Nominee Honor.

Bridgeport. Conn, May 2-The fourteen
Democratic delegates for Connecticut will
enter the Baltimore convention instructed
to use every honorable effort TO effect the
nomination of Connecticut's governor and
veteran Jurist, Simeon E. Baldwin. to
head the Democratic national ticket.
When a motion to this effect came be-
fore the convention to-day an effort was
made to have supplementary instructions

should they find the Baldwin boom to
lack strength, should cast their strength
to Clark. A lively scrap was developing
on the floor OF the convention with every
indication OF its passage when Bryan
Mahan. mayor of New London, and one
of the delegates to the national conven-
tion. announced that he had authority
from the author OF the resolution to with
draw the name.
Representative Thomas l. Reilly's key
note" speech at the convention gave a
singularly forceful demonstration Of
Clark's popularity with the Connecticut
voters, however. He mentioned fve pos
mon, Wilson. and Underwood. The ap-
plause for Clark, with the exception Of
that for Gov. Baldwin, was the most pro-
nounced.
The convention closed with a dinner at
which 400 delegates and others cheered
speakers who declared Connecticut's pros
poets OF a Democratic sweep better than

GIVE UNDERWOOD
RECORD OVATION
Democrats and Republicans Join
Noisy Reception for House
Leader.

Oscar W. Underwood, Of Alabama,
whose Presidential candidacy was in
dorsed in the Georgia and Florida pri-
maries Wednesday, was accorded an ova-
ton in the House yesterday that was
marked by wild enthusiasm on the part
Of the Democrats and cordial good feel
ing on the part of the Republicans.
Twice in the course Of the days pro-
ceedings Mr.. Underwood was acclaimed.
Upon his appearance in the House a few
minutes after noon the House interrupted
a roll call TO applaud the Alabama man,
and the demonstration ran for nearly three
minutes. Later, when Mr.. Underwood
was called TO preside by Speaker Clark,
the House roared its applause for more
than ive minutes Gallery habltues
that ii has been years since a member
the House has received a reception
spontaneous and enthusiastic as tft
given TO Mr.. Underwood.
The Underwood boom is causing unea
ness in certain quarters in Washington.
II Is conceded by practically all Demo
cratic leaders that none OF the candi-
dates will go TO Baltimore with a SUM-
cient number Of delegates pledged to
nominate. As things now stand in the
Democratic party the belief prevails that
Mr. Underwood'S chances are excellent
Among the conservatives he Is regarded
as peculiarly we'll fitted to lead the party
this year.

thing to deter a thief is abundantly
proved by the respect of ownership of
the horse which prevails among even
the most lawless, The lessons of the
szcredness of ownership of a horse
were taught by rough people in a rough
way, but the lesson was well taught
And in the fullness of time it has come
about that a horse may stand hitched
in remote places and his owner is very
sure that he will find him there on his

But not so in regard to the automo-

slight regard for the automobile which
its owner leaves outside his cafe or

friends house while he makes a call.

His Majesty the Horse.

The human affection that is avished
upon the king of domestic animals, the
horse. continues unabated, and full hom-
age is being paid to him by the people.
The hold that the domestic animals,
particularly the horse, the dog, and the
cat, have upon the heartstrings of men
and women, almost universally, is one
of the mysteries of social life With
the advent of the automobile as a We
hiele of daily use, for pleasure as well
as for drsying purposes, it was freely
prophesied that the day of the horse
was past, just as it was as confidently
prophesied when the temerity of George
Stephenson introduced the locomotive.
The "horseless age" finds no place
now in the hearts and minds of those
who gather together to voice the praises
OF the faithful friend and intelligent
companion of man. So fast is this hold
that the humane societies exist but
for the criminal and the hireling, while
in every land the love of the horse is
as deeply ingrained as ever was the
affection of Alexander the Great for
Bucephalus, of the Bedouin of the des-
ert for his steed, or the graceless Dick
Turpin for his faithful mare Bess, who
aided his reckless adventures.
The auto. far from being regarded by
the lover of the horse as rival, is looked
upon as the greatest Of all agents in
relieving the horse of the drudgery and
emancipsting it from slavery. More is
being looked for in the way of applied
machinery to increase this emancipation
of the noblest of animals. There are
spheres of pleasure and usefulness with
which the horse is inseparably connect
ed in the minds of men which the au-
tomobiIe and its class will never sue
cessfully invade. The hunting field
will remain forever immune from the
encroachment of the auto, and the witch
cry and delight of horse and hounds
will be forever sacred in the very in
stincts of the race
1t is a fine trait in humanity that
draws the people to the admiration of
the horse. 1t is no fad, for fads
change and perish. As the years pass
it seems that the love and affection
that is 50 justly bestowed on the horse
increases, and keener delight is taken
by all in showing it 1t is one of the
glories of man that this unbroken bond
Of affection is to be traced since the
times when the eohippus roamed the
earth as the companion of the cave
man and the lake dwellers down to the
present day, with apparently increas-
ing fervor.

