Budapest, Hungary, Sept 1.-THE
opening session Of the Hungarian
parliament today was marked by
wild outburst Of factionaI feeling
which was prevented from becoming
a free fight only through the inter-
yention Of party leaders. The uproar
began as soon as Count Stephen Tisza

tered the chamber, He was received
with cries Of derision and abuse.

His calls for attention only caused
the disorder to break out with re-
newed violence.
The royal decree opening the seE-
sion was read without anybody hear
ing a word Of it and it was followed
by what looked likely to develop lii
to free fight. An opposition mem
Der tauntingly asked deputy Of the
governmental party whether he had
his revolver with him. This raised
feeling to fever heat and the mem
bers were on the point Of coming to
blows when Count Julius Andrassy
and other leaders intervened and
separated the deputies who had threat
ened each other. The tunult, how
ever, continued. Only a few spects-
tors were in the chamber and neith-
er police nor military appeared, al
though disorder had been anticipated.

He could as fully justify and make
moral the wholesale slaughter of

their operation as part of the
postal service will be recommend
ed to congress in a short time by
Postmaster General Hitchcock.
Tor year or more Mr., Hitch
cock has had his recommendation
under consideration. After a thor
ough study of the operation of the
government-controlled lines and
postal telegraph systems Of for
eign countries, he has decided to
urge the matter upon congress.
Should this recommendation be
adopted, am convinced it would
result IN important economies and
in very materially lower telegraph
rates than are now exacted. In
approximately fifty countries Of
the world-notably in Great Brit.

SENATOR TAYLOR URGES

With Equal Representation for
Both Democratic Factions
In State

Washington, Jan. i},-Senalor Rob

joint primary Tor the nomination Of all

This is The basis Of lasting pact
which Seualor TAYLOR will suggest 10

says II embraced It will insure the re
union OF both elements Of The demo
cratic party in Tennessee
This highly important utierance on
the part OF the senior senator from Ten

senlatives Of stale papers last night,
follows.
Having stood without ialierine by

loyalty TO H. and having stood faithful

Verirees, in all his actions, as he stood
faithfully and resolutely for that Ct
eaBization and Tor me in the campaign
OF 1910, must now ask the privilege
Of making some suggestions TO our com
mitee in this critical moment Of our
history as a party in Tennessee.
IT We make a mistake now, il can
not be recalled. The expression is on
the lips Of many, thai the democratic
party in Tennessee is in danger Of an
other laciional struggle like that through
which we passed in he last campaign.
II this be true, lei il not be the fault OF
our committee. Whether we deplore the
recent action OF the national committee.
or whether others rejoice over it, il is
done. Therefore, for The sake,ol the
party offer the suggestion Of the com
miltee, when il meets on the 10th that
il take such steps as will insure the re.
union Of both wings of the democratic
party, and that it formulate plan with
out The surrender Of principle by which
both elements may JOIN together in a
common cause III joint primary with
equal representation OF both al election.
Let The independent committee withdraw
its call for a primary for the nomination
Of all candidates, and then the whole
problem, in my judgment will be solved
Senator Lea and Senator TAYLOR have
had number Of conferences with refer
ence to the restoration of peace in Ten
nessee, and both have been in accord in
most particular Senator Lea has Ia
vored the primary from the beginning

The democratic national COM
mittee has forced Mr., Mountcastle
on the state as our committeeman in
the face of the fact that the demo
cratic organization of the state
had displaced him for betrayal of
his trust and filled the position
with democrat This action of
the national committee has par
alyzed the democracy of Tennessee
and palsled the efforts of the most
active party workers in the state.
Mountcastle is committed to the
support of the Taft administration
and in honor bound to vote tor
him. This head of Inc democratic
party of Tennessee endorsed and
supported Mr., Hooper on a plat
form that approved and endorsed
I the administration of Mr.. Taft.
He is in all essential respects q re
publican. That he in comb,na-
ton with the republicans will be
able to carry the state for Taft
does at this time seem most prob
able. Ever since Mountcastle,
Enloe, Shields and other democrats
went over to the republicans the
democratic party has been in a
struggle for its life. The struggle
has been and still is a hard and
bitter one. But If democrats are
true to their principles and to
themselves the struggle can but
end in the renewed life and Vlgor
of the old party. Just why the
national committee should turn the
affairs of the PAL ty over to the re.
publicans 1t is hard to understand.
But they have done it and We
must accept conditions as we fine
them. Democrats in this section
are not disposed to follow Mr.
Mountcastle INTO the camp of the
enemy. The conflict is coming OF
and 1t is to be hoped that the reg
ular committee will find some way
} out of the difficulty. The old par
ty still has life and this its enc
mics will find out IN due time. -

names: Calliope, the muse of epic
poetry. Clio, of history. Euter-

Of tragedy. Terpslchore, of the
choral dance and song. Erato, of
love poetry. PolyphYmnla, of
sacred poetry. Urania, of astron-
omy. Italia, of Comedy.
The graces, three in number,
presided over the banquet, the
dance and all social enjoyments
and elegant arts. Their names
were Euphrosyne, Aglaia and
Thalea.

Democratic papers, especially
those of the ultra conservative
school, persistently keep before
the public the idea that Elk Pres
ident Roosevelt is likely to head
his party ticket in this years
contest. From a party stand
point such a course is not wise.
These journals may so educate
the people up to the idea, as to
create IA popular demand for the
candidacy of this great Ameri
can. And should he run, his de.
feat will be no easy matter. The
signs now point to Democratic
victory. Recent state and con
gressional elections give unmis-
taxable indications of this. Re-
publicans recognize and freely
admit it, But if Roosevelt should
be the candidate, at time when
progressive ideas of government
So greatly dominate the public
mind, the issue would be much
in favor of this great exponent
of action, and maker of prece
dents. Our opinion is that these
papers would serve their owr
party interests well to leave of
encouraging or prophecying tn,
