WHIT MARTIN SUPPORTS
DEMOCRAT.

Contrary to the predictions
and desires of the Progressives
and Republicans in this District
Hon. Whit p. Martin on Monday
when the selection of a Speaker
of the House of Representatives
was chosen at Washington, threw
his vote in with the Democrats
and Champ Clark was reelected
over his Republican opponent,
James r. Mann. by a majority of
twelve votes. In this City wag-
ers were placed by some of Mr..
Martin strongest supporters
that he would never deviate from
his position as an opponent to ev-
erything that smacked Democ-
racy. Tn this his friends were
mistaken.
His unloyalty to the Progress
sives and Republicans after they
twice gave him their loyal sup
port that sent him to the Halls Of
Congress on two occasions. will,
we feel sure, insure his defeat
two years from now when he will
try and get back to the pay
trough of Uncle SAM Now that
he is virtually in disrepute with
the Republican Party, the Pro
gressive Party and the Democra-
tic PARTY, there is nothing left for
him TO do but to Join the Socialists
when his term expires in the next
two years. First Of all his vote
was not needed in the councils of
the Democratic Party in tho for
nation of the House of Repre-
sentatives and there Mas no valid
excuse for his deSertion of the
Progressive Republican Party that
bod twice honored him with their

warfare which could be framed
by the civilized world up to thar
time.
+ If this is war upon all man
kind, is it not peculiar that the
| United States is the only nation
of all neutrals which regards il
necessary TO declare war upon
Germany? All have refused to
join in a combination against
Germany. Some may have a
clearer view than we. This sus-
plcion of desire for war profits
does not attach to them. "
Senator La Toilette said the
United States has not the conf

publics because of it's war poll

of a war on the German govern
ment and not on the German peo-

tinued, "or are about to be, ac-
cording to the President s speech,
with the hereditary enemies of
the German people. Words are
not strong enough to protest
against a combination with the
Entente Allies which would have
us indOrse the violations of inter
national law by Great Britain
and her purpose to wreck ven
geance on the German people"
Reverting to the Presidents
assertion that the German people
were thrown into war without
an opportunity to say anything
about it, the senator asked
Will the supporters Of this war
bill have a vote on it before it
goes into effect? Unless they do
that. it i'll becomes us to speak
of Germany. Submit this ques-
ton to the people. By vote of
ten to one they would register
their declaration against war"
The German people, he de-
clared, have been more solidly be-
hind their government than the
people of the United States will |
be behind the President in wag-
ing war on Germany.
"The espionage bill and the
bill that have been drawn
by the war machine in this coun
try" he said, care complete
proof that those responsible know /
that it has not popular support.
The armies necessary to be
raised to aid the Entente allies

LOUISIANA CADETS.


To the Graduates and Former
Students of Louisiana State
University:
The President has asked Con
gress to declare that a state of
war exists between this country
and the imperial German govern
ment, and has requested an addi-
tional of 100000 men to our pres
ent armed force. 1t is probable
that a call for a half a million
volunteers will be issued in few
days.
No doubt the graduates and
former students of the louisa ~
State University will be among
the first to respond to this call;
and, in order that they may enter
the army under the most favor
able conditions. it has been
deemed advisable to organize
regiment consisting of graduates
and former students of this uni
yersity, and to be known as the
Louisiana Cadets.
1t is proposed to ask the War
Department to detail trained and
experienced army officers to serve
as colonel and as lieutenant col
onel Of this regiment. and that
the other officers shall he gradu-
ates or former students of the
university, many Of whom have
served in the National Guard or
have seen active service in the
war against Spain. 1t is believed
that regiment thus commanded
and officored by former students
of the university will be able to
serve the country i'll this crisis |
under circumstances that will |
conduce to the efficiency Of the
men as soldiers, and will, at the ,
same time mitigate to some ex-
tent the necessary hardships of a
campaign. These sol
diers will be Differed by men
whom they have already learned
to respect and obey, and they
will stand shoulder to shoulder
with men with whom they have
been on intimate terms of friend
ship during their military train
ng at the university.
In 1898, at the outbreak Of the
Spanish American war, / issued
'all for a regiment of volunteers,
o be known as the Louisiana Ca .
lets. More then 1000 men vol
to enlist in that regi-
nent. As many hundreds of stu
Tents have attended the univers-
tv since that time, there should ID
'e no difficulty whatever now in q.
aising a regiment consisting of
louisiana State University men
nd their friends.
Believing that the Louisiana !
tate University, as a great mil =
tary school, supported by the
tate as well as the National gov !
should stand ready at
II times to exert every effort and
0 make every sacrifice to advance ]
he interest and to promote the \
relfare of the country, | earnest I

