"When Johnny comes marching home" a week from thin morning things will look a bit differ at in the gray of the dawn. The 1iur -Is which Indiana troops are winning in the Kentucky maneuvers will giva a boom to the military spirit in this State. Mr. Folk continues the good work of convicting boo Hers in St. Louis, but the doors of the Mit jouri penitentiary have not yet opened to a single boodler. The reason? A solidly Democratic Supreme Court in Missouri. It has b--en a long time since a British premier nad as much trouble in forming a Ministry as Mr. Balfour has had. and the one he has finally patched together is weak and incongruous. It is a makeshift Cabinet and canno last long. The Incident of Monday, when a supposed madman made such a iesperate effort to rea.cn the President, Is ample justification for all the precaution? that have been takers to guard the person of the chief executive. It develops that he was an Anarchist in Minneapolis, and was armed. The Citiens' League reports regarding Mr. Hits that he has no chance of success and therefore advises voters to support Mr. Holtznaan. There ts no more chance of the election of Mr. Watson, candidate for police judKO on the Prohibition ticket, than there is for that of Mr. Hits, yet the league Indorses Mr. "Watson as against both the Republican and the Democratic candidates. Why this discrimination? The contention made la behalf of Lynchehaun, the Irish refugee, that his offense was a political one and therefore not within the extradition treaty, Is ingenious, but farfetched. In International parlance political offenses mean plots or conspiracies against the government, participation in a revolution, or something of that kind. It requires a great stretch of construction to make re sisting the payment of rent or fighting a landlord a political offense. Mr. Logsdon scored a rather strong point whan be declared that no member or rep räsentativ of the Citizens' League execu a tire committee had made any effort V look up Holtsman's record In the dockets of the Criminal Court. If this be true and it looks very much like it. since the committee, in It report, made no allusion to the facts in this record then this committee is seeking not to publish facts gained from an unbiased and unprejudiced Investigation as it pretends, out ratner to put rortn a partisan argument. The re;ort of the Citizens League coneludes t Ith "Instructions as to preparation of t allot," in which it s said: Do not make any marks in any of the circles at the top of the ballot. Beginn ng with mayor, and going down tne list, tlnd the names of the men you wish to vote or and mark an X In the square st the left of each name. Put no other marks on the ballot, bat fold it and hand it to the it spector. This b struction is J'or "scratchers" and applies nly to voting a mixed ticket. Fersons wh ) wish to oto the straight Repub lican ticket should place the X within tho circle a th the eagle device at the top of tho ticket and make no mark anywhere else. The statement issued by the Morse Iron Works und Dry Dock Company, of Brooklyn, gtv ng its reasons for qidtting busi ness, is a very severe arraignment of labor union n ethods. The company has one of the finest ship repairing plants oi. the At lantic C'iast ami has been employing over 2,J0i) men with a weekly pay roll of $23.U0u. Tne statement says that for a year past the con) pan y has suffered from "one con tinuous succession of strikes," based on arbitrary demands, until it could stand it no longer and has siut down. "Had the mi )n rdanned to ruin our concern," says statement, "thy could not have ted more system ttically." It may 1. fll while before all of the 2,200 men nave been receiving $23,000 a week in M will succeed in finding better jobs. le fact that a grand jury has returned Indictment against Hon. James N. Tyner. former assistant attorney general for th- INistonV-f I Apartment. Is so far pretuir ptive evident of his guilt, but it is not cor .elusive. Cent ral Tyner has an unsullied record of many years' public service, and those who Know him will not believe tliat ho baa bten willfully or know-

ingly dishonest without proof of the fact. He is very old. and during the time when the dishonest transactions an said to have occurred he was unfit to attend to business and hardly responsible. It is quite posslblo that he was used as a tool by others, including rascally relatives in whom he had confidence, in carrying out a conspiracy to defraud the government, but his friends will not believe, without proof, that he was knowingly a party to the fraud. A CAVAW1 OF SLANDER. In former years, before the adoption of

