AN OLD SCHEME REVIVED

ity of the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee. have revived the old
scheme of convention which had be
come odious, through the manipula-
lions of a few individuals who al
ways had programmed the results
beforehand and who dominated, the
proceedings, regardless of the pro
test of the delegates not in the
schemeing. ,,.
It was from this arbitrary con-
troll, the running over rough shod
of this 'cut and dried programme.
designed and dictated by a few poll
.tical autocrats, bent on, rule or
ruin. which led to the enactment
of the law providing the nomina-
tons by primary elections of candi-
dates. for local and State offices,
from governor to constable.
1t. was ,,neyer believed that the
spirit of the primary law would
have been treated with. such dis,
dain as it received at the hands OF
the committeeman, who being fresh
from the people have denied them,
the Democracy of Louisiana, this
privilege of voicing their choice OF
a Democratic candidate for presi-
dent at a primary election.
As an extenuation, it has been
offered in explanation that the re
yixal of the convention system, this
old scheme of political scheiners,
has been suggested because there
is no specific provision in the law
nor ready money to warrant such
primary.
/ This is a pretensa
Seriously, if the majority OF the
committee had not favored a con,
ention, which may be manipulated
by few individuals. TO secure GER
tain ends, the ways and the means
could have been devised and pro
vided for a primary. '.,
! TO say The least, the acllon OF
the committee is inconsistent with
the oft repeated declaration that
THE people are the sovereisns and
the people rule"
! From the action Of the committee
such declaration may be accepted
as a fallacy, the rankest OF absurd
tiles.
+ After wrangle the committe,
has authorized each parish commit,
tee to provide how the delegates tt
the State convention shall be select
ed. 1t may be by primary elect
ion or a mass meeting or by the
executive committee Of each parish
I From the experience of the past
A may be asserted that the nomin
alton of delegates by mass meeting
so-called. may be delivered by few
individuals cooked and prlmed fol
such occasion, and where the voice
of the people is silent. And sill
more undemocratic and autocratl'
is the selection of delegates by al
executive committee. of which
minority of its membership may b'
lin attendance for such purpose.
i It is the opinion OF the Caucasian
that the Democratic State Contra
ICommittee has failed to respond II
1.-THE anticipation of the Democrac'
lof Louisiana who had entertainet
1.-The hope Of having the opportunl.t!
Iof giving expression to the, choic'
Iof a candidate for president at
lprimary election.
In its denial to give the Demoera
lev of Louisiana the opportunity o.
Iyoieing their will at presdentIa
primary nomination, the commit
lice has refrigerated from its pro
jclaimed principles and has. yieid
ed to an expedIency at the sacrifice
lof a general State primary for the
nomination at which the Democrat!
Iwho vote and carry elections hat
leSpeetd the opportunity of hear

ROOSEVELT HELD
FOR SELF ALONE

Washington, July 12-Under the cap
ton, Case OF Roosevelt" Senator La
Toilette, in the current number Of La
Foilettes Weekly, says Bryan, at Bal
timore. foregoing all chance OF his own
nomination, braving Tammany and the
trusts. and carrying the convention for
the adoption Of a progressive platform
and the most progressive candidate
available, was a towering figure OF
moral power and patriotic devotion to
civic righteousness.
Roosevelt had as great an oppOrtun-
ity 10 serve the progressive cause at
Chicago, but he was serving the man,
LCt the cause. He had enough dele,
gates n that convention ultimately Jo
have nominated d real progressive and
adopted progressive platform. On
such platform Hadley could have
been nominated but Roosevelt would
not consider Hadley. He would have
no one but himself AT the first sug

First Witnesses Called
in Alleged Chicago Mur-
der Mystery.
VICTIM AN INVENTOR
State Claims 1t Would Have
Been Impossible to Have
SuiCided.

