BUTCHERS SHOW
MUCH FINE BEEF

"Show Beef Day.. an annual affair
among butchers, both wholesale and
retail, will be celebrated tomorrow and
the various meat stores assumed a
holiday aspect this morning. The vari-
GUS stands were dressed with choice
cuts of beef and other meats and small
flags aud ribbons were interspersed
with garlands of green's on many Of
the stalls.
When questioned this morning as to
the origin of "Show Beef Day" few, if
any, of the butchers could give an ex-
PLANTATION. but they all agreed that the
habit dated before the War of 1912.
One butcher said he thought the idea
originated following the death of
George Washington, whose birthday is
celebrated by meat dealers through
"Show Beef Day.
Among those whose stalls were
trimmed with the national colors and
bearing choice meats were Johnson
Brothers, two stores. Seventh and
King street and No. 305 King street.
Another store which has been made
tempting with meats, is that Of
Thomas J. Hart. northwest corner OF
Seventh and King streets.
John Thompson, the well-known
butcher, with stalls in the City Mar
ket, has dressed his four stalls in a
pleasing manner. Mr.. Thompson has
obtained four fine steers from Ian

PRIMARIES
Tells Third Ward Club the

IDEA ELIMINATED

Conditions Confronting Us Today
was the subject OF an address by
Charles L. Curley before the Third
Ward Democratic Club at No. 625
West Front street last evening. The
address was listened to by large
number of voters and following the
introduction Of the speaker by John
M. Dorney, who presided. Mr.. Curley
congratulated the club members for
making an early start in the 1912
campaign. Mr. Curley dwelt on the
fact that the Democratic party was
the Oldest national party Of today and
the principles had been kept alive.
These. he contended, were to be the
ones that would solve the problems
of today. Mr. Curley advocated an
amendment to the Constitution Of the
United States, providing that United
States Senators be eleced by direct
vote.
Continuing. Mr.. Curley said "This
is good Democratic doctrine anyhow.
and if more votes were cast for a Re-
publican than for Democrat for the
Office. the Republican ought to go to
Washington, and Il would be the mis-
fortune of the Democratic party not
to have had the stronger man. That
the question should not be looked at
from selfish party viewpoint because
il is National and not party, and
even If the Democrats were outnum-
bered in the State now. they would
come into their own sometime, and
meanwhile Senators would represent
the State at Washington. who had
been chosen by the voters" Mr..
Curley was convinced that the reso-
luton passed by the Democrat Coun-
ty Executive Committee. favoring the
nomination Of candidates for State
and county Offices and the election
Of delegates to National conventions,
by direct vote, represented the judr-
