A call was made on Gen. Joseph
B. Seth, former President of the
State Senate. While the Democrats
on the Shore look on with interest at
the Nice reception, they express lit
tie fear. The party leaders feel that
they are in better shape than for
years.
Here in Dorchester, for instance,
they are taking unusual measures to
assure harmony The Democrats will
hold an unofficial primary Saturday
at which delegates will be selected
from each district for an old-time
county convention to name the par
tvs candidates for all local offices.
OF course, any aspirant not satisfied
with the decisions of the convention
is still free to enter the open primary
lists, but the Democratic leaders feel
that the convention. will work won
ders here.
The party now has an affiliated ma
jority of between 400 and 500 In
Dorchester. However, the heavy ne
gro vote in this county, numbering
anywhere from 1900 to $500, al
most always solidly Republican and
always brought heavily to the polls
by the Republican workers, about
evens the balance Of power so far as
the registration is concerned.

Tomorrow S Primaries

The unofficial Democratic primar-
les to be held tomorrow aftcrDoo at
the polling places in the various dis
tricts of the county. affords an op-
portunity. for Democrats n every
district to get together and talk over
the conditions existing in their dis
tricts, and, in this manner it is be-
lieyed that harmonious understand
ing can be reached. The selection of
eight delegates from each district is
the means by which every element in
the party in the district may be rec
ognized and no one element should
attempt to name all of the delegates;
in fact, such an attempt would be
in direct opposition to the plan and
purpose of the unofficial primary,
which is called TO enable all those in
terested in party success in every dis
trict, and every Democrat should be,
to take an inventory of conditions in
the district to the end that differen-
ces may be adjusted, strong men Sc
cured for the ticket, and the full
strength of the party enlisted in the
nomination and election CT the tic
ket.
1t is to be hoped that every Demo
crat in the county will attend these
primaries; it will not require great
deal of time, and the party has real
ly the right to expect that it's mem
bers, at this time, when our great
President is being assailed in the
most partisan and most unscTupulous
manner, will lend the weight of their
presence, their careful thought and
judgment in order to uphold the
splendid work he has done and to
make certain the carrying out of
Democratic policies in the county
State and Nation. The work to be
done is not one mans, it is that of
every man identified with the party,
and no man should expect someone
else to assume his part of the work
or his part of the responsibility.

COAL: BUSINESS
IS PICKING Up
WARREN CLARK, OF THE UNITED
STATES COAL COMPANY, PRE-
Diets PRICE ADVANCE.
Does Not Look For Any Material Reduc-
ton In Wages to the Miners
Very Soon.

Predicting that the coal business nf
tho country will pick up and also that
an Improvement is already in sight,War-
rcn Clark, Of the United States Coal
Company, stated 10 an ntelltgencer re-
porter last evening that the boom was
actually on now. He gave the following
/ reasons for believing that this Is true.
First. the foreign nations must have
coal and must have lot Of IT and also
have it soon. He estimated that so MIL
lions of bushels will be purchased by the
foreign nations within the coming year
This will give employment 10 many men
! he said.
Second. the coal piles at the various
industrial plants Of this country are
gradually being consumed with the re-
suit that the stocks Will need to be re-
placed, and that will take much more
coal.
! Third. the opening up Of the lake trade
will take additional thousands of BUSH
els, while every vessel being built. for
! both lake and sea trade will also con-
sumo more coal. The great fleets Of the
nations are also being added to, to say
nothing of the transport ships and here
again he said we will be compelled to
furnish much coal in order to meet the
! demands.