Trampling on the Flag.

The incident in New York City,
where crowd of people with anarch-
istic tendencies tore down and trampled
upon the national flag, carries with it a
lesson which should be emphasized. The
insult to the flag should not, however,
be charged against the Socialists, under
whose auspices the meeting was held.
All the evidence is to the effect that the
Socialists resented the interference of
the anarchists and fought to save the
flag from the assault made upon it.
We are likely to have repetition of
this occurrence as long as the minds of
the discontented and dangerous ele-
ments in our population are inhamed
by hsrangues which tend to disturb
the equilibrium of government 1t is
unfort ate that we should be con-
fronted in this country by a political
situation wherein it is deemed essen
tisl 10 vote-getting that the passions
of the people should be aroused, that a
feeling of resentment against law and
order should be created, and that mob
rule should be preached as a panacea
for conditions alleged to be wrong.
The responsibility for this public
hysteria is not hard to place 1t is very
properly laid at the door Of man whose
to rule has led him to enun-
ciate doctrines which are dangerous to
the well-being and safety of the United
States.

THAT ALLEN GANG.

Parting Allen clansmen from their
weapons at 4 Virginia trial looks like an
other blow at the recall OF judges and
judicial decisions.
The trial Of the gallant Allen clan be-
gan at wytheviIle yesterday. It must be
a great humiliation to the Aliens to be
tried in court OF justice.
1t has developed that Sidna Allen. the
head of the Virginia outlaw gang, had
just built a $4,000 house. Perhaps he
was after q plumber instead of a Judge
An early attempt TO make Sid Allen
and Yves Edwards the scapegoats OF the
HiIlsville shooting affair doesn't speak
well for the ehivalry Of those Virginia
mounts!neers.
Reports from Virginia lead one to be-
iieve that the detectives who are hunt
ing the Allen gang are not likely to sue
cumb to overwork.
HiIlsviIle may now return to its un-
disturbed quietude until the Aliens are
caught
It's no particular mystery TO US how
Sidna Allen and Yves Edwards are get
ting the food supplies. They're probably
eating the bloodhounds.
Those Aliens who are still at large
must have secured lfe-preservers.
This time they searched the Aliens be-
forehand.
Now that the Aliens are about to 60
to trial the public is curious to know
II there is a cannon on the courthouse
square.
Those Allen outlaws are seeking every
advantage that legal technicalities may
afford. They want either no law at all
or enough OF II to hide behind.
At the last minute the Aliens decided
that Hillsville would not be a good
place TO 60 to trial on a plea of self
defense.
Those Paris bandits seem to be a
tougher lot than the Aliens.
Hillsviue will get back to the first page
OF the newspapers after to-day, but Sidna
and Westley still remain in the back
ground.

SENATORS OPPOSE Z
LIABILITY MEASURE
Workingmen Could Get More in
Courts, Belief of
Some.

