Suggestions for the Dem.
ocratic Convention.

As suggested by The Messen-
ger last week. the Democratic
Convention should take great
pains to nominate a strong
ticket. The party in power and
the party which expects again
to win the election must be more
careful in its nominations than
a party which places men on
its tickets without any real hope
of success. The Democratic
party expects to win out and it
wants men in office who are
faithful servants of the people
and who are good business men.
At the same time we want to
give the people the kind of gov
eminent demanded by them. 1t
has always been our part to do
this. Others glibly promise
great things knowing they will
never be called on to keep their
promises. but it is different with
us who make promises to BE-
kept.
While there has never been
any demand upon the part of
our Republican friends for di-
rect primary, yet there does
seem to be a demand for it by
many Worcester County Dem
ocrats. The matter was sub
mitted TO the voters of both par
ties az the Gubernatorial
primaries in 1911 and the result
was a very decisive majority
against direct primaries-near-
ly every Republican vote in the
county being in opposition to
direct primaries at that cleo
ton.
Many things can happen in
two years, and we are now per-
suaded that many Democrats
who voted against the direct
nominations of candidates have
changed their minds. and are
now in favor of the system in
use in other counties of the
Eastern Shore. Therefore. we
would suggest that the dele.
gates TO the County Convention
consider well this question. and
if they are convinced that such
is the case, TO incorporate in
our platform a pledge that the
next Legislature will place
Worcester County in line with
the other counties, and pass a
law that will apply to all par
ties alike. We are progressive,
and if this is progression in the
right direction, let us have it.
Delegates to the convention
should bury all factional feel
ings and unite for the welfare
of the party and the people in
doing the right thing. And we
believe this will be the result.

LION IN HIS DEN"
Temper of American People Will

Vice President Delivers Stirring
Address Before Democratic CIub


New York, April 13.-Vice Presi-
dent Marshall served warning last
night on men Of vast wealth and on
special interests" that the temper
OF the American people had reach
ed piont where it no longer would
brook oppression. He told the
members OF the National Democratic
Club that the spirit Of unrest was
such that unless reckoned with the
institutions of the government
might be jeopardized and the com
try revert to paternalism or tpfn to
socialism.
Current opinion holds<justly or

duct OF certain men in this city of

therefore, to BEARD the lion in his

ger and longing for happiness are
abroad In the land. They are per-
turbing the waking hours and col
oring the dreams Of millions of
Americans who, after ali, have the
right to say what shall or shall not

The Vice President declared his
warning was the result OF observa-
tions of conditions in 27 Northern
states during the recent presidential
campaign. Swollen fortunes and
the accumulation of great wealth
through governmental privileges
granted, he held, had much to do
with the discomfort.
Along with general prosperity
has come marvellous piling up of
colossal private fortunes. Notwith-
standing charges against me that /
have freely assaulted the posses
sors of these fortunes, / know in my
own heart that such a view of my
public utterances is a mistaken one.
My assaults, If / have made any,
have not been directed at the pos
SCISSORS of the fortunes, but at the
principles of government which con-
tribute, directly or indirectly, to
the accumulation of fortunes. The
piiing up of colossal fortunes, sup
plemented by general diffusion OF
knowledge, has made large bodies

WILSON STRONGER
AFTER FIRST WEEK
His Work With Special Tariff Ses-
sion One of Notable Achieve
ment-Strengthen Action.

Washington, April 14.-President
wilson emerged from the first week
OF the special tariff session of Con-
gress apparently in a stronger posi-
tion as the active leader of Democ-
racy than at any time since he as
sumed the presidency. Within the
brief space OF seven days he had
won a victory in the caucus of
mouse Democrats for his free sugar
program; had formed a working
agreement with the Democratic
leaders Of the senate which it is be-
lieved will insure general support
OF his tarih program in that BODY:
and had established precedents of
presidential cooperation with Com
Sress which, II successful, are ex-
pected greatly to influence the en-
tire program of legislation through
out the Wilson administration. The
PRESIDENTS visit to Congress Tues
day to deliver his opening address
In person; and his visit to the SEN
ate precincts next day to confer
WIN hnance committee members
upon the tariff plans, oyershadowed
all other developments of the week
In public interest. Leaders OF both
houses who have sounded out septf-
ment In Democratic ranks, since the
seventh occurred, declared the ef-
tect OF the Presidents innovations
mas been to strengthen Democratic
unity OF action as to leave the Pres
ldent In dominating position at
the outset of his administration.
AT all points where Mr.. Wilson'S
declslonS were instrumental in the
hxlng OF rates in the new tariff bill,
the tull Democratic membership of
the house voted to sustain him in
CAncnS nv hpaVU ai
leaders who deferred to him in the
hXlng OF many of the tariff rates
nave supported his decisions and
successfully rallied party support
to his defense as the bill has been
fought over by the Democratic
members.
The tariff revision fight admitted
ly is only begun; but the develop
ments of the last week have con-
vlnced party leaders that there are
likely to be few changes from the
rate favored by the President; and
little dissension within Democratic
ranks over the final approval of the
bill. The wool fight will come in
the house caucus early this week.
While Democratic minority organ
ization of 40 or more representa-
yves Will attempt to upset the
Presidents free wool program, it is
expected that the administration
will be sustained by a large majori-
ty as 1T was in the fight on the
sugar tariff provision Saturday.
Senate leaders have pledged to
the President their support of the
sugar and wool provisions as finally
adopted in the house. 1t is believed
that the attempted organization be-
tween opponents of free sugar and
in tla
acquire sufficient strength to alter
the BILL Senator Meyers of Mon
tana who has been counted upon by
some of the anti-free wool forces as
their ally, has informed members
OF the finance committee and has
stated publicly that he favors the
free wool program and will actively
upheld the Presidents course as to

1illman Says Navy Yard is Dis
Criminated Against

Washington, April Ex-senator
Tillman yesterday wrote very
strong letter to the navy depart
ment protesting against the manner
in which skilled mechanics and su-
pervisors OF repair work are taken
away from the Charleston navy
yard by offers of higher wages from
other yards on the Atlantic coast.
The senator, who is chairman of
the naval committee Of the senate
urges that skilled men should re-
ceive just as high compensation for
their work at the Charleston yard
as at any other, and refers to the
discrimination practiced by the
former secretary, Mr. Meyer, who
apparently could not find any navy
yard south of Hampton Roads, ex-
ccpt the station at Guantanamo
Cuba, worthy of his announcement
The senator also calls to the atten-
tion OF the new administration Of
the department the need OF more
officers at the Charleston yard, and
goes in detail and with great vigor
into the whole subject. For OBJ
vious reasons he would not permit
his letter to be quoted verbatim. 1t
IS thought that it will make a decid-
ed impression upon the department.
