DEMOCRATS WANT THE JOBS

On Tuesday President TAFT sent
more than two hundred recess ap-
pointments to the Senate and imme-
diately there were indications OF
movement among some Of the Demo
cratic Senators to block" the ap-
nointments and hold the jobs open
until after the fourth OF March 30
President Wilson can name his sup
porters for the Jobs. The Democratic
Senators claim that President Taft
has already deprived the Democrats
of the privilege of appointing 5o'ooo
fourth-class postmasters by recent
order of the President placing them
under the civil service. In addition to
holding up all appointments, the
Democrats will ask President Wilson
to abolish the civil service rules, al
least as it applies to the fourth-ciass
postmaster, so that the township pol
iticians may be rewarded.
A Washington dispatch announces
that Senator Gore will lead the Dem
ocratic fight to hold up all OF Mr.
Taft's appointments. However, I'M
less two or three of the Progressive
Senators coincide with the Democrat
r. view Senator Gore will not be able
to carry out his program.

Trouble in Scotland.

Aberdeen, Scotland, Nov. 30
Militant suffra gettes to-day brought
about two scenes of extreme violence,
in which women's shoes and a horse
whip played a part. The first out
break occurred when three women,
Joyce Locke, Fannie Parker, and
Mary Pollock, who were caught last
night in possession of explosives in a
music hall where Chancellor Lloyd
George was to speak, were brought
before a magistrate.
After hearing the evidence, the
magistrate demanded the women for
further inquiry. AS he informed them
of this, Joyce Locke removed her
shoes and hurled one at the head
of the Clerk Of the Court She was
promptly committed for contempt of
court.
The second outbreak was commit
ted by a member of a party of suf-
fragettes awaiting at the railroad
station for the chancellor's depart
ure. The women mistook Rev. Forbes
Jackson for the Chancellor of the
Exchequer in disguise, and dashed
him across the face with a heavy
horsewhip. She was arrested.

DEMOCRATS BADLY DIVIDED.

Our Washington letter this week
announces that the Democratic breth-
rem in Congress are not dwelling to-
gether in harmony. The letter states
that since the assembling of Congress
it is more evident than ever that the
Democrats in both Houses are more
divided than ever before on every
public question that was an issue
during the last campaign.
1t appears that they are not united
on any plan or policy and the indi-
cations are that instead of coming to-
gether and agreeing on some funda-
mental plan, that they will get wider
and wider apart.
During the campaign the Demo
Gratis tried to make the public believe
that they knew all about the tariff
and were just ready to enact a bill
to remedy all evils if the country
would only place them in power.
However, since getting to Washing
ton the Democratic leaders have
shown that they are in a quandary
over the question and are ready to
shift the responsibility.
House Leader Underwood stated
he will not make any plans for revis-
ing the tariff until he gets Presi-
dent Wilson's views on the question,
while other Democratic leaders in the
House want to shift the responsibility
on the Senate
At present all measures for produc-
ing revenue must originate in the
House, and it would be necessary for
Congress to first make a change in
the rules governing Congress before
any revenue measures could first be
taken up in the Senate.
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
wants the House and the Senate to
share the responsibility in framing
the new tariff bill.
1t is very evident that the Demo
Gratis don't know what they want to
do, or ether they are afraid of their
program.

Thought Her Voice Shocked Him.
i National MONTHLY

A man in North Carolina lived with
his wife for seven years, and during
that time he came to have a very
healthy regard for her physical SUI
periority. After meekly submitting
to all the kicking and cutting that he
could stand, he left home and took
up his residence at the home of a
farmer about seven miles distant.
One day he was working in the
field when his employer brought him
the message that some one wanted to
speak with him over the telephone,
presumably his wife. He didn't dis
obey the authority of the woman,
even at a distance, and he hurried to
answer the call.
He had no experience with the tele-
phone, and it was with wonder and
hesitation that he picked up the re-
ceiver. About that time lightning
struck the line and the shock threw
him to the floor.
Arising from the floor with a look
of amazement, and with a dubious
look at the instrument, he said soft
ly: .'II be dog-goned if itw asn't
her!"

1t Is rumored that a goodly num-

to show Governor Locke Craig why
they should be appointed directors OF
one of North Cardinals railroads.
The successful applicants will not get

to them, and 1t Is rumored that there
are many Democrats who are anxious

Looking Ahead for the Nomination
I'm 1915 and Speakers Friends
Already Active and VIII Watch

A Washington dispatch. November
30th. says:
Speaker Champ Clark. who called
at the White House to-day. may have
been looking the place over with q
view TO certain Improvements he ex-
poets to suggest after March 4. 1917.
Speaker Clark's close friends here say
that he will be q candidate for the

continues In health. He has never
been entirely satisfied with the out
come at Baltimore. On repeated bal
lots there he had a majority of the
the vote, but could not attain the re-
quired two-thirds.
Speaker Clark's Presidential boom
Is not likely to be heard from very
often until after he Is reelected
Speaker next April. There Is no dis
position apparently to deprive him
OF unanimous denomination as Speak
er by the Democrats. In becoming a
candidate Mr.. Clark, SO some OF his
close friends here say, will assume
that the one term resolution will pre-
vent President-elect Wilson from
seeking the nomination.
They admit that Governor Wilson
did not write the plank nor has he
ever specifically agreed to be bound
by it. The plank was put into the
platform at the instance Of William ]
Bryan, who is slated for Secretary OF
State in the new Cabinet, and who
the Clerk Democrats expect to be-
come a candidate himself for the
1916 nomination.
Shortly after the Speaker resumes
the gavel in the new Congress his or
ganization will start the work. There
is every reason to believe this has all
been carefully planned. Some of the
politicians here associate the pres
ence in Washington at this time OF
