Dygart replied that he did not.
Lesson to Readers Of Trash.

Public enterprise promoters Of
Baltimore are going after the Nation
al Democratic convention for 1912
and have guaranteed a fund Of
100000 to entertain the delegates.
The first national political convention
was held in Baltimore in 1881, when
Henry Clay was nominated by the
Wings and it also saw the first
National Democratic convention
when, in 1882, Andrew Jackson was
nominated for bis second term. Tho
Democrats continued holding their
national conventions in the Monu-
mental City until 1856, when James
Buchanan was nominated at Cincin-
natl, the same year that the first
National Republican convention was
bell at Philadelphia, nominating John
C. Fremont The Republicans nom
mated Abraham Lincoln at Chicago
in 1860 and have ever since maialy
favored that city. 1t is Thought

After an exhausted inquiry intothe
very poor pay being accorded the
railroads by the Govesnment for
hauling the mail, the Com nittee,
composed Of some Of the leading
operating officials Of railroads in this
country, have come to the conclusion
TO urge on Congress: That authority
be given the Postmaster General to
allow compensation for apartment
ears, as well as for cars used in
hauling mail exclusively. That re-
lief be given Tor performing mes
senger service between the railroad
station and the post Office on short
line routes. That adjournment be
made annually Of the weight Of mail
carried per day payments made ac-
cordingly, instead Of having the mail
weighed only once in Tour years.
If these Recommendations are
complied With, the Government will
then be in an attitude to pay the
railroads fairer compensation fot
performing such valuable service to
the Government and the country.
