JOLINE LETTER In FIGURING
Vicious Assaults Made on the Jer-

Though Nominated.
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. T.-
During the past few days the coun-
try has been flooded with letters and
literature favoring a certain one of
the democratic candidates for the
presidency and viciously assailing
Governor woodrow Wilson. Most Of
tie literature is benng distributed
anonymously from Washington DEM
ocratic members of congress who
are on the mailing list have been
amazed at the audacity of those be-
hind this well CREASED and systemat-
ic movement to boost one of the Pres
idenlial candidates and assault an
other. The agency that is distribut-
ing this literature is. the busiest and
ulost active in Washington, and its
operations are plainly costing thous-
ands of dollars. Nothing like it has
ever before been attempted in the his
tory Of Presidential politics.
Of this anonymous literature a
facsimile copy of the famous .Ioline
letter is featured. OF course there
is no mention Of the fact that Mr. Jo-
line was an attorney for and associat-
ed with Thomas F. Ryan, but attach
ed to the facsimile is mote" which
bitterly assails Governor Wilson and
urges the nomination of one of the
other democratic candidates for the
presidency. Another of these anony-
nous anti-Wilson documents is ad-
dressed to members or the house, and
purports to be an appeal OF North
e:n democrat in behalf of certain
one OF the other presidential candi-
dates. This, like the other contribu-
tions, assaults Gov. Wilson and posi-
lively aserts that William J. Bryan
will not support him if nominated.
There is nothing on the enclosures
or the enevlopes in which they are
mailed to indicate from what source
they came. Yet another of these
anti-Wilson pieces of literature that
IS being so widely circulated IS in
tie form OF an eight page printed let
ter from George Fred Williams. It
also espouses the cause Of one o. the
other candidates.
Every assault-and there have been
a great number of them that. have
been made on the New Jersey Execu-
tive during the past few months
has served to raise him in public es-
TEEN. These attacks which are be-
ing made anonymously through the
mails show that the agencies putting
them out are most generously financ-
ed. II is the same old opposition
manlfestiEg itself in a new way. The
public has not been slow to detect
the hanss of the Johnes, the Ryans,
etc, that have arrayed themselves so
vigorously against Gov. Wilson.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Feb. 2S.-
Just prior to the meeting here today
of the independent state democratic
committee, chaos seems to reign
among the politicians. It seems GER
tain that the meeting will be heated
Two factions appear in the indie
p ndent ranks One faction doesn't
endorse what has been done toward
harmony and is strengthened in it's
position by reports brought by men,
bers Of the legislature here today
fresh from the people. They want to
stick by principles, which resulted
which resulted in the original organi-
2 tion Of the Independent movement,
and see no good in endeavoring to
maintain harmony while these ques-
tons remain yet unsettled. They
want to maintain their organization
and it may be that the committee
will split.
Other factions want party harmony
on fair basis and may submit a
proposition to the regulars to modify
the present harmony plan, to throw
away the present plan except that
portion providing for the primary,
leaving all else to the primary board
,r to provide for committee Of fifty,
hale from each faction, this commit
tee to call state convention to NOM
inte Judges, name delegates to the
national convention and settle con-
1gressional matters through prima-
ries. They desire to separate nation
al and state issues and keep the judi
cary out of politics.
Nothing has come from the regular
committeeman and nothing is likely
TO come unless communication is ad-
dressed to Chairman Vertrees, asking
him to call his committee for consid-
GRAFTON Of additional harmony plans.
The independent democratic state
committee met today at noon with
good attendance of members and
adopted resolutions providing for sub
committee to consider the letter n.
celyed from Messrs. Thompson, Ew-

for construction Of state primary plan

Cardinal Repond put 'em into
plain, servicable khaki uniforms,
ordered lot of modern Mauser
rifles and appointed his cousin,
Pietro Chosen, chief of staff.
Chosen has the modern idea,
too. He marched the guards up
hill and down dale, transforming
the Belvedereicourt of the vatican
into veritable field of Mars. The
guards charged and skirmished,
deployed, advanced and retreated.
For hours daily they drilled and
sweated. Some of them had done
nothing more active in 30 years
thanto kneel and draw their sal

Pope Plus and scores Of other
church dignitaries daily watched
the drilling, with keen enjoyment
OF the astounding maneuVers OF

the Swiss guard didn't enjoy it
a bit. Y

just what he thought about this
drill idea, Chosen sent him to
