Eve reaffirm, declare and de-
nounce." so commonly used by DEM
ocrats in their conventions and on
the stump, as well as in their press,
will be purely a matter of history,
If the Democratic state bosses have
their way about it in the coming
campaign, One of them writes:
Resides, the local, county and
congressional tickets are entitled to
the full measure of Democratic
strength, unhampered by the weak
ness which any pledge demanded
from a legislative candidate, might
entail"
In other words, the boss believes
and he wants his party to believe
that candidates for the legislature
should stand for nobody and moth
ing. The legislature is one of the
principal parts of the government
Of the state, and it also has a say in
the national government. If it's
members are to stand for nobody
and nothing, why should a congress
sional candidate, who, If elected, is
part of the national government,
stand for anything? Why should
he pledge himself? And, if the leg
islature, the supreme law-making
body of the state, is not committed
to any particular lines of action,
why should the county and other
local governments be committed or
pledged? These questions naturally
follow the suggestion. or utterance,
made by the Democratic boss, and
they are left to the rank and file of
his party to answer.

Has Hill Left n. p!

SEATTLE, May 25.-Has James j.
Hill parted with control of the North
ern Pacific railway and has that con-
troll passed to the Morgan interests to
such an extent that the Chicago &
Northwestern eventually will dominate
in Northern Pacific affairs?
An affirmative answer to this ques-
ton, alike interesting to financiers and
railroad officials, is given by we'll
known local bankers, whose sources of
information in New York apparently
are beyond question as to reliability
and authority.
The mightiest of all expected de-
velopment in northern and transcon-
tinential railroading is bound up in the
belief, now no longer founded on mere
that with the coming retirement
of James j. Hill from active railroad
work there will be made public the
that the Hill interests in
the Northern Pacific have been pur
chased by J. Pierpont Morgan and his

was also prominent factor in the
case that John Sullivan was always
given good word by those who had

The evidence was conclusive on one
point-that Jack Livingston was un-
duly intimate with Mrs. Sullivan, while
there was nothing to show that the
conduct of John Sullivan was at any
time open to criticism.

client He made the most of his op
portunity His address before the
jury was particularly good.
Attorney Lee of Moscow, who was
one of the attorneys for the prosecu-
ton, is also given credit for splend-
id effort in his hour and thirty minute
talk to the jury, and considering the
case he had to handle, won many COM
pliments from the jurors.
The defendant was delighted in the
outcome. During the trial he was as
srred by his many friends that they
would stand by him, and the knowl-
edge that his wife was loyal, confident
that he was innocent of the charge,
and certain that he would come out all
right, encouraged him
The sad part of the case was the
fact that John Sullivan is now ill.
OF late he has had a nervous break
down, and with failing health he was
compelled to go through the trying
ordeals of a trial that might involve
every cent that he had, by hard labor
accumulated and perhaps break up
his home, If found guilty it would
discredit him, and ruin him. All that
he had was at stake. and this fact
seemed to inspire his attorney who
fought every inch of the ground to
successful conclusion.
