SCIENTISTS NOW SEEKING
ANTI-TOXIN FOR MEASLES.
Washington, Sept. 10. With ev
ery hope of success, the scientists of
the United States hygienic laborato
ry are now engaged in seeking an
anti-toxin or preventive of measles,
which annually claims a heavy toll
among infants and children in the
United States. The research is based
on the success of a recent : experi
ment with monkeys conducted by Dr.
John F. Anderson and Dr. Joseph
Goldberg, by which the tecdontists
for the first time in medical history
actually Inoculated a small colony
of animals with the disease. Taking
this as a basis the anti-toxin is to be
developed although the measles germ
is so minute as to be tmdlscoversble
under the most powerful mtcroscope.

BOYS IT'S
THE PARTY
Does Not Believe Progressive
Party Leaders Could Carry
Out Their Platform
New York, Sept. 10. Gov. Wood-
row Wilson in an address before the
New York Press Club last night,
questioned the ability of leaders of
the progressive party, if elected, to
carry out any part of the policies of
its platform. Much of the speech
was devoted to an analysis of tne
progressive party plans, although he
gave some attention to the record of
the republican party and predicted
a victory for united democracy. He
said in part:
"I have come here tonight for
the -purpose of discussing just as
candidly as possible the political
ituation; and 1 hope that in doing
so 1 shall do injustice to no one.
am not one of those who believe that
the right tactics in politics is to de
preciate the men you are opposed to
and to belittle and misrepresent the
forces with whlchyou have' to con
tend. It ought to be a frank,
straightforward, and fair determin
ation of what it is we are to agree
upon and do, and how we are to do
it in the great field of our common
action. My feeling about my own
candidacy for the presidency is that
If 1 cannot be the people s spokes
man I don t want tne mtovote ror
me. I want to feel, If 1 am elected,
to the office of president, that I am
speaking the purposes and Impulses
and judgments of the people of the
United States. We are men, we are
not politicians. We do not live our
lives at the polls. We are Interested
in politics only as It is a means of
adjusting the law to serve our life
as it should be served.
"I want to discuss the three par
ties now seeking your support. 1
know there are more than three
parties In the United States, and it
Is not out of any disrespect to the
parties that have commanded only
a small number of votes In the past
that 1 leave them out of the reckon
ing for the present.
"Let us consider, first, the repub
lican party. There ii a great, deal of
difference between the republican par
ty and certain groups of gentlemen
who have been allowed to lead and
direct the republican party. The re
publican party, as represented by
these men, Is the very party which
has got us Into the difficulties we are
now trying to get out of. I do not
have to prove that, because we have
got into those difficulties In the last
fifteen years, and during the last
fifteen years that party has been In
power. If it did not get us into
these difficulties, who did?
"Mark you, I am not saying that
the leaders of the party knew that
thy were doing us an evil or that
they were doing us an evil or that
my part, I am very much more

COMMITTEE TO
i
Will Pass On Requirements
For Voting In Senatorial
Primary In November
Chairman Chas. A. Webb last
night called a meeting of the state
democratic executive committte for
Thursday night, September 19, to
take up the unfinished business or
the former meeting a few months
ago, tins consisting or passing on
the.-requirements" for ' voting in the
senatorial primary at the general
election. When the committee met
last this matter was deferred.
The Kitchin and Clark members
of the committee insisted that only
those electors who voted the demo
cratic ticket almost in its entirety,
with the exception of one or two
"scratches," should be allowed to
participate in the primary. The rub
came at-this' point.,- -The Simmons
members of the committee thought
the pollholders would be the best
judges of democrats in their com
munities, and as Messrs. Kitchin and
Clark would have a majority of the
pollholdcrs, the Simmons supporters
on tho committee thought this ques
tion could properly be left with the
election officers.:
Nobody wanted republicans to
vote in the primary and very few
people expect republicans to offer
themselves In November. The ques
tion was resolved into how much
scratching should be permitted, all
agreeing that persons who should
vote for the republican national
ticket would not be eligible.
it seemed to be a small matter,
but was large enough to sauce a
sort of row after adjournment, some
of the friends of Judge Clark and
Governor Kitchin appearing to think
that some fell scheme was being
hatched.

(Special to the Times.)
Durham, Sept. 10. The three
dormitories at Trinity College will
be called Jarvis Hall, Aycock Hall
and Allspaugh Hall, after Governor
Thomas J. Jarvis, whose adminis
tration set the state in the way to
material prosperity in which it is
now traxelling; Governor Charles
B. Aycock, who made popular edu
cation the chief motive of his ad
ministration, and Colonel J. W. All
spaugh, of Winston, the oldest llv
lng graduate of the College, and one
of the men who stood in the breach
in the days of financial struggle. So
voted the Executive Committee of
the oBard of Trustees at their meet
ing yesterday. In commenting upon
this action President few says that
Trinity College although it rests
upon a private foundation is a state
Institution just as much as if it were
supported by public taxation. The
heroe.s of the state are its heroes
and it counts it a privilege to name
two of its buildings after two dis
tlngui8hed governors of the state
the one now dead and the other full
of years and crowded with honors,
both of whom. It may already be
safely predicted, will rank among
the greatest North Carolinians of