Chicago, July 12.-Taling OF testi-
mony began today in the trial of Mrs.
Rena b. Morrow for the alleged muir
der of her husband, an inventor, Dec.
,, last.
The jury was completed late yester-
day afternoon and before the after
noon adjournment was taken Assistan>
States Attorney John Z. Northup, who
is conducting the prosecution, made
the opening statement to the men who
will hold Mrs. Morrows fate in their
hands. He outlined the evidence
which will be presented in behalf OF
the state.
MONEY CAUSED TROUBLE.
"The evidence will show, gentlemen
of the jury. that following the death
of her husband. Mrs. Morrow
told people living in the house
to say that Mr.. Morrow had fl
nancial difficulties and that it was on
this account that he took his life.' he
began. I'VE expect to prove that prior
to the tragedy Mr.. and Mrs. Morrow
had frequent quarrels about money
matters. The evidence will reveal that
fatal shots were fired by a self-act-
/ ing revolver: that it was impossible
/ for Mr. Morrow to have shot himself
without using his thumb besides his
finger in order to fSe the shots
through his left side and brain.
No POWDER MARKS.
THE revolver with which he was
killed was held about five or six feet
away from him. There We're no pow
/ der marks found on his clothing. We
will also prove that Mrs. Woods,
rOomer at the house, heard the shots
and she called to Mrs. Morrow. Mrs.
/ Woods called twice TO Mrs. Morrow
! before she answered.
/ Mrs. Morrow and her husband quar-
relied about o'clock on the evening
prior to the finding of his body. In
loud tones Mr.. Morrow wac heard to
eXclaim that he wanted to eat his
meals in his own home"

Chicago, July 12.-Developments
in the Henning-Funk perjury
charges were awaited today with the
convening of the grand jury this

indictments will be returned, with
possibility that other true bills aim

gators of the alleged conspiracy TO

sons who have corroborative evidence
bearing on the confession of Mrs.
Henning are said to have evaded Of
ficers from the states attorneys Of

is said, might delay the return of in

TRIAL FOR JUDGE
ARCHIBALD VOTED
Only One Ballot Cast in House
in Favor of Court of Com
merce Member.
ROLL STANDS AT 222 TO |
Nine Representatives Refuse to Take
Stand Either for or Against
Accused.

Washington, July 12-The house Of
representatives yesterday afternoon
adopted articles Of impeachment
against Judge Robert W. Archibald of
the United States commerce court by
vote of 222 to l. Representative
Farr of Pennsylvania cast the single
vote against the bill of impeachment
Mr. Farr is lifelong friend, who has
all along voiced confidence in Judge
Archbald's integrity.
OF the total membership of the
house in their seats only nine voted
present" Those We're former Speak
er Cannon. Representatives Burgess of
Texas, Dalzell and Olmsted of Penn
sylvania, Dwight of New York, John
son of South Carolina, Parran OF
Maryland, Rucker of Missouri and
Sparkman of Florida.
THREE SPEAK IN DEFENSE.
Only three members had spoken in
the judges defense. They were Rep
resentatives Farr, Bowman and Focht,
all republicans of Pennsylvania.
The scene now shifts to the senate,
which will sit in judgment on the case.
While there has been a disposition
voiced in the senate TO postpone the
trial until the autumn, Chairman Clay
ton of the house committee on the ju-
dietary, and one of the prosecuting
managers, declared his conviction that
the senate would take up the impeach-
ment soon.
The Impeachment grows out of
charges that, while occupying a feder-
al bench, Judge Archibald was connect.
ed with a negotiation for valuable
culm bank properties in Pennsylvania
and with other questionable financial
transactions, and with using his off.
! cial-p position TO- attempt, the Fl, enrich
ment OF himself and certain friends.
DID NOT TAKE STAND.
Representative Moore of PennsyI
vania wanted it to go before the coun
/ try that the house judiciary committee
Investigations were ex parte, thai
Archibald was represented only By
counsel, and that no witnesses were
examined in refutation of the charges
Mr.. Clayton acknowledged this, say
ing it had always been the case with
impeachments and that every cour
tesy had been extended Archibald. He
said Archbald's counsel once asked
if the Judge might go on the stand II
his own behalf and that when told ht
might, but would be subject to cross
newed.
Official papers in the. Archibald i'm
peachment case were prepared toda,
for immediate presentation to the sen
ate.