the city charter and In the old days of councilmanic government, city elections here were conducted on the "knoek-down-and-drag-out" principle. Municipal campaigns were largely campaigns of slander, and the party that could put and keep in circulation the greatest number of lies expected to win. If they hurt the city that was the city's misfortune, but this was not taken into account. That was before the days of newspaper caricature, which has now become a most effective means of misrepresentation and libel, but even without that the press managed to sling a great deal of dirt. When the citycharter was adopted and the city election was placed In an off year, it was thought there would be an end of mud-slinging campaigns. So in a large degree there has been until the present campaign. It is doubtful if in the history of the city, in the worst days of the old regime, there was ever a campaign in which the city's reputation and credit were so recklessly sacrificed to party ends and in which truth, decency and fair play were so braxenly subordinated to personal and party success as has been done In the present one. It is pre-eminently a campaign of slander, in which exaggeration, misrepresentation, falsehood and caricature have been used indiscriminately to injure the reputation of candidates, regardless of that of the city's. In no previous twenty years of its history have there been as many false, defamatory, libelous and injurious things said about the city and emphasized by defamatory and libelous cartoons as during the present campaign. The people should be glad that it is soon to end. They should be glad that the flood of calumny, vituperation and abuse which is soiling the reputation of the city in the hope of smirching that of the Republican candidate for mayor, is soon to stop. The Journal does not believe that such a campaign can succeed in a community where a majority of people believe in fair play, but it will take the city some time to recover from the damage It is now receiving at the hands of the advocates of Democratic reform. A BIASED REPORT. Judging from the drift of comment on the report of the Citizens' League, there is general surprise that it did not bring out any new facts nor add anything whatever to the public stock of knowledge concerning the merits and demerits of candidates. Many persons thought that after several weeks of labor a committee of able and publicspirited citizens would be able to throw some valuable light on the situation, either by the introduction of new matter or by proving or disproving some of the charges and accusations that have been made. That it did not do anything of this kind, but con tented itself with recasting and repeating in new language the charges previously made by a vindictive pr.ss showed a willingness to follow in the footsteps of others s that was not expected from a committee constituted as this one was, and undertaking a public duty with the alacrity it showed. If the committee had made an In dependent Investigation of all the charges which it adopted and repeated as its own, with simply a new cast of words and a new tinge of bias, it might have avoided some gross errors, .tor example, among nearly a score of definite charges against the pres ent administration, none of which is sup ported by a particle of proof, is one that 'there has been an Increase of city Indebted ness of about $300,000." Only blind following of partisan leaders could have led to such a statement as this. When Mayor Boukwalter came Into office he found temporary loans outstanding to the amount of $195,000. Not a cent of this f should be charged up against his administration, yet the Citizens' League Includes the whole amount in the alleged increase of $300,000. If the League had examined Mayor Bookwalter's financial record, and had been fair and impartial, it would have stated that his estimate of city expenditures for 1004 is $26,559 less than the appropriations for 1903, notwithstanding the rapid growth of the city and the increasing demands on the treasury for the legitimate purposes of government, and notwithstanding also a proposed reduction of 6 cents in the tax levy. The Citizens' League sup pressed these facts, as it had everything else favorable to Mr. Bookwalter, and em phasized and exaggerated all the charges made by a partisan press without a particle of proof In support of them. It is no wonder that fair-minded people are surprised at so biased a report from so resp ctable a source. XEGRO SI' FE RAGE U THE SOUTH. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, is reported in a published interview as saying that the Republicans have decided to let the States determine the political status of the negro. "Tho South no longer fears negro domination," he says, "and yet the cotton States are as strongly Democratic as ever. It has been said that the elimination of the negro from politics would divide the white men of the South on other issues. The South Is not losing the old Democratic faith because the race question has been divested of its former incentive to solidify the white voters." Senator Morgan comes about as near being sane on political questions as any Southern Democrat, and it is therefore of some interest to know how he regards the race question and t le suffrage question. His statement that the Ropubam have decided to let the States det i mine the political status of the negro Is, of course, unauthorized, and yet, judging from present indications, it is not far from true. Several of the Southern States have disfranchised the great mass of m t-roes by laws which exclude from voting several hundred negroes for every white mau excluded, ami yet these laws are so adr.'it'v framed that It is a question whether they exeeed the constitutional right of the States to legislate on the subject. The right of a State to prescribe the qualifications of voters Is unquestioned, and a provision that applies to whites and blacks alike cannot be attacked on the ground that It excludes more negroes than white men. it is by no means certain that all the States would not be better for an educational qualIfieutlon. One or two of the Northern States have a property qualification, and ikre is no doubt as to the risht of ajw

