Asserts That the People Are Tired Of

ested in Principles. Not Men.

Chicago. Feb. 12.-Woodrow Will
son fired the opening gun in the cam
paign for the Democratic presidential
nomination in the central states, in an
address delivered today before the
Iroquois club. reiterating his belief in
the initiative and referendum, and
predicting a Democratic victory at the
polls in November.
Six hundred representative citizens
attended the Lincoln birthday lunch
con at which Governor Wilson was
the guest Of honor.
He declared he never favored the
recall of Judges because they are not
administrative officers of the govern
ment. They simply interpret and en-
force the law, he said. To urge the
recall Of the Judges is tn treat a
symptom rather than the disease, he
contended. He asserted the belief
that the people were dissatisfied with
the Republican management of the
nations affairs. He said the people
desire a change.
II think people are more interested
in principles than in persons in this
years presidential campaign" he
said.

II find that public sentiment in the
east-in New York. in Pennsylvania

Roosevelt as 1t Is out in Kansas" he
said. "The sentiment Is there, but the
people have not had the same oppor.
tunity for expression as the people OF
the west. Why, do you know, one poll
that was taken in Pittsburg, down
among the working people. was fifty
to one for Roosevelt. We couldn't
beat that out in Kansas.
"It has come about because big
business has accepted the idea Of reg.
ulation. A few years ago the inter
ests' believed they could stamp out
the popular demand for regulation. II
was Roosevelt on on hand and no reg.

Roosevelt and no regulation. But
they couldn't stamp 1t out.
'"They realize that regulation of cor.

they turn now to Roosevelt because
they recognize his honesty. ability and
world grasp of affairs. If they must

from man Of proved ability and rec,
ognized honesty. A big railroad mar

New York harbor today was about
as nearly ice-bound as 1t ever gets.
The surface of the bay was thick with
heavy ice foes and navigation was
extremely difficult Port officers had
sells. Huge blocks of ice piled up on
the shores as the tide receded. Liners
were docked with difficulty and fer
ry boats on all sides Of Manhattan
were demoralized. The Long Island
sound entrance to the east river was

several hours to break through the
ice. The fishing smack was in dis

Suffering in the poorer quarters of

intense. Two deaths from the cold
and many cases of collapse from ex-

CAR FAMINE
Three Thousand Cars Needed for I'm.
mediate Use In the Northwest.

Minneapolis. Feb. 12.-Lack of
5000 freight cars for immediate use
in the northwest has caused a car
shortake of such serious aspect that
railway traffic men fear that it seri-
ously will affect business unless re-
lief comes soon. According to Presi-
dent Edmund Pennington of the 500
line, there are at least 10000 cars Of
the Great Northern, Northern Pacific
and 500 lines off their rails and in the
hands Of eastern and southern rail-
ways.
Appeals by the score are being re-
ceived from grain, potato and lumber
shippers for cars, and 1t is estimated
that from 1000 to $500 cars are need
ed ir Minnesota. northern Iowa and
Wisconsin, the Dakotas and Montana,
while 700 are desired in Minneapolis

RE|CKEO THREE
HUNDRED YEARS
Accepted the Terms Laid
Down by Revolutionaries
Without Change

Pekins. Feb. 1.-THE abdication Of
the throne Of China by the Manchu
dynasty was proclaimed by an imper-
ial edict issued at noon today.
Another edict declared the throne
accepted by the republic while q
third approved all the conditions
agreed upon by Premier Yuan Shi
Kai and the republicans.
Thus, after three centuries Of alb
solute rule, has the Manchu dynasty
yielded up its power. It was ex-
pected the Manchus would demand
conditions which would safeguard
many of the privileges. but according
to the proclamation, the surrender
Is unconditional.
1t is declared the step taken by
the throne was to meet the wishes Of
the people.
Today's abdication of the Chinese
throne by Pu VI. the child emperor.
brings to an end the powerful dynasty
which has reigned In China since
1914. The boy ruler had been on the
throne since Nov. IL. 1908. when the
emperor. Kwang Su died. His father,
Prince Chun. was appointed regent
and was the chief figure in China for
three years.
Surrounded by a large number OF
princes Of the imperial clan and Nam
chu officials with reactionary ideas.
the regent was brought face to face
with the revolutionary movement in
favor Of modern reforms. He endeav.
ored to placate both parties but ended
by causing general satisfaction which
led to his resignation December S,
last.
The promise of constitutional gov.
ernment made by the dowager EN-.
press on her deathbed in 1908 was
not fulfilled in any way until May Of
last year. In that month an imperial
edict abolished the grand old council,
which together with the court held
absolute power and substituted a con.
stitutionl cabinet.
The revolutionary ideas had been
spreading meantime and the southern
provinces declared against the contin-
uation OF the Manchu rule and broke
into open revolt. After much fight
ing the revoluuonists proclaimed
republic at Marking in December and
DR.. Sun Vat Sen acceptem the presi-
dency December 20. Negotiations be-
tween the republicans and the fmper-
'alists followed and an arm islice was
arranged. This was not strictly OBJ
served. but the negotiations continued
with the result that the Manchu ruiz
ers seeing that China proper was al
most entirely in favor of the republic
can idea. and the outlying dependen-
cies of Tibet, Turkestan. Mongolia and
Manchuria were breaking awav, de-
cided it was their best policy to yield
to popular demand and abdicate from
power.
