FEASTS TO END
AT COUNTY JAIL
Sheriff B~ollschWeiIer issues
Orders to That Effect.

-.
New Brunswick, Jan. 2~o.--SherlH
IBollschwefier has given orders That
thereafter prisoners confined In the
county jail shall not be allowed TO
receive their meals from anyone but
jail Warden Donomores and that
nothing shall be given them by Wis
aitors excepting tobacco.
This order WIS made because OF
the growing practice OF friends OF
those confined In the jail bringing
hampers OF eatables to the place and
passing them In. There have been
several cases where 1t was suspect
led that whfskey had been concealed
In these hampers. Once an inno-
~cent-looking loaf OF bread was found
to contain a bottle OF whiskey of
somewhat questionable quality.
The sheriff's Idea OF the matter is
that the men lodged In jail are not
there to be pampered, and that there
is no reason why one should be al
lowed to receive better fare than an
lother. IL a prisoner fs there await
ing trial and wants something bet
ter than the jail fare, he must order
1t through the jail authorities here
after. 4As MsS.s@s

ARE LINING UP
BEHIND WILSON


Washington, Jan. 2~0:--SenatoF
Gore, the blind senator, who Is maxi
ing a fight for the selection of dele
able to the candidacy of Governor
Woodrow Wilson. believes that his
State win send a Wilson delegation
to Baltimore.
"a large percentage OF the pro-
gressive Republicans in the West
prefer Wilson to Taft" said Senator
Gore. s"The Jackson Day banquet
was a political melting pot into which
the ideas and views from every
State were cast. and ont OF which
came a golden prospect for Governor
Wilson's noTaination and election.
1t is reported that 80 OF the 81 ma
tional committeeman are favorable
to Wilson. This, to nay mind, is an
index to the popular sentiment and
preference everywhere. The friendly
attitude OF Mr.. Bryan toward Mr..
Wilson was made manifest. More
minds united In the support of Will
son than any other candidate. His
fitness Is above challenge. Fits avail
ability is superior to that OF any
or all other candidates. He is pro-
gressdve enough to command support
of the Bryan following, and is not
SO radical as to ALLEVIATE amy true
disciple of Jeffersonian Democracy.
TN 1904 the Democracy OF okla
homa instructed its delegation to co..
operate with those friendly to Mr..
Bryan. However, the delegation dis
regarded these Instructions. We
want NO anti-Bryan men In Bryanss
clothing, no Harmon mel In other
mems clothing. II such thing
should be attempted 1t must be done
oye my protest. I make this Meth
er as a charge MOI as a threat--mere-
iy as q warming. Let every man win
Or lose in the open. Democracy cam

Wilson Men In Ohio.
According to Congressman John J..
Whitacre, of Ohio, the fight for VIII
0 delegates against Harmon will
be carried Into every ditriet in the
Buckeye state. Since the Congress
man issued his statement that Gov
ernor Harmon would be the weakest
candidate for the Presidency that
the Democrats could nominate and
4 let it be known that he himself
favored Governor Wilson, Whitacre
has been looked upon rs the real, IL
not the ~titular, leader of the Wilson
forces In Ohio. He had d conference
with Governor Wilson when the lat
ter was in Washington for the Jack
son day dinner, and 1T is assumed
that he speaks by the book when he
tells of the fight that Is to be made
against Harmon.
There is not q district in the
State that they will not have to fight
for" said Mr.. Whitacre, referring to
the Harmon forces. Governor VIII
sons friends will have candidates
for delegates in every district, and
they are preparing for an agrees
sive organized contest"
Mr.. Whitacre supplemented this
with the prediction that the Wilson
people will capture a majority of the
Ohio delegates 10 the Democratic
Convention.
