President Jere C. Hutchins. OF the

Detroit, Thursday, after a 10-weeks'
vacation trip, which included most OF
the countries that border on the Medi-

in the country there are few signs OF

that there is great power behind the
troops that one sees in the cities.

While the opponents OF Woodrow
Wilson copcede that he will have 375
instructed delegates in the Demo
cratic state convention in Bay City,
May Is, the Wilson men claim 429,
which Is probably more accurate. as
a tabulation of newspaper reports
from county conventions already held
gives Wilson 800. A few OF the small

On top OF their formidable array OF
about 400 Instructed delegates, the
Wilson men have received assur-
ances of support from enough OF the
unrestricted delegates TO warrant
them in predicting that they will have
a majority OF more than 100 votes In
the state convention. The number or
pledged delegates for Wilson Is said
to be the largest ever given to a
presidential candidate In Michigan.
The total number OF delegates In the
convention will be 1855.
The close of the campaign for con-
troll of the convention will be mark
ton in Kalamazoo where a big dele
cation of 35 votes has been the prize
for which one of the most bitter con-
tests in the state has been fought.
Some week ago the Wilson men,
recognizing the Importance OF the
contest in Kalamazoo, and also be-
cause OF pending contests In other
western counties, moved their state
headquarters from Detroit to kala-
mazoo. Publisher F. F. Rowe, OF the
Kalamazoo Gazette, as a leader OF
the forces opposing Wilson instruc-
lions, and working for an uninstruct-
ed delegation to Bay City, has been
fighting tooth and nail to save MS

to find out whether accidents such as
that which caused the death OF Purdie
could be prevented by proper precau-
ttonary measures.
AT the time OF the bursting Of the
pipe, newspaper men who sought in
formation about the accident were
barred from the building, by a husky
oiler, who stated that no one was seri-
ously hurt. Meanwhile, Purdie was
slowly dying, with the membranes OF
his lungs burned away by the power
ful fumes of the ammonia.
Manager George higgins, of the
power plant, explained, Friday, that
men were frequently overcome by
ammonia fumes in all cold storage
plants, but that the accidents seldom
proves serious and It was expecteS
that Purdie would soon revive after
Mondays accident.
DR.. F. B Tibbals, No, SO Fort-st
west, who attended Purdie, explained
his failure to report the case to the
coroner by saying that as the man
had medical attention by physician
who was competent to sign the death
certificate, he did not think it neces-
sary to notify the coroner.

Spencer's License Revoked.

On Thursday of last week, Judge
Keedy, Of Hagerstown, revoked the
license of Albertus Spencer, who for
more that 80 years has operated a ea-
loon at lock SO on the Maryland side of
the Potomac. at Harpers Ferry. A
number of witnesses were heard be-
fore the court testifying thatth saloon
was menace to public peace in that
neighborhood.
Judge Keedy, in giving his deci-
sion, stated that although some of the
witnesses testified that the saloon was
conducted In an orderly manner, the
testimony was overwhelming that the
drunkenness, gambling and immoral
conduct in that vicinity was due ,di-
rectly to the existance ofthis saloon,
and the place had become nuisance
to the community.
A complete report of the case will be
found on our first page this week. ls'39

The KEYNOTE.

We declare it to be fundamental
principle of the Democratic party that
the federal government under the Con-
stltution has no right or power to inn
pose or collect tariff duties, except for
the purpose of revenue, and we demand
that the collection of such taxes shall
be limited to the necessities of govern
ment honestly and economically adj
ministered.
The high Republican tariff is the
principal cause Of the unequal distribu-
ton of wealth; it is a system of taxa
ton which makes the rich richer and
the poor poorer; under it's operations
the American farmer and laboring man
are the chief sufferers: it raises the
cost of the necessaries of life to them,
but does not protect their product or
wages. The farmer sells largely in
free markets and buys almost entirely
in the protected markets. In the most
highly protected Industries. such as
cotton and wool, iron and steel the
wages Of the laborers are the lowest
paid any of our Industries. We de-
nounce the Republican pretense on that
subject and assert that American wages
are established by competitive condi-
tiops and not by the tariff.
We favor the immediate downward
revision of the existing high and, in
many cases, prohibitive tariff duties.
insisting that material reductions be
speedy made upon the necessaries of
life. Articles entering into compete
ton with trust controlled products and
articles of American manufacture
which are sold abroad more cheaply
than at home, should be put upon the
free list.
We recognize that our system of
tariff taxation is intimately connected
with the business of the country and
we favor the ultimate attainment of
the principles we advocate by legisla-
ton that will not injure or destroy
legitimate Industry.
We denounce the action Of President
Taft in vetoing the bills to reduce the
tariff in the cotton, wooden, metals and
chemicals schedules and the farmers
free list bill, all of whichwere designed
to give immediate relief to the masses
from the .exactions of the trusts.
Fl The Republican party. while promis-
ing tariff revision has shown by its
tariff legislation that such revision is
not to be in the peoples interests and
having been faithless to its pledges of
1903 it should no longer enjoy the con-
fidence of the nation We appeal to
the American people to support us in
our demand for a tariff for revenue
only.

No Excuse For Saloons in Jefferson
00
Now.


One of the main arguments of
the saloon advocates for their
Enlistment in Jefferson, has
been the existence of Spencers,
across the river from Harpers
Ferry and the probability Of the
relicensing of saloons in Mar
tinsburg.
Now however, since Judge
Keedy of Maryland has revoked
the Spencer license because drunk
eness, gambling and immoral con-
duct in the vicinity was direct
~ due to the existence of the sa-
loon, which had become nuis-
ance to the community, and since
the County Court of Berkeley
inspired perhaps by Jefferson's
good example has refused to
grant license in Martinsburg, the
VETS" find themselves hoist by
their own petardn and their best
arguments turned to refute and
confound them.

William j. Bryan in a Commoner
