DEMOCRATS READY
FOR AN EXCITING
CONTEST IN 1912
Race for Presidential Nomi-
nation Will Be Most Bitter
ly Contested of Any in the
Past Forty Years.

timber for this position on the ticket
are Governors Baldwin. of Connect.
cut. and Plaisted Of Maine, both East
erners. Then there are Governor
Marshall. of Indiana; Governor Sha
froth, of Colorado; and Francis M
Keney, the graft prosecutor OF Cali
fornia, all of them Westerners.
This does not contemplate the
South's interest In the next ticket
There Is no doubt that the South will
demand one OF the places in the gift
OF the next national convention. This
section has too long done nothing but
produce the votes from the party's
candidates. Now it proposes to pro
duce at least one OF the candidates.
As For the South.
In view OF the eminent availability
1 oS Clark. Wilson and Harmon for the
drst place. 1t is obvious that the South
could get but the next best place. Ac.
cordingly Southern politicians have al
ready began to cast about for posi-.
bilities. Virginians have put forward

er. Marylanders are supporting Gov
ernor Austin l.. Crothers; Georgians,
Governor Hoke Smith; Tennesseans
Former Governor and Former Con
gresham Benton McMillin; and North
Carolina, Julian Carr.
. There are a multitude of old "war
horses" In the South who will be put
forward as "favorite sons" and who
will be backed for the second place
win the first place.
This makes the contest for the Vice
Presidential nomination all the more
promising OF excitement. or course
there will be fight worthy OF fight
ing party when the time comes to
name the head of the ticket. Every.
body knows this and everybody is
even now lining up for their man. Most
Of this work will, however, be done

like. but it is q step in the right d.
rection. and by voting 1t up We can
throw the subject into conference and
perhaps get some tariff revision leg
islation at this session." said the sen
ator
Senator Williams also said il he
were member of the house at this
time and could control its action. he
would certainly oppose adjournment
until the campaign publicity bill had
been acted on by the senate and until
a cotton revision bill had been passed
by tn. house and voted on by the SEN
ate.
Democrats to Caucus.
The Democratic senators will. It Is
understood. hold a caucus some time
next week to decide whether they
shall vote for the La Toilette textile
revision bill. Some observers are in
clined to believe that If the insurgent
Republican senators under the leader
ship of La Toilette become convinced
that the Democrats intend to support
the LaFollette revision bill they (the
insurgent senatorsl will hesitate about
vision bill. There was also a demand
today from numerous senators and
representatives that there should be
action on the joint resolution provid-
| ing for the direct election OF senator's.
The conference committee to which
this resolution has been referred ex-
poets to get down to work the first of
/ the week.
From the ways and means commit
tee of the house there came the def
mite statement that the bill revising
the cotton schedule would be complet-
ed next Tuesday. AS a formality It
will then be referred to the treasury
department for criticism. The program
then is to submit it to a caucus of tho
Democratic members next Saturday
night and report it to the house on the
| following Monday.

The Father Of Tobacco Smoking.


1t is quite hopeless to trace out the
fathers of smoking in general and to-
bacco smoking in particular. Who first
drew in smoke of any kind through Il
pipe In England and who first Of our
countrymen took to tobacco will al
ways remain disputable. 1t is equally
uncertain which western tribe made
the sublime discovery There is even
dispute as to whether tobacco takes its
name from the island of Tobago. from
the Yucatan province of Tobacco. from
Tabasco in Florida or from a y-shaped
pipe which the people Of Hispaniola
smoked with their noses. Only one
name is definitely associated with the
great institution. that Of Jean Nicot
the French amba ssador to Portugal.
who spread the fame Of the herb
through Europe. And of all who are
familiar with nicotine today how
many associate it with Nicot or have
even heard Of him!--Lontlcn Chronicle

CLOSE OF SESSION
MATTER OF DOUBT
Many a Slip 'Twixt Senate
Agreement on Vote and
Early Adjournment.

Washington. July 15.-The special
session of congress may be prolonged
to the middle of August or even to the
1st of September. Developments today
show that the agreement of the senate
yesterday to vote on Canadian reci-
procity, revision of the wool schedule,
the farmers free list bill. the bill re-
apportioning the house of representa-
tives and the legislation to enable the
territories Of Arizona and New Mexico
to get into the Union by August I.
does not necessarily open the way for
an early adjournment.
The Democratic leaders Of the house
have not yet reached final decision
as to what their attitude toward ad-
journment will be, but they evidently
are inclined to advise the house to re-
fuse to adjourn until the bill providing
for publicity of campaign contribu-
tions before elections is passed by the
senate and a bin revising the cotton
schedule acted on by the senate.
Cotton Ready Next Week.
The Democratic members of the
ways and means committee hope to
have the cotton revision bill ready for
submission to Democratic caucus by
the end of next week. If the program
that has been arranged is carried out
this bill will be sent to the senate be-
it has agreed to carry out.
The senate situation also presents
possibilities that. apparently, were not
reckoned with by those senators who
were instrumental in bringing forward
the agreement that was adopted yes
terday afternoon. The prediction was
made today by influential Democratic
senators that the wool revision bill
passed by the house would be defeat
ed in the senate on July 81, the day
agreed on for a vote. The Democrats
expect the insurgent Republican sen.
ators and the regular Republican sena
tors to vote this bill down. The tenta
tive program of the Democrats is to
support the La Toilette bill revising
the wool and cotton schedules after
the Democratic nill is voted down. II
this program should be carried out
legislation revising the textile sched
ules would be thrown into conference
and, If either house should refuse te
/ adjourn until the conference commit
tee agreed, the session might be pro
| longed indefinitely.
May Help Out Ia Toilette.
Senator John Sharp Williams, Of
Mississippi, who has come to be re
garded as the leader of the Democrats
in the senate, said If he were to make
a prediction it would be that the in
surgent senators would vote down the
Democratic wool bill, and that the
Democratic senators would vote up the
La Toilette bill revising the textile
schedules.

not just the sort of bill we Democrats

the economic value of Its products.
Unless this is done, a safe balance be-
tween the number Of producers and
consumers cannot be maintained, the
fertility Of the soil, the source Of all
true national wealth and strength,
cannot be conserved, and such agri-
cultural states as Texas cannot pro-
cure their just share of the nations
accommodating wealth.
The constant loss Of soil fertility,
the tide of population moving from
the country to the towns, the ever de-
creasing margin between the supply
Of life-susta staining elements and the
demand for them, make this not
matter to be considered from the
standpoint Of the farmers interest

great national problems, urgently de-
handing the earnest consideration Of

vice which the humblest Of US can