State to affix either an educational or a property qualification for voting. It Is altogether a question of policy. In order to make the provision constitutional it should be eoual and uniform in its oiorntion. In

the case of the Southern States the question is whether the practical operation of their laws is to exclude negroes from voting on account of race or color by provisions which do not apply equally to white men. This will be a delicate question for the Supreme Court of the United States to decide if it ever reaches that tribunal. If the provision is upon its face clearly within the constitutional legislative authority of the State It would be going very far for the Supreme Court to inject a motive into the provision and attribute to the State a purpose not avowed by itself. The whole question is involved in so much doubt that Senator Morgan is almost justified in saying that the Republicans have decided to leave the matter to the States. It is not quite clear that they can do anything else. Another point made by Senator Morgan is that notwithstanding the negro has been practically eliminated from politics in the South and the fear of negro domination removed, then? is no division of the white vote on other issues. The white vote, he boasts, still retains its old-time solidity. That ma be true now, but it will not continue to be so permanently. Senator Morgan's boast is premature. The time has not come yet for the white vote to divide on other issues than the race question, but it surely will. The negro has not been eliminated from politics long enough yet for the full effect of the policy to develop. Five, ten or fifteen years hence the situation may be very different. Meanwhile, the proportion of negroes who can read and write will be steadily increasing and by the time the whites are ready to divide on other issues the number of negroes qualified to vote will be several times as great as at present. Perhaps the wisest solution of the negro question in the South is to leave it to the Southern States and to time. TARIFF ISSUE U EULAD. It may be interesting, but it is entirely futile for American newspapers to argue the question of protection or free trade for the British empire. The people of the United Kingdom and British colonies will thresh that out for themselves with as little regard for American opinion as we have shown for British views in our discussion of the matter as related to ourselves. British free trade has been a magnificent thing for both the agricultural and industrial development of the United States. It has made the United Kingdom far and away our best customer, and every American would like to see Chamberlain and his policy defeated, and defeated permanently. But will Great Britain permanently persist in the free trade policy determined upon when England held undisputed supremacy in manufacturing, and it was good business to permit her people to buy food and raw materials as cheaply as possible. This is an Interesting question for the American farmer, cotton planter, manufacturer and railroad owner. Tho loss of British business means a big hole in the profits of each of these, and by the same token it means much to American labor. The arguments that are being put forth from time to time by Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Balfour are not particularly new. There is nothing new in the general principles of the question. It is a matter of conditions. If it be true that Manitoba can give England cheap wheat, that Australia can give her cheap meat, that Egypt, India and Africa can give her cheap cotton; if it be true that American and German manufacturers In the English market are cutting down the demand for English labor, it stands to reason that the Englishman will see sooner or later in which direction his interest lies. If these things be proven true, he will find plenty of sentimental ground in the notion of imperial unity and closer union for changing the old theory for the new. He will recognize quickly enough the sound sense in the notion that commercial independence Is as Important in this commercial age as political independence itself. Protection may not be imminent in Great Britain. It would be strange if so conservative a nation were to reverse its tariff policy without long travail in discussion and political struggle; but the events of the past few weeks show plainly that tho