Senator James, accredited with speaking for President Wilson and the adminlstrn i tlon, Interpreted the Baltimore plat form in a speech In the senate today as committing the president and the democratic party to free sugar. His remarks were In reply to declarations by Senator Ransdell and Senator-elect Broiissard of Louisiana that It did not. In the gallery was Secretary Tu multy, who went to hear the reply to the anti-free sugar democrats, who for two days have assailed the sugar schedule which President Wilson has declared will not be compromised if he can help it. Senator James declared the plat form adopted at the Baltimore con vention approved the course of the democratic house in the lat session of congress and that it Included ap proval of the Underwood free subar bill.

"J know, the Chicago headquarters so instructed Representative Aswell of (Louisiana," he declared. Senator James referred to the point made by the Louisiana leaders that President Wilson and the platform had declared against tariff reductions which would Injure any legitimate In dustry. , "By legitimate Industry, In the pint. form." said the Kentucky senator, "is meant industrially legitimate . and commercially legitimate Industry. It does not refer to an industry which has had '1,25 years of government aid and protection and is yet unable to take care of Itself,"' Senator James eloquently praised President Wilson's stand for free sugar. "If William H.

REPLY TO J CABINET Matter Considered at Three Hours Session Will Be Presented Shortly. l"!y Associated Press. Washington, May 1G. President Wilson and the cabinet at a three hour session today considered the re ply of the United States to Japan's protest against the California anti allen law and it ' was announced that un answer to the Japanese note prob ably would bo delivered very soon. Secretary Bryan presented a draft ot the answer which is believed to have been substantially approved. It may lie made public after delivery to thu Japanese ambassador. Washington, May 10. Secretary tlryan returned from New York early today and was at his desk long before the cabinet meeting, at which he was to present the , reply of the United States to Japan's protest against the California land legislation. It is probable steps soon will be tak en to publish the text of the Japanese protest, although that may be deferred until the answer of the United States has been delivered. ' Although frequent Inquiries from the Japanese ambassador Indicate a disposition to press the negotiations, probably in recognition of the state of public mind in Japan, yet diplo matic practice warrants an allowance of at least several days for the delivery of the state department's answer. President , Wilson's announcement that there are to be no movement of troops or ships that could be connected with the situation is expected by offi cial circles to be construed as evidence of his conviction that the issue can and will be adjusted by diplomacy. So far, the order has not Interfered with the plan to send some coast artil lery troops from Sun Francisco to re inforce the garrison In Hawaii. But as the movement Is in execution' of comprehensive plans for permanent gaiisons in the Insular' possesions and In the canal zone, outlined by the gen eral staff last fall and approved by former President Taft and former Secretary Stimson, before there was any suggestion of friction with Japan, It is believed that Its execution will not be a violation of the president's instructions of yesterday. The administration has been trying to discourage "war scares'' by every possible means as was evidenced by executive disapproval of an order last week for the Immediate dispatch from Newport to Norfolk of the submarine flotilla.'

WITNESS i IS JEISTinS Stands Today Where He Stood When Watts Opposed the Constructive State Legislation. - 1 WATTS' ENODRSEMENTS "ARE TAKEN TO M'ADOO nree Staltwart Negroes Load Them on Dray and Deliver ; Them Overman to Visit McAdoo. Gazette-News Bureau, Wyatt Building, Washington, Mnv 111. (lathering together three stalwart North Carolina negroes, Jim Harris, Charles West and Lee Christian, Hu bert Martin, secretary to Senator Overman yesterday afternoon loaded on a wagon 5000 or more petitions and etters of indorsement of .Col. A. D. Watts, who wants to be collector for the western district, and successfully delivered the papers at the office of the secretary of the treasury where they were deposited upon the floor in Mr. McAdoo's private room in tb treasury building. Senator Overman will call upon Mr. McAdoo and ask his careful consideration of the large latch of papers. All that his political friends can do or him will have been accomplished when the Junior senator pays his lnal visit to the treasury department. Po litical friends of the Iredell man from the governor down to the humble jus- ice of the peace have affixed their signature to Mr. Watts' petition. While politicians make up the major part of Watts' indorsement, there are of course a few names on the petition of men who are not holding office and do noJs care to do so. But they make Trp a small minority. It has been learned that Secretary Daniels has not changed his mind lit regard to. Colonel': Watts, Btories pub Ished in certain papers in North Caro lina to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Daniels stands today just where he stood when Watts opposed progres sive legislation In the North Carolina egislature. Further when all is said and done President Wilson will have his candidate for the collectorship, but he is not pushing any particular man in the old time Daniels way. He Is opposing Watts, because he does not believe a man of his reactionary tac tics should he given one of the best Jobs at the hands of the Wilson ad ministration. Almost any progressive democrat would not be objectionable to Mr. Daniels. Daniels will continue to tight Watts and unless all signs fail the secretary will win. In this tight he has the support of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and thousands of North Carolinians who desire to see Wilson's policies carried out. Mr. Daniels Is receiving hundreds of let ters from the state urging him to keep up the light against Watts and It Is not believed he will quit when his long fought for principles are at stake as Is the case now.