Eventually it was d.cided that the con
stitution forbade such balloting, except
by unanimous consent, but after the
vote for officers had been cast by Sc
cret ballot the convention adopted
resolution authorizing a constitutional
amendment to permit voting by open
roll call.
State war issues were not the only
ones that cropped up. An echo Of the
national fight between Samuel Gompers
backed by the American Federation Of
Labor. and the Peoples Council, repre-
senting the pacifst and according 70
its opponents-the prO-German element
in labor. reverberated in presentation
of charges against James J. Bagley, OF
Franklin Union No. %, Of the Assist
ant Pressmen and Feeders of New York.
II was stated that Bagley was mem
Der Of the Peoples Council and that
he had said that Samuel Gompers was
too old for his job, had become childish
and should be retired on pension.

course of the debate on the question

U. S. May Build River Fleet
Use of Inland Waterways for
War Shipments Planned

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-Use Of in
land waterways for war transportation
was discussed to-day at conference
among Secretary Redfeld, Daniel Will
lard. of the Council of National De-
fence; Chairman Hurley of the Ship
ping Board and Major General Black,
chief of Army Engineers. Feasibility
Of the government constructing a fleet
of barges for the Mississippi River and
other large streams was taken under
consideration.
Recent experiments conducted by the
Department of Commerce have led Sec
retary Redfeld to believe that the in
land waterways can be utilized TO tre-
mendous advantage in easing the strain
on the railroads.

AT THE AMBASSADEURS

PARIS, August 80.
When you enter the lobby a man
with mustaches flashes on you a map
of the auditorium. You select the
three seats you want, and he gives you
three other ones. Your tickets are of
a nice, handy shape and size, like
newspaper. A lady usher leads you to
your seats and expects to be tipped
for it, Fortunately, l knew nothing
of her expectations and saved franc
Saving a franc is going some in
Paris.
The show was la Grande Revue
dcs Ambassadors, in two acts ct
twenty-nine tableaux. The French
have a generous way of numbering the
tableaux Of scenes. Whenever new
character appears on the stage they
call 1t another scene.
The programme, which costs money,
said the music was arranged by VI.
Cayrou, but to me it sounded just the
same as when Irving Berlin, Jerome
Kern and Egbert Van Alstyne first
turned it out. The dances were both
English and French, and were planned,
II is said, by Stilson. The dancers.
both male and female, danced as If
they had stayed in Stilson's n bit too
long.
The premier of the tableaux brought
on an octatte of girls with fish-poles
and in fishing costumes consisting
of red tights. A French fishing trip
might be interesting even if you did
not have nibble.
The second tableau introduced a
lady playing the part Of a male news
paper reporter. She was dressed in
immaculate white fanncls and carried
a notebook and pencil, Il most real
istic makeup. Also there was a dancer
named Mile. Walser. who tried 70 do
graceful things to one. She was evil

tion's opposition to the Brown bills
emitted so few sparks, and the absence
of certain delegates from the caucus
on Wednesday night foreshadowed the
fight that developed to-day when an
opposition slate was introduced.
1t was strictly war issue that d.
vided the convention when the name
Of James F. Murray, of Schenectady,
was introduced as that OF the radicals
candidate against the Administrators
nominee, James P. Holland, Of New
York. Mr.. Murray was recognized as
q proponent not only Of much more
vigorous opposition to the Brown bills,
but as a firm believer in the right Of
labor to strike, regardless Of national
crises
Election by Open Roll Call
With the fight in prospect motion
to vote upon the names by open roll
call preclpitated the conflict before the
actual ballotIhg began. John O'Han-
lon, vice president, smashed two gavels
in an effort TO make himself heard above
the confusion that instantly arose.
