9Th. Every enterprise looking to
the investment of capital and employ

encouraged by the state. We pledge,
not only to citizens of this state, but
to citizens of other states, that all

equal and friendly protection of our
laws in their observance, and will be
held equally amendable to our laws
in their violation.

9Th. We raffirm our confidence
in the wisdom and justice of the suf-
frage amendment to our state con-
stitution. Under it's influence we have
had freedom from race issues, and
both races have enjoyed contentment
and prosperity. The hazard of it's
valid continuance makes it impera-

We submit that the record shows
that the Democratic party can be
trusted to conserve all that makes for
the welfare of our people. So long
as the Democratic party is in power
the forces that have made for the
great progress of the last sixteen years
will be maintained. So long as 1t
is in power, the people have assur-
ance that the state is safe from the
designs of those who would inf1ict
upon it the payment of fraudulent
bonds issued in it's name under a
Republican regime; and they cannot
have that assurance otherwise. SO
long as the Democratic party is in
power the people have assurance that
this state shall be conducted by white
men; and they cannot have that as
surance otherwise. So long as the
Democratic party is in power the as
surance Of half century of faithful
service that makes for peace, the
progress, the order and the prosperity
of this commonwealth shall be sacred
ly conserved; and they cannot have
that assurance otherwise.

DECLARES WIFE RULES
HIS BROTHERS FAMILY
John E. Roosevelt Testi6es in Court
that Robert Is Weak Char
acter," Lacking Will.

New York, March 11-JOhn Ellis Roose-
Welt. cousin of the former President,
again wspt copiously on the witness
stand today as he told OF his marital
troubles. Mr.. Roosevelt, who Is IS years
old Is seeking an annulment of his mar
riage to Edith Hamersley Roosevelt, on
the ground that the marriage was never
contaminated.
Justice Crane, in the Supreme Court of
Brooklyn. after hearing the testimony,
adjourned the case until next Saturday,
when it is expected a decision will be
rendered.
Mr.. Roosevelt took the stand. He
was asked II he had told his brother,
Robert upon his return from his wedding
trip, that he was perfectly happy and
cOntented This statement was made on
the stand by Robert Roosevelt. in the
wife's behalf.
That statement is wilfully false" said
Mr.. Roosevelt. My brother is married
to a sister OF my wife. Like my wife,
my sister-in-law is strong willed. In
fact, she is so strong-wIlled that she
dominates my brother and compeIs him
to do everything she wishes.
My brother is a weak character, and
ever since his marriage, he has practf-
caIly supported the entire HammersIey
family. Several times he has rebelIed
but It did him no good. His wife COM
PEELED him to do as she wished"

Federal ARMOR PLATE
FACTORIES ARE URGED
Law and Legislation Committee of
Chamber of Commerce Endorses
Plan-New Court Bill Argued.

The establishment OF government
armor-plate factories was urged in a
resolution adopted by the law and leg1s-
lation committee of the Chamber of Com
merce at a meeting in the rooms of the
chamber last night. The action OF the
committee will be laid before the full
chamber for action Tuesday night
The committee discussed at length the
bill pending in the House for a reorgan-
lzation of the District Juvenile Court.
and decided to take no action until the
next meeting, when Judge ]. Wilmer
Latimer and Others familiar with the
situation will be invited to attend.
The committee characterized as unrea-
sonable the provision in the House bin
which would place a fine of 500 or i'm
prisonment for six months on persons
found in contempt of the Juvenile Court.
It was pointed out that few persons able
to pay a 500 fine ever come in contact
with the Juvenile Court.
A resolution was adopted urging the
Commissioners to abolish the District

This is the first movement of troops

to Fort Sam Houston, where 1t will be
distributed to the troops which will be
sent to Mexico.
Military telephone and telegraph lines
are being erected from Fort Sam Hous-
ton toward Mexico. How far these lines
will extend could not be ascertained. It
is believed, however. that the lines will
be carried to the border so Gen. Funston
can keep in direct communication with
field operations. Every precaution is
being taken to maintain lines of commun-
ication to the front should Mexicans in
Texas interfere with the public wires.

To Preserve Peace You've Often Got To
Biff Fellow On the Nose, Says Baker

Mr.. Baker is a modest man and ex-
ceedingly frank. On the occasion of
his first call at the White House after
he was indicted into Office he was asked
about the news from Mexico.
THE newspapers are carrying more de-
tailed reports from the border than we
are getting in the War Department" he
said.
This was in striking contrast to the
pose of some officials who frequently re-
fuse to talk as a means Of masking the
fact that they really have nothing to
talk about.

was eminently successful in the admin

ago right in the middle Of the Mexican
hare-up. He admitted that he was dazed
over the war-like preparations that he
found In progress in his new Office. He
smilingly told callers that for a time
he would have to depend for guidance
on such old stagers as Gen. Hugh L.
Scott, the chief of STAFF.
Mr.. Baker was preceded to Washing
ton by reputation as a 'pacifist." He
belongs to numerous peace societies and
has opposed preparedness. He is at the
same time a fighting man, according to
his friends.
