It can be said upon highest author

One OF the interesting bits Of gossip

future OF the farmers free list bill.
There is a arm belief among the Re
publican leaders that the farmers free
list bill Is to be put through by prac-
;ically the same coalition and this was
me of the considerations upon which
he Democrats finally consented to be-
come a tail to Senator La Follette's
presidential kite.
Not only will a considerable num-
Der Of progressive Republicans be
ready to vote for the farmers free list
bill, but there are at least two regu-
lar Republicans who are peeved over
the passage of the Canadian reciproc-
lty bill and who are ready, it is be-
lieved, to join with the Democrats in
passing the farmers free list bill as
of the Canadian pact.

Another mans body was found

which the man took to leave no

present commission finally pushed
the thing and work Is now going
ahead on the project.
Titlow reviewed the fight for
the power plant. He showed
how Fawcett had given the city
he municipal dock, the greatest
hing of them all how he has help
I'd to put the fine bridges ON
rwenty-first and Twenty-third
! street and has in a short ten
months put the city in line for the
development of the great public
service utilities.
"And where was Seymour in
all these great battles for the
people?" asked Titlow. ibid any
body ever hear of him out help
ing to get the gravity water So
tenn? Where was he when the
people were trying to get free from
the Stone-Webster power trust
that is now robbing the people?
Was he ont working for the mu-
nicipaI power plant? Nobody
ever heard him say word for
the people In that fight. No. but
he was writing letters to his pe0-
ple' in New York and blocking the
sale of the bonds TO defeat the
project. And he dare not deny
it. He has not denied IL and when
it was charged against him a few
weeks ago by MIR. Savage in the
presence of MIR. Nichols and MIR.
Scofield he did not deny Il.
Where Was Seymour?
"And where was he when the
people were fighting. the water
front interests and the crooked
press for the municipal dock?
No one ever heard OF him arising
in behalf of any of these things
for the people.
"No his whole education, his
jenvironment and his private in
terests are on the other side.
Every dollar of his fortune he has
made in private ownership of pub
lie utilities. He believes In that
plan and that these public utilities
are for the purpose OF private
capital exploiting the people.
Mr.. Titlow reviewed the career
of the Seymour press. He declar-
| ed that every mayor the city ever
had that attempted to serve the
people had been bounded out of
office by the venal publications,
and that they are attempting to
drive out A. V. Fawcett because
he works for the people instead
of the special interests.

AMERICAS Great CIVIL War M BEGAN 50 Years AGO TODAY

Just SO years ago today-on
the 18th of April, 1S61-the
American Civil war began. At
4:3O O'Clock on the morning of
that day the Confederate shore
batteries at Charleston, s. c.,
opened fire upon Fort Sumter, one
of the forts located in the great
harbor at that point. Thirty-six
hours later, after those batteries
had fired 2,361 solid shot and
$50 shells at the walls of the fort,
the little garrison, under NJ or
Anderson, gave up the UNEQUAL
contest and surrendered. On the
morning of the 14th Major An
derson and his command-less
than 100 men-marched out OF
the fort with the honors of war,
and embarked for New York.
Thus began the greatest and
bloodiest of modern wars-a war
in which some three million men
were under arms and in which
100000 or thereabouts were eth
er killed outright or died of
wounds or disease.
A half century has sufficed to
heal the wounds that were raw
and bleeding when the war clos
ed, and now the bitterness of the
conflict has been forgotten. Now
it is pathetically amusing to read
the impassioned and biased stories
of the battles of the rebellion
that were written while the war
was in progress or Immediately
after its close.

Clean citizens cannot stand
to be coupled up in the
campaign with Pete Sandber6,
the Royal Arch and the sa-
looms generally and they are de-
serting the Seymour standard In
droves. The way things are going
was illustrated last night In the
Seventh ward. made up largely OF
the church people. 4.
Monday night the Seymour fol-
lowers held a meeting at klang's
hall and they had about S5 peo-
pie. Last night in the same hall
the people turned out to Fawcett
meeting, packed the hall with 3Oo
voters and a couple of hundred
went home unable to get in at all.
A good percentage of the aud
ience was women. Many voted
for Seymour before, but they have
learned that the saloons, and the
dissolute characters in town are
backing him and they are now
for Fawcett.
The feature of the meeting was
the calling out from the audience
of Rev. w. o. Benadom, pastor of
Epworth Methodist church, the
second largest in the city. He
had come to hear but when asked
to speak declared himself in no
uncertain way. He said he had
been to several Seymour meetings
and they were not giving Fawcett
a square deal" This and the
fact that the issue in this cam
paign was the Royal Arch against
the people has made an impression
on the moral voters. The meet
ing last night indicated almost a
stampede of the decent people to
Fawcett.
Mr.. Benadom had no intention
of speaking at the meeting but
the call was so persistent that he
took the floor.
Mrs. Harry Johnston made a
telling talk. She had started in
the campaign investigating. She
had several conferences with Sey-
mour. and she is firmly for Faw-
lcett.
"Why. we as w. C. T. U. wom-
/ en- cannot support Seymour and
train with the saloons which are
all with him and which we have
been fighting all these years. We
women are against vice and the
vice advocates are all for Sey-
mour," said Mrs Johnston and the
Ioutburst of applause from the
women as well as men present
showed that both were going to
cut loose from the saloon candid

activity on the part OF the wom-

Before Ralph Metcalf, Senator

plants, he does not bear down
with the same emphasis on ''leas-

tered on an era of municipal own
