people, is the assertion of the World

parties favor it by a large majority,
while commercial bodies and chambers

divided.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE.

The national democratic conference
in Baltimore yesterday developed q
radical difference OF opinion between
Senator Bailey, OF Texas, and Champ
Clark, speaker-to-be, over the methods
to be followed by the democrats in
revising the tariff Otherwise it was a
harmony conference, harmless and
full OF good cheer.
The nearest approach to the buzzine
of the presidential bee was the taking
OF poll on favorite candidates bv =
local newspaper.
This count was taken on the special
train from Washington which brought
about 500 senators, representatives,
and other guests. Harmon led by Q
good sized margin as the favorite can
didate, and Woodrow Wilson came
next. Bryan and Gov. FosS, OF Mas
sachusetta, received no votes.
Eleven hundred plates were laid a
the banquet last night, and the diners
included most of the new democratic
members OF the House and many
senators in official life. Among the
speakers at the banquet were former
Senator Blackburn, Representative
Palmer, of Pennsylvania; Col. ]. c.
Hemphill, OF Richmond, and I. M.
Bell, of California.
Theodore M. Bell, of California, Will
liam ]. Bryan's close friend. speaking
at the banquet, declared that fate had
decreed that Mr.. Bryan never should
be president and that the democratic
party would not again be called upon
to nominate him.
His statement at the close OF the
days harmony conference was regarded
as significant. 1t was the only time
that Bryan's name was mentioned in
the days proceedings.
The fact that Mr.. Bell took occasion
after speaking Of Bryan, to SIM. the
praises of Champ Clark, led many tc
suspect that the peerless leader is pre-
pairing to throw his support to the Mis-
sourian in the coming race for the
| democratic nomination.

New York, Jan. 1S.-After lot OF
close figuring, James A. Farrell, the
new president OF the U. S. Steel Corpo-
ration, has decided that he can live on
$50, 900 a year and will accept this
salary from the steel trust, despite the
fact that it is 4 cut OF $50, 900 from the

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING. JAN. IS

THE democratic rally in Baltimore
Yesterday evening was an inspiration
to the party. The solid facts set forth
by the speakers not only enthused
their hearers, but the echoes OF their
utterances are heard from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. The speeches OF Cover
nor Hartman, Representative Champ
Clark and Senator Bailey are still
ringing in the ears OF the large audience
and being read by millions throughout
the country. They have added hun
dred fold to the courage caused by tue
democratic victory OF last November.
Senator Bailey in his speech, among
other things said.
rejoice as sincerely as the most en-
thusiastic among you in the great VIC
tory which We have met to celebrate:
but I shall leave others to indulge in
the congratulations which are so ap-
propriate on this occasion, and l shall
occupy my time in trying to read the
lesson which that election teaches US,
so that this victory shall be the fore
runner OF another and a greater one to
come. To me the truth which appears
most plainly on the face OF those re-
turns is that our party can never nope
to win triumph worth celebrating IN
this splendid manner that does not IN
clude some achievement in the north
as well as in the south, and in the east
rs we'll rs in the west. The blind
guides who have, from time to tlme'
urged the democrats of the south to re-
pudiate their brothers OF the north and
east, and to seek assistance only in the
west. must regard the result OF that
election with amazement and chagrln
for the dullest OF them cannot be IN
sensible to the fact that had we follow
ed their advice, we would even now be
walking with dowpcast faces through
that valley over which forever falls the
shadow OF defeat. So profoundly must
this lesson impress itself upon the
minds OF thoughtful democrats that
our party isapt hereafter to follow any
leader who counsels it to deliberately
provoke the hostility OF any section;
and we must strive to make the people
OF this republic understand in our day,
as they understood in the day OF our
fathers, that the principles Of demo-
cracy do not vary with longitudes nor
ATTITUDES: with the seasons, or with the
years.