The Senate yesterday considered the
employers liability and workmsn's COM
pensation bill, under an agreement. pre-
viously reached. by which the consider
alton OF the bill was TO be taken up and
continued until the bill was disposed of.
Much opposition developed to the meas
ure.
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia and
Senator Reed OF Missouri were the prin-
clpal opponents Of the bill. Their OBJ
jections were based on the belief that
the compensation for injuries provided
by the bill was not equal to what work
ingmen might recover in the courts un-
der recent Federal statutes and Supreme
Court decisions constituting these stat
Utes that have upheld the abolition Of
common law defenses, such as contribu-
tory negligence and the fellow-servant
rule. Senator Reed charged that the
great railroads of the country had been
driven to take refuge behind the pro-
posed legislation in order to escape the
greater liability that Is now afforded un-
der the recent laws and court decisions.
The consideration OF the bill had not
been concluded when at O'Clock the
Senate took a recess until noon to-day.

California is a large. eIbow-shaped

country. II extends from Mexico to Ore

from the tourists standpoint.
California is shut on from the rest Ct

CaIifornians speak perfectly good United
States, produce splendid ball players, and
insurge with all the skill and enthusiasm
Of Kansans.
California was discovered almost 400
years ago. but was not advertised much
until 1879. when its soil was found TO be
strongly impregnated with gold This
caused a mad rush Of settlers, and the
State became Immediately popular. Some
years afterward the CallfornIans expert
mented with oranges ana found that the
air was also strongly impre"nated with
gold. This caused second rusu. Later
on the climate was anaiyze1 by skilled
press agents and was found to be warm
In winter. This caused a rush of tourists
who were more strongly lmpregnated
with gold than either the soil or the air.
In consequence California now has al
most 2.50o0o0 people, and there are hardly
enough pedestrianss among them to keep
the automobile owners amused.

aThe Truth in the News. /"

The above was the caption OF an
editorial in the Washington Times Of
April Il criticising the other daily pa
pers of this city, calling them "slavish,
unreasonable. syoophantic organs of the
Taft administration"
The entire editorial was so foolishly
untrue it was absurd. At the time
The Herald called attention to the fact
that after saying this paper misrepre-
sented facts in its news columns, the
Times took the headlines of The Her
aid on the same day it published its edi-
torial from this paper, incidentally
hosting itself by its own petsrd.
If our readers will pardon us for
having a little fun with our esteemed
contemporary we would like to quote
one other paragraph from that same
leading editorial of April "a, to wit:
AS against this record of persistent
subserviency. the Washington Times
has stood alone. giving the public hon
est news, honest analysis, honest pres
entation of the significance of events as
they passed"
On Wednesday evening the Times,
the sycophantic organ" of the Roose-
welt machine, came out with seven
column head and seven-column story
across the top of its first page, "Roose-
welt delighted with the result in Mas
sachusetts." Following this was another
two-oolumn head, Roosevelt wins in
Massachusetts, over Taft force" Has
at least twenty delegates with not more
than fourteen for the President"
Just to make this a matter of record
The Herald calls attention to the fact
the above was published a day after the
Massachusetts, election.
We cannot help it, but again quot
ing from the Times editorial, we ask
our readers to apply it Just as the
Times requested them to do. Here
it is:
1T is difficult to believe that ignor-
ance of political conditions and public
sentiment could be so profound as thus to
Inislead honest publishers. On the other
hand, It is just as unbelievable that
mendacity could be carried so far as
thus deliberately to mislead the public
about conditions concerning which il
was perfectly certain the public would
in time know the truth.
In to-day's status of the campaign,
readers of the Times will find vindica-
ton of both its honesty in printing and
It's INTELLIGENCE IN ANALYZ-
INC THE NEWS.
Can they find justification for like
confidence in any one Of the Times
local contemporaries?
The Washington Herald FIRST intend
ed to ask the pardon of its readers for
taking this much space in these corking
days of politics. but decided not to,
deeming it its duty to call attention to
such remarkable misstatement of con-
ditions so that its readers, if they
should become involved in any argu-
ment, will not be misled or Influenced
IN any way by what its esteemed
contemporary" prints in its columns.