protective policy has more powerful and influential support than would have been thought possible a year ago. In view of this situation it behooves Americans to redouble their efforts to establish good trade rela tions in the neutral foreign markets. AWTIIIMi TO BEAT BOOKWALTER. The members of the executive committee of the Citizens' League are a bit illogical. In one paragraph they beg people to vote for the Democratic nominee for mayor because they "believe that there is a much better chance for his election than for the election of Mr. Hitz." But a few words further on they recommend that people yote for Mr. Watson for police judge, though Mr. Watson is also on the Prohibition ticket with Mr. Hitz. Again, they occasionally recommend Prohibition councilmen in wards where a Prohibitionist has about as much chance of election as a white rabbit. Every child that has looked Into the present situation at all knows that Hitz will get a larger vote than any other man on the Prohibition ticket, for the dissatisfaction In both parties is limited almost exclusively to the heads of the tickets, and Hitz will get the benefit of most of this dissatisfaction, while the others on the ticket with him will scarcely feel it. It is most unfortunate for the future of the Citizens' League and the prospect of accomplishment that it held out ih the beginning that the three or four gentlemen doing business in its name should have fallen so violently at odds with Mr. Bookwaiter and his associates through the miscarriage of their efforts to trap Logsdon, for since then they seem utterly unable to get away from the notion that they should obtain personal revenge on the mayor and his friends. This feeling runs all through their manifesto, so thinly disguised that he that runs may read. That is always the trouble about the business of destroying, instead of creating; of tearing down instead of building up. Almost anybody can criticise and complain and point out evils, but It is a man s job to find the remedy, to accomplish good things and to correct evils. Criticism has its value, but helpful work in the direction of good re suits is the thing that is most needed. But when the critic tells us that the way to get better government is by putting in a gang of Democratic politicians that have 4 robbed this community in the past and are

scheming to do it again, and to ask us to j elect a mayor that raided the county treas- ,

ury and begged indulgence of the police for the gamblers when he was a candidate for office, he is asking too much of human credulity. Of course. Messrs. Hunt. Fortune. Mason and Swift are not at all ignorant of Holtzman's character and career. They can read; they know who and what his political associates are, who his clients are, and all that. But the personal remembrance of the corner they were forced into by the Bookwalter aggressiveness a few months ago seems to blind and deafen them to everything but the cry of "anything to beat Bookwalter." The president of a big shipbuilding concorn in New York, which has shut down indefinitely, attributes all the trouble to labor unions. He was quoted thus in yesterday's dispatches: If the men would give a full day's work employers might be more willing to rmet their demands, said Mr. Morse, but the fact is the employer to-day receives only about one-third of a day's work and it is Impossible to figure on a largo contract without running the risk of a heavy loss. Trades unionism is responsible for the wholo trouble. The mechanics employed in ship repairing in New York harbor are to-day receiving 2u per cent, more wages than any other port on the Atlantic coast. Their working time each day is also M per cent, les. For instance, in Philadelphia they are working ten hours a day, while in NewYork they are working eight hours. Add to this loss of 40 per cent, in wages and time the amount of loafing and you will readily see how heavily the yards in New York are handicapped. Just how much of the present inefficiency of labor, cf which employers are complaining so bitterly in all the industrial centers, :s due to labor unions it is impossible to say. That they have something to do with it is known. For example, not long ago a molder in a local foundry, who made between the hours of 7 and 11 a. m. a wheel that Is regarded by his union as a day's task, was fined so heavily that payment of the fine was out of the question and he had to leave the union and the city. It is also true that much of tho inefficiency at present is due to the unprecedented demand for labor that has ruled for more than three years. When a man knows that if he is dismissed at one place he can Immediately get a job at another and no questions asked it has a very strong tendency vo make him indifferent and lazy. This is down deep in human nature and is illustrated just as strongly in the kitchen, where there is no union, as it is in the union workshop. It is the natural penalty of superabundant prosperity and one of the things that helps to make the pendulum swing the other way. THE HUMORISTS. Kndcd Proceeding!, Boston Transcript.

