Two years ago, in The prelininary

Mr.. Latta for the nomination for con-
gress on the democratic ticket Al.
though Mr.. Howard has not made .
formal announcement. that he would
be . candidate against Mr.. Latts this
year, yet it was generally understood,
when Mr.. Latta announced in aspeech
ut the North opera house in Columbus,
during. the campaign, that he would
not be . candidate for denomination,
but would gladly support Mr.. How
ard, that he meant what he said.
Evidently Mr.. Latta has changed his
mind and decided, like young Oliver
Twist, to ask for more. And the fight
is now on, and Mr.. Howard has served
notice on Mr.. Latta that he "reviae
his program for denomination and
revise it pretty quick" Just what
Latta will do in revising his present
plans is predetermined. The demand
of Mr.. Howard will probably be re-
ferred to Dan v. Stephens of Fremont,
for consideration, and if Dan saga
"revise" the wishes of the Platte
county candidate will be complied

The action Of Mr.. Stephens is anx.

must have been prompting influence
with . woman who lately sought to
save Pennsylvania from the grasp of
Demon Rum. She started out by
saying that $4,000 boys became adj

that was an average year in the booze
business, this would include about two
thirds of the years output of boys ar.
irving at the age Of meannes.
Everyone knows that no such pro-

drinking men, although they might
thoughtlessly accept the bare figures.
She declared that the same year 2OO,-
90 babies we're smothered by drunken
mothers. The census show that deaths
of this kind numbered 1928, and of
Course not all of these could be at
tributed to intoxication. She said
million deaths a year were caused BY
drunken chauAeurs and cab-drivers.
There we're only 57,5l3 deaths from
Academia, and most of these occurred
on railways. She said 100000 men
and women went to prison in one year,

that is more than the total prison Pc.
