Democrats Not Opposed to
Central Bank.
SINGLE LETTER OMITTED
Dropping of "f" From Section Refer.
ring to AIdrich Plan Radically
Changes the intentions of the
Writers of the Platform.

Washington, Nov. 24.-The discov
cry that the national Democrat,
platform of 1912 has been tampered
with caused a sensation in Democrat
ic circes and gave relief to the Dem
ocratic advocates of a central bank
under government control.
The omission of the single letter
''f' by the men who printed the plat
form publicly committed the party
in power to opposition to a central
institution, in spite of the views en-
tertained by many senators that such
an institution would be in the best
interest of the currency situation in
the United States.
Examination 6 the original draft
of the currency plank adopted by the
committee on resolutions, which was
written by Senator O'Gorman of New
York and which was said to have re
ceived the approval of William Jen
nings Bryan, who was a member o'
the committee, shows that the plat
form does not denounce a central
bank, but only the Aldrich plan fol
a central bank under private control
AS the platform appears in print
it declares:
I'VE oppose the so called Aldrich
monetary bill or the establishment
of a central bank
As the platform was written by
Senator O'Gorman and adopted by
the resolution committees it declar'
ed:
I'VE oppose the so called Aldrich
monetary bill for the establishment
of a central bank"
The fact that in the printed plat
form a comma does not appear be-
tween the words bill and cor" is
cited as proof that 1t was never in
tended to commit the party against
a central bank.

Took Precautions to Keep
Himself in Power.
WANTED SMALL VOTE CAST
Out by Provisional President Prior
York City.

New York, Nov. 24.-The fac-simile
of printed instructions which purport
to be those issued by General Huerta
in preparation for the recent presiden
tial election in Mexico has been re-
ceived here. A translation of the
document is interesting, as showing
some of the precautions taken by Gen.
eral Huerta to keep himself in power.
The instructions apply particularly
to the state of Puebla and read in
part as follows:
"If any of the municipal presidents
are in league with any of the revolu-
tionary parties they must be removed
from Office discreetly, so that there
may be entire cooperation between
the municipal presidents and the jefe
politico.
1T is especially advisable that the
men appointed to supervise the poll
ing shall be trustworthy persons, who
will unhesitatingly obey any orders
given to them.
Ill l0tTe Is SLlll lilile OIu6lS are u
be given that the booths intended to
receive the votes of persons living on
ranches shall not be installed in the
towns or villages corresponding to the
ranches, but in one of the ranches,
so that the watchers may not attend,
the principal object aimed at being
to omit elections in at least two-thrds
of the polling booths in each district.
For this reason, not more than -
booths are to be installed in your dis
trict.
Blank ballots will be used in the
polling booths which may be estab-
lished, so that the absolute majority
of votes cast shall give the following
result:
"President-General Victoriana Hu-
erta.
Vice President-General Aureliano
BlanQuet."

The Raid on the New Haven Road.

The persistent attacks upon the New Haven road are bearing bitter fruit. The results of the organized efforts to sdown" MT Mellen at any cost are tre- menduously apparent in the steady drop in the New Haven stock and the talk of passing or cutting the roads established eight per cent. dividend. It's 8 mighty serious matter for New England, this game of sand-bagging the great railroad system which is so vital to New Eng lands very existence.
 While in many quarters people are wondering what effect democratic tariff legislation will have upon New England industries the question is of compara- lively small moment compared with the present plain evidence of New Haven road wrecking scheme to be carried for ward at any cost by blatant friends" of the pubic interest .-Meriden Record.

Clitus H. King of Fairfield making the license fee in all places of 15,000 or more population $750 instead of $450 as at present and lastly a measure compelling saloons to close on Good Frioay and Thanksgiving day.

 pany Never Did Better Business.
 "Business was never better in the history of our Company, said ex-Sena. tor Charles W. Barnum, president of the Barnum Richardson Company, in an interview few days ago. Every one of our furnaces is in blast, and even at that, we are unable to keep up with our orders. I wish we had more furnaces to put into operation. In every depart ment of our works the condition is the same-running to full capacity and still behind orders. And from the present outlook this condition seems fair to con- tinue indefinitely.
 "From our viewpoint the country, In- dustrially, is enjoying an unequalled degree of prosperity, and it would seem that nothing but series of political blunders on the part of the powers of government, state or national. can pre- vent this era of industrial prosperity from continuing"

 "Mamma's new bonnet is taupe straw, trimmed with midnight blue hus bandman's satin, flying from it's stern g Newmandie (? as to the spelling and use of capital N) plume with sub. deco rations of fruits, flowers, nuts and toys Forward of the paddle box. two russet crullers ornament the craft on the port side and the bow is made beautiful with gilt pretzel nestling in bed of green plush roses, growing on back ground o1 crimson mush.

 'Papa says he can take the whole af- fair before an Investigating committee and prove that the actual cost of mate. rial and labor used in it's construction and employed upon it did not reach the $3 mark, and that the marked down stunt has been used as a ruse to fool hus. bands who were mellow enough to fall for it ever since somebody discovered that woman's hair wasn't of sufficient density to protect her inferior brain
