DEMOCRATSW WILL
STAND TOGETHER
Realize There Must be Reunion
of Forces; Elimination
of Party Factions.
ARE HAND SHAKING NOW
Brown and Cannon Extend
''GIad Nit" and are to
Work Together.
ARE HAND SHAKING NOW

Realizing that there must be a
reunion of forces to overcome several
obstacles In order to win the coming
|fall, Democrats are beginning to
stand together, it is declared, and
ia tions have been eliminated by
Misunderstanding. The reported Burke
Brown faction and the regular Demo-
Gratis have reunited in q concerted
effort to score a Democratic victory.
Mr.. Brown, who is prominent at
torney -at-law in this city, openly ad-
mitted this today. He stated that
although at one time bitter enemies
with County Clerk Bernard NJ Gan
non and his adherents, they had ex-
tended the glad nit to each other
to work in unison to overcome GER
tain obstacles.
1t is admitted by some Democratic
leaders and others that there has
been an uprising of feeling against
the present Democratic administra-
ton over the manner in which politi-
cal plums have been handed out.
Republicans and Progressives say
they have heard of it. while the
Democrats are working quietly in an
might have in the coming election
When the factions were at odds,
there was much bitterness between
them. Those in power gave no recog-
milton to their opponents when 1t
came to handling out political berths,
is the complaints. The reunion seems
to have effected change in this pol
icy, with the result that members OF
the once alleged Burke-Brown faction
are to be recognized in the future, 1t
is understood. 1t has been known for
some time that Mr. Brown would like
to be city attorney and as C. C. HON
mann, the present city attorney, is
slated for district court judge to sue
ceed j. w. Beekman, it is probable
that Mr. Brown will realize his am
bition 1t is also understood that
Richard A. Bolger, who is now pres
ident of the harbor board may be
given an office little more lucrative
than the one he now holds.
| Eugene Mullen, an undertaken. 'oi
New Brunswick avenue, announces

Flynn, his former partner Mr..
Flynn, as told, seeks to land the
nomination for aldermanic candidate
on the Democratic ticket in the third
word.
1t was announced today by the
Progressive Club of this city that the
Progressives would conduct an active
season and that they would keep en-
tirely from other political parties
This announcement comes as blow
to the Republicans. who it is declar-
ed, were laying plans for uniting
with the Progressives to overcome
Democratic strength this fall
There will be monthly meeting
of the Progressive Club in it's head

ARb|TRATORS To
ACT BY TONIGHT.
Men Appointed by Union and
N. J. Terra Gotta Plant
Confer Tomorrow.
THIRD PARTY FOR BOARD

Mayor Ferd Garretson, mediator in
the differences existing btwen tn
New Jersey Terra Gotta Company and
the pressers of that plant, expects
each side to present the name of it's
arbitrator by tonight. The man ap-
pointed by the company and the man
appointed by the union are then to
confer tomorrow as to the third par
ty TO compose the arbitration board.
In statement issued by the
Pressers' union and made public to-
day the pressers take exception to
the statement signed by foremen and
certain employees of the New Jersey
company and published in the NEWS
Saturday. They declare 1t not only
shows bad form at time when ar
bitration of the differences is about to
be entered into, but declare thatit
also shows that the men signing the
article have not thoroughly investi-
gated the merits of the case. 1t fol-
lows:
"Our attention has been called to a
signed statement contained in your is
sue of May End
THE statement in question con-
tains the opinions Of certain of the
companies foremen and of certain
individuals as to the present contro-
Versy between the New Jersey
Terra Gotta Company and the en-
ployees of the Pressing department.
I'VE would submit that the issu-
ing of statement of that kind, at a
time when the parties directly inter
ested are appointing arbitrators, is
not only unethical, but also tends to
create antogonism and resentment
and make 1t more difficult to reach
an amicable settlement.
Furthermore none of the men
who signed the statement in question
are employed in the pressing depart
ment nor have they made an impair
tial investigation, therefore 1t is i'm
possible for them to have a clear un-
derstanding Of the matters In dispute
Yet they have permitted themselves
to become parties to move manifest
ly intended to influence public opin-
lon against their fellow workers.
THE fact that arbitration WAS ac-
cepted by both sides clearly establish
es the fact that q real difference Of
opinion does exist and the statement
In your issue of May End In our opin-
ion, proves that the agitators and real
troublemakers do not carry union
cards.

Special by United Press Wire,
Vera Cruz, ay 4:-The determina-
ton of Dictator Huerta to draw
American forces in to Mexico City to
save him from the rebels was respon-
slble for the demand made Saturday
for the surrender of the water works
outside Vera Cruz. Renewed reports
reached here that General Mas is
preparing to attack the American
troops here with force of 1900
men This is further indication of
the step decided upon by Huerta.
Insiders know that the delay of the
Americans in starting for the capital
has greatly embarrassed Huerta.
Having failed to reunite Mexico he Is
playing his next card towards getting
American protection against destruc-
tion at the hands of the rebels.
NHuerta is incensed at Rojas, for
mer minister of foreign affairs and
the latter being a clerical his friends
now fear he will be seized and inn
prisoned by the dictator as many
members of the house of deputies
have been.

Special By United Press Wire.

Denver, Colo, May 4:-To pay the
price for the seven months strike and
civil war in southern Colorado, the
state legislature met here in special
session today in response to the call
of Governor Ammons. Although the
principal purpose OF the session as
specified in the call is the appropria-
ton OF funds to meet the cost of
maintaining state troops In the field
and to pass other laws suggested by
the strike, these will probably be
overshadowed at the outset by plan
to impeach the governor. That such
a resolution will be introduced in the
House seems certain, but friends of
the executive are sure it will fail.

Washington, May At is still up
to Huerta. That was even more the
position of the United States today
than it has been for more than a
year. He retains the power to force
drastic action. If the activities on
the part OF General Mas troops at
Vera Cruz increases the mediation
conference will blow up with a loud
noise even before they are well com
menced. That has been maintained
by the President and his advisers.
They believe the demonstrations at
Vera Cruz are intended as a bluff.
but If persisted in the bluff is to be
called by the rifles of the marine de-
tachments and of the fighting fifth
brigade. The three mediators in
Washington have again been fatty
told that all continued participation
in the mediation negotiations de-
pends entirely on the immuneness of
American troops and Americans gem
ernally from any attacks whatsoever
by MeXicans.
The general staff has completed its
plan for reenfOrcements for Funston
If they are needed. The transports
are due at Galveston. They will be
reproyisioned and kept in readiness
with steam up to transfer another
brigade to Vera Cruz. The President
hopes it will not be needed.

Bitter Struggle.


Washington. May 4.-With sides
sharply drawn formal debate to the
administration bills repeating the act
exempting American vessels from
payment of tolls in the Panama ca
nal opened in the senate today.
At the outset both sides were con-

and uncompromising was indicated
by the attitude of senators today
discussing the measure in the lobby.
President Wilson and the Demo-

attacked on the grounds that the
present attitude of the administra-
tion is submissive to Great Britain.
The Presidents supporters will say
that the repeal will uphold national
honor of the United States and the
spirit of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.

opponents this afternoon.
