cratic national convention held here
today it was voted that as chairman
of the delegation ! advise you of their
unanimous opinion that Judge Alton
b. Parker OF New York, whose name
has been suggested for temporary
chairman of the convention, should not
be selected for that position, but that
the temporary chairman should be
some democrat whose record and af-
fliations align with the dominant pro-
gressive sentiment of the democratic
party and of the times. 1t is the ear.
nest wish of every member of the
Texas delegation that no reactionary
brand be put upon the convention at
the outset by the selection of re-
dictionary as its temporary chairman.
I'VE believe that any seeming ac-
quiescence on the part of the Texas
delegation in the selection of any one
other than known progressive demo
crat as temporary chairman would for
felt the confidence of those we repre-
sent in the sincerity of purpose of the
delegation. We therefore respectfully
and earnestly request that as national
committeeman from Texas you vote
against the selection of Judge Parker
and in accord with the views herein
expressed. Yours truly,
Gone Johnson,
Chairman Texas Delegation"
Colonel Johnston's reply to the
committee, given out later in the day,

AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC
STOVES ON EXHIBITION

The climax of freedom from
cooking drudgery would seem TO
have been reached in the Copeman
automatic electric cook stove now
being demonstrated in the Detroit
agency Of the Copeman company, at
No 20 John R-st.
These wonderful helps to the ina
chinery of the household are aptly
called "the silent servant" The
stoves are on the principle OF the
fireless cooker, and are automatic in
their operation, so that, as In the
fireless cookers, the food continues
to cook without the use of fuel after
q certain degree of heat has been
attained. A clock attachment 10 the
Copeman stove automatically closes
the current, so that there is no waste
of electricity.
The stoves are made In three
sizes, single, double and triple COM
partments, and are built of oak, as
bestos, aluminium and nickel. No
metal comes in contact with the
wood, through perfect system of
insulation, and air space, and when
in operation the stove radiators no
more heat in the room than an in
candescent lamp. The firms repre-
sentatives in charge of the Detroit
agency invite every householder in
the city to visit the shop at No. 20
John R-st., and thoroughly examine
the stoves, which are In practical
demonstration all Ct the time.

PERE MARQUETTE MUST
HEED NEEDS OF PATRONS.
Commissioner Glasgow Calls
Erb's Criticisms Unjust and
Makes Hot Reply

LANSING, Mich, April 24--Chair
man c. l.. Glasgow, of the state rail-
road commission, in a letter written
today to Newman Erb, one of the re
ceiyers OF the Pere Marquette, de
clared that the criticisms passed by
the Pere Marquette official on the
members OF the commission were un
Just and without foundation.
The chairman of the commission
declared that the proposition OF the
Pere Marquette TO increase its bonded
debt TO the extent OF $1,25O,000 was
given more careful consideration than
any proposition that has been before
that board since its organization.
Chairman Glasgow's statement fol
lows:
you state that ordinarily you pay
little attention 10 press statements OF
the character referred to In your let
ter, as attributed to me, and In reply
must say that you evidently expect
the commission to do the same, other.
wise they might very properly demon
mate some of the statements claimed
TO have been made by you as very un-
wise and ill-timed, especially in view
OF the new relation you are to sustain
to the business interests OF Michigan
through your connection with one OF
its most important transportation
lines.
II wish most sincerely TO assure you
and your associates that no question
has been presented to the commission
since its creation that has received
greater consideration from every an.
gle than the one you accuse that body
OF treating lightly, not only the inter
ests of nonresident security holders.
but the yet greater and more import
ant one, OF the business interests or
Michigan, and especially that portion
depending solely on the p. NJ. rail-
road for transportation facilities.
Your statement that the action OF
the commission has forced upon the
security holders an unnecessary bur
den OF over a million dollars is accept
ed as representing your idea OF what
such receivership may cost, and We
appreciate that such action may cause
cal pain TO the present security hold
ers from the fact that such necessary
expenses we hope will represent 100
cents on the dollar, honestly expend-
ed for the benefit OF the property, and
not be charged UP at the discount rate
of 100000 in securities for $4,000
900 in cash furnished
1--WE certainly will deeply regret
the result II receivership, honestly
administered, shall disturb the value
OF the p. M. r. r. Co. more than
the peculiar experiences to which 1t
has been subjected since 1899. Mr..
Erb, we cannot make ourselves be-

The Electric Railway.

IS AhSSSAhS Nail
Tuesday there wsre two electric
railroad proposition submitted to
tho Town Council, both submit
tod a numsrously signed petition
requesting tho Council to order
an election. The Council after
listening to both sides decided to
take tho matter under advissment
and 10 submit the matter for legal
advise.
Both petitions showed that our
people are largely in favor of the
electric railroad and would like to
vote for the Company Offering the
best assurance that tho road would
be built at once, but under pre-
sent conditions opinions differ and
may cause tho defeat of both taxes
and the railroad be lost to st. Mar
tinville, which would be worry un-
fortunate.
Upon the face Of the petitions,
We would DO incline to the belief
that it would DO the duty of the
Council to submit both PROPOSE
tions to tho voters for their deci-
sion, but at the Same time the
Barrow petition which was signed
several months ago and not acted
upon until the proposition of Mr..
Crosby representing the Company
now operating the road between
New Iberia and Jeanerette enter
ed this field, came in and presen-
ted said petition aud asking tho
Council to call the election.
The proposition Of Mr.. Crosby
to us looks the most business. like
he comes to us, asked q tax to
raise bonus of $4,000 and tells
Us he 10 representing a Company
already in that line of business
having constructed and now opsr-
sting an electric railroad between
New Iberia and Jeaneretts and
tells Us his Company intends to
commence building the road at
once.
We are of the opinion that our
best interest are in tho proposition
of Mr.. Crosby and We believe our
psople should come to that con-
cluslon and give their efforts to
the voting of the tax.
II We divide our support, and
take seperate views it is possible
that both will DO defeated and the
loss will be ours like In the cnse
Of the Frisco. We want tho cleo.
trio railway and We should make
no mistake, We should favor the
project that seems the most fea.
sible.
