MIDWINTER CONVENTION

1t IS SAID the proposltIon OF
holding an early Conventions
early in fact that somewhere
near April 18th has been men
toned as a suitable date for the
purpose of naming a democratic
candidate for congress in the
tenth district, is being seriously
considered in some quarters.
The originators of this new idea
maintain that!two years ago the
republican nominee was named
in February, and attribute in a
large measure, his ultimate sue
cess to this fact because it af-
forded him ample time in which
to organize the district. Maybe
so, but this is no reason for
democrats becoming involved in
a scramble for the nomi-
nation months and months before
their convention is usually held.
Democrats are quite unlike re-
publicans. They want time for
Ideliberation before battle and
object to being coerced into
attending primaries and conven-
toni in March and April which
are usually held during the
months of June and July. The
democratic people are not es-
peciaIIy fond of conventions,
anyway, and detest agitation.
They can see no feasible reason
fora mid-winter convention and
there appears to be a well-de-
fined sentiment among demo-
Gratis over the district, to let the
republicans take the initiative
again this year and go after the
candidate they name, later on,
with a man who is able to come
out the winner ION the home
stretch"
This paper is unequivocally
opposed to AN early campaign
and does not believe the district
convention ought to be held be-
fore summer. The latter part of,
June isearly enough. The dis
trict is democratic and with
proper organization will be
Wrested from the enemy this
year. But it cannot be done. by
annoying the people with the
claims of various aspirants for
the nomination eleven. months
before the election! Why not
await the action of the srepubli-
can convention, anyway2 The
party. in control of affairs should
always lead the way.
Republican success in this dis
trict last year does not signify
that such a result can be made
permanent. It was an unex-
pected victory, as much so to re-
publicans as to democrats, and
local differences'in two counties
are responsible for the demo
cratic losses. Few democrats
were apprehensive of danger and
republicans generally were with
out hope. The election of the
republican candidate in, 1903 was
one of those accidents which
happen once in a generation, It
is not ''likely" to occur again.
He has a record behind him and
thereby hangs.a tale-a tale of

Fifty-one millions OF dollars is given
as the extent Of the damage to chest
nut trees in portions OF New York,
New Jersey and Connecticutsnear New
York city, from a bark disease which
has been found to be Of fungous origin.
In Forest park. Brooklyn, alone 10000
trees have succumbed to the pest. The
department of agriculture has made a
study Of the disease and suggests as
means Of prevention that all nursery
stock shipped be Inspected and that all
affected trees be cut down and COM
pletely burned in the shape Of fuel and
brush. It is thought that this disease
came from Japan in shipments OF nurs-
cry stock. though the fact has not been
fully established.

He has a record behind him and
thereby hangs,a tale-a tale of
woe. He will have a different
story to relate this year from the
wonderful %. narrative re-
hearsed before the people two
years ago. There is Mrs. Reed
and others to be reckoned with.
The democrats need to let the
question of time and place for
holding the convention rest
and cast about for the strongest
available man to bear their stan
dard to victory. 1t should in no
wise be made a question of per-
sonal preference, but one of
availability. Democratic success
should be the paramount issue
and not whether Bill Jones or
John Smith is entitled to the
nomination.

TEN MILLIONS
in SEVEN STATES
POPULATION SHOWS
AN INCREASE OF 14.9 PER
CENT IN LAST TEN
YEARS.

Washington. oct 2S.-In addition TO
tin gives the names of seven states
for which returns have been published
up to oct 20. They were Rhode Is
land. Michigan, Missouri New Mexico,
Delaware, Vermont and Massachusetts.
The aggregate population for these
States was 10,S9S272, an increase of
149 per cent, against an increase of
1874 per cent. In the decade of 1890
To 1900.
Forty three cities of more than l0O,-
coo population and l59 cities between
25, 900 and 100000 are given. Com
mencing upon the facts presented the
bulletin says:
with the data for both groups of
cities approaching completeness, it ia
noticeable that the smaller cities, as
group, seem TO have maintained
during the decade 1900 to 1910 rate
Of growth considerably above that
maintained by the larger cities, the
rate for the aggregate population of
the smaller cities being 1913 per cent
and that for the larger S0.1.
There was no such contrast in the
decade 1890 to 1900, during which the
increase of the smaller cities I'm the
aggregate was 1922 per cent and the
larger 1921 per cent.
"1'he returns for all of the cities
which i'm 1900 were i'm the 100000 class
have been received except for Los An

Holland, Mich, Oct. 2S.-When he

Chase $. Osborn, republican candidate

prettiest ovations ever offered po-
litical candidate in Michigan.
AS he. i'm company with EX-Mayor

Appearing before a well filled audi

the records of the Democratic party

the people of Michigan than do less

i'm his opinion there are too many
idle and worthless state employees.

Illinois Supreme Court Rules
Against Ill. Central in Back
Taxes Case, Which Will
Be Re-Heard
NO new TRIAL FOR M'CANN
Former Police Inspector Of Chicago
Will Have to Serve Sentence.
Search For Men "Hieher Up"
May Be Started.

Springfield. H., oct. 2S.-The Ili-
nois Central, sued by the state for
back taxes. tentatively placed at ff-
teen million dollars, was defeated in
the preliminary hearing of the case by
decision Of the supreme court.
The effect Of the decision is to send
the case back to the circuit court of
I.aSalle county for a hearing on it's
merits. The lower court had sustain
ed the company's demurrers and dis
missed the complaint.
II is the contention Of Governor De-
neen that for thirty-three years the
railroad has been milking" the state
through its system of accounting for
gross earnings on which it is required
under charter to pay seven per cent
to the state i'm lieu of other taxes.
In the decision i'm the. Illinois Cen
tral case the court ruled the claim on
accounts prior To 1905 are outlawed.
Under this ruling the fifteen million
claimed dwindles 10 about one million.
From 1905 the court lays down a rule
for an accounting by which the state,
il is estimated. will receive $1,000
600 annal revenue from the road in
stead of s1,OO0,000 or less as at present.
Decision Against McCann.
The Supreme court today affirmed
the judgment of the criminal court OF
Cook county against McCann, in an
appeal for new trial for former Po-
lice Inspector Mccain of Chicago
Police Inspector McCann was con-
victed of accepting bribes for "protec-
tion" from gamblers and denizens of
the underworld. He was sentenced TO
five years in the penitentiary. Inn
mense sums are alleged TO have been
collected by Mccain.
The gathering of the immunity
money is said to have been pursued in
systematic and business-like fash
ion.
There was. it is alleged a regular
schedule of prices. 1t is not believed
all the money collected went TO Nc
Cam.
An interesting development of the
affirmation of his conviction may be a
search for men higher up, who are
supposed to have received the bulk Of
the money.
