PARTY SOLID FOR WILSON

Roosevelt will not get one vote
out Of thousand among the Dem
ocrats In Alabama" said Major w
w. Screws, editor OF the Montgomery
Clemens and spent Tuesday in De-
troit. THE Democrats are united
on Wilson and what Republicans
there are will vote for Taft.
THE Democrats In the south have
not been taken in by Roosevelt's at
titude toward the Negro delegates In
his Chicago convention. We recog-
nize 1t for what II is, purely politi-
cal trick for the benefit of the grand
stand 1t will have no effect on the
vote
The Democrats In Alabama are
entirely In harmony with Gov. VIII
son In spite Of the fact that Under
wood, our own candidate, was our
first choice. There was strong popu-
lar sentiment in favor of Wilson and
the people are entirely satisfied with
him.
There seems to be no question
about the election OF Wilson. Fol-
a time ] was inclined to think that
the reaction against Roosevelt In
favor Of Taft would make II a hard
fight, but II does not look so much
like II now. With a united party the
Republicans would have had 9
chance in North Carolina. Tennessee

year, but the split has made 1t i'm.

states.

While attorneys for nearly all OF
the accused aldermen listened eagerly
for any scrap Of testimony which
might lay bare the information In
possession OF Prosecutor Shepherd
and his allies, Attorney James McNa-
mara, representing Aid Thomas Il
Gilman, dragged from Detective Wal
ter j. Burns, alias Brennon, hitherto
secret information about the fountain
head OF the big graft investigation, IN
"Wednesday mornings session OF
Glinnan's examination In Police Jus
tice STEMS court room.
A sensation was caused when Bren-
non, skilfully cornered by Attorney
| Mcnamara, was forced TO divulge the
! list OF aldermen given TO him by
Mayor Thompson, as men whom the
mayor believed would fall victims to
an attempt at bribery by the detec-
tive. The list contained the names OF
Aid. William Gutman, now candidate
for the Republican nomination for
county auditor, and not previously
mentioned in connection with the
scandal; Aid. Maurice J. Heating. OF
the Fourth ward, who was taken In
charge during the first spasm of the
crusade, but was later released and
Aid. Albert T. Allan, also OF the
Fourth ward, who was questioned by
the prosecutor when the second batch
OF arrests was made.
Another sensation was caused, when
Attorney Mcnamara wrung from the
reluctant detective the doodle list,r
as II was turned over to Burns, or
Brennon. In the Detroit club, on July
"a, by Andrew II. Green.
Brennon stalled" In a vain effort
to avoid giving the information, but
Attorney Mcnamara checkmated his
every excuse. and while the big
crowd In the courtroom maintained a
breathless silence, Brepnon said In a
low voice: "Mr Green gave me $500

For the second time within week,
the president today vetoed the legis-

disapproval on the ground that II
abolished the commerce court
In his former veto the president OBJ
jected to the bill both because Of the
courts abolition and the limitation on
civil service tenure. On its second
passage congress eliminated the sew

Legislators told Taft personally that
the bill could be passed over the veto,
