working some hardship upon the peo-
Pile aud some loss OF crops may result
from It,. It ia reported that on many

DEMANDS FOR PROGRESSIVE
PLATFORM.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 1.-THE
fight between the democratic party
for control of the senate under the
next administration has taken def
mite form within the last few days as
a result of concerted action by small
body of democrats toward laying the
basis for what they term progressive
control" in the next congress.
series of conferences, culmina-
ting in "a dinner yesterday. at when
nearly a dozen democrats were pres
ent, have resulted in a general under
standing for reorganization move
ment designed to insure the control OF
legislation policies after March by
senator's in full sympathy with the
views of President elect Wilson. NO
detailed program has been outlined,
but the campaign is understood TO
involve the entire subject of senate

If A PEOPLE WANT PROHIBITION.

If the PEOPLE OF any state in the
union want prohibition, then let them
have il is the literal meaning of the
Sheppard kenyon bill now pending IN
the United States senate. THIS DILL
which passed. the lower house some
DAYS ago and was known there as the
Sheppard bill. strikes at the root OF
the main evil which prohibition states
have to contend with in the enforce
ment of their laws, the express ana maj
order shipments from wet" states.
The bill las aroused great interest
all over iha country. This interest
has now settled down to the senate,
there to center on the question ot
the consti.utionality of the law should
the measure pass. One senator VINO
is advocating the bill said few days
ago. on the floor of the senate. that
all efforts to give state governments
control over liquor shipments as soon
as they cross the state line must fail
because the United States supreme
court has always held such legisla-
tion to be unconstitutional. Continu-
ing. this senator said: "but the fed
eral government has the entire right
to prohipi. the shipment OF liquor
into prohibition states
States whore the citizens have said
that they Go not want and will not
have the saloon, where the people
have said ,hat liquor can not and must
not be manufactured and sold, are to
a degree powerless to cope with the
evil which they seek to avoid so long
as the federal judiciary steps in and
says that the llqIo; maker and the
liuuor dealer of states where such
traffic is legalized, may ship their
commodities into cory territorq, and
just as lorg as there no adequate
federal laws, just that long are we
going - find "bootleggers" and
drunkards IN the digest kind of dry
states.

laws-in the consideration to be given

ton which should govern the vote

JOHNSON ASPIRES
=. TO BETTER RECORD
SET BY MARQUARD
Kansas Cyclone Equals Chesbro's
American League Mark of Four
teen Successive Victories.
ENGEL WILL PITCH TO-DAY

That Walter Johnson has a fine chance
of equaling or bettering the wonderful
record OF Rube Marquard's nineteen
consecutive victories was evident to all
who witnessed the combat between the
Nationals and Chicago yesterday at the
Concrete Coliseum.
johnson is pitching right now the best
ball since he started his career as a
major Lacquer, and as the Climbers have
about forty-five games to play before
the 1872 season closes. Johnson is sure
TO get into ten or twelve OF them with
better than an even chance to win every
one.
The present American League record
for consecutive victories is held by Jack
Chesbro. in 1904, when Chesbro was a
member of Griffith's New York club.
Jacks mark of fourteen straight wins
was eQualed by Johnson here yesterday.
and now Walter wants to beat Rube
Marquard's nineteen straight.
As St Louis took a fall out of the
Boston Red Sox. in the Hub yesterday.
the Nationals gained a little on the
league leaders. and are now exactly
eight and one-half games behind the
HOstu
The Athletics also defeated Cleveland
in Philadelphia, and for that reason the
Nationals still remain in third place,
two points behind the White Elephants.
The Cleveland Maps arrived in town
shortly before midnight last night. and
Manager Harry Davis stated that he
would either pitch his crack left-hander.
Willie Mitchell, or Earl Blanding.
According to Davis the Maps were
handed a raw deal by the jumps yester-
day, and Harry declares that Cleveland
should have won by a to score.
Griff is going to start Joe Engel, the
boy, against Cleveland this
afternoon, as the youngster has shown
lot Of improvement during the past two
weeks, and II the Nationals do any kind
of hitting at all behind Joe. Griff be-
lieves the youngster will deliver the goods.
The Chicago White Sox said good-by to
for the 1872 season yesterday.
Chicago and the Nationals have played
three series in the Concrete Coliseum. and
the visitors have won seven out Of the
twelve games. On the other hand. the
Climbers have tackled the SoX two series
in Chicago and have won seven out of
the eight, which gives us an edge of two
games on the pallid- -hosed combination
thus far, with one more series to be
played in the Windy City.
