gov, WILSON HAS STRONG
FOLLOWING IN WISCONSIN
Democratic Leaders Say Sub
stantial Majority Favor Him
as Presidential Nominee.

MADISON. Wis, Dec. l3.-Demo-
Gratis are intensely interested in the
presidential primary. which will In
dicate the preference of the followers
Of that party regarding the relative
standing OF the Democrats who are
now being talked about.
Little doubt is expressed among the
Democratic leaders of the state that
n substantial majority OF the Demo
Gratis of the state will cast their
votes for Gov. Woodrow Wilson, OF
New Jersey, with Gov. Harm--, OF
Ohio, second choice and William Ran
dolph Hearst bringing up the tail or
the procession.
Little or no work of organizing the
Wilson sentiment in the state has
been done. His popularity seems TO
be due solely 10 the fact thY the ma
jeFits Of the Democrats regard him
as the most available man to nom
mate. They have followed his career
as governor of New Jersey with close
attention and interest. and all Of the
state leaders exhibit a surprising ia
miliarity with his literary works and
his political speeches.

"WOLF' WE|CHERS MUST

Pardon Board Heeds Storm of
Protest and Will Keep Him

JACKSON, Mich, Dec. 1S.-Stating
that the members have information
now which they did not have when
the parole was granted recently, the
board OF pardons last night rescinded
i.s action and decided that Wolf

the board that Weichers should not
be given his freedom. II yas claimed
that Mr. Van Zile had been asked
for information previously, but had
referred the members TO the new
prosecuting attorney, and the informa-
ton consequently was never received
because the new official was not
familiar with the case.
The proposal to parole Weichers
caused storm of protast and brought
forth an intimation that perhaps some
pull was back of the plan, but a mem
Der denied this. saying II the board
had the information which il now pos
sesses the action would never have
been taken.
But II is naturally presumed that
the pardon board had full knowledge
of Weichers' history. The trial judge.

quired TO forward with the commit

any remarks he may wish TO make.
Judge Connolly. in reviewing the
case. the files of which are now in

SHERWOOD PENSION
BILL PASSES HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Dec. l3.-The Sher'
wood service pension bill, when
would add upwards OF st0,000,0O0 TO
the government annual expenditures
by granting increased pensions 10
civil and Mexican war veterans on the
basis of length Of service was passed
by the house last night, despite the
determined opposition OF many Dem
ocratic leaders. Secretary Of the In
terror Fisher had estimated that the
bill would add s75,OO0.000 TO the pen
sion roll if the 100000 veterans elig-
ible take advantage OF the increased
wage.

where there is disposition TO pass
some form OF amended service pen
sion legislation. Senate leaders, how
ever, will proceed slowly in the con-
sideration of this legislation and
many house Democrats voted for the
measure in the belief that the SEN

The Sulloway age pension bill,
passed by the house last spring, failed
OF passage in the senate at that time.
This Republican measure was Of
fered unsuccessfully in the house as
a substitute for the Sherwood bill.

and hard but unsuccessful fight was
made TO have a straight 81 a day pen
sion bill established without regard
TO length OF service OF the veterans.

the following basis of-pen3ions:

AID, BURTON FAILS IN
ATTEMPT TO AMEND THE
THOMPSON ORDINANCE
Franchise Measure Passes Third
Reading in the Council
Without Change.
LAID ON TABLE AGAIN.
Planned To Have 1t Submitted
at Same Time as Gin
nan Amendment.
LAID ON TABLE AGAIN.

Aid Charles Burton. OF the Second
ward, put up vigorous but vain
fight In the common council, Tuesday
night. TO amend the Thompson street
car ordinance. On several OF the pro-
posed amendments he had the sup
port OF nine colleagues. but the ma
jorty of the aldermen felt that, In
view OF Mayor Thompson.s statement
before the franchise committee, IL
was idle TO attempt any changes. The
mayor had given the committee TO un-
derstand that the company would not
agree TO any changes and that the
ordinance must be submitted as 1t
stands.
When the ordinance had passed the
order OF third reading, without
amendment, Aid Harpfer. chairman
OF the franchise committee, moved
that IL be again laid on the table
and the motion prevailed. Later he
put through a resolution, in accord
ance with the program announced
Tuesday, instructing the committee on
2ad city and charter legis-
lation 10 get together for the pur-
pose OF fixing a date for the submis-
ship amendment and the Thompson
ordinance TO the people.
Aid. Gilman. father OF the Gilman
charter amendment intimates that ne
will make fight before the commit
tees To have his plan submitted first
and wholly independent OF the Thomp-
son plan. Aid. Burton says he will In
troduce a resolution. when the coun'
ell orders the special election, TO the
effect that the councils action In sub
hitting the ordinance must not be
construed as an Endorsement OF the
measure In other words, he wants
the public 10 understand that the
council is submitting the plan merely
at the request OF the mayor, TO give
the people an opportunity TO pass
Judgment on II.
The objections raised by Aid. Bur
ton, and which he sought TO correct
by amendments, are the same objec-
tions. for the most part. that We're
raised before the committee and N
the newspapers; that Is, the newspa-
pers that are printing both sides. The
alderman arrived at the council meet
ing Just In time. Aid. Harpfer was
on the floor movi. 2 that the ordinance
he considered read. when Burton en-
tered.
1T object" he shouted as he walked
down the aisle toward his seat, where
al several aldermen showed disgust.
They had hoped to rush the thing
through without taking up n lot oi
time in what they considered useless
discussion. Burton persisted, how
ever. Clerk Gadd proceeded to read
the ordinance. When he had finished
