Judge Edward j. Jeffries executed
10 clever coup, Tuesday evening. In his
campaign for the Democratic noRina-
ton for mayor when he invaded~the
Seventh ward and held rousing
meeting at Heinz hall, Orleans and
Franklin streets, the hall where
Mayor Thompson has opened his cam
paign each time he has run for ONCE.
More than 100 Democrats Of the first
precinct of the Seventh ward gave
tho Justice an enthusiastic reception,
indicating that he would receive
strong support at the primaries In
that precinct.
In his address, Justice Jeffries said he
would spend the first OF his term, IL
elected, In obtaining revision OF the
city charter. This, he said, was the
big thing that must be done before
public ownership OF public utilities
can be accomplished. AS on the pre-
ceding evening when he opened his
Icampaign, municipal ownership OF the
street railways was the main point
IN his address.
A Jeffries club was formed at
Tuesday nights meeting and SO mem
lbcrs were enrolled. Alfred Cav
lanaugh was elected president; Robert
Kelly, vice-president, Joseph Asselin
secretary, and Michael Heinz, treas
| urer.

the Chamber of Commerce a few
months ago, and some steps were taken
toward the organization of sort Of
@glad1hand society" TO do this very
thing. The motive was an excellent one,
and it is to be hoped viii be followed
up so that visitors to Washington may
be looked after in a more systematic
way than heretofore. There IS one
way in which every citizen in Wash
ington may contribute to this desirable
end, and that is by being careful, on
all occasions. to give clear directions to
inquiring visitors, to extend little cour-
tesies freely, and to aid in cases of per-
plexity and embarrassment in the try
ing moments that come to all strangers
in a strange place. We ought not leave
this class of civic guests entirely to the
hands of professional guides and po-
Iicenen for directions how to best see
some of the many interesting things in
which Washington is increasingly rich.

FLETCHER PRAISES
CONVENTIONS WORK
President of Southern Commercial
Congress Says Much Good Will
Result from Conference.

That the consideration OF the rural
credit systems by fourth annual conven-
ton of the Southern Commercial Con-
gress recently held in Nashville was one
OF the most significant lines OF work
ever undertaken in this country was
the opinion expressed last night by Sem
ator Duncan u. Fletcher, Of Florida,
president Of the congress.
''The conference brought together men
from twenty-seven States - bankers,
planters, ministers, editors, public ON
cials, farmers, and educators-along the
lines of agriculture as well as along
general lines said Senator Fletcher.
For a week these men sat together
and studied, as in a school, the various
systems of agricultural cooperative
credit now IN operation in Germany and
other European countries. Then the
conference made a Recommendation to
the board OF directors, and this recon-
mendation will play such an important
part in the activities OF the congress
this year, both in America and abroad.
that 1 would like to have II brought az
widely as possible under the notice OF
the nation"
A second vitality important result OF
the Nashville convention. according 70
Senator Fletcher, involved the defining
OF the gratitude OF the Southern States
to DR.. Seaman A Knapp, OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture, for the extraor-
dInary influence this one life exerted in
producing diversihcation in Southern az
riculture.
A third important eject, he said. was
that OF showing the contrast between
the agricultural conditions OF 1850 to 1870
and 1910, and also showing the contrast
between educational conditions In lsSO to
1870 and 1910.