(CONCLUDED FROM PAGE 9.) heavy showers necessitated postponement of the grand review at Camp Young to day, thousands of visitors had an oppor tunity to see the different State brigades in practice reviews on the vast plain west of Howard. The postponement of the grand review was a sore disappointment to the host of slght-seers from Louisville, the country around Camp Young and southern Indiana, tralnloads of people having come in to see the sojdlers on grand parade. The brigade reviews, held one after the other, were a partial compensation, and furnished beau liful and impressive spectacles. Of these it may be said, without the slighest ex aggeration, that General McKee's troops, the Secoud Brigade, gave the finest exhibi tion and made the most favorable impres sion ou the spectators. This, however, has come to be an old story at Camp Young, for the succession of honors won by Indiana in camp and afield has become decidedly monotonous to other State troops, particularly those which have been so unfortunate as to be censured by Colonel Wagner, chief of umpires, and his staff of lynx-eyed, merciless critics. THE BRIGADE REVIEW. The brigade review was ordered at short notice. Men and officers were still trying to dry sodden clothing and shoes, to get the kinks out of muscles, and to repair the other ravages of the savage righting and marches of the day before. In watching Umss fellows fall In. spick and span, alert and cheerful, It was had to realize that yesterday at this time they were about the most desperate looking lot of dough boys the imagination of man could conceive. Promptly at 2 o'clock, with General McKee In full uniform at the head, the brigade m; uvhed from camp to the parade gTound, two miles away. Colonel Harry li. Smith and the Second Regiment. Colonel McCoy and the First, and Lieutenant Colonel Bowman and the Third, was the order of the column. Governor Durbin did not witness the pruc-

tice review, preferring to wait until to morrow, when he could see Indiana's troop)

troops on parade with the rest of General Bates's division. He remained in camp, receiving and paying calls. The Governor called on Colonel Raspapoff, the Russian cavalry officer, and Colonel Foster, of the British Roysl Engineers, military attaches, who come here to observe the maneuvers. By reputation, the Governor was already well known to these foreign officers. His decisive way of dealing with mobs has made him an object of high respect among regular army officers here. "There." said Col. Doyle, of the general staff, speaking of the Governor and recent mob violence. "There Is a man after my own heart." In his tent the Governor received calls from a number of southern Indiana people visiting the camp. The brigade review gave Col. Harry B. Smith, of Indianapolis, an opportunity to distinguish himself signally. General McKee, as reviewing officer, turned the command of the brigade over to Colonel Smith as senior regimental commander. It was the first experience the jolly good fellow and thoroughly good soldier had as brigade commander, not au easy task by any meaus, but the snap and dash with which he handled the brigade, cracking it like a whip, whirling it, dancing it, pranciug it, and generally turning it inside out for the delectation of General McKee, was not unworthy of a regular brigadier. Sitting his big bay like a ramrod, giving his orders in a clear, ringing voice, never at a loss, quick as a flash of light and as firm as If he were facing a battery, the colonel showed the soldierly stuff that is In him. Lieutenant Colonel Thayer, of Greenfield, and Maj. John J. Backman, of Aurora, handled vhe Second for their commander with beautiful precision. The Second Regiment Band, from Michigan City, was a feature of the review. M'KEE WELL PLEASED. General McKee was accompanied by his personal staff, including Lieut. Guy A. Boyle, who arrived yesterday, it was easy to see the general's keen pleasure at the perfect action of his men. Their triumphs are his, as well as their woes, and the remarkable showing of Indiana at Camp Young has given General McKee some of the happiest moments of his life. General and soldiers have got closer together at Camp Young than ever before, and the affection General MeKee has for the men is only equaled by the love the men have for him. He has seen their good work and his light has shone before them. If Camp Young has done any one thing for the Indiana National Guard and it has certainly done many it has made the organization twice as compact, twice as harmonious, and three times as effective as ever before. The practice review was observed by sev eral regular army officers. "No danger that these chaps will not do the right thing at the right time," remarked one of them as the long yellow column filed off the field, its color