MEN
CLAIM OHIO
Wilson's Supporters Will
Fight the Unit Rule.

Toledo, O., June "a fight to the
finish on the unit rule proposition, with
Governor Harmou's hackers having a
slight advantage over the anti-Hnr-
mon men, is inevitable at today's SEES
sion Of the Democratic state conven-
ton which opened here. The Har-
mon forces elected the majority of the
members Of the various committees
and defeated Senator Pomerine for
permanent chairman of the conyen-
ton because he persisted in opposing
the unit rule.
George &. Long, Governor Harmon's
secretary, who acted as temporary
chairman and delivered the keynote
speech, was made permanent chair
nan by the committee on permanent
organization.
Harmon leaders are jubilant and Is
sued a statement saying In part:
"Harmon's opposing forces having
been put completely to rout, Governor
Judson Harmon will absolutely doml-
nate the Democratic state convention
tomorrow. The way is now clear for
the sending to Baltimore of the solid
delegation of forty-eight who Will cast
their vote as a unit for Governor Har-
mon"
The Wilson men, headed by Mayor
Newton Baker, will fight the unit rule
en- the floor of the convention to the
last ditch, and a hot time is a~nticipat-
ed. Congressman Cox of Dayton will
likely be nominated governor en- the
first ballot.

Washington, June J:-Friends OF
John E. Wilkie, chief of the secret
service, are back of a plan to make
him the head of all the detective
work done by the government. If
this Is done Wilkie will have insight
into all the prosecutions against
corporations undertaken by the gov
eminent. At present Wilkes actiy-
tiles are only with the treasury de-
partment service, which hunts down
the counterfeiters and other crooks
of like character, and the secret
customs police. The extension of
Wilkes power to the customs SER
vice, giving him charge of the gath
ering Of evidence against smugglers
and others who violate the 1mporta-
ton laws, was made about eighteen
months ago.

A CHEERING LETTER FROM A
GOOD LADY FRIEND.

Dear Mr.. Watson: I am so sorry
to know that you have been so badly
mistreated and it is with sadness and
heaviness of heart that I pen you
this letter of sympathy May God be
with you and deliver you out of the
hands of your or our enemies, is the
prayer that will be offered up in be-
half of one that / strongly believe
that God has given to His people.
We received The Jeffersonian this
morning and have read the chapter
referred to and also the 9th and
39th; the 38th chapter could be left
out, for it reads better without it.
You are right, and all you have to
do is to look to our Heavenly
Father in the future as you have
always done in the past. I am taking
the Christian Index and Mr.. Bond
wants me to make them stop sending
it, but as have paid for it 1 will let
them send it on till my time is up;
besides, like to read papers that
differ from my views, then I can
keep up. I received the Constitution
and Bylaws for the Woman's Aux
iliary, G. of L., but have been IN
Alabama for two weeks and just ar
TlVed nome IueSday, so nave not mad
the chance to see but one woman, yet
am SO anxious to get to work at it.
I trust you will come out victorious
in your troubles, and that you will
be at your post of duty, sending your
papers on to the people that so anx-
iously await their coming every
week.
Give Mrs. Watson my love and
sympathy,
MRS. M. l.. BOND,

FROM A LONGTIME FRIEND.

Dear Sir: I have followed your
pen since you first published the
Peoples Party paper, and I know
that your courage will not fail YOU
in the bout you are now having with
the emmissaries of the Roman Papa.
/ believe they mean to shut your
mouth if they have to take your life
to do it. 1 trust you will take care
OF yourself, as I know of no one
who could make this fight as you
are making it. You are in a great
fight and trust you may be able to
keep it up on a high plane. Keep
your hat in the ring, keep your head
cool, and be prudent in all you pub
lish; don't make. any breaks. Also,
you are everlastingly right on the
mission question, and you are doing
us a great service in giving us the
other side Of this question You are
the tribune of the people, who are
now praying and hoping for your
continued success and prosperity.
Your friend,

Dear Sir: 1t is with no little sat
lsfaction that / note the turn of
events in your case before the u. S.
Court. Your sincere friends, like
myself, must have felt more or less
uneasy respecting the charge made
against you. Now, however, l think
1t may not only prove a boomerang,
but otherwise it will certainly inflict
wound on Romanism, and prove
also a powerful reinforcement to the
cause of American freedom. Now

AGAIN REGISTERS HIMSELF AS
FRIEND

My Dear Mr.. Watson: I wish to
again register myself as your
friend, and to assure you that / am
with you, in your fight for free
speech and an untrammeIIed press.
Conditions are bad enough now. but
should the powers that be, succeed
IN muzzling the press of this country.
the Lord alone can tell where it will
lead to. Corruption and wrong
doing will sweep over our land, as a
whitening Simeon, blighting. de-
stroy1ng and overriding whatever of
good there may be. | pray it NAV
never come. I trust and believe that
in your defense of yourself you will
be enabled to more fully disclose the
rottenness of the things that you
have been fighting, and that it will
give you the opportunity to show
them up IN all their deformity.
confidently expect this attack to
prove a god-send to you, and to be
the means of opening the eyes of the
people to the great work that you are
doing, as they have never been
opened before. Already L see manv
who have heretofore misunderstood
you, and who have stood aloof from
you, realizing the righteousness of
your course, are being drawn to YOU
by the irresistible force of right.
You are being made to suffer for
truths sake, and the better 1udg-
ment of the people of this country

AMERICAN PROTEsTANTS NOT
READY TO ALLOW PATRIOTS
TO BE SACRIFICED.

