respect and affection of his countrymen few are more striking than his almost instant recognition, as evidenced by this act of 1886, of the sane and just demands of labor on the lawmaking power. Under him Democ- racy blazed the way and remains the untiinching champion of every sound reform in this direction.
 "The president and his party de- clare that a prediction revision of the tariff would be unwise' This as- sertion has been read in advance of every election since the enactment of the Dinghy law, and surely the coun- try will not again be deceived by Re- publican promises to revise the tariff 1 after the election. Their appeal to the people is this: Give us another chance l to make you promise l

 Republican Responsibility.
 The Republican party. having had tull control of the federal government for more than a decade. must give an account of its stewardship. Its pre- sentious claims. largely without foun- aation and largely exaggerated. will pot suffice. Let h rest investigation reveal the bad and defective laws passed by that party. vicious policies maintained, reforms rejected. the re rent panic and it's consequence. prom. lses broken. d'ssimulation practiced. lncompetency confessed by its failure to meet urgent public needs. and ex- hibiting this incompetency by the ap- pointment of iunketing commissions for the alleged purpose of advising that party so long in control and ot such boasted legislative wisdom what legislation is required by the country. Against the Republican party. so de- generate and crafty. is a capable. de termined. honest Democracy. in sym. pathy with a. just public demands and confidently asking in it's behalf the candid public judgment.

 Wy Policies"
 In this gusdrennial contest Mr. Roosevelt has identified himself with Mir Taft. Mfr. Taft has identified him self with Mir Roosevelt. The Rpnub- lican party hls inspparahly identified the two together. To praise one ron must praise the other: to critirise one Is to cTiticise his pursuing shadow. And so. must say. if fl should appear to any one that in noting and de nouneing abuses and failures on the part Of the present adminiftratinn any license is assumed. urge the imnos- sibility of separating the present oc- cupant of the White House from his own anointed one.

What Does Protectionism Mean?

Under the Republican policy of pro-
 lection the people, the consumers,
 while paying a little over S300.000.0OO
 per year into the treasury through im-
 port duties of foreign goods. pay be-
 tween S1 250. .000. GOO and S1. 300. GOO GOO a year in the enhanced price of home
 produced goods. Our domestic manu- factures exceed our total imports by ten to one. and they are nearly all pro. tected. It Is safe to say that the people pay at least five dollars to the already wealthy benohciaries of protectionism for every dollar that is paid into the treasury. Behind the wall of high pro- lection, which in some cases is alto gether prohihitive, the trusts levy enor- nous tribute on the people. This to not less than S10.n0o. .nOO.- 000 in the last decade. not counting the amount paid to support the govern. ment. This money has come from the pockets of tl' farmer mechanic. mer chant. professional man and the labnrer. and has been poured into the cnffers of the protected classes. More than two- thirds of the capital that derives ben. eft from protectionism belongs to the trusts. The Democrats will re. wise the tariff downward and in the interest of tho taxpayers. who are al. ways forgotten by the Republican party. There must he a revision and a gradual reduction of the tariff by the friends of tariff reduction for the com mon good and not by the benefciaries If it's abuses, who justify Use of the impost taxing bower for the chief pur. pose of conferrfng privilege and profit upon the few at the expense of the many

LIGHTING COMPANY
WAR At CHURCH
NOT YET OVER
Attempt Is Being Made to Ad-
lust Differences Between
Rival Concerns.

The triangular fight over electric
wires between the Halsey Street M. e.
Church, the Public Service Corpora
ton and the Arcade Block Lighting
Company, may be adjusted or started
anew at any time.
Frederick G. G~reenberg, president OF
the Arcade concern, said today;
1.-THE removal of the pipe for our
wires on the property of the Halsey
Street Church late yesterday was SIM
ply due to a misunderstanding between
US and the trustees of the church. That
has all been fixed now, and we are
going to lay the pipe and wires again"
An official of the Public Service said
when told of Greenberg's statement
h a the Public Service would not
stand for it."
1.-THE Arcade Company" he said
"laid the pipe and wires on private
property, where they had no right to,
and the church gave US permission to
take up the pipe"
John p. Contrell, president of the
board OF trustees of the church, made
the following statement:
1.-THE laying of the pipe was an act
of piracy. The Arcade people had no
right to use our property for he pur-
pose of distributing current. and we
objected. We had a contract with them
for the lighting of the church, but we
do not propose to be used for private
purposes.
"When we discovered that the Arcade
Company was using our property we
gave them until election day TO take up
the pipe. When this was not done
we asked the Public Service to take
1t up, which they did"
The gang of men sent by the Public
Service was met by a gang from the
rival concern, whose efforts to prevent
the tearing up of the pipe would have
resulted in q fight but for police inter-
ference

After the regular rehearsals last night
the members of the Orpheus Lieder-

That this was most successfully done
made evident by the fact that the
