How strong are the vote swappers?
Are they strong enough 10 override

The result of Mondays primaries Will
supply the answer.
The Detroit times., 1916-04-01

We know there is majority senti-
ment in the Democratic party that the
party has had enough Of Woods leader
ship.
We know that a majority sentiment
in the party is resentful of the manner
in which the rights of the rank and file
have been usurped crushed down and
trampIed upon by Wood, as ringleader
of the partys false leaders
We know that Democrats of principle
have waited for time when they
could get even with Wood for his part
In denying them an expression in their
state convention four years ago that they
favored Woodrow Wilson Tor nomination
for president.
We know that the progressive Demo
eiat, IN Michigan have not forgotten the
marn9 in which Wood, as the ringleader
Of false leaders, defed them and voted
the Michigan delegation against Wilson
all during that long deadlock, and sur
rendered il only when it was evident that
il was useless to hold out longer
We know that there are Democrats
who resented the activities Of the vote
swappcrs two years ago in selling out the
party to the hduor interests Of Michigan
We know there are Democrats who re-
sent the way the party, under Woods
leadership. has been turned over TO the
brewers and distillers. and who resent the

A Last Appeal to Decent
Democrats in Michigan to
Get Out Monday and Vote!

Just how powerful are the vote-swap-

committeeman for the Democratic party
in Michigan will supply the answer.

The Detroit times., 1916-04-01

The vote-swappers are busy.
They were never buster
They are trying to put over Edwin Q.
Wood
It has already been acknowledged by
one member of the Democratic organ
ization that Woods election within his
party is impossible.
This organization member is on record
as having made this statement. to De
troit Republican whose word is beyond
question:
eve should worry how the Democrats
vote. We will overcome Democratic
votes for Comstock with REPUBLI-
CAN votes for Wood.
Here is the idea:
Charles B. Warren. at present Repub-
lican national committeeman for Michi-
gan, is unopposed for reelection.
The vote on presidential preference,
as between William Alden Smith and
Henry Ford, will amount to a senti-
mental, favorite son expression, merely.
There being no good occasion for Re-
publicans affiliated with the vote-swap-
ping arrangement to vote in their own
primaries, they are to be used where
their votes will count-to cheat the
Democratic party of true expression
and to prevent the party from register
ing its choice as between Wood and
Comstock.
The only way to cope with such tactics
will be for EVERY DECENT DEMO
! Graf TO GET TO THE PRIMARIES
ON MONDAY AND VOTE FOR COM
STOCK
There are more decent Democrats in
Michigan than there are vote-swappers
but the fact will avail naught against
the vote-swappers unless these decent
Democrats GET OUT AND DECLARE

such writer's: that is, he takes for
granted that Japan is bent on having
war with this country, and that she
is planning with reference to insur-
ing an easy victory and vast profit
from it.
It is curious how people can get
their wires crossed when they set
about to indulge their imaginstions.
The same newspaper which carried
this story Of Japan's plot to seize
Americas gold and use it to fight
America, told on another page about
the huge gold deposit that japan is
piling up in American banks. The
Mikado's government has about $751;
100000 of government gold on de-
posit in New York alone. Other
millions are held in this country, for
Japan is nowadays frankly making
the United States it's banker to an
unprecedented extent, paying obliga-
tions to the rest Of the world with
checks against its holdings here. 1t
would take years to dig out Of
Alaska, under the most favorable
conditions, as much of the yellow
stuff as Japan now has right here!
Just why japan should pile up
gold in our vaults, while at the same
time plotting to seize Alaska in or
der to dig other gold from our Arc
tic north, is a bit beyond comprehen-
sion. But if the story pleases the
Japanophobes, doubtless it will get
acceptance without bothering about
explanations.

STONE CANNON BALLS
ONCE WON BATTLES
Turks Carried On Effective Warfare
With Wrought Iron Guns
Screwed Together.

In these DAYS of huge projectiles
turned to ht exactly into cannon that
are as near mechanically perfect as
modern engineering can make them, 1t
is almost impossible to believe that Mt
one time the Turks carried on effective
warfare with wrought iron cannon
screwed together and firing stone can
non balls.
Two of these cannon balls. according
to the New York Sun. have been pre-
sented to the museum OF Hobart Coll
lege. at Geneva. n. y.
They were used by the Turks in their
war against the kingdom OF Cyprus.
one of the numerous Christion states
which grew out OF the crusades The
stronghold os the enemy was the city
OF Famagusta, In 1871 the Turks under
took tc reduce its walls. For nearly a
year they hurled stone cannon balls
against them. Tho stones varied in
weight from a few pounds TO several
hundred. In order to onserve the force
of the explosion the balls were made to
fit the bore of the cannon as nearly as
possible, and they were fired with great
dclib.ration.
This method. though crude. was at
that time regarded AS the height Of re-
finally surrendered. because its food
supply was cut off. II was found that
the stone proiectiles had done great
damage to the walls and spread terror
among the defenders. At the siego Of
Constantinople. In 145S, stone shot were
also used by the TURKS effectively. As
late as 1901. when the Turks defended
ConstaLtinople aga inst the. British,
these guns were used effectively, az the
records of the British war office show.