blending so closely with the browns and yellows of the landscape that a practical illustration was made of why the sen timental blue has been taken from the sol diers" backs. Indiana had 1,800 men on pa rade Michigan troops, the Fourth Brigade held a practice review and made a tine appear ance. The Michiganders are feeling keenly their ignominious rebukes for careless and slovenly work and they have lost enough caste at Camp Young to keep their officers busy a decade patching the holes In their rep tation. Kentucky and Ohio also paraded. DURBIN AND BECKHAM. It was announced tonight that the grand review scheduled for to-day will be held to morrow afternoon at 3:30, weather permit ting. General Bates will review the divi sion in person. About 10,000 men will pass before him. With the commanding general will be Governor Durbin and Governor Beckham, of Kentucky, who will arrive to day to visit his troops. The meeting between the two Governors is awaited with great interest, but probably the least con cerned men in the whole camp is Indiana's imperturbable executive. Colonel Roger D Williams, commanding the Kentucky brigade, called at Indiana headquarters late this afternoon. He found Governor Durbin out, but he paid his respects to General McKee. The two officers chatted for fifteen minutes, Colonel Williams ex plaining that he was only delayed In call ing before by a multitude of duties which devolved upon him as a brigade com mander. To-morrow morning the officers will hear a discussion of Monday's maneuvers and battle in the assembly tents. This will be one of the most interesting lectures on the programme. Indiana's battery is practi cally sure of official commendation for Its fine work in the artillery duel at Fisher's farmhouse, where it engaged a platoon of the Twenty-first regular battery. Credit should have been given Capt. Wfl liam Louden's battalion of the First Regiment for repulsing two troops of cavalry in Monday's engagement. No umpires ware present at that point and at headquarters no mention was made of the participance of any part of the First in the fight. Ac cording to the conditions, however, Capt Louden's batteMon annihilated two troops of regular cavalry from behind a perfect system of entrenchment. Capt. Julius Blum, of Evansville, and his company were the heroes of this engagement and when the facts were known generally to-day the Governor warmly complimented the Evans ille officer and Lieutenant Wheeler, of the H in, . nn h. .(. v company, who was on the outposts.

DECISION RESERVED. Affairs of the Shipbaildinir Company A K si it Aired in Court. PHILADELjPHIA, Oct. 6.-Argumcnt was heard by thej United States Court of Appeals In this -city to-day on the appeal of the United tates Shipbuilding Company from a decision of Judge Klrkpatrick, of the New Jcjrsey Uuited States Circuit Court, appointing James Smith, jr.. receiver of the 'Shipbuilding Comjmny. Judge Kirkpatrick, vn June 30 last, on petition of Roland B. C'uiklin and three other stockholders of the company, adjudged the Shipbuilding Company insolvent and placed the nfrairs of the company in the hands of a receiver.; The shipbuilding coucern. in its petition to-oay. stater that the four complainants own one-futhjj of 1 per cent of the outstand ing stock of; the company and that not withstanding they brought the pending suit on behalf or all the stockholders, not a single other stockholder has Joined in the suit. On th contrary, the petition says, in opposition :were represented $,235,000 first mortgage bounds, $10,000.000 collateral ana mortgage b.Onds, $14,094,000 of preferred stock and $1,010,000 of common stock. The appeal is based on ekn assign ments of error against the New Jersey court. Most of the alleged errors are based on the claim that the New Jsrssf court was vjithout jurisdiction. The last error assigned is that no proper case was shown for the appointment of a receiver and that irreparable harm will result and that no neefssity exists for the appoint ment or a receiver. The bill upon which the receiver was appointed charges that through "reckless mismanagement the company's directors have made it hopelessly insolvent und that a scheme was devised between Charles M. Schwab aud Lewis Nixon before the organization of the company, by which the former should acquire the shares f the Bethlehem Steel Company for nothing and sell them to the ship concern at an enormous profit." The petition also" charged that at the time the bill was fileo Schwab "was trying, with the aid of the Shipbuilding Company's directors, to acq iire all the company's properties for nothing. The ship company, after denying all these allegations, asked that the order of Judge Kirkpatrick appointing Mr. Smith receiver be revoked. Decision was reserved. Cnkil Ovens Mm! Donn. CONNEL1SV1LLE.

