Votesfor Women Column

Many a of campaigning for wo-
man suffrage has revealed the fact
that it is good politics to oppose the
candidates who do not favor the pro-
position in any given election.
While the influence Of women is not
as strong as votes could make it, wo-
men nevertheless have a modicum of
influence in such matters that might
suffice to turn the scale in a close con-
test. Adding their influence to that Of
the large number of men who believe
in fair play even where women are
concerned, and the result Is not a
neglible quantity as has been proven
more than once. Acting upon this
suggestion the Universal Franchise
league decided to interrogate the can
didates regarding their stand upon the
"yotes for women" amendment and
with gratifying results. The league
regrets that space forbids publication
in full of the letters but excerpts from
several of them will be given below.
Mr.. Wallace e. Purdy whom the
league takes this occasion to thank
for much valuable information, says
In reply: "Will say that I am in
hearty accord with the movement and
will be pleased to do anything in my
power to advance the cause"
Mr.. Lewis Oleson after correcting
the mistake In the Home Journal that
records him as opposing the amend
ment for resubmission when 1t passed
the legislature, by a reference to page
564 of the Daily Journal in refutation
thereof, says: "For several years l
have been convinced that equal SUI.
frage Is no more than a fair demand"
Mr.. J. p. Alexander says: II am
fully committed to the proposition Of
equal political rights for men and wo-
men. and that / shall vote for amend
ment to the constitution of this state
comforting such rights"

CIRCLE MISSING

The circle al the head of the ballot
having been abolished by law, the
voters OF South Dakota are for the
first time called upon to place a cross
in the square beside the name OF
every candidate for whom they wish
TO vote, says a Pierre dispatch. 1t is
% expected that much confusion will
result from the elimination of the
party circle.
Under the old law. the use of the
circle was optional, being only for
those who wished to vote a straight
party ticket. To make sur of casting
a legal ballot a large proportion Of the
voters in former elections have voted
by making a mark before the name of
each candidate Of their choice, and
have left the party circle severely
alone.
II is not believed therefore that the
circle will be greatly missed, although
the mar who has always voted a
straight party ticket will find that it
will take him a little longer to mark
his ballot.

Of those who win in the race.
The domestic science department is

to keep up with ala orders from the

The cooperation of the homes is a
great incentive to make this work very
efficient.
The manual training department is
now working on several pieces Of fur

Congress Will Pass Law.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Offcial Wash ington today seemed to approve the action of J. P. Morgan and Company in severing connection with the other corporations, but it was not believed it would prevent an attempt i'll con gress at the present session to enact legislation to prohibit interlocking direCtorates.
 There was an impression that while the action was a step in the right li- rection, it did not signalize the break up of the so-called money trust.
 Lawyers who followed the course of the money trust investigation by the house committee pointed out that the connections severed for the most part with with railroads. So far as these officials could see from the 'n- formation at hand the relations be. tween some of the big financial in. stitutions in New York have not been broken, though this might follow
 Representative Lindbergh of Min. nesota, author of bill to prohibit in terlocking directorates, said tonight:
 'T doubt if the action of Morgan and Company will have any effect on legislation. It is in line with the evi dent purpose of big business to try to meet the demands of the people and is in anticipation of legislation.

PARIS SENTENCED
 FOR SECOND TIME
JUDGE FAILED TO STATE DE CREE OF MURDER HE WAS
 CHARGED WITH.

Los Angeles. Jan. 2.--For the sec ond time within six days, Ralph Far. iss, the young bandit who shot and killed Horace A. Montague, travelling passenger agent of the Southern Pa, cifc, while holding up train near this city, was sentenced today to be hanged at San Quentin prison within ninety days.
 Superior Judge Gavin Craig, in passing sentence. said attempts to prove Fariss insane were ridiculous and childish"
 Fariss, captured in San Francisco by a honeymoon couple, who recog- nized him from a street car as the robber who had robbed the train they were on, was tried, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to death in less than three hours of court procedure last Saturday.
 On Monday the objection was rais ed that the district attorney in his information, and the judge in passing sentence, had neglected to state the degree of murder charged. Judge Craig ordered reopening of the case but refused to let Fariss withdraw his plea of guilty Counsel for the prisoner then attempted to prove him insane.

VICE MINERALS ID
 BE CREATED SOON
SECRETARY DANIELS THINKS THEY WILL BE NEEDED IN
 OUR FOREIGN SERVICE.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Congress will be asked to create four vice admirals in the United States navy immediate ly after the holiday recess. Secre- tary Daniels today said he had de- termined on this course to avoid the possibility of embarrassment to the American navy i'll foreign service.
 Frequently, MT. Daniels explained in a field which reasonably should be dominated by American influence, a foreign officer might take first rank because of the failure of the United States to provide for the grade above that of rear admiral. This subject has been discussed in connection with the situation on the Gulf of Mexico where an English naval officer, Rear Admiral Sir Christopher Cradoek outranks Rear Admiral Fletcher in a distinct zone for American leader ship.
 It has been pointed out that if fl should become necessary for one of ficer to assume supreme command in the Mexican gulf, the Englishman would be expected, in view of the spe cial responsibility of the United States, to waive his claim to prefer ence. Secretary Daniels, however, Is anxious to obviate the possibility oi so delicate situation. He will con fer as soon as possible with Senator Tillman and Representative Padgett, chairmen of the congressional naval committees.

