We Condemn

First. We condemn the present
state administration for its extrava-
gance in the expenditure of public
funds for the creation and needless Of
ficers; for its utter lack of business
and financial capacity, which has pro-
duced increased assessment and taxa
ton, increased expenditure and an
ever growing state debt; for its broken
promises, violated pledges, political
corruption and more than wasted OPP
portunities.
Second.-We denounce the ludicrous
common school text book law and its
operation by the present State Text
Book Commission, under the direct
control of its acting chairman, A. o.
Stanley, and we demand the immediate
resignation of the members of this
commission and the appointment of
qualified and independent commission
to protect the best interests of the
school children of the state We call
specific attention to the wilful VIOLA
ton Of the platform pledge of the De-
mocratic party in this respect.
Third.-We condemn the present
state administration for the unneces4
sary employment of special and favor
ed attorneys and the payment to them
Of exhorbitant attorneys fees for legal
services, which could and should have
been performed by the states attorney
general and his assistants, and we de-
nounce the compromise of state claims
made by such favored attorneys and
political henchman, resulting in great
and needless loss to the state.
Fourth.-In the name of law and
order we denounce the unjustifiable
indefensible and abysmal pardon rec
ord OF A. o. Stanley, and we call upon
all good citizens, who believe in the
supremacy Of law to repudiate it at the
polls.
Fifth.-we call specific attention to
the violation Of the solemn pledge con-

In the great war not yet concluded in

ious comparison with other parties,
the Republican party claims a full
measure of the honor Of prosecuting
the war and a full share of credit for

Pursuing the same course that the
Republican party has always pursued

Phoenix, Ariz,, March 19.-At 3
O'Clock this afternoon the jury retired
to consider the evidence in the trial
of Mrs May Glenn, accused of the
murder of her husband, Robert Glenn,
at a party in their home last Christ
mas night.
The feature of the closing hours of
the trial before the matter was left
to the jurymen was the pantomimic
reproduction of the defense's version
of the tragedy which marked the
climax of the Christmas revelry.
Attorney f, c. Struckmeyer, arrayed
in the blood-stained coat worn by
Glenn the night the bullet ended his
life, armed a juryman with the re-
volyer identified as that which sped
the bullet, and reproduced for the
men in the box his understanding of
the affair. During the rehearsal Mrs,
Glenn buried her face in her hand
kerchief and wept
County Attorney Laney declared in
his argument that no evidence had
been introduced to warrant a plea of
self defense. He added that some
time had elapsed between Glenn S
striking his wife and the firing of
the shot This, he asserted, indi-
Gated premeditation.
In his instructions to the Jury
Judge Stanford impressed on them
the fact that evidence that the de-
ceased was of a quarrelsome and vio-
lent disposition toward the defendant
is, of itself, no justification"
Later the judge added "If after
she has secured herself from danger
she takes the life of her assailant in
a spirit of revenge or for some un-
lawful purpose, she cannot claim ex-
emption from punishment on the
ground Of self defense
"1f you believe from the evidence
beyond a reasonable doubt that i'm
mediately after the defendant had
been assaulted by Robert Glenn she
withdrew out of his reach, and that
he stopped trying to assault her fur
ther, and that then she formed the
intention of going into the bedroom
mentioned in the evidence and get
ting a pistol and shooting Robert
Glenn with it, and that pursuant to
such intention she did get such pis-
toll and shoot and kill him with it,
then there is no self defense in the
case and YOU should find the defend
ant guilty"

Senator Pomerene also urged early

been reports of such occurrences in

established the truth of some of these

have adopted the course of support

shown proper spirit of cooperation
and has displayed a tendency to pro-

Do NOT EXPECT
BANKS TO TAKE
NEXT WAR LOAN

ESPECIAL coaeGsposoEncG TO MORNING JOURNAL
Dallas, Tex, March 19.-The gov
ernment wishes a wide distribution of
the Victory Loan Bonds. according to
a statement issued from campaign
headquarters here today. The state
ment says:
A telegraphic dispatch from Wash
ington received in Dallas today by the
war loan organization says: You are
authorized to say that the secretary
of the treasury wants to emphasize in
the strongest possible manner that it
is imperative that the bonds or notes
issued in the Victory Liberty Loan
campaign should be distributed as
widely as possible amongst the great
est possible number of people" This
makes clear beyond doubt the atti-
tude of the government on this i'm
portant matter and It, sets at rest the
rumor that the banks are expected to
absorb the offering.
"The plain facts about the Liberty
Loan are as follows: For months past
the government has been borrowing
from the banks to pay our war debts
and the time has now arrived when
that money must be paid back The
government ran up a huge bill to buy
the equipment and ammunition which
scared Germany stiff and ended the
war. thus saving the lives of thou
sands of American boys who would
otherwise be fighting and dying in
the trenches today. The public is be-
ing asked to lend its money to the
government to pay for American
boys lives. This is not job for the
banks but for every American that is
worthy of the name"
