Justice Maurice Turned Evangelist.

Editor Nirrinian:
Str.--Although a stauuch Presbyter-
ian. Justice Maurice, of Police Court
for the Southside, has recently been
doing yoeman service for the benefit
Of the Seventh Day Adventists' de-
nomination
Last Tuesday n number of stalwart
citizens hit the trail In response to
his invitation and lined up at tho
mourners' bench and solemnly con-
fessed their faith in the doctrines and
practices of the Seventh Day Adven-
lists. The chief doctrine to which they
adhered with such solemnity and
unanimity, with Seventh Dayism-that
is TO say that saturday. or the seventh
day. Is the sabbath. a professed belief
which entitled them to follow their
usual pursuits on the Christian Sab
bath.
They were the conductors and con
cessionarics AT the amusement park at
Forest hin Their conversion to the
faith Of Seventh Dayism was quite
sudden. owing to the urgency of the
appeal Of the new evangelist. The

plea at that time was not Seventh Day

The cases developed rapidly. so by Fri

touted trip has proved a vote-getter.
Rather has it, we think, exposed the
fatal weakness OF his campaign-the
fact that he is relying on secondary
issue, the Mexican situation, for his
support.
AS a matter of fact, If Mr.. Wilson
succeeds in carrying the Mexican ne
gotiations through in a manner CAL
culated to aid the constituted authori-
ties OF that country TO restore order
and to bring about It's general peace
and prosperity, it will he a far more

President Wilson Expects to Get
Many Bull Moose Vote
This Fall,

WASHINGTON. June 21.-Presi-
dent Wilson will get thirty per cent
OF the progressive votes at the next
election. democratic leaders today
claimed
Following conferences at the white
house today between President VIII
son and democratic leaders, 1t was
said that within the next week, some
of the foremost bull moosers Of the
country are going to declare them
selves, not for the democratic party,
but for President Wilson on his well
fare and Americanism planks.
In naming his campaign committee,
the president is paying most atten-
ton to the progressive element in his
own party and these are expected to
further duplicate the plan to capture
progressive votes.
It seems likely Henry Morgenthau,
former ambassador to Turkey, will be
chairman OF the campaign committee.
Among callers at the white house
were Norman Hapgood, chairman of
the Wilson Independent league and
Homer 8. Cummings, vice chairman OF
