PRIMARY FOR POSTMASTER
IN MERIDIAN, MISSISSIPPI
Congressman WitherSpoon
viii Support Successful
Candidate for Place
Especial Dispatch to The JOurnal)

NSpeclal OlSpdtcn 10 Inc JOurnal.)
MERIDIAN. Miss, Dec. 21.-The
Democratic executive committee met
Saturday afternoon and after consider
able argument, with a scant margin of
one vote in the affirmative, adopted the
petitions asking for primaries on Janu-
airy is and % for the selecting of a
postmaster to serve Meridian until the
Democratic administration. The meeting
developed some interesting opposition,
which was only overcome by a tele-
gram from Congressman S. A. Wither-
spoon stating that if the Democratic
executive committee called for a pri-
mary and certified the results to him,
he would support the candidate for post
master chosen in the primary. So far
as is known, Meridian has taken the ini-
tiative in the election of a postmaster.
No election or primary to fill this Of
flee has ever been held before so far
as can be learned.

hundred miles by wagon road from

future development OF coal mining
will depend ON the demand created
by the settlers living In the region.

One Of the truths expressed at
the Salt Lake county convention
last week was this: The history OF
the republican party since ia Access
sion TO power IN the year 1850 has
been the history OF our country.
The republican party has met and
solved every national question that
has demanded solution during this
period OF more than half century.
IL has been and IN now. the party OF
progress. OF energy and OF power.
That which II concelycu to be right
II haa the courage To do. That
which Il believes Ia be for the
greatest good OF the greatest num-
Der OF people. Il has tho ability
to initiate and the strength TO car
~ To a successful conclusion. The
detection OF able republicans at DIFF
forent times In the history OF the
party served only TO show the In
nate strength OF the party and tho
stability OF the principles upon
which II has been founded, The
predictions OF its downfall have not
been fulfilled, Temporary reyeraea
have resulted only In the return OF
the party to power by maioritlca
greater than before"

THE HIGH COST on LIVING IL
WORLDWIDE.

Discussing the high cost OF liy-
ing. the national republican cam
paign book. Just issued. declares that
the problem Is not confined TO the
countries maintaining protective
tariff, but Is worldwide. Much of
the present cost of living Ii attrib-
uted TO the 80 per cent increase In
the gold supply OF the country IN
the last decade and the comparative.
ly small increase In the production
OF foodstuffs during period when
the oountry's population has grown
at a rapid rate.
The publication opens with the
speech OF acceptance OF President
Taft az the White HOUSE, August
llth, and follows with an exhaustive
discussion OF the tariff. the cost OF
living. a review of President Tafts
opposition to the attempt OF the
democratic house to force free trade
upon the country and pays much at
tention 10 the record OF the Taft
administration for successful prose
BUTTONS under the sherman anti
trust law.
Declaring the democratic policy
OF tariff for revenue only" means
the death OF all protection, the
book discusses the present need for
continued tariff protection and lays
the burden OF the campaign battle
on this subject. A compilation OF
the tariff planks OF both parties
from 1856 down TO the present cam
paign Is given.
The proposed recall OF the judi
clary Is deprecated and speeches OF
President Taft, Dr. Nicholas Murray
Butler and others against the
measure are quoted. Woodrow viii

grafton threat"

OF
CITY IS DEAD

C. A. Woodmansee, a pioneer citi-
zen of Grand Junction, and one OF
the veteran newspaper men of Col
orado, is dead in Greeley today. He
expired in the hospital at Greeley this
morning after long illness of tu-
berculosis.
His son. Carl Woodmansee, a pop
ular Rio Grande conductor, is in Sa-
Ida today but was apprised of the
news of his fathers demise by Mrs.
j. r. Falls, with whom he has made
his home since the death of his moth
er, / years ago.
Mr.. Woodmansee first came to
Grand Junction 22 years ago. He was
employed on the Daily Sentinel and
other local newspapers and number
ed among his close friends scores of
the newspapermen of the western
slope. Fifteen years ago he was
editor of the Sawpit Hummer, a
weekly published in Sawpit in San
Miguel county. when that locality
was at its height in the boom mining
days. He later published the Tellu-
ride Examiner at Telluride.
More recently he was in Denver.
Boulder. Evans and Miliken and was
employed at the latter place when
forced to leave off his work TO be con-
fined in the hospital
He was strong and virile writer,
an excellent workman and an optim-
istic, enthusiastic booster( for all
things good. He was loyal to his
friends, staunch in his denunciation
of the men and measures whom he
opposed. but always tempering the
bitterness of his attacks by the ten
derness of one who knew the frailty
of human character and the weak
ness of human impulses.
No arrangements have yet been
made for the funeral.

BUCKL|N NOT

The honor of being one OF the
founders of third party movement in
Colorado must have been far from
pleasing to James w. Bucklin of this
city. whose name was inscribed upon
the rolls of the incorporation of the
new party. Senator Bucklin has very
forcibly asked the committee in
charged in Denver to take his name
out of such proposition, that he
did not favor third party and that
he is Woodrow Wilson man.
The Denverites whose hearts are
humping with ambition for "polit-
ical suicide club are getting 1t in
the neck from all sections. They take
names of prominent men who have
not been approached and make them
members against their own will. Sen
ator Bucklin was never consulted,