The Republicans of Rhode island met here to-day iu annual convention, formed a permanent organization and selected a ticket, which Is headed by Col. Samuel P. Colt, of Bristol, president of the United States Rubber Company. Other nomiuatious were: For Lieutenant Governor, George H. Utter. Westerly; for secretary of state, Charles 1. Bennett. Providence; for attorney general, Charles F. Stearns. Providence; tor general treasurer, Walter A. Reid, Gloucester. The platform adopted supported President Roosevelt's administration and the principles of the party as adopted at the last Republican convention. The platform says: "We most cotdlally indorse the administration of our chief executive, Theodors Roosevelt, a worthy successor of the great Republican Presidents, Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield. Arthur, Harrison and McKinley. His abili y. courage, honesty a i d sound practical statesmanship have won for him and his admiuistrstion the high regard of the American people as well as the admiration of rulers snd people thn world over, and we pledge to President Roosevelt our united aui hearty support in the campaign of 1S04. "The Republicans of Rhode Island believe in the wisdom of the policy of protecting by Intelligent legislation the industries and labor of the United States from the destructive competition of countries where labor conditions and earnings are entirely unlike our own. They believe It to be the highest duty of Republican citizens to ever fuilv maintain the integrity and value of our national currency. The great work of firmly establishing a gold standard may wisely be supplemented by moriijications relieving ths rigidity of existing law relating to the currency and the colIt tion of the revenues; governmental action, producing at critical times disastrous dissatisfaction, affecting the business of ths (in Ire country, should be prevented. "The party is opposed to the immenss ttusts of the country In so far as they Inflate values beyond their normal condition, i. stroy competition and build up barons of wealth on the earning of the common leople; and it commends the courage of President Rooselt and Ms : dvtSStl ill bringing the operation of great trusts into publicity and their illegal i i dings to the bar of justice." Mavor Alphonse Griulin. jr., of Woonsocket. who was chosen permanent chairman, in his address took occasion to refer to the coming campaign in the foilowtac words: "The thoughtful people of Rhoda Island are aware of the fact that the campaign which Is about to commence Is but the skirmish preceding that otherampaign which will decide whether we shall return to the United States Senate the leader of that body, the foremost defender of our national honor and of our national prosperity Nelson W. Aldrich, and whether Rhode Island will remain faitoful to that most brilliant and courageous of living statesmen Theodore Roosevelt." s CON N Et I M I T BLE4 TIONg. Republicans Carried 123 Ton as, and the Democrats Only 37. NEW HAVK.V, conn., Oct. 6-Refums from all the towns In the State where elections were held yesterday, with the exception of Killingworth. show that 123 went Republican. 37 returned democratic majorities, and in one, Canterbury, there wss a tie vote. Last year 13 towns were Republican and 38 Democratic. Should the result from the missing town, Killingworth. proe to be the same as last year, the Republicans will have 124 towns and the Democrsts 37. There Is a possibility of another election is WffftSB, where the Democrats claim the voting wss illegally done. This situation grew out of the failure of an express company to deliver the offici.il envelopes. The package was located at West Post and brought to Westn by a messenger. Ths polls were then opened lat- to-day and abruptly closed, sfter two and a half hours. The count favored the Republicans. A review of the license vote throughout the 8tate shows that 76 towns favor license, while 91, not counting Killingworth. are against license.

Oct. 6 The Supreme Court to-day sustained the iymgworth act which provides that oonstitutlonsl tuend ments, when Indorsed by a party convention shall be added to the ballot and strslght tickets be counted as an affirmative vote. The eff. t of thi will almost certainly be the carrlng of two amendments and perhaps a third. One of these will knock out the double liability of stockholders in corporations. Another pi o Idea that each county must have st least out representative In the House of Representatives. The one amendment In doubt is that conferring the veto power on the governor. The Republicans and Prohibitionists Indorsed It and while the Democrsts took contrary action. Tom L. Johnson, Democratic candidate for governor, is favoring it on the at imp. The joint result may ss to carrv the amendment.
