THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE.

There is growing announcement for Demo-
Gratis as Governor Wilson comes into the focus
OF public scrutiny. The candidate of the con-
Yention is every day growing in the esteem OF
the truly progressive. and every day an exam
ination OF his record and his personality in
creases the trend toward him on the part Of
that hopelessly conservative element which, de-
spairing of Taft sees in Wilson the hope Of
reason as against the tagaries Of Roosevelt. Ia

tnde of the Jersey Governor has been calm.

oYsTERMEN DESERT BOATS
Hungry and Cold, MANY Find Haven
in Old Eastern, Md, Jail

III OiO EdSIeTns MQsl OdH
The Easton Jail is filled with
nearly 80 oyster dredgers, who have
walked from vessels which are
frozen in the ice at various places
on the Choptank, Tired Avon and
Miles Rivers and the Chesapeake
Bay, and still others are expected
to reach Easton to receive lodging
and food from Sheriff Haddawy. The
men say that the season has been
good one, as oysters have been
plentiful and in good condition and
that upto week ago there had not
been much suffering among them.
For the past week, however, they
say the owners of the boats would
not furnish them with food and to
keep warm they were compelled to
walk ashore on the ice for wood to
make fires. When their provisions
ran out they were compelled to
abandon their boats and tramp
through the snow from IL to 20
miles to Easton, where they knew
the county Jail was located, to get
shelter and food Most of the men
in the Jail belong in Baltimore,
Philadelphia and Wilmington and
they say that as esoon as they get
thawed out and enough to eat they
expect to continue on foot to their
homes, where they will wait until
the rivers and bays open before
they return.