render a well grounded opinion as to the probable length of life of the Huerta government and the condi- tions that may be expected to follow it's downfall.
 The weight of opinion in Washing ton is that today's conference will mark the development by the presi- dent of another step in the policy he has laid down in regard to the treatment of the Mexican situation, It sadmitted that just what that may be is a matter of conjecture, with the possibility that the answer may be afforded by the movements of John Lind himself within the next day or two.
 Gen. Bliss, American commander on the Mexican border, reported to Sec retary Garrison today that refugees disarmed and forced to return to Mex ico were not in danger of their lives and therefore not entitled to claim an asylum in the United States.
 Representative Reilly, Connecticut, today asked the State Department to watch the interests of Americans in Guerrero Chihuahua. Mrs. Mary Me Laughlin of Meriden, Conn, who is at Guerrero, in a letter written to a son at Meriden and forwarded here, said that conditions were bad. Ger man residents had departed, she said, and few Americans or Spaniards were left

JUDGE SUMTER SAYS THERE WILL BE NO LICENSE GRANT.
 ED FOR LIQUOR HERE.
TEN BAYS MUST ELAPSE NOW
Petitioners Are Certain They Have More Than a Sufficient Number of Names After the General Weedina Out Process Is Over.

The petitions for the issuance of liquor license ill Hot Springs passed through a general public inspection stage yesterday by the pubic, and also by Judge O. H. Sumpter, attor. ney for the prohibitionists, wno mad County Clerk Charles Davis bring the petitions from a vault of d bank to the office that he might run over them.
 q have only this to say,' said Judge Sumpter. There will not be any liquor licenses granted in Hot Springs under the showing that has been made by the petitioners. 60 not care to discuss my future plans in connection with the fight. but I do not believe the petitioners have made the proper showing, and bc- sides, other things are likely to be considered in this connections"
 The petitioners, as represented by the committee, felt security ia their position, yesterday, however, that was unshaken even by the definite announcement of so hard and deter mined a legal fighter as Judge o. II. Sumpter. They believe that there are enough names on the petitions 10 spare several hundred, and when the prohibitionists appeared with only about sixty names to be taken from the list, the committee felt there was nothing else to the campaign it had waged but for the petitions to be pre- sented to the county judge and be passed on favorably.
 The petitions can not be acted on in the county court until ten days after today. The law requires two publications, and then declares that ten days thereafter the court may pass on the petitions. That means that the petitions will be legally and properly up for consideration by County Judge Mooney
 When the ten days will expire is still an open matter, however, as ten days may be regarded as consecutive and the petitions could then be talk en up on Monday, January 12. if Sun- days were counted. The second pub lication appeared in the Sentinel Record this morning, which qualities the publication under the law.
 As in other cities, so in Hot Springs, there was much comment over the names on the petitions when they were published and discussed. in innumerable instances there were names on the petitions of men who do not drink, and who are opposed generally to liquor, but who evident ly believed that conditions would oe better under restricted legal sale than under blind tiger rule.
 Then there were also names miss ing from the petitions of men who are known to be heavy drinkers themselves, and men who previous to the closing of the saloons are known to have made their visit to the sa- looms and put away a large supply of whiskies and wines for individual purposes, all of which goes to show that in the expression of their senti- ments on this question the people altogether have not been guided by selfish interest, but have generally expressed their views regarding the whole rather than from a selfish standpoint.

took the foremost part and it was m strumental in the reorganization O others
 Geo. F. Baker is a director in more than sixty corporations, a greater number than any other one man il the country. Mir Baker, who hereto fore has adhered to a policy of si lence as rigidly as Mir. Morgan, ex pressed his views in his testimony before the congressional Pujo com mittee early last year. Speaking ol the concentration of money and cred it in the hands of a comparatively few men, he said:
 q think it has gone far enough If it got into bad hands it would be very bad"
 While Morgan and Company still are represented on the boards ol many of the country's great corpora tions, MT. Morgan's statement that I've expect from time to time to re tire from other boards" was accepted as foreshadowing the ultimate with. drawal of the Morgan partners from all the great outside enterprises with which they long have been connect ed
 Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the Puio committee, said he regretted that the announced list of withdraw als did not include the more import ant interlocking direetorates in the financial district held by the firm' such as those in the First National and the National City banks"
 "It appears also," he said, that while some of the partners resign from the board of given company, one or more remain, which would seem to indicate that this is more + the nature of a business convenience than surrender to public sentiment, and that nothing very substantial has been yet accomplished in the way of vindicating the principle for which advocates of corporate reform have been contending. But the promise held out in the interview is encour- aging. It doubtless will all come in time"
 In connection with MT. Untermyer's statement it was suggested that the reason the Morgan partners had not withdrawn from the boards of nation al banks, commonly referred to as Morgan institutions was that the matter was beingN held in abeyance pending the interpretation of the new banking and currency law.
 What was interpreted as sign of willingness on MT Bakers part to give up such connections was the recent sale by the First Security Company, controlled by First Nation al Bank interests, of large block of stock in the Chase National Bank, one of the largest financial institu- tions in New York.
 Frank A. Vanderlip head Of the National City Bank, some time ago said he hoped to retire from director ships of outside corporations as soon as possible and devote himself to the banking bushes excluively.
 Still another indication of the course of events in Wall street is the announcement today that the voting trust of the Guaranty Trust Com pany. consisting of MT Baker and Messrs, Porter and Dayison of the Morgan firm, would be dissolved Jan uary 30.
