In Wisconsin.

Woodrow Wilson polled approximate
ly thirty four of the fifty thousand
democratic votes cast in the Wisconsin
state primaries, and Will have the sup
port of at least twenty four of the
twenty six delegates elected from that
state to the Baltimore convention.
Speaker Champ Clark received only six
teen thousand votes in the entire state.
: Out of SO. 900 votes cast in the pri-
maries Gov. Wilson polled $4,000 to 49,
900 in favor of Speaker Clark. Gov
ernor Wilson carried 65 counties out of
Il, and won in ten of the eleven Cen
gressional districts. He has absolutely
committed to him % delegates out of
26. The Clark delegates chosen in Mil
waukee county under the terms of the
law must declare for Wilson because
Wilson carried Milwaukee county and
they are bound by the preferential vote.
Thus in the convention Wilson will have
"a votes from Wisconsin to two for
Clark.
Despite the utmost efforts of the
Clark managers to infame the minds of
the foreign born voters in Milwaukee.
Gov. Wilson carried the fourteenth
ward, the strongest Polish ward in the
city, and only lost by two votes the
twelfth ward, the boss of which is Judge
Blenski, Clark manager. 1t was a
victory of the most sweeping kind and
exceeded the most sanguine expecta-
lions.
If the county vote, which was largely
kept at home because of the condition
of the roads could have been gotten out,
Wilson'S majority would have been even
larger.

Aside from general legislation there
are but thee ways in which members
of Congress- can bring about the expen-
diture of government funds in their dis
tricts. These are through the passage
of pepsion bills, river and harbor bills
and public building bills It has been
determined by the House that there
viii be no public building bill at the
present session, although provision will
be made for the prosecution Of work
already begun under previous bills. This
leaves only river and harbor and pension
appropriations for the West Virginia
congressman to obtain for their dis
tricts. How well they have accomplish
ed this is shown by the fact that Of the
total amount appropriated in the river
and harbor bill almost one-fourth will
be expended in West Virginia, while the
members of Congress from West Vir-
ginia have far exceeded the average
number Of pension bills passed by the
House or reported upon by the commit
tees.
The Senate Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds has reported
favorabIy on Senator Watson's> bill for
a public building at Charles Town. Pine
cost is not to exceed sos. 900.
Both the probable candidates for Con-
gresham from the second district in

who is practically assured of renomi-
nation without opposition, il here at

GANIZED.

During the year the Engineering
College of West Virginia University

made definite unit. The same de-
grees are to be given az formerly, ex-
cept that the degree OF Bachelor Of
Science in Electrical Engineering win

grees are now offered in civil, mechan-
ical, electrical and mining engineering.

HOW THE RED
 CROSS SEAL ORIGINATED

-'How did the Red Cross Christmas Seal originator is question that is being asked by many during this holi- day season when millions of these 7t; stlekers are being sold all y;s eVer the the well-known social worker of New York, and Miss Emily P. Bissen. the energetic secretary of the Delaware of originating our American Red Cross Christmas Seal. In 1909 Mir. Riis' in terest was aroused by the receipt or Christmas tuberculosis stamp a article about this queer-1Ooking stamp in the Outlook, and suggested some possible uses for it in this country Miss Bissell at once saw an opportun- ity here and prepared stamp, from the sale of which her Society realized $3.O00 for tuberculosis work. So inn pressed was she with this success that she induced the American Red Cross to take up the sale in 1908 on a tional basis. With very little organi- zation and with hardly any attempt at careful advertising, the sale that year brought in, nevertheless, over $135, ,000 for ant-tuberculosis work in various parts of the United States. In 1909, with more thorough organization, the sale was increased to $230, 600, and in 1910 to nearly s310O0o. Last year the sale increased to over s330, 600, or
 While our own Red Cross Seal dates back only four years, charity stamps from which this idea origin ally sprung, go back to 1862, when sanitary fair stamps were first us ed in Boston to secure money for the care of soldiers wounded during the Civil War Nearly S1, ,000 900 was rais- ed in this way during the years 1882 to 1865. After the war this method of raising money was discontinued in in this country for a generation, al- though it found vogue in Portugal, Switzerland, Austria, France, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Russia, Sweden and other European countries. There are now hundreds of different types of charity stamps used in all parts of the world, as many as forty being ufs- ed in Austria for children's hospitals alone
 Stamps or seals were first used to get money for the anti-tubercu1oSiS crusade in Norway and Sweden in 1904. It was from one of these stamps that Jacob Fiis and Miss Bissell received their ideas for our own Red Gross Christmas Seal.

 The indictments charged conspiracy in restraint of trade, and were drafted under the sherman antitrust law, after the investigation of the closing of a refinery of the Pennsylvania Su- gar company, in Philadelphia, in 1903.
 The defendants were tried last year, but the jury disagreed.
 In addition to Parsons, the octo- genarian former counsel of the com pany, and Thomas, the former presi- dent, the other defendants were Ar thur Donner, treasurer and director; John Mayer and George IF. Frazier, directors.
 ''The government was unable,'' United States District Attorney Wise said. .to prove an affirmative act by within 8 period of three years prior to the date when the number was re- turned. Upon consulting with jurors I was informed that the principal req son for their being unable to agree upon a verdict was the statute of limitations.
