est, efficient, progressive and incor-
ruptible government administered
in the interest of all the people.
Fight Against Reaction
To-day as in Jacksons day, the
fight is on between reaction and en-.
trenched privilege on the one hand,
and progressive democracy on the
other. The people now, as then,
demand the restoration to power of
these great Democratic forces of the
nation which imbibed the militant
and progressive spirit of the west,
and which were determined to wrest
control of the government from the
aristocracy of class, to administer it
again in the interest of all the peo-
pie on the Jeffersonian principle of
democracy: Equal opportunity for
all, special privilege for none
Progressive democracy means op-
position to the ney-McCumber
tariff bill which is taxing all the
people for the benefit of favored
manufacturers and contributors to
the Republican campaign funds. De
mocracy opposes reducing high sur
taxes on big incomes, and proposes
TO reduce taxes, to a greater extent
than the Mellon plan, on small and
moderate incomes; it opposes ex-
tortionate freight rates, not alone
on agricultural products but on all
products, and proposes reduced
freight rates, and more efficient rail
road transportation for the benefit
of all the people.
Progressive democracy opposes
graft and corruption in the govern
ment and temporizing with, or
shielding the guilty and proposes
to drive the grafters and corrup-
tionists out of government and put
the criminals and Wrong-doers into
the jails of the United States
Would Settle Rail Problem
Concerning the railroad problem;
Mr.. McAdoo said that, in the event
of his election he would not give
the railroads seven years or seven
months to make up their minds, but
would call Srecial session of con-
gress to solve the railroad prob
lem, Just as Woodrow Wilson call
ed congress in Il special session to
reform the currency problem, and
out of which came that wise and
beneficial piece of legislation. known
as the federal reserve act
Dealing directly with the fight
for Democratic presidential nomina
ton. Mr.. McAdoo said:
ut must be clear to the people
of Tennessee that the fight within
the Democratic party is d fight be-
tween the reactionary element. on
the one hand and the progressive
element on the other
The reactionary element is care
fully Disgusting it's real purposes by
striving to secure uninstructed dele
cations from every state that is
supposed to be progressively Demo
cratic and dry. but it is very care
full to secure instructed delegations
in every state where the reactionary
forces can control, and so to tie the
delegations with rockribbed and
iron bound instructions.
Let not the people of Tennessee
be deceived

voice of this sovereign state eX-

NEW YORK, May TO- - The
breach opened 80 years ago this
month between the Methodists of
the north and the south is about
to be closed. It's healing will wipe
away another trace of bitterness
over the question that led to the
War Between the States
1t was in the Green Street church
in this city. a building that has
passed away, that on May %, 1874,
determined abolitionist delegates
from New England introduced in the
general conference of the Methodist
church a resolution demanding that
Bishop James Osgood Andrew, of
Georgia, resign because he was the
owner of black boy and a black
girl.
Determined ministers and laymen
of the north and angry and deter
mined delegates from the south
one side holding slavery a moral
wrong, the other contending it was
not Sinful and therefore, out of the
province of the church-coaxed, ca
joled. were caustic and personal and
finally hurled invectives for days
trying to change each others point
of view.
Delegates of the south left the
meeting with a vow that they
would not again "co-mingle" with
their northern brethren.
Union in Sight Now
The VOW is kept, but with slavery
dead for 60 years, their successors
as the trustees of Wesleyanism, are
about to come back to the common
fold. The action of the general con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, the northern branch of the
church, in session at Springfield,
passing this week by vote of
something like 500 to 10 a measure to
reunite with the southern Meth
odists, is one of the last steps in
the reunion. The southern confer
ence, it is agreed, will ratify the
articles. With that ratification, ne
gotiations that have been in prog
ress since 1911 will be concluded
The reunion will make the church

CHICAGO, (Mondayl, May r.
Wheat developed stubborn tone
after a weak opening. There was
a rush to sell at the start because
of bearish news and in the absence
of buying power prices broke rapid
ly. Commission house absorption
of the offerings on resting orders
made it more difficult for early sell
ers to cover, offerings tightening up
in the later trading.
Liverpool weakness, and the in
crease of supplies on passage last
week, making the worlds shipments
25,000,000 bushels greater than last
year, were some of the bearish fac
tors early. Later the weather fore
cast was for probably frost for Kan
sas, Nebraska, Iowa and the north
west, and this caused some short
The result OF the French election
suggested that the people of
that country are inclined to favor
an early settlement of the repara
tons muddle. Milling demand for
wheat was quiet. Seaboard advices
told of a little Manitoba wheat being
sold 20 Sweden. Visible supply de-
creased 3,341 900 bushels last week.
Corn was weak in tone. There
was pressure to sell early on the
slow shipping demand and the in
creasing supplies on passage. Com
mission house buying on resting or
ders stayed the decline. Later the
fact that Duluth stocks increased
instead of showing a big reduction
as expected, caused further pressure.
Duluth stocks are believed to be
nearly all sold, but the harbor was
ice-locked and boats could not get
in or out last week. Shipping de-
mani was slow, but spot corn was
in demand with premiums up IA
cent. Sales Of 225,000 bushels of
corn were made to go to store. Wis
ible supply decreased 524 900 bushels
last week.
Oats followed corn.@ Visible sup
ply decreased 1,575.000 bushels. Trad.
ing was dull.
