manufacture of ordinance and powder
for the government.
10) An eight-hour provision as to
the mining OF all coal to be used by
the navy.
(1D The children's bureau law to
promote the welfare of children and
to devise means preventive of the ne
cessities of parents retarding develop
ment of the child.
Q2) The industrial commission law
to investigate the entire subject of
industrial relations.
Q3) The phosphorus match law to
protect the health of workers in the
match industry.
G4) The Clayton antitrust act, en-
bracing the regulation of the issuance
of injunctions.
15) The Department Of Labor law,
creating department with secre-
tary, who shall be a member of the
Presidents cabinet.
(16) The Smith-Lever agricultural
education law, which responds to the
Progressive demand that measures be
taken to lift the last load of litter
acy from American youth" by "en-
couraging agricultural education and
domestic schools"
QO The corrupt elections prac-
tices act.
(1S) Measures abolishing the Com
merce Court and authorizing the Inter-
state Commerce Commission to make
a physical valuation of railroads.
19) The Sherwood pension bill,
which must meet the Progressive idea
of wise and just policy of pension
ing American soldiers and sailors and
their widows and children"
(20) The parcels post law.
This is impressive. Standing on
such a record of accomplishment as
this, the Democrats are entitled to
feel confident. The attack upon their
position must be made from another
angle. The indications are that it is
on the executive acts and policies of
the administration that the heavy guns
of the Republicans will be brought
| to bear. But that is another story.

ORGANIZE WILSON LEAGUE
EDGAR E. SNYDER SPEAKS
Former State Chairman of the Progressive Party
Assists in Forming Aberdeen Woodrow Wilson
LEAGUE Tuesday Night.

ests had brought to shameful end
a party that had been organized fifty
years before by men in whose hearts
burned the fire Of lofty endeavor. II
he was right then and II the Progress
sives were right in leaving the Re-
publican party then, they can not be
expected to go back now without a
clear showing that that old party so
shamefully demoralized has prOfited
by the chastening and has been puri-
fled and has had rekindled with
in it that fire of lofty endeavor.'
"For Progressives to go back with
out that showing would be self-stuti-
fication. It would be an admission
that they had never been sincere in
their progressive professions.
What are the facts?
1.-THE control Of the invisible gov
ernment over the machine Of the Re.
publican party has never been relax
ed, but has been strengthened and
confirmed. Wherever the Republican
party has been dominant during the
last four years it's record of public
acts has been one of retrogression
and not of progress. No better eX-
ample of this need be sought than
the showing of our own Republican
majority in the last legislature OF this
state. The flagrantIy reactionary leg
isIation then passed would be throt-
ting our liberty as Individual voters
and our home rule powers as self
respecting and governing communities
if we had not fortunately possessed
the power of compelling these vicious
measures to be submitted to a vote
of the people.
"On the other hand, President Will
son has given us a progressive lead
ership and has done much during the
last three years to make effective the
essential demands Of the Progressive

ln.a presidential campaign the party
in power has the advantage of posi-
tion-if it has a good record. 1t can
point with PRIDE" while the opposi-
tion can only view with alarm; and
when the record is substantial one,
a task.
The record of an administration has
two sides, the executive and the legis-
lative. In the present campaign the
Democratic record of legislative
achievement is a notable one. Chair
man Mccormick, of the Democratic
National Committee, has just issued
a summary of it, intended for Progress
sive consumption. 1t contains a score
of items:
% The rural credits act, which
permits the farmer the same access
to credit facilities that is enjoyed by
the other elements of our citizenship.
(2) The income tax law.
(3) The federal reserve act, which
measures up to the Progressive re-
quirement for "the issue of currency
as governmental function under a
system whose control should be lodged
with the government and should be
protected from domination or manipu-
lation, by Wall Street or by any spe-
cial interest"
(4) The good roads law, which ex-
tends federal aid to road building.
60 The trade commission law,
which fully satisfied the Progressive
demand for a strong federal admin
istrative commission of high standing
that shall maintain permanent, active
supervision over industrial corpora
tions engaged in interstate commerce."
CO. An eight-hour law applying to
work done for the government as well
as work done by the government.
co An eight-hour law applying to
female employees in the District OF
Columbia, over which Congress has
jurisdiction.
(S) An eight-hour provision for
post office clerks and carriers.

Owing to a dark front, the Wilson
League meeting at the Bijou Tuesday
was not as we'll attended as it would
have been otherwise. Manager Rip
ley was out of the city, and nobody
about the theater knew how to light
up the lobby and front. At $3.50
o'clock the door of the operating room
was forced and the switch started, but
by that time. several hundred people
had passed thinking the house was
closed.
About 100 men and women were
present when the meeting was call
ed to order, and the speaker, Hon.
Edgar c. Snyder, former State Chair
man Of the Progressive party, intro
duced by the chairman, ]. J. Car
ney. Mr.. Snyder spoke for more than
an hour to an audience that was ap-
preciative, as was evidenced by the
frequent applause. AS each person
entered the hall, he or she received
a card expressing a desire to become
member of the Woodrow Wilson
League, and SO of the cards were
signed and delivered to the commit
tee at the close of the gathering. A
meeting of the League will be held
next week to complete the organiza-
ton, elect officers and outline the
work of the campaign.
The address of Mr.. Snyder, on why
! Am Supporting Wilson," was well
delivered and we'll received, and, in
part, follows:
81 am supporting President Wilson
and feel that all Progressives should
support him because of the very fact
that we are progressives and have
definitely espoused certain principles.
1t was upon these principles that the
majority Of the members of the Pro-
gressive party found it necessary to
leave the Republican party.

that the bosses and the special inter-

Harry Davis in q Hastings-st. saloon.
Tuesday night. He was not arrested.
The force Of detectives left police
: headquarters about e;30 o'clock. In
pairs. In order not to attract atten-
:ion. The oficers met on an east
side corner and were divided into
two squads OF abopt 10 men each.
One squad. headed by Lieut.. Reid,
surrounded the International hotel.
No. 332 Hastings-st.. while two or
the ofhcers went inside and ordered
the inmates to dress and prepare TO

In the meantime, Commissioner
Gillespie's squad raided the Mer.

the police say. are New York. Brook.
lyn and Chicago gunner. and two
women were taken. One OF the won
en- was Marie Schoening. 20 years
old, who escaped several weeks ago
from the House OF Correction.
The raid was the most elaborately
planned and executed affair since

underworld two years ago.
Jacob Silver and his wife who.
according to local officers. are well

were taken In the raid. Mrs. Silver.
Lieut.. Reid declares, Is an English
woman who has outwitted European

The raid followed a number OF
complaints which have been receiv-
ed lately by the free lance squad
that a swarm" OF gunmen and pick

"They have been driving the un-
desirables out of all the big cities In

from the western coast. OF late |
have noticed an exceedingly large
number OF women Of the streets who
have settled In Detroit. coming from
distant cities. These women always
bring men with them.
Not one OF the persons arrested
in the raid gave Detroit N his home.
The officers also found burglar
tools and other evidence that many
Of the prisoners are in Detroit for
no good purpose.
While most Of the men are charg.
ed with being disorderly persons.
