DEMOCRAT TO
RUN WITH 7. R.
Southern Man With Progress
sive Ideas Desirable.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. lit is gen.
orally understood that II a Democrat
and a %southerner who is also a suitable
progressive can be found he will be
nominated for vice president at the
third party convention in Chicago on
Aug. 8.
The third party leader said as much,
but he went on to indicate the difficulty
which was being encountered In f1nd-
ing the right man to gain the support
he fondly hopes to win from the solid
south, not only for the approaching
election, but for the groundwork he Is
laying of a nation wide progressive
party for future usefulness. He was.
he said, also on the lookout for a con-
vention permanent chairman OF the
same section and past political ahlia-
ton to counterbalance the former Indi-
ana senator, Albert J. B~everidge, who
will occupy the temporary chairman
ship.
Some hitch has caused the colonel to
withdraw his proposal of John M. Par
ker, the New Orleans Democrat, for
the conventions permanent presiding
officer. his explanation was that after
he and Senator Dixofi~had made the
announcement Of their selection 1t was
recalled that the southerner was to
make one Of the speeches seconding the
Roosevelt nomination. No other name
was mentioned by the colonel for the
place.
The ex-president was waited on by a
delegation from Vermont, where his
followers face an uphill fight.
+ People With Him In Vermont.
"Mr. MetZger and Mr.. Azeltne, can
didates respectively for governor and
lieutenant governor of Vermont" he
said, after they had departed, declared
that I could have no idea how the peo-
pie In Vermont were moved. They
have the machine, the organization and
the money against them and no pol1ti-
clans of any experience with them. But
they believe they have the people with
them to a degree that the politicians dc
not understand, and they feel very con-
| fdent of the outcome In Vermont"
Henry F. Cochems Of Wisconsin. the
new head Of the speakers bureau OF
the Roosevelt campaign committee, &C
companied the Vermonters. He came
for a conference with the colonel on
some new campaign plans.
Washington dispatches to the efect
that the new party could count on the
allegiance Of only a corporal's guard OF
senators and representatives left the
ex-preeident undismayed. He said, witt
a grim smile, that he did not expect
much support from that quarter ane
added jokingly, II think l can at least
depend upon Senator Dixon"
He IL we'll aware Of the difficulty o.
some of the other progressive senators
in preserving a sympathetic attitude
toward his cause without leaving the
| Republican party lines.

WILSON VIEWS
ON THE TARIFF
Said He will Advocate Gen.
eraI Revision Downward.

Sea Girt, N. J., Aug. 1.-Without
saying 1t in so many words, Governor
Woodrow Wilson made a chance re-
mark which tends to confirm the be-
lief of his friends that there will be
nothing revolutionary in the tariff sec
ton Of his speech Of acceptance.
He will advocate a gradual revision
downward.
Congressman William G. Redneld
of Brooklyn, who knows the tarin
from all angles. had been to the little
white house and departed saying that
personally he was in favor Of q grad
ual, moderate, but thorough revision
downward. This had been quoted to
the governor, WHO answered promptly
~ think we will agree on that"
The speech Of acceptance is com
plete now, 5000 words in all, and to-
day one copy went to the printers
while another copy was retained for
the perusal of Ollie James, who came
for luncheon with the Democratic
nominee. The governor has finished
his debating and attending to the prop
er corrections.

PARIS SMOKERS GAIN
VICTORY PEACEABLY
snccial cable TO The Trlbune.


PARIS. Jan. e.-The state tobacco and
match monopoly VIII think twice before
81 makes the attempt of increasing It's
receipts at tho expense of smokers When
NJ. Cochcry Was minister OF finance. he
thought he had conceived brilliant idea
for increasing his receipts from the sale
of tobacco and matches. He raised the
price OF the tobacco called ''Caporal.'
but IL had 10 be reduced six months
later. Not content with that. lie thought
he might pinch bit by the sale OF
matches. Formerly smokers got forty
wax lights in box for two cents. The
number was reduced 10 thirty. and for
eighteen months cverv time a smoker
bought a box OF wax lights he felt that
he was being robbed Of ten matches.
He has come by his own again, for on
January ! tho number OF matches in tho
box was increased 10 forty.
Why was the price of tobacco reduced,
and why were the ten matches added
10 the penny box? The fact is that
smokers practically went on strike
They put up fight against the treas
ury-a fight that WAS not marked by
crIee, p,enaces. speeches and dcmonstro-
tIons OF protest. They simply bought
less tobacco and fewer boxes OF matches.
II has been suggested that II people would
apply the principle OF doing without"
or at any rate. buyIng as little n possi
bic for few weeks the problem OF tho
increased cost OF Living would bs solved.
