The liquor candidates and the liquor
organs in their desperate efforts to
stem the rapidly increasing strength
of Mr.. McChesney, and to prevent, If
possible, what seems 10 be his prob
able nomination as the Democratic
candidate for Governor in the August
primary, have been industriously cir
culating the report that if he is nomi-
mated he can not be elected in No
vember. They base this statement
upon the idea that the whiskey and
beer Democrats would not vote for
him, or for any other dry Democrat,
If he is nominated. In other words,
they admit that, although the liquor
Democrats will take a very active part
in the primary against McChesney,
they will not hesitate, If he is nomi-
mated, to bolt his nomination and vote
for the Republican ticket. There is
some truth in that threat, for that is
just what they have been doing for
many years. Most of them do not
seem to be bound, by any sense of hon
or or obligation, to support the nomi-
nee after they have taken part in the
primary. Admitting to be true their
purpose to bolt il Mr.. McChesney is
nominated, and that is what this talk
amounts to when they say he could
not be elected, let us see whether or
not 1t Is to be feared.
The people OF kentucky remember
very well that in the Senatorial pri-
mary last year, the same kind of talk
and threats were used against Govern
or Beckham. Mr.. Stanley, the liquor
candidate for the Senate then, as he is
the liquor candidate for Governor now,
used the same argument; so did the
same liquor newspapers. What this
argument amounted to in effect was
that, If Beckham was nominated, the
whiskey and beer Democrats would
bolt him, while if Stanley should be
nominated he would get all of those
votes and also the votes Of the tenn
perance Democrats, who would be too
honorable and too good Democrats, to
bolt the party nominee after they had
taken part in the primary. The result
OF that primary should be fresh in the
memory Of Kentucky Democrats. With
all the power and wealth of the dis
tilleries, the breweries, and the saloons
back of him, Stanley was defeated by
a substantial majority. Beckham was
nominated and large majority of the
liquor Democrats did bolt him in the
November election. 1t is necessary
only to look at the returns from that
election to demonstrate it.
In all of the cities and liquor centers
Beckham ran considerably behind the

VIM. J. BrYan's Remarkable
Temperance Speech

Secretary of State, William J Bryan,
delivered a temperance speech to an
audience that exceeded Is, 600 in the
Billy Sunday tabernacle in Philadelphia
The meeting was under the auspices of
the National Abstainers' Association and
was held the night following the enthus-
iastic close of the Sunday meetings.
The news accounts of the meeting re-
ported that when Bryan ceased speaking
more than 10000 persons rushed for
ward To sign the joint pledges he had
distributed and it was necessary to call
the police to protect the Secretary of
State from his enthusiastic hearers.
The daily press reports gave only
slight excerpts from the speech,
which is here presented in full because
it contains the best of the arguments
for temperance collected by Bryan in a
lifetime devoted to this cause. which
is being agitated throughout the coun-
try. The speech in full follows:
1.-The meeting is held for specific pur-
pose is to deal with one of the great
evils which affilct society. Ii is not to

to the men and women of Philadelphia
to consider the greatest subject with
which men have TO deal, namely, relig-
ion, and religion has been defined as the
relation that man fixes between himself
and his God.
Nothing else is in the same class with
religion, because nothing else affects, a

Just at present st. Louis seems to

While attention has been focused on
the race among the leaders in the Ma
t1onal League, the st. Louis team has
been gradually forging to the front.
and now it has assumed a place in the
first division It has deposed Brooklyn
and Boston from third position. The
Cardinals have been forging along ever
since their Eastern invasion, when
they made the best showing of any of
the Western teams. Philadelphia and
Chicago are now tied for first position.
but their hold is not by any means
certain. In fact, any team which can
get into winning streak, such as
teams sometimes strike, where they
annex a number of victories in a row.
can easily go into the lead. On every
hand there is the prediction that this
is the year when the so-caIIed dark
horse will win, and guesses include
half of the teams in the league.
Brooklyn was looked upon in such a
light, but the showing of the Dodgers
recently has been somewhat disap-
pointing. The close race is furnishing
much food for speculation among the
fans.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET BROADENED YEST ERDAY
New Low Records Established With
London and Paris Exchanges.

New York, June 15.-In it's broader
and more substantial aspects, today's
further depreciation in foreign ex-
change, with new low records between
this center and London and Paris, out
weighed all other financial develop
ments. Demand sterling declined to
4.76 3-S against the previous low rec
ord of ATT IA, and French checks or
demand bills on Paris sold at $40 3-5,
a break of 1 "a from the previous
record.
Other continental exchange, with the
sole exception of Amsterdam, was
weak, but did not duplicate recent
record quotations, although remit
tances on Rome fell to within the
smallest fraction of their minimum.
Establishment of these records is the
more anomalous from the fact that
another consignment of S2,50O,000 gold
was received from Canada and an ad-
ditional $750,000 of the metal was &C
Quired at Toxic for immediate ship
ment to this country.
Stocks moved contrarily throughout
the session, war shares making fur
Their gains, while representative issues,
particularly the railway division, were
irregular, when not heavy. Westing-
house Electric was the leader from
start to finish, transactions in that
stock far outstripping any other issue,
with a maximum gain of four points.
Others in the same class rose from one
to four points, but lost ground in the
later dealings.
Readings heaviness, together with
other shares in the international group,
was associated with the slump in ex-
change, which was reported to have
caused a recurrence of foreign selling
of these issues. Coppers were not ex-
enpt from the pressure which became

ASKING SUBSCRIBERS
TO BAR THE PUBLIC
From Free Use of TeIephones-Com-
pany Calls on Business Men.

