Three or Four Reform
Speeches in New Jersey.

WASHINGTON, April 1s-President
Wilson had an unusual number Of call
ers today as we'll as d cabinet meeting
| that he might have a half holiday to-

The president was urged today by
State Chairman Edward L. Grosscup
and State Senator j. Warren Davis
OF New Jersey to spend at least two or
| three days on the stump there speaking
for jury reform and the necessity for a
state constitutional convention. Mr..
Wilson has not yet completed his plans,
but it is doubtful whether he will be
able to devote more than one day.
Senators Bryan and Lea and Repre-
sentative Dupre recommended to the
president the appointment to a dIPlo-
matte post Of the Rev. Otis j. Glaze
brook of Elizabeth, N. j.
Representative Raker of California
arranged to see the president some time
tomorrow about the Japanese situation.
DR.. Charles W. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard, who declined
President Wilson s offer to be embas-
sador to Great Britain, was invited to
be at the white house late today. He
was expected to discuss civil service
reform with the president.
Members of the cabinet afterward
said that the Japanese question was not
discussed. Secretary Bryan said mel
ther he nor any other cabinet member
had been suggested to go to California,
as had been reported.

REVISE PARTY RULES

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-F'ormal de-
mand upon The officers Of the Republi-
can national committee to take action
toward securing a Republican convention
next fall for a revision OF the party 8
rules is expected to result from Informal
conferences that have been going on
here for some time among Republican
leaders who favor the convention idea.
Representations thus far made to Chair
man Hilles and other officers of the COM
nlittee have failed TO bring any action
1t is understood that Senator Cum
minis and others active with him in the
convention Idea are taking steps to bring
about the national gathering. The party
reformers insist that the basis of south
ern representation In national conven-
tions must be changed and that pro-
visions must be made so that state pri-
mary laws shall control the election OF
national convention delegates.

tn HE growth Of cities is always an
interesting study to the think
ing men Of the world and when
a town grows without extraordinary
natural advantages beyond the village
stage there must be a reason. Usually
this reason is to be found in the per-
sonality and enterprise of the people
who are residents at the beginning Of
things. In the southland where the
climate aids in the growth of towns it
Is possible to find good sized cities that
have been brought about by the natural
drift Of mankind to places where his
fellows live. This does not hold good
in this state and any town that reaches
the size of 1000 people with only the
agricultural resources of the surround
ing country to draw upon must be COM
posed of men who have the red blood
Of progress in their veins.
The history of Casselton is proof Of
the truth Of this fact. This is a town
located in 1871 by Peter B. Cheney and
| George w. Cass, who were at that time
prominent in the directory of the
Northern Pacific railroad. The town
was named after Mr.. Cass. who in on
n~ection with Mr.. Cheney, purchased, in
1874, about 10, 900 acres of what Is now
the Dalrymple farm.
The first man to live in Casselton.
was Mike Smith, who was sent here
by Col. John H.. Stevens of Minneap-
oils to. superintend the planting Of
trees and vegetables on the present
site of Casselton, and the first perma-
nent resident was Emil Priewe, ST.,
who erected a cabin south of where.
the elevator now stands. The town
site was laid out in 1877 n the first
house. now occupied by Lloyd Lynch,
was built by VIM. Creswell, the
Northern Pacific agent. The first store
building was that Of Hubbard &c Tyler,
