The VETS AND
DRyS BATTLE
IN MIGHT AN
STATE WIDE CAMPAIGN CLOSED
WITH ToDAYE< ELECTIONS; IL
QUoR MEN AND ANTESALooN-
ISTS CLAIM VICTORY.

Detroit, Mich, April 5-"Wet" Or
dry" is the question of the hour to-
day in twenty-seven counties in the
lower peninsula of Michigan which
are voting on local option There are
upwards Of thousand saloons and
fourteen breweries and wholesale IL
quor houses in these counties which
will be driven out of business if the
campaign of the Anti-Saloon league
during the past two months results in
success in all the counties.
In addition to the vote on the
liquor question the state ticket today
is unusually long for a spring elec.
ton. Two justices Of the state sl-
preme court, two regents Of the uni.
versity of Michigan, a member of the
state board Of education, and sir
members of the state legislature are
to be chosen today. County officers
are also being voted for in number
of counties.
Confronted by the most ambitious
campaign which the Anti-Saloor
league has ever undertaken agains!
them in Michigan, the liquor interests
have made hard fight. Leaders on
both sides professed confidence today
but it was generally conceded local op
ton was sure to carry in a number
of counties.
The weather throughout the state
is generally fair.

BRYAN GIVEN A
HOT ROAST
REPRESENTATIVE FITZGERALD
IN REPLY TO CRITICISM, AS.
SAILS NEBRAskAN.

Washington, d. c., April. s. Rep
resentative John Fitzgerald Of New
York, who gained considerable promi-
nence by having adopted his amend
ments to the house rules, and who at
the same time brought down upon him
self and his twenty-one followers the
wrath of the so-called regular Demo-
Gratis, has issued the following pep
perry reply TO William J. Bryan's crit
icism of his action, recently publish
ed:
with his usual rashness, Bryan
rushes in where angels might well
fear to tread. His statement that I am
not a representative of my party
would have come with better grace ii
made when my speeches were being
selected as Democratic campaign docu
ments in the last two national cam
paigns. 1t would be more convincing II
he had marshalled the incidents in my
ten years service in the house of rep
resentatives to justify his assertion.
If Bryan means am not a repres
entative of the Democratic party as
democracy has been understood and
professed by himself, shall not chal
lenge his statement. My political con
victions and beliefs are more in ac
cord with the democracy of those
men who twice made possible Cleve
lands election as president than with
the later day radicalism of the west.
"As to the personal references ii
Bryan's statement to my sense Of pro
priety and respect for my party,
have only to say that if the Demo
cratic party had given me three op
portunities to become president and
had failed as dismally as Bryan hal
even if did not have sense to do 50
yet, the obligation of gratitude to m,
party would compel me to remain 81
lent about matters of which | wa
grossly ignorant"

GROOM MENlAL.
IN BRIDES HOME
GIRLS FATHER BITTERLY oP.
POSES MATCH, BUT MOTHER
CONSENTS.

San Francisco, CAL, April 5.-Miss
Helen Gladys Emery has at last mar
ried Gunjiro Aoki, the Japanese house
boy in the Emery house, after the
most stirring criticism criticism
which has been statewide.
The mother, Mrs. John Emery, ap-
proved of the marriage, while her hus-
band, Archdeacon Emery of the Epis-
copal church, was bitterly opposed. AS
soon as Mrs. Emery found that her
daughter loved Aoki- and there is no
question but that she does-she at
once resigned herself to the condi
tions and not only approved of theiI
marriage, but strongly urged it. In hel
efforts to win over the fathers ap
proval she wrote TO her son, endeav
oring to enlist his aid in his sister''
marrying Aoli. His brief, laconic repl!
was as follows:
Dear Mother You know how
love nigger.-Charles."
Archdeacon Emery will not sanction
the marriage and this has caused
rupture between himself and wife, fol
she has stayed by the daughter
through thick and thin and has gone
with Mr. and Mrs. Aoki away from
San Francisco, where the criticism be
came so heated that the three coult
no longer live in peace.
About week ago the young men o
Miss Emery's acquaintance decided t
run Aoki out of the town, but thu
Japanese learned Of their intentions
and lost no time In taking his depar
ture before being forced to dc so.
Mrs. Emery defends her position OF
the ground that "the true Christian
heart does not recognize color or pc
sition. 1t looks to see if the soul l
white"

Rnce now," he said. While the chair
was ruling that the question was not
parliamentary, one of the Republicans

fusion. The first speaker was Bart
lett of Georgia, who advocated free
