ials made by Democratic Legis-
latures to Congress. by the &C
ton of the Democrats in Con-
gress in both the House of
Representatives and Senate, so
earnestly and so eloquently that
we have converted the Republi-
can party to this reform with but
few exceptions. We must not
desert it now. The foulest
charge that can be laid against
any party is that of insincerity
and betrayal of its platform
promises. The golden rule of
the Democratic party has been
to keep faith with the people.
While. of course, | am great
ly interested in having an OPP
portunity to submit my claims to
the Democrats of the State, con-
fident in the belief a majority of
them are for me, pre-eminently
above this rises loyalty upon the
part of the Democratic party to
the people in keeping sacred
platform promises. l have re
ceived thousands of letters from
Democrats of the State. includ-
ing county chairmen and editors
of Democratic newspapers and |
feel secure in the statement that
95 per cent. of the Democratic
papers want the senatorial race
included in the call for a primary
to nominate candidates for State
Offices.
IF the committee refuses to
include the senatorial race in the
primary it will do so IN open and
bold defianceof the almost. unan-
imous wish of the Democracy of
the State. The members of the
committee are the servants. not
the masters, of the Democratic
party; they are the trustees of
Democratic faith; they are not
casting their votes. but the votes
of the thousands of Democrats
Of the State who have intrusted
them with their confidence.

Gently began damage suits for $780,

Cleveland Moffett, the writer OF an
alleged defamatory statement con-
corning the Standard Oil Company,

The article in question referred to
the manufacture and sale of impure
candles and said the Standard Oil
Company manufactured and sold inn
pure materials which went into these
candles and that when the various
dealers were arrested and fined the
Standard Oil Company paid the fines.
Upon investigation, writes Cleve-

day. 81 have ascertained that your
company was in no way connected
with the transactions referred to and
hasten to retract in the fullest man
ner all charges made against your
company. and to express my sincere
regret that | should have fallen into
this serious error"

5000 FAMILIES MADE
HOMELESS BY DISASTER.

Washington, Feb. S.-The eruption
of Taal volcano and the accompany
ing disturbances in the Philippines
killed 700 people in the town of Tall
say, according to the report of the
Governor of Batangas province,
which was cabled to the war depart
ment to-day by Gov. Gen. Forbes. of
the Philippine Islands. The earth
quake shocks continue, the Governor
General added.
Among the estimates OF casualties
transmitted to the war department
to-day was report from Delegate
Apacible. representing Batangas in
the Philippine Assembly, who placed
the total dead at 900. The delegates
report added that 5000 families had
been made homeless by the disaster.
The Philippine authorities are face
to face with the absolute necessity
of adopting relief measures in order
to avoid suffering, as the falling Of
mud and lava destroyed the crops
within considerable radius of the
volcano. The Red Cross Society in
the islands is taking steps toward that
end.

OF MINES WILL
BLOW UP A COAL MINE

The Bureau of Mines is preparing
to touch off an explosion in a real
coal mine to demonstrate the explosi-
bility of coal dust. Some say that
the government experiments at Pitts
burg have only theoretical value be-
cause they are conducted in a steel
tank and not in a mine. The govern
ment is trying to hammer into the
heads of the doubters that it is coal
dust, not gas, that causes the most
terrible mine disasters. They have
bought a mine and will blow it up TO
prove it,
The experimental explosions will
have all the characteristics OF the real
disaster, without the usual loss of
life. for there will be no one in the
government. mine when the dust ex-
piodes. When the poisonous gases
have been driven out the experts will
enter and study the effects of the ex-
plosion. Scientists have long known
that the dust of coal. wood and grain
is explosive; il is only within three
years that they have discovered that
coal dust is an explosive as power
full as dynamite.

JAMES POSITION.

Il came from Washington for
the purpose of using my best
endeavors 10 get the Democratic
State Executive Committee to
include the senatorial race in the
primary which was called to
nominate candidates for State
Offices" said Mr.. James last
night. Democrats of the State
are greatly aroused over the
failure of the committee to in
clude the senatorial race in the
primary. They do not believe it
is either fair or Democratic to
deny them the opportunity to
select their candidate for Senator
in the same primary which the
committee has called to select
candidates for State offices. This
was done the last time. and the
Democrats of various States
have almost uniformly nomin-
ated their candidates for Senator
in primary.
The Democratic party has
advocated the election of Sena-
tors by the people for twenty
years in our platforms, in the
Democratic press of the country,

party on the stump, by memoir

The Commercial Appeal, in
trying to play TO the popular side
in the Mcnamara case, has made
itself look silly. A few weeks
ago it was condemning the trial
court and the methods used
in selecting a jury, and now,
since the men have confessed, it
is crying for their blood and
wants to see them hung. The
Commercial Appeal knows that
the confession OF these men,
forever dispelling any doubt as
to their guilt, is worth more to
the country than the ia king of
their worthless lives by process
of law. and certainly no confeS-
sion could have been wrung
from these men without some
compromise as to the punish
ment that would be metcd out to
them.

clearing for all time any doubt as
to their guilt.
1t is our honest opinion that
the confession of these men is of
sufficient importance to the
American people that any penal
punishment might be spared
them, but of course this is not
likely to occur.
Tho great benefit in this con
fession lies in the purifying eff
feet it will have upon organized
labor and upon socialism.
When once the eyes of the
people are opened to the true
state of affairs when the truth
is known and falSehood, deccp-
tion and crime is laid bare, right
will assert itself and a period of
puritication will begin.
Had these men not confessed
their awful crimes and laid the
facts bare at the feet of Justice,
all the trials. evidence, COnvic-
tions and punishment that might
have been mctpd out to them
would ouly avcintcnSiticd the hue
and cry thatthcy were martyrs
and the prey and victim of CAPT
tal-innoccnt men, kidnapped
from the state of Indiana and
spirited away to California to be
sacrificed on the ScHtfold to ap-
peaSe the "glut" and greed of
capital. thus poisoning the minds
of the unthinking, the ignorant
and the prejudiced.
No. Organized labor and So
cialism never would have ad-
mitted the guilt of these men,
and their conviction would have
tended only to intensity the un-
warranted fight against capital.
Why, more than a million dol
lars was raiSd to defend these
men, t. clear them of the charge
of blowing up the Los Angeles
Times building and killing II
men. besides about 80 other eX-
plOsionS. But now the men say
they did it, that it was for a
principle, and they have no re
only for being caught.
! We are not opposed to organ
lied labor, but in its true mean.
ing we are in favor of it. Its
real purpose is to better the con
dition of the working man. But
this can never be done by fight
ing capital, because the best in
tereStS Of capital and labor are
identical-one must depend OF
the other. If there was no capi
tai there would be no labor. Sc
the laboring man who hates his
employer and seeks to destroy
him or his property, is taking
the bread from his own mouth.
The confession of these men
bringing the world face to face
with a condition that has long eX
isted, can have but one effect
and that is to unite capital anC
labor. The great majority of la
boring men are good, peaceable
law biding men, and now thOS'
leaders in their ranks who have
so long sought to miSlead, blinC
and prejudice them, will b.
