are democrats and one half of the dele
 gation in the House are democrats.
 Governor Wilson of New Jersey is enc of the leading candidates for presidential
 nomination. New Jersey has gone repub-
 lican in presidential years ever since MT.
 Clevelands last election. II gave Mr.
 Taft S2. 759 majority, but in 1910 Dr. Will
 son was elected governor, his majority
 being f9,05S but the vote when Dr. Will
 son was chosen governor was 33, ,9O6 less than In 1908. The state legislature of New Jersey s republican In 1911, owing to a
 strong factional fight In New Jersey, it went republican and there is no reasonable
 grounds to hope that the democratic par ty can carry the state In 1912 If Governor Wilson is the nominee.
 The Hon. Oscar W. Underwood Is the only candidate named that comes from Q democratic state that is certain to cast its vote for the nominee of tho democratic party, no matter who is named That he is not seeking the office is known of all
 men, but the office seems to be seeking him. He remains at his post of duty, , strengthening his party, and stands for a reduction of taxation, so that the govern
 ment will receive only enough revenue to
 carry 1t on on business basis.
 It is idle for the democratic party to contest the states controlled by Mormon interests and they are those that seem to be the center of disturbance, the storm centers of the initiative and referendum. We have a right to believe that Kentucky will swing into the democratic column,
 but with all the additions, including It. ! diana. which will be hotly contested, also including Colorado and Maryland yet we
 could not elect out candidate without New
 York's electoral vote. Remember that the state of New York casts more electoral
 votes than the states following: Della ware, Idaho, Montana. Nevada, North
 Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. It is therefore the part of wisdom, if we
 want to win our fight for a reduction of
 tariff taxation. to name candidate that
 will be acceptable to the democra ltc
 voters of New York. And 1t Is admit ed
 that there Is no candidate that is as
 strong in New York as our own oscar w.

GRAFT CHARGES
 ACCUSING ITALY Scheme Involved Stores for The Troops Now in
 Tripoli

sRome, February 10.-(SpeciaD.-Grav charges of graft in the supplying of stores to the troops in Tripoli have aroused the people and the government has undertaken a rigid examination and promises drastic punishment to those who are found to be engaged in the frau dulent operations.
 Everything goes to show that the full light of publicity has not even yet been thrown into all the dark corners of this amazing scandal. The report drawn up by General Pagani is now in the hands of the minister of war. As the result of the inquiry at Naples and owing to the numerous apparently well founded ru- mors. a still more searching inquiry is to be instituted into the whole matter of the supply of food and stores since

In announcing to the public that | will manage the cam- paign of John W. Altman for Clerk of the Criminal Court of Jefferson county l do not be- lieve that 1 can do better than publish d letter written by me to Mr. Altman, viz:
 Birmingham, Ala,
 Feb. 2, 1912. Mr. John W. Altman, Brown
 Marx Building, City.
 Dear Sir:
 As a citizen of Birmingham and of Jefferson county, my sympathy and views coincide with those who are anxious to see all of our laws rigidly and conservatively enforced-and without especial favor to man or interest. Having these views, and in fact being nat urally constituted that way, l am promted to assert that this county needs officers who are capable and able, and who have the courage to do their duty as they see it.
 You have asked me to man age your campaign for Clerk of the Criminal Court, the cleo tion to take place on April 1.
 It has been my privilege to have known you very intimate ly for many years. And l know from personal knowledge and observation that you are considerate to friends, but al ways loyal to duty. 1 know that you are quick to perceive and execute promptly and ac- curately. I know that you are possessed of the highest ability, that you are honest and have the courage to do your duty.
 After deliberation and care fully considering the claims that your opponents. may have to this office, and after pre- senting the matter to a great many of my acquaintances, l have no hesitancy in saying that you are the best fitted man for the position-and that there will be no mistake made by the voters of this county if they honor you with the office you seek.
 I accept the chairmanship of your campaign committee, and the management of your cam paign. l will give you the best 1 have, and now appeal to the people of Jefferson county, to my friends and my acquaint ances to assist me, and to vote for and elect you Clerk of the Criminal Court.
 Your friend,
 B. H. COOPER.

Announcement of John w. Altman'S
 Campaign Officials
To the People of Jefferson County:

MT. John w. Altman, who Is a candidate for Clerk of the Criminal Court, has asked me to act as secretry of his cam paign committee. 1 have con sented to do so.
 1 have agreed to take an ac- tive part in Mr. Altman's cam paign as the secretary of his committee only after careful consideration of the various candidates, their qualifications and claims upon the people of this county.
 | have known Mr. Altman personally for some years, and so far as I know, he Is the only candidate for the office of Clerk of the Criminal Court who has taken any active in terest in any public question that has arisen in this county for the past several years. And I know him to be honest, straightforward, capable and deserving.
 Mr. Altman has informed me that if he be elected Clerk o1 the Criminal Court he will in stall in that office a modern business system which will ma terially aid attorneys and ben eft all parties who may have business in the court and Il the office. Among other things he will at regular intervals ger out a printed docket showing the settings of all cases il which defendants are on bond and he will give notice of tho settings of all other cases, SC that all parties who have eases l in this court will know wher their cases are set for trial fal enough ahead of time to.allow them to prepare for trial, ano thus the taking of forfeitures on their bonds will be less ire quent and less common.
 After a careful consideration of all these matters l am con vinced that he is especially fit ted for the position, and un hesitatingly recommend hin for the position to which he as pires.
 Believing that 1 am serving the people of this county whel I lend my help to his candi dacy, l call upon my friends and upon the people of this county to vote for and hell elect John W. Altman Clerk ot the Criminal Court.
 Respectfully,
 G. F. RIDDLE.

the beginning of the war. The inquiry will be extended to all the ports from which troops and stores have been ship ped to the theatre of war. The prelimi- nary steps for this general inquiry would seem already to have begun. It is stated that a high military officer, aecompa- . nieG by two other officers, all in civilian attire. paid a visit to the military bak- cry. where several soldiers and some private persons were privately questions ed. As a result four army bakers were placed under arrest. It would seem that in consequence of the greater vigilance which has been exercised during the Ia st few days it was discovered that syste- matic robebry had been going on for a long time in the bakery department. Short deliveries are said to have been commissioned officer who is alleged to have been responsible for the defalca- tions, has been arrested.
 The adventures of a mock monsgnore, ar alleged favoi'te prelate in the Pope s entourage. are now filling the papers. He Is now in the central prison, Rome, with the common criminals
 This mans career has been eXtraordi- nary. He was born in Turin. and was valet to marquis. whose name he took. He was for time novice in a monas- tery. Afterwards he joined the army. and deserted at Turin. Then he posed as fashionable priest in France, and went to England. where 1t is said that he swindied many ecclesiastic and nuns. He came recently to Rome, and led a somewhat disorderly life.
 . Such are the details in the papers, but down to the present nothing has been definitely proved in the way of fraud against this strange adventurer. Tn man. ners and appearance he is unusually fas- cinating. and one paper relates that he gave every assistance to. the police when they were photographng him., 1T have never had my photograph taken before. T h7 said. flor I have a nose which Is cas-
 fly recognized. and it would be dar- gerous thing for 2 man who lives on his wits like me to do."
 / Charges of various kinds are pending against the "monsienore." but until something more definite is known the numerous stories told about him must be accepted with some reserve.
