Richland Democrat: A man was in
RaYville a few days ago and wanted
to borrow $25. He has been living
in this parish for several months,
and bears a good reputation; but he
wanted to put up plenty personal
property as collateral. which, of

is no law to protect a man who
loans his money on personal prop

What would be the matter with a

The lobbies and parIors of the Jeffer-

last night as has been witnessed there

are located the headquarters of the
convention. but the other larger hotels
had their share.
The New York delegation came In a

Point, and from there by special train
to Richmond. The Jefferson Hotel had
been notified weeks ago, with a list
Of those in the party for whom reser.
vations were made. Hotel clerks joined
the train at Old Point, registered the
visitors and issued their room numbers
on the train, and took care OF their
hand baggage. Taxicabs were used to
rush the small baggage to the hotei.
where 1t was distributed, n when the
guests arrived, their belongings were
already in place.
Another special train came through
from Chicago over the Chesapeake and
Ohio. It was scheduled to arrive at
10 o'clock last night, but because OF
some delay in the West it was delayed,
and did not come until after midnight.
Reservations had been made for the
party. however. and the Jefferson cafe
kept open to extend its welcome.
Rochester, New York and at st. Paul,

the grasp Of Rochester that Business

found the field already occupied, and

Democrats are smiling broadly over
what they consider the second vital
Republican blunder of the gubernato-
rial campaign there, the charge made
by Alfred y. Dalrymple. chairman OF
the Essex County Republican Commit
tee. that Woodrow Wilson. the Demo-
cratic nominee. was induced to take
the nomination by promises from "the
interests that he would receive the
party vice-presidential nomination in
1912. A boomerang of a decidedly &C.
tive kind is the way the charge is
characterized.
The immediate and indignant denial
made by DR.. Wilson undoubtedly set at
rest such public doubt as Chairman
Dalrymple's statement might have
caused, leaving behind 1t what Demo-
Gratis call a very valuable tribute to
its candidate, the admission that he is
presidential timber and is looked to
by the country to lead the hopes of
his party. They believe 1t to be one
of the best chance nationally the
Democrats ave had.

law, the Federal government will en-
deavor this week to induce the SUI
preme Court of the United States to