He wag followed by Chairman Travis of the corporation commission nd Attorney General tsiekett, who Iso spoke vigorously to the shippers and urged them not to hesitate to car- the tight all along the line. It was the largest gathering of busi- ess men ever assembled In the cap ut city for such a cause. Raleigh sent p a body of 75 men and Charlotte, Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Sa in and many other cities and towns ent determined men to the meeting. hey evinced a determination to fight the thing through. The Tax of Discrimination. Provisional President W. R. Fore man first called upon Oovernor Craig, who declared that he did not have inything new to say, but who never theless said many new things on the ubject. He expressed his pleasure at such a largo gathering even . the house gallurie were yurti&lly filled nd said that us the'-people became etter informed on the rate situation it would be even easier to get concert ed ai'tion. The governor spoke of the arbitrary fixing of rates by carriers and taking out of the pockets of North Carolinians $5,000,000 a year tdditlonal for the same service as ren dered other states. The people would not stand foruch a tribute to be laid iy the state from a part of its citi zens, would resist the federal govern- tnetn in such an event, and yet the irriers who do business by license ot the state have seen fit to levy an ad ditional tariff of $5,000,000 on the people of North Carolina. For Item-lit of the Whole People. The governor declared that this freight rate movement was not an ex clusive affair, but that It was for the lenefit of the whole people, and the fight Is not against any other state. The regulation of rates beyond the limits of the state is not possible, but the sovereignty of the state Is supreme within Its borders, and there Is noth ing in the constitution to compel the people to submit to the Injustice. He said the people had been kind to th common carriers and all asked now Is fair treatment. "We demand justice," declared Oov ernor Craig, "and we tell you that we are going to have justice. I had rather have war than an ignomlnous peace, and It would be ignominious for the people of the state to submit to con ditions any longer." Governor Craig said that the carrier had clogged the docket of the interstate commerce commission and then tell the people 'o go there for a settlement. The people have put thlr hands to the plow, he declared, and the carriers may rest assured that there will be no turning bark. The state will take from the rallromls some of the money they have wrongfully taken from the people, the governor declared, for It can be done. The carriers may con tlnue to reach down Into the pockets of the citizens, destroy the Industries of the state, but we will take that money back from them, he Insisted "We will take It buck until they find It easier to do right than to do wrong." The governor pledged the powers of his office, the legislature and the cor poration commission to the people of the state In this light against unjust rates until Justice Is done tho state, He received a great round of applause as he took his seat. Chairman Travis Speaks. Chairman Travis of the corporation commission, who followed Governor Craig, told the shippers that they had n long fight iH'fore them. He wanted them to know that he approved their course, hut he also wanted them to real Ice that the railroads would fight mighty hard to keep from toeing COO, on 01n revenue each year. Chair man Travis said he had looked at the question from every standpoint nnd was satisfied more than ever that the carriers were practicing a dlsrrlmlna tlcm that ronld not be Justllled. The people of the state have only one course to pursue, and that Is to en "nge In an effort to correct the wrong. Me said the carriers were etphhorn lighters nnd worthy of the best ef. forts of the whole people, hut the fight will -he won. He whs sure nf this Fight It to the hitter end.
