Fergus County Democrat., 1911-02-21
Democratic Conference.


Helena, Feb. 18.-The senatorial
deadlock will be broken by the cleo
ton of a democrat before final ad-
journment. This assurance was given
at last nights conference of demo-
cratic members. of the Twelfth as
sembly at which there were but two
absentees. The conference resulted
in cementing the democrats closer to-
gether than they have been at any
time since the legislature convened.
1t was decided to hold another con-
ference at day next week to be fixed
by Senator Mccarthy, joint caucus
chairman. This conference will be
preliminary to caucus to be held
in the closing days of the session
when unity of action becomes i'm
perative.
Representative Kammerer and Al
ley were the only two absentees last
night The former has gone to his
home at Alder for the weekend and
the latter attended the theater.
There was little oratory and a total
absence of harsh language at the con-
ference. The situation was discussed
in cool and unimpassioned manner
we simply decided that the DEM
ocrats must act together before ad-
journment on this proposition of
electing senator" said Senator
George after the conference. 1T was
the concensus of opinion that we owe
it to the state to elect a senator be-
fore adjournment and we are going
to do So"
Leaders of both the Conrad and
the Walsh factions gave assurance
that when they became convinced
that their candidate no longer had a
chance of election they would unite
on someone satisfactory to the ma
jority.
Representative Donohue, of Daw-
SON county, apparently voiced the
sentiment of the Walsh forces wher
he declared that they would continue
voting tor Walsh until it became ap
parent that the situation demanded
his withdrawal Mr.. Donohue sale
the Walsh forces would not block the
election of a senator.
Senator Gallwey. representing the
sentiment of the Conrad forces, said
he voted for Conrad IL years ago and
had continued to vote for him 70,
senator at every opportunity since
that time. He asserted that unit
such time as he was convinced tina
his candidate could not be elected h,
would continue in his support of him
He gave assurance, however, that tn,
Conrad force had not declared TO
"Conrad or no one"
The conference was held in th
court room of Judge Smith, at tn
county building 1t was not calle,
to order until after 7:3O o'clock. AT
ter expressing their views and listen
ing to an expression of views for al
hour or more, several left to atten,
the play, so the conference was sool
over
Just when the next conference will
be held depends largely upon tn
events of the coming week. It is un
derstood that it will be called for tn

BAILEY
From Mt. Vernon GOt Too
Much Mansfield Booze
mansfield News)

A fool and his money are soon part
ed at the police station and William
Bailey learned this Tuesday morning
when he had to give up $3.50. He
had come to Mansfield from Mt Yer
non and after taking a few drinks to
the tune OF Turkey In the Straw, he
had to be brought to the halfway
house In a cab by Officer Keiser. He
had $4,65 and part of bottle of
bug Juice. He thought the best way
to make long story short was to
plead guilty, 30 the mayor gave him
the minimum. This left Bill with Just
five cents to get to Mt Vernon. After
coming down stairs. he asked to see
the mayor again. When Bailey came
down the second time he looked quite
relieved as he told Capt. Mcclure the
mayor had refunded two-bits OF his
fine. He was given this and left
promising never to let 1t happen
again.

THOMASVILE TO HAVE
"CLEANING UP" DAY

TOWNSVILLE. Ca, Oct. It'll
members of the Townsville Study class
who were so successful with their ef-
forts in cleaning up the town last
spring, will undertake a fall cleanin
very soon and the ladies composing the
civic committee of the class will aD-
point a special day for the purpose.
All through this section the women
through their clubs or other organiza
tons are taking up this work and their
efforts to make the "city beautiful are
meeting with great success. This seems
a work especially designed for the fair
sex and the men are finding out that
wherever they have undertaken it the
work has been thoroughly and effective
ly done so that they are glad now to
turn it over into their hands.

Ship nothing but the very best of
eggs-those = you consider good
enough to put on the table when
your RICH relatives come to see
you. Do not include any "dirties"
or poorly shaped eggs. If an egg
is so soiled that it cannot be put
in good clean condition let it be
kept off the market
If the eggs are only slightly soil
ed, and no matter how clean the
nests may be kept there will al
ways be some that are not abso-
lutely clean, wash them in water
that is slightly warmed, using a
pure soap. Rinse them off with
clear water and lay them on a
clean cloth or absorbent cotton
and let the air dry them.
II is much better to ship the
eggs that are perfectly clean with
out washing. You have some
times noticed the nice bloom on
an egg as you take it from the
nest, and you have noticed, too,
how soon that bloom goes when
the egg is handled very much.
Now that bloom is worth a good
deal when the eggs are placed on
the market. for It is an indication
that the eggs are of, the very
freshest.

the Government

Los ANGELES, CaL-Helen Todd
state factory inspector Of Illinois, is
woman who knows something about in
dustrial conditions in America
The committee of so in this city op-
posed to suffrage should remember" she
said, that life is not made up of com
mittees of 30, but Of men and women
whose life-blood is being drawn from
their bodies by an Industrial Jugger-
naut, the like of which the world has
never before seen. The factory worker
never sees the finished product He makes
one gesture from morning until sunset,
uses one set of brain cells until they
are striped of all vitality and the strain
results in a reaction that can only be
satisfied by violent and brutal amuse-
nient.
I'm a growing child the point of ex-
haustion is soon reached and it is a we'll
known fact that to drive him beyond this
point causes a violent reaction that re-
suits ultimately in the destruction of the
nervous system.
IT learned from Mr. Kingsley, of the
Chicago Associated Charities, that the
greater proportion of charity cases come
EITHER from men being thrown, out OF
work by industrial conditions over which
they have no control or from the MAIN
ing of the fathers
Then from the judicial department of
the city I learned that these boys who
are forced into this nerve destroying
speeding, by the time they are 20 or q,
loathe work within an unspeakable repul-
sion; they will do nothing, because work
has been to them not development, but
destruction of mind and body; they be-
come floaters. buns, tramps and loafers
If not actual crimials-and are for the
rest of their days a charge, on society.
81 saw the entire Employers Associa-
ton Of Illinois fight with money, cum
ming tooth and claws last yeaA to pro-
hibit the passing of any laws to regulate
the number of hours day that women
might work. They said 10 was not
enough; they MUST work women more.
Was that protection?ts
Regulation of these evils will be as
sured only by giving women the ballot.
Men have in them this great creative
industrial ability which in it's eagarness
for success puts the manufactured article
above human life, limb or happiness or
even the good of society Pain and deg
radiation mean nothing If they increase
the industrial output.
women, on the contrary, because they
know to a nicely what Is the cost of a

Men lack the element of feeling and sym
pathy that is necessary IN the social or