As has been done throughout the
state generally, the fiat rate subscrib-
ers to the Southern New England Tel.
ephone company in this city, have been
pany, who have urged the subscribers
to help the company correct the abuse
by the public of the privilege of using
telephone lines. The business places
generally in the center of the city
have been seen and the proprietors
have been asked to cooperate with the
telephone company by withdrawing the
use of their lines from the general
public and restricting it only to their
own business uses and the use of their
employees.
Quite generally the telephone people
say they have found a ready acuui-
escence on the part of the subscribers
whose obliging disposition towards the
public may quite frequently result to
the detriment of the business mans
own interests. As, for instance, on
party line, where there may be a gro
Ger, butcher and a tailor, a person
may step in from the street and ask
to use the grocer's line for a minute
or two. 1t is the experience that a
large number Ofisuch favorS asked are
for social calls, or are the so-called
"gtrl-calls," which are HableFto be ex-
tended Indefinitely. In the first case
Mrs. So and So is likely to branch
out into, a discussion of styles and all
Tic ue1SAUOEnOOO gossip, hanging up
the line for from 8 to Is minutes,
while there is often no E1imit to the
time that two girls or a young fellow
and his girl will gush over a wire.
Meanwhile two or three customers
may have wanted to get the grocer
and others may have turned in calls
for the butcher and the tailor on the
party line. So theres are 4half a dozen
lost calls pilingz up, while the borrow
er of the grocerS line occupies the
wire. The grocer may have lost sew
eral orders and all he gets lisa Thank
you" and a pleasant smile after the
'unproftab1ek borrower gets through.
While they are thus riding a free
horse to death on local calls, it not
infrequently happens that the bor-
rover of the sline slips in a toll line
call, departing without saying any
things about it, and then there is a
disputed toll Hline slip when the bill
for telephone 2comeS in.
1t is to cut sdown this abuse Of the
service by the public that the tele-
phone company;is calling upon it's fiat
rate subscribers, the movement hav-
ing been largely instigated by the bus
mess people for their own protection,
the telephone men say.
The company considers that it has
installed enough public telephones to
accommodate those who want to use
a line and it is always willing to put
in more where the service seems to
demand it.
Two new public telephones have re-

Short Hills, N. J., June 15.-Francis
Ouimet of the Woodland Golf club,
Mass, cleverly upheld his rating as
national amateur champion by divid-
round for this years open title with
James Thompson, the Philadelphia
professional, on the links of the Bait
usrol Golf club today. This pair led
the big field of aamteur and profess
sional aspirants for the honor with
scores Of 151 strokes each.
There was no f1uke in their winning
top place with their scores for both
had to fight hard for the position.
Each had rought experiences during
his two rounds Of the links and both
were sufficiently resourceful to over
come obstacles which to many other
players would have had a dishearten-
ing effect.
Playing the seventh green in the
morning round Ouimet found both
sides of the fair way rather than a
straight path, again in the afternoon,
when going to the sixteenth, he twice
bunkered, but managed to get out
with gritty and veteran-like play.
Thompson, during both rounds,
found his ball in traps and bunkers
but he made some wonderful recover
les and kept on as though he were ac-
customed to getting out of perplexing
situations.
Inc leaders showed Improvement
in their work in the afternoon, but
Ouimet's was the more pronounced, as
he was five strokes under his card
of the morning.
Three other amateurs qualified to-
day These were Oswald Kirkby of
Englewood, former Metropolitan and
New Jersey state champion; Max r.
MarSton, who won the New Jersey
state title last Saturday and Henry
J. Topping of Greenwich, Conn, who
was runner-up in the French cham
pionship last year.
Morston led the amateurs in the
morning with a 76 but while playing
the last nine holes in the afternoon
he was unfortunate in being overtaken
by a severe thunder storm which delug-
ed the course and forced several play
ers to withdraw. Marston went right
through the storm for an SO, to-
tai of 159, which was two strokes
under the last six scores on the quail
flying list.
George Low, of the local club,
George Mclean of Philadelphia and
Clarence Hackney of Atlantic City led
the other Professionals with scores of
152 each. Alex Smith, Wykagyl, New
York, and George Sargent, Chevy
Chase, Washington, D. c., two former
holders Of the open title, finished with
153 each, but Alexander Ross of Wee
Burn, Mass, just failed to qualify by
a single stroke, his total being 1862.
The best score for Is holes made dur
ing the days play was 70 turned
twice in each round, Ouimet, Mac
Donald, Sargent and Mclean being the
players who made it.
Tomorrow anothr thirty-six hole
qualifying round will be played by
the other entrants, among the best
