DOESN'T FAVOR 80
Death PENALTY

BOSTON, MASS Special.-Alexan-
der McGregor, the councillor upon
whose vote will probably depend the
life of Mrs. Lena Cusumano, under
sentence of death for the murder of
her husband. when the Governors
council meets next Wednesday, has
animated that he will vote against
communication, according to dispatches
rom Umbagog Lake, Maine.
Mr.. McGregOr is at Melalac Lake.
Questioned as to his attitude upon the
death penalty, he said:
I have always heard and believed
that the laws of Massachusetts, were
the best, the people of Massachusetts
the fairest and justice in Massachu-
sets courts the highest. When 1 took
the oath as councillor I Swore to up
hold, rather than to ObstruCt or
nullify, the States laws.
when the people of the State wish
the death penalty put aside they Will
change the laws. The Legislature OF
1912. by a large majority, refused to
put aside the present law on the stat
ute book. The representatives and
the senators stand for the people and
express the sentiments Of their con-
stituents.
However, I do not wish to state
how L Will vote next Wednesday. I
have not been informed Of the grounds
upon which Communication is sought"
Mr.. McGregOr planned to start to-
day for Boston. He was the only
councillor absent last Wednesday when
the council voted four to four on the
question Of committing the sentence

WASHINGTON, d. c. Speciol.-An
assertion by Representative Shackle-

sible for the Canadian reciprocity bill

tumble debate.

torted that the people would hold the

reiterating that President Taft ia

Of an eN-President"

Colonel Roosevelt, and Representa-
tive Hardwick. of Georgia. chided him

country who has advocated the re-
call of judicial decisions" asserted Mr..
Hardwick.

nounced Bryan as a Socialist because

HOLIDAYS AFFECT
STOCK MARKETS

NEW YORK Special Henry
Jews * Co, IN their weekly financial
say:
Holidays at home and abroad
tended to materially restrict stock
market operations. Another in
fluence which discouragcs activ-
ity is the approach of the con-
VentionS this month at Chicago
and Baltimore Some idea can
be formed rs TO the fOrthcom-
ing candidates for the presidency,
but thus far little has been said
or made known AS TO the plat
form OF either party. At the mo-
ment this Is of even more impOr-
lance than the personnel of the
candidates. Radicalism is ram
pant in nearly all parts of the
country, especially in the West;
hence the formal declarations of
each side Will be awaited with in
tense interest. The technical pO-
sition of the market Is also some
what uncertain, the recent rise
having been engineered by par
ties who have not entirely sue
ceeded in diSpOSing of their sur
plus stocks. Whether they will
ultimately succeed or not remains
to be seen.
As 10 the future course of the
market, in view of present Do
basis upon which to carry "A
much further upward movement
mt this time. Should the politi-
cal atmosphere clear and appear
more hopeful. then stocks may
be bought with greater conf
dence. Should such tendencies
prove unfaVorable and the rising
tide of radicaIism prove more un-
settling. then securities are likely
to be offered more freely with a
depressing effect. The crop out
look il of equal, If not of greater,
importance than politics. With
out good crops an active forward
movement wifi be impossible.
Strong banking support Is still I'm
evidence, owing to the eXtraOr-
binary abundance of new issues,
which have not yet passed into
strong boxes and are still partly
I'm the hands of distributors. In
trinSic conditions may be sound,
but caution and patience are de-
SirabIe until political and crop
uncertainties begin to disappear.
