UNCLE SANS HORSES.
First Government Experiment In De-
veIopine an American Carriage
Horse Promises Success.


1t is now a little over seven years
since Prof. W. l.. Carlyle and Eugene
II. Grubb of the Colorado Board of
Agriculture went to Washington to
try and induce the government to un-
dertake the work of breeding an
American carriage horse. The first
idea was to breed a high grade saddle
horse, which could also be utilized for
cavalry purposes. Secretary James
Wilson, however, thought that the car
riage horse was in most demand, and
Congress finally authorized an appro-
priation to commence the work and
the breeding station was opened at
Fort Collins. The plan was to de-
yeiop the Standard bred horse, itself
an American type. to fill the require
ments. The Standard bred horse had
always been bred for speed and the
conformation and size so necessary in
a carriage horse was always disre-
garded. yet Notwithstanding this fact,
the government was able to gather to-
gether about fifty high class mares
of the type wanted and at the head
was placed the great stallion Carmon,
bred by the Nfst Secretary OF Agricul'
ture. Governor Coleman of Missouri
on his Missouri farm. and afterwards
sold to Thomas n. Lawson. the Bos'
ton millionaire and became one OF the

most steadfast person and Checkers as
play will be thoroughly enjoyed.

wheel horses on his celebrated $4,000

wheel horses on MS celeDraleu SfV'VVt
park four.
The specifications for the horse de
sired were as follows: A horse OF
handsome appearance standing about
16 hands high with good action and
speed and high intelligence, horse
that would adapt himself quickly to
environment and at the same time
have high life and an attractive ap-
pearance. Carmon, though bred for
speed, had the qualifications to
large degree. The mares selected
were largely of the same type and
the plan was by selection and feed
ing, to produce and fix the type
wanted.
For time there was considerable
discussion as to whether the expert
ment would succeed. Prof. Carlyle,
who had the foundation work in
charge, was compelled to leave the
work three years ago, but he had laid
the foundation well and now the gov
ernment has consented to show the
public what has already been accom-
plished and Carmon and number of
his sons. from six years of age down
to a weanling. will be exhibited at
the Denver Horse Show January 1920.

Another Upset in Pennsylvania.

Another political revolution occurred
in Pennsylvania yesterday when the
democratic organization which has domi-
mated the party in the keystone state for
many years was completely overthrow.
This overturn, following closely SINH
lar upset in the republican ranks, puts
each political party in the control Of
a new set Of men.
James NJ. Guffey, democratic national
nized head of the democratic machine,
was supplanted by Representative A.
Mitchell Palmer. George w. Guthrie Is
to be the new state chairman and these,
with Vance C. Mccormick, will consti-
tute the new management.
The Guffey machine went to pieces on
the first test vote Of the state conven-
ton yesterday, the selection of permanent
chairman of the convention, losing by
no to 49, The Guffey people then aban-
doned the fight and the reorganizers put
through their slate and platform without
a hitch. William H. Berry, who laid bare
the capitol graft, was again nominated
for state treasurer, and Robert E. Cress-
we'll was named for auditor general The
nominees for representatives at large are
George B. Shaw of Westmoreland, JO-
seph Howley Of Allegheny, George r.
Mclean Of Luzerne. and E. e. Greena-
walt Of Lancaster.
The convention elected twelve dele
gates at large to the national conven-
ton and instructed them to vote for
Woodrow Wilson to the finish. The
platform advocates the initiative and
referendum, woman suffrage and the
enactment of laws to deprive the
judiciary of all executive duties and
prohibit it's interference with the func-
lions of the legislature in the employ
ment of the police power. The plat
form views with humiliation the un-
seemly controversy between the Presi-
dent and the former President. It ad-
yocates the referendum in election

The Washington state democratic con-
yention, In session at Walla Walla yes
terday, voted to indorse Champ Clark
as its candidate for President. The vote
stood: Clark, 455; Wilson, 1O6; Bryan,
1851; Harmon, III.
Prior to the vote and during it's prog
ress an attempt was made to stampede
the convention for w. j.. Bryan, but it
was unsuccessful.
The crux of the fight for control Of the
convention was over the Kings county
GSeattle) delegations. One Of these, called
the elected or primary" delegation, was
instructed for Gov. Wilson Of New Jer-
sey, while the other delegation, compris-
ing delegates favorable to both Clark and
Harmon, contested the elected dele
gates seats in the convention.
The credentials committee voted to ad-
and the convention voted to seat both
delegations.
Champ Clark's followers then assumed
undoubted control of the convention with
majority of about $50.
When the roll call on seating the Kings
county delegates was completed and the
result announced the threatened bolt of
the Wilson delegation took place. Charles
H. Heifner, chairman Of the state CEN
trail convention, and also western man
ager for Woodrow Wilson. rose from his
place on the platform, tore the badge
from his lapel. and threw it away.
Il am no longer member of the DEM
ocratic party he said.
Heifner's example was Immediately fol-
lowed by most Of the other members of
the elected" delegation.
AS result the Clark people will be
able to put through the entire program
without delay or opposition.
Washington's fourteen votes In the ma
tional democratic convention will be cast
solidly for Clark as long as the Mis-
sourian is conceded to have chance.

Recent Wilson Successes.

Woodrow Wilson headquarters gave out
the following:
with South Carolina and Porto Rico
to his credit Gov. Woodrow Wilson cap
tured yesterday twenty-four delegates to
the Baltimore convention, more than on
setting the election of sixteen delegates
in Maryland, committed to the candidacy
of Speaker Clark.
THE victory in the South Carolina
county convention was complete, insuring
the selection OF eighteen delegates to the
national convention instructed to vote
for the Jersey governor There were no
instructions in any of the counties for
the other candidates. The delegates
elected yesterday will meet in state con-
vention the 18th.
Added to the South Carolina result are
the six votes of Porto Rico. which gives
Go. Wilson twenty-four of the forty dele
gates chosen yesterday to the Baltimore
convention. This showing of strength fol-
lowing the great victory in Texas-the
biggest democratic state in the nation
has immensely gratified the friends OF
Gov. Wilson, who are more confident than
ever that he will be nominated for the
presidency at Baltimore"

CALL|NCER BILL 0. KID
BY CONGRESS HEIGHTS
Public Improvement Associa-
ton Believes Meters Are
Due Citizens.

The Public Improvement Association Of
Congress Heights. at it's meeting in the
town hall on Alabama avenue last night,
Endorsed the Gallinger bill, recently intro
duced in the Senate. fixing the water rates
Of the District, in preference to the bill
suggested by Commissioner Judson.
Charles ]. P. Weber pointed to the fact
that his house was wider than the house
of a next door neighbor. and for this
reason, even though he did not consume
as much water, he was required to pay
more water rent The question of meter
installation was discussed and M. j. Fill
Illus informed the association he had
made application for a meter. but he was
told that there were no meters available
for suburban premises. Members Of the
association voiced the opinion that the
Commissioners should be compelled to
furnish meters when requested.
Statements were made before the asso-
citation that the west side of Nichols
avenue, between Sheridan road and Port
land street. is in worse condition than
ever before, and that during rainy wealth
er it is practically impossible to drive
heavy team over the road. Transfers
are not permitted to drive on the east
side of the street, and many instances
were cited where travel was delayed. and
teamSterS were forced deliberately to vlO-
late the regulations because they could
not get their heavy wagons through the
deep mud. The association decided to ask
the Commissioners to make improvements
and also to require the railway company
to do likewise. since the gravel ballast
has sunk to such an extent that travel
is impossible.
