BRISTOL VETS
ARE STIRRED UP
oRYs FILE THEIR PETITloN-AL-
lEGE THAT 1903 POLL TAXES
WERE uNLAwFuLLy PAID
OTHER CHARGES.

Bristo, Va. July 1S.-The wet lead
ers here are somewhat exercised over
the contest petition filed this mcrn-
ing, alleging that o4e hundred ami
three persons. whose names are not
given. did not pay their poll tax out
of their own funds, as provided by
law.
Two years ago it was a matter of
common coment that Dotn sides were
paying poll taxes aud taking prom.
missory notes, and therefore. the
vets are not SO uneasy about the
charge chat more than one hundred
persons living aud having their
homes in the Tennessee half OF the
city outside of the corporate limits
voted wet in the election
in the election
They point to the fact, which is adj
mitted that the majority of the Ten
neseeans who claim their citizenship
in Virginia are drys. and that they
helped to vote Bristol, Va, dry two
years ago, and the opposition did not
raise the question.
The petition is signed by thirty-scv-
en- persons. 1t alleges, among other
things. that some of the wei voters,
who, are called by name, have been
convicted of crime, aud are thereby
disqualified. 1t asks that the Illegal
votes be thrown out,
If their contention is sustained she
changed result would show a decisive
dry majority.

Democrats Hold Caucus to Chastise Col

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 10
Many of the members who attended the
caucus of Democrats Of the House last
night do not interpret the resolution
adopted thereat as Il ''bOycott' of all Of
Speaker Cannon's possible committee as
signments of minority members. AS ex-
planned today. the resolution was adopt
ed to censure the Democrats who bolted
the minority leadership yesterday in the
House and to provide punishment for
their act.
The intention of the caucus, it is ex-
planned, was to prevent the 'boters'
from obtaining any reward for their
course 1t is believed therefore, that
Minority Leader Clark will object to the
assignment of no members to committees
except the twentyfour Democrats who
deserted his leadership. In the event
that assignments are refused and the
House excuses a member from serving
on "a committee, the speaker may decide
to leave the position vacant, thus giving
more power to the Republican members
of the committees.
In the speakers room, it Is not be-
lieved that any serious embarrassment
will arise over the action of the Demo
cratic caucus.

The Republican majority, which,
with the Republican majority in the

ton, is pledged by the platform to re
wise the tariff from the standpoint Of

troll The rules are better by reason of
the changes made. The amendment
which provides for unanimous consent

shoulders the tremendous burden of de
termining what bills shall be allowed to
come up for unanimous consent. The
power to move to recommit a bill right
fully belongs with the minority, where

The rules are improved and the populis-

What The New
House Rules Mean.

First-They establish a calendar for
{ unanimous consents the effect of which
is to enable member to have u propo-
sition brought before the House with
out having to go to the speaker for rec
ognition. This change, they say, will be
relief to the speaker.
SecOnd--When consideration of bill
is concluded and the previous question
is ordered, the rules heretofore have
( provided for motion to commit with
or without instructions. 1t has been the
Z practice to recognize Il member of the
{ majority party to make this motion and
thus prevent the minority from Offering
such Instructions as it may desire. The
} new rule gives the minority the prefer
ence in making such a motion and thus
enables them to get record vote on
propositions which would otherwise be
settled in committee of the whole house,
where 10 record vote is possible.
Third-It protects the calendar Wednes
day by requiring Il two-thirds instead OF
Il majority vote to set it asnde.
FOurth--It is also claimed that the
amendment will have the effect Of pre-
venting favoritism by the action of the
I committee on rules in special cases.
