His People After Passing "a Years
In Their Service

Washington, D. C. May 2o-(SpeciaD
Senatorial announcements and like
wise senatorial campaigns are now
frequent The first popular contest
for election of one third of the upper
legislative branch by general vote
is impending. One of the latest sena-
tors to throw his hat into the ring"
in that connection is the senior Sena-
tor of them all. He is Jacob H. Gal
linger Of New Hampshire, minority
leader for his party in the Senate and
now more years a Senator than any
other member of the body. He first
took his seat March 4, 1891, which
is 20 years II ago. He was there two
years in advance of Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts and two
years and almost five months in ad-
vance of George c. Perkins of Cali

SEN. GALLINCER'S
STATEMENT MADE
TO PEOPLE OF N. H.
Issues a Declaration of His
Policies and Principles
To Be Continued

The following statement has been
issued by United States Senator JOS
eph H. Gallinger of New Hampshire
to the people of his state:
To the People of New Hampshire
When the Republican members of
the Legislature of 1891 nominated me
in caucus as their candidate for
United States Senator l accepted the
nomination with the promise that if
elected 1 would give my best abilities
to the discharge of my duties, and
that it would be my ambition, while
holding fast to the fundamental
principles of the party to which l be-
longed, to represent the entire people
of the state without regard to political,
social religious, or other considera-
tions. That promise l have scrupu-
lousy endeavored to keep, and l shall
continue to pursue the same policy SO
long as l am in the public service.
Three successive Legislatures re-
elected me to the position / now hold,
practically without opposition from my
own party, and with the support of
some members of /. the Democratic
party. That being the case ii would
have been a matter of wonder had
not striven to represent the people of
New Hampshire faithfully and well.
My present term as Senator will ex-
pire on the 4th day of March, 1915.
and naturally the question as to
whether or not the interests of the
people of the state would be best sub
served by my continuance in office has
been proper subject of discussion.
For several months past 1 have been
constantly importuned to decide
whether or not l would ask for a re-
election. but l have preferred to leave
the matter absolutely in the hands of
the people, without, any interference
on my part, until such time as their
wishes found expression. The field
has been left open to any Republican
who desired to enter, but thus far no
one has announced his intention to be-

SPEECHES ON
CANAL TOLLS

Washington. May 20-Failure of
Democratic leaders in the Senate to
get an agreement today to vote on
the Panama tolls bill at the end of a

five speeches could not be delivered a
day and announced that beginning to-
morrow he proposed to ask every man
for unanimous consent for an agree
ment to vote.
Three speeches 1.-THE tolls question
were made during the day. All fav-
ored the repeal bill. sSenator Hollis of
New Hampshire defended the meas
ure as upholding the treaty obligations
of the United States.
Senator Kenyon Of Iowa made the
first public statement of his attitude
on the measure, announcing he would
vote for the repegl on economic
grounds.
Senator John Sharp Williams in
brief speech took occasion to rebuke
Democratic colleagues who had criti-
cised President Wilson for not follow
ing the Democratic platform.
An attempt by Senator Kern, Dem
ocratic leader, to get unanimous con-
sent for a vote May 81 on the bill. was
defeated today when Senator McCum-
Der objected. 1.-THE time has not yet
come to fix date for voting" the
Dakota senator insisted.

President Huerta in the course of an
interview today, said:
"The Mexican peace delegates have
no instructions to offer my resignation

Mr.. Mellen admitted frankly that
neither he nor any of the directors of

though, he said, he sometimes agreed
with him. He declared, however, that
Mr.. Morgan's judgment in any finan-

there had been an error of transmits

ALL IMMIGRATION
RECORDS BROKEN.

Washington, d. c., July 5.-There
was an increased immigration Of over
100000 persons into the United States
last year, according to statement
made public by Commissioner of I'm
migration Caminetti today, who said
that a total of 1.300, 900 foreigners came
to the United States to make their
homes.
Included in the list were close to
10000 Japanese. While this is not the
largest number of Japanese ever ad-
mittedi it is an increase over the prev
ious year.
approximately 270,000 Italians came
to the United States last year. Next
In numbers were the Jews, chiefly from
Russia, with over 100000, and after
them came the Polish immigrants, over
10000 strong.
The immigration, both in the NUM-
bers of persons and the number Of
races, Is a record breaker. In 1907
there were 1,285,00O immigrants re-
ceised, but last years figures go well
over that total.
Two thirds OF the newcomes were
males and one third females, Indicating
that many came here for the purpose
of establishing themselves with the in
tention Of sending for their wives and
families later

HON. }. N. CAMDEN FOR THE
SHORT TERM FOR SENATOR,

The death Of Senator Bradley made
| 1t necessary for the Governor to ap-
point his successor until about Nov
ember IS. 1914. Hon. j. N. Camden
was appointed. The law requires that
there shall be an election to fill out the
remainder OF the term from that date
until March 4. 1915. At the solicitation
OF a host of Democrats throughout the
State Mr.. Camden became the candi-
date for that time. The selection of
Mr.. Camden was SO entirely satisfac-
tory to all that II appears that all, or
nearly all. the Democrats in the State
are for him.
We Of Lawrence county want to
show that we are interested in the Sc
lection of this good and great man;
that we want to cast our vote for him
as unit, and 1t is believed that all
the Democrats supporting McCreary,
Beckham and Stanley will vote for
him. 1t Is not generally known that
there Is to be an election for this short
portion OF a term, but 1t is true. A
vote for Camden does not In the least
interfere with voting for McCreary,
Beckham or Stanley.
Let every Democrat in Lawrence
county vote for Camden. Let Kentucky
redeem herself by electing one Of the
best men In her borders to serve at
least O. short time and represent her as
she deserves to be reprented in the
United States Senate. A VOTER.
