| simply favor the guest house as
local institution.
Mr.. Sedgwick said he had always
been one of the public spirited citi-
Zens OF Richmond and could not see
how anyone could form an opinion
that he was against an institution of
such character as the Guest House.
AS instancing his public spiritedness
Mr.. Sedgwick called attention to his
having been one of the early pro-
moters who made possible natural gas
for Richmond years ago Further
more, he said that despite the fact
that he lived in West Richmond and
would derive no direct property bene-
fit from Morton Lake, he had worked
hard for that proposition. Then he
called attention to the prominent
part he had taken in the movement
for Y. NJ. c. A. for Richmond, and
added that he was still very active in
helping direct the "Y' at the present
time. as still another instance of his
public spiritedness, Mr.. Sedgwick
said he was very busy helping the
drys in the local option campaign. He
said he was doing this for the good
of the town and hoped to see Rich
mond dry.
He said he was under the impress
sion that the community regarded
him as a public spirited man and it
was this reason he made a public
statement of his position regarding
the Guest House. He did not want
anyone to think he was against it as
a local institution.

incide with the effort on the part of
the ladies to raise funds for the work
ing girls home was thieatening the
success of the latter very seriously
Mr.. Sedgwick, though denying that
the Citizens committee is against the
Guest House proposition. according to
the ladies, told them that their cam
paign for funds was also interfering
with the drys. They said he mention
ed as an example of this, one man
who had turned down the dry appeal
for contribution on the grounds that
he had just made donation to the
Guest House and could not afford to
give. anything further
After Mr.. SedgWick had made his
escape from the ladies in front of the
Masonic building he was asked if he
was opposed to the Guest House.
NO, replied Mr., Sedgwick, some
one might have obtained that impress
sion from hearing just a portion OF
my conversation with those ladies'.
But what / did tell them was that /
personally thought a Y W. c. A.

ton would have gained them admit
tance to Y. ". c. AS in other cities

Friction between the Drys and the
members Of the Guest House commit
tee burst into flame when Richard
Dry forces and several members Of
the Guest House committee had it
out" in the Commercial Club rooms
yesterday afternoon. The discussion,
which was quite animated, was car
ried on by the ladies with Mr.. Sedg-
wick not only in the club rooms but
also on the sidewalk in front of the
Masonic building.
According to the ladies, Mr.. Sedg-
wick strolled into the Commercial
Club, which is also headquarters for
the Guest House committee, and in
reply to a request for a donation for
the proposed home for working girls
facetiously asked not to be bothered
as one of the ladies' committees had
already been pestering him for the
same object in West Richmond, where
he lives. He finally stated that he
would give $25 to the Guest House
provided Richmond went dry in the
coming local option election.
The ladies' Informed Mr.. Sedgwick,
so it was reported that the dry cam
paign fund committees had been In
terfering seriously with the contribu-
tions that were expected for the
Guest House. They stated that many
Of their committees were reporting
the loss of expected contributions as
the dry committees had gotten there
first. The ladies felt the injustice

Senator Sherman Declares
Ten States Could Control
Presidential Nominations
by Proposed Law.
FAVORS STATE LAW
Asserts Best Thing for Re-
publicans and PrOgressives
to Do is to Unite Their
Forces.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Point-
ing out the perils of a national pri-
mary act, Senator Lawrence Y. Sher-
man, Rep.) of Illinois today called up
on the Senate to enact a measure rec
ognizing state primary laws. He said
he based his opposition to a national
primary on the ground that ten states
could control presidential nominations.
Senator Sherman pointed out that
the states of California, Illinois, In-
diana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Missouri, New York, Ohio and Penn
sylvania cast the majority Of the pop
ular vote In general elections.
II advocate a recognition of state
primary laws and the extension of
their power to the selection of dele
gates to national conventions and the
election of national committeeman
said Senator Sherman.
''The purpose of nominating ticket
is to elect it and for the national COM
mittee to set aside the verdict of a
partys voters as expressed in a pri-
mary is suicidal
"The methods of the Republican ma
tional convention in Chicago in 1912.
can be justified by an appeal to neith-
those who seek to make this a basis
for the destruction of the Republican
party in the future. justify that course
II they persevere. The recent decision
of the Republican party has brought
about the destruction of our protec-
tive system. The new tariff law is a
heavy blow to the wage Garner and the
producers of the country. Under the
pretense Of reducing the high cost of
living the Democratic party has cut
our payrOlls in two and reduced moth
ing but the ability of American labor
to earn a living.
Republicans who are progressive,
or progressives who are Republicans
need not spend time debating about
whether the division of 1912 will de-
stroy the party. What both want is
results. They can better secure them
by union"

christianity fills mans pockets

was the expression used by L. z. Al
hson, a Dayton. o., travelling man
evangelist, in describing the liquor
situation at the Honeywell tabernacle,
last evening. This is Mr.. Allisons
second appearance in this city dur
dry.
in taking up the subject, The
Elimination of Booze from the
standpoint of a travelling man, Mr.. AL
iison spoke as follows:
mere was time in the history
OF the travelling profession when the
representative of firm or industry
was permitted TO spend money lavish
ly for the entertainment of his pro-
posed buyers. Unlimited expenses
were granted him, but that time is
now mere history. Competitive mar
kets have made it rule that no por-
tlon OF mans expense account is to
be spent for booze.
This is especially viewed in the au-
tomobile business. for a few months
ago the representatives were given
free reigns and often their booze ac-
counts were the reason why the cars
were sold. But IL came TO a show
down. and when the various compan-
les began Looping off prices then the
expenses of the travelling salesman
were ordered decreased and the first
thing which went off the list was the

was so much opposition to this style
of obtaining good customers that they
ceased the policy.