Dear Sir: I don't believe that the
infamous scoundrels who are the in
stlgators of the procedures in the
Federal courts against you, will sue
coed in their malicious efforts to
prosecute you, for American Protest
ants are not ready to allow one of
her patriots to be sacrificed in order
to appease the wrath and the dam
nable demands of the Roman Cath
olics, and their cowardIy cohorts.
Every American Protestant should
stand by you to the finish, and ev-
cry one, who is not coward, or who
is ignorant of the dangers of the
Roman Catholicism, will do so. Ev-
cry man, woman and child who can
read at all, should read your articles
on the Roman Catholic Hierarchy in
your Magazine.

BATTLE.
Dear Sir: | am sending you one
dollar for you to use in fighting the
great battle now on between Pro-
testantism and Roman Catholicism.
AS the leader in this great movement,

NOT SURPRISED AT ARREST.
Millen, Ga.

Dear Thomas: 1 have been read
ing and hearing Of your arrest. I
cannot say / am surprised, as we
have all learned that when the
wicked ruleth, the righteous mourn
eth. If the wicked are not ruling
at present, this attempt on their
part will show it. If they find you
are guilty we must confess they
rule. If not, we will be extremely
glad to say there is some hope yet
for America Should they be so
wicked and unwise as to find YOU
guilty, then my own, together with
tens of thousands of your other
friends money is to pay the fine.
But should the American people
make such a mistake it will ever be
dark spot in American history;
then God help our children will be
the prayers of all good people. God
help you to rule the wicked and un-
just. w. J. WILLIAMS.

OPPOSED TO ROMAN

HIERARCHY.

My Dear Sir: l have kept up
closely with the public prints con-
corning the Governments action
concerning your articles in the
May isue, and l trust that I
am better informed on the evils
of Rome than thousands Of others
who have even gone SO far as to
travel around the world I hold
myself as being an American citizen,
and as such, am opposed to the
Hierarchy, knowing that it is both
unscrlptural and un-American in
every detail | for one am in favor
OF such proceedings in this country
as will bring forth every single one
Of their Service Books" for such
procedure will convince every reader
that there is something rotten in
Denmark" There is too much
church advertising in moving pic
lures, and Of course the greater part
of it is Roman Catholic. The
church advertising of all kinds
should be stopped at once. If there
is anything in the Bible it is an as
sured fact that Pope Plus is the head
of Anti-Christ
[ hope some day to be of service
to my people and my country in that
I may be able to help turn on the
light that will take away the cob
webs and later destroy the power
that even seems to control the capt.
tai of the nation. If you could take
the Irish people in this country, and
those who have Irish blood in their
veins, like myself, and convince them
Of the rottenness of the system they
would most assuredly turn upon
their own leaders, and, if they did
not deal harshly with them, they
would make the situation so I'M
pleasant that the Hierarchy's lieu
tenants in this country would seek
other parts of the earth. Just think
Of nation as intelligent as the
Irish, as generous as they are, fol-
lowing the lead Of spaghetti vend-
ers! Two hundred and nine popes
have been furnished by italy Think
of that; and none of them have ever
had any good will towards this ma
ton except to conquer it and finally
to sink it like they have other
countries.
Religious arguments as such do
very little good. 1t is simply the
citizenship of this country against an
order, for, most assuredly, the order
has no Scriptural foundation, being
fabric Of perversion, tradition, SUI
perstition and invention, and of later
years it has all been invention
Long live the principles Of the i'm
mortal Thomas Jefferson, and may
the nation realize that he was right.
Religious tolerance refers to Chris
tian churches. Catholicism does not
come in this category, SO let the ma
ton proceed to enlighten it's people
and preserve their rights inviolate
A prosecution will not hurt you, and
besides, it will awaken the spirit of
Investigation which anti-Christ does
not court.
Respectfully yours,

Met by a crowd of anxious friends.
thirty-two young Chinese men and wom-
ent. sent to American universities by the
Kwang-tung state government, arrived
here yesterday from Seattle. They were
due few days ago, but change OF

possible embarrassment by sailing for Sc

treated" said one Of the young men.
The thirty-two represent the Kwang-
tung quota Of the annual hundred Of stu
dents sent from China whose expenses
are betrayed out of the remission by the
American government Of sl4.0000O0 or
the Boxer indemnity. Instead OF being
nominated by the central government, the
Indemnity students" az they are called,
are selected by the various provincial
governments. their number in ratio with
the amount Of the indemnity each prov
ince bears.
Among them are two young women who
are to specialize in educating their sisters

In the Teachers College, Of Columbia Uni
versity. The majority Of the men will
study engineering at Columbia and few
will go to the Massachusetts Institute Of
Technology TO learn shipbuilding. All Of
the students have been graduated from
Chinese colleges.
