ind Chairman Mack held a rapid fire
conversation. Chairman Mack then
announced the names of the temporary
officers as suggested by the National
Committee.
The mention of Judge Parker's
name brought forth applause from
New York. Illinois and Indiana delegations.
The applause was only mild
when Bryan entered the hall shortly
before the opening of the session and
took his seat alongside of Cardinal
Gibbons.
As soon as the reading of the list
of temporary officers had been made
Bryan walked from his seat to the
platform. His face was very pale,
set and rigid. Wild applause grassed

WASHINGTON, D. C.. June IS.?
If in order to be convinced that the
present policy of excessive protection
is a mistake, the American public
I simply demands evidence that workers
in the most highly protected industries
receive no protection whatsoever,
then the country will go overwhelmingly
Democratic this fall. The
evidence is accessible.
The Lawrence, Mass., strike reveal,
ed that the men, women and children
workers in the great woolen mills?
the most highly protected industry
of all?receive $5, $6 and $7 a week
wages for full time. The Stanley
committee-showed that workers In
the blast furnaces of the steel mills
?the second most highly protected
industry?work 12 hours a day, seven
days a week, and are miserably
treated and underpaid.
And now comes the most damning
revelations of all, in the report oi
the New York Factory Investigating
commission, showing that there arc
296,000 women at work in the high
ly protected factories of New Yorl
cities, and that the average weekly
wage of these women tollers is |5
The proprietors of the factories toli
the investigators time and again thai
they "use women In place of met
wherever possible, as they are cheap
er and do not strike for better wagei
or conditions."
The report of this commission hai
been verified by independent invest!
gators of a big New York newspaper

eral thousand club women, ref.resentj
Ing women's clubs of every description
and In every section of the country
are gathered here to attend the
eleventh biennial convention of the
General -Federation of Women's
Clubs, which formally opened here
today and will continue in session

egates is by far the largest which
ever attended one of these biennial
conventions and? Judging Trom- the
elaborate program, the numerous
prominent speakers scheduled to address
the convention and the intense
interest shown by the attending delegates,
the biennial which opened
today promises to exceed in importance
all previous gatherings of the
federation.
Today'B program does not include
a business session. The afternoon reception
was planned to give the del.
egates an opportunity to become acquainted
with one another and with
the general officers of the federation.
In the everting meeting at the Sutter
Street Pavilion the visiting delegates
will be welcomed by Mrs. E. G. Denniston,
president of the local board
and other officials and a number of
responses will be made by leading
delegates. The first business session
will be held at the Sutter Street Pavilion
tomorrow morning, when the
president of the Federation, Mrs.
Phillip N. Moore, of St. Louts, will
submit her report. The rest of the

BATH WINS CAME FROM
THE PINETOWN TEAM
Id a one sided game Saturday Bath
defeated Pinetown on the Bath dia- 1
mond by a score of 11 to 1. The game
began by Bath scoring twp runs in
the first inning and Pinetown scoring
one. The fans on the firing line began
to warm up and the prospects
were that the game would be close
and Interesting, but by the time the
fourth inning was played the game
was decided in favor of the Bath
team as they had scored nine runs
while Pinetown had only one. The
playing of Edmundson at first and i
Bridgers at short contributed largely
toward winning the game while
Wlnfield nailed a long drive to center
which caused the fans to sit up
and take notice. Bridgers. L. did the
long driving for the team while Tyer
made four clean hits out of five times
at the bat. The Pinetown team
played after the usual manner of a
losing nine but promised to do better
next time.
Batteries: Bsth, Tyer and Gaylord.

Tariff Promises of Republicans

low is the cost ot living to be re- *
luced? Thie is the most important ( ^3
lucstiou before the American people,
is solution iM more vital far than the
dentity of the next President.
I'nder the present system of ex.
ess'.ve protection, those who toll are
ach year finding it more difficult to
rtake a living, while the comparative k
landful of millionaires who chiefly
pap the benefit of this toil spend
heir time in idleness and dissipation,
heir fortunes meanwhile increasing v/i
n proportion to the c ost of living. ^
The result is that many American*
>artfcularly the hardworking poor,
ire becoming plainly disgusted with
he way things are going: disgusted
ven with this form of government,
ind are turning to socialism. J
This feeling on the part of the
vage earner is simply history repeat- i
ng itself. Extravagance and povery.
the history of republics shows,
lever made good bed-fellows in a
'cradle of liberty." It is obviously
mportant that the high cost of living
iroblem be solved the better for the
epubltc. Which party will solve
he Republican party or the Democratic
party? The Republican theory
las always been that the heavier the
arlff tax on the things eaten, worn
?r used by the people, the better for
hat people. The Democratic theory
b that to reduce taxation is to reduce
I>rlce8. The people must choose beiween
the two policies, the policy of -j
protection or tbe policy of merely
enough tariff to raise sufficient rev- 4
enue to meet the expenses of the gov?rnment.
HI*Cory Repeats Itself.
Tf the Republicans are swept from
power on November 5 because of
their failure to live up to tariff promises.
it will not be the first time that >
the tariff operated to the same and
for the party of protection. '3
During the war the tariff had been
elevated to tbe skies but afterwards
tbe Democrats tried to have It reduc
pa. By 18SO tbe Republicans bad ]
to notice tbe demand. They promised
downward revision but in 1882
passed a bill making only slight rednctions.
The public got mad?just
like it la now over the Payne_Aldrlcb
bill?and in 1884 elected Cleveland.
When tbe Republicans got lnte
power again they boosted the tariff, 3
which had been lowered by the Democrats.
Prices went up, the rank and
file became indignant, and In 1.892 ...
again made Grover Cleveland president.
