From present indications the Dem ocrats will be fortunate If they do not have to call in the police at the Dem ocratic harmony dinner on the 18th. When a Democrat won't stand on a platform that he helps to frame, why should he expect the rest of the population to make a scramble for it. . If you hear any strange noises up arou nd .Winatonu r lag. thenext j few months you may know that it Is the ex-Rev. Robert Glenn trying to break Into politics again. Don't believe the people want any more "Democratic economy" if they are going to vote another $75,000,- 000 "steal" to demonstrate their economical tendencies. Wonder how much the school- book trust will contribute to the Democratic campaign fund in this State? It would seem that they are due a nice contribution. If Southern Democrats are friendly to the Confederate soldiers, they should have asked for a pension for the Confederate soldiers also when voting for the Sherwood bill. Don't believe the farmers want any more "low cost of living" of the Temocratic brand. They caused the farm products to drop in price while what the farmer buys is as high as ever. The Democrats must think they will have a hard time securing cam paign contributions this year so they have voted $75,000,000 of the Gov rnment's money for that specific purpose. , Some predict that the present ses slon of Congress will not adjourn un til next fall. Don't believe the poli ticians will stay there that long when they learn that their political fences need mending at home. If the Democrats in Congress vot ed for a "steal," what would you call the act of the last Democratic Legis lature when it voted to Increase the people's taxes in order, to create new offices and increase salaries of Demo cratic pets? v Congressman Gudger now says he would favor a Federal pension for Southern soldiers. Well, why didn't lie offer such an amendment to the Sherwood bill when he voted for it In Congress. Actions speak louder than words. Isn't it strange that those Demo cratic statesmen, who pretend to love 'the Confederate soldier so much dur ing campaigns, should have forgotten him entirely when they pushed that -enormous pension bill through Con re3 some weeks ago? h TJIIAL OP SIKAT IMCKKIIS.

HORE ARREST ARE MADE Federal Grand Jury Indicts More Labor Men for. Dynamiting ThipeAittAm Six Others Are Named in the Indictment Promises of Another Exciting Trial McNamaras Further Implicated. Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 30 Charg ed with conspiracy in transporting dynamite in violation of the Federal Interstate Commerce law, three labor leaders, Olaf A. Tveitmoe, Secretary of the State Building Trades Council; J. E. Munsey, leader of the Salt Lake Union of Structural Iron Workers, and Anton Johannsen, organizer o the State Building Trades Council, were indicted to-day by the Federal grand jury in connection with the al leged nation-wide dynamiting con spiracy. Their arrest followed. For some time they have been here at witnesses in the Government in quiry. They were arrested in the witness room in the Federal building a few minutes after the indictments were filed. The true bills under which the men were taken is but a part of the packet containing an unknown num ber of indictments. Deputy Marshals were sent out immediately, and it was said other arrests were immi nent both here and in San Francisco. Oscar Lawler, the special prosecu tor, was not present in court. It was said he had gone East, probably with with County District Attorney John D. Fredericks, who left for Indianapo lis early to-day. Fredericks took with him suit cases that were supposed to contain evidence gathered for use in the Mc- Namara trial. The action of the grand jury had a visible effect upon Tveitmoe. Ke was pale when .taken into the United States Marshal's office. "Who will you have for your at torneys?" Johannsen was asked. "Blamed if I know; we've had too many attorneys already," he replied with a laugh. United States - District Attorney McCormick announced that in addi tion to Tveitmoe, Johannsen and Munsey, indictments returned by the grand jury named E. A. Clancy, the McNamara brothers, Ortie E. Mc- Manigal and Schmidt and Caplan. "And the grand jury has not finish ed its investigation by any means," he said. E. A. Clancy, formerly business agent of the Structural Iron Workers Union of San Francisco, was charged with the same offense in the same in dictment but he has not been arrest ed. In addition to these four, five oth er men were named in the indict ment. They are Ortle McManigal, confessed accomplice of the McNa- maras and chief aid of the Federal grand jury in gathering evidence; the McNamara brothers and David Kap plan, and one Schmidt, alleged con federates of James B. McNamara In the blowing up of the Los Angeles Times building. DEMOCRATS BACI(-PDAL - WiH Try to Prevent Any Be- duction of tae Tariff at , - This Session DODGING SCHEDULE Notwithstanding the Ire4deot 1U Sent a Message to imsrres Io riaring for a Reduction of the Wool Schedule to a Point to Cover the CoU of Production Here and Abroad, the Democrats Now An nounce That They Will Jump to the i Steel Sc&ilale -How Tliey Hit Cotton Pennon Steal Imocraiers' whlc.h have b, denounced by ic Effort to Uribo Union Soldiers' . . -r-;' ' , (Special toTbe Caucasian.) Washington, D. C. Jan. 2, 1012. Upon the reassembling of the Dem - ocratic leaders of the House of Itep-j and that then they could ro into the resentatives, it becomes plainer than -Northern States and appeal to the ever that it will be their policy to trf Union soldier vote, on the ground to prevent any reduction of tho tariff that if they wfculd vote to elect a at this session of Congress. This j Democratic President that the Demo will sound strange to the averageCratic party would pass such a bill Democratic voter, hut the statement and it would become a law. of a few facts will demonstrate its truth. President Taft sent to the Demo cratic House a message before the holidays declaring for a reduction of the wool schedule to a point that would cover the difference between the cost of production of wdolen goods here-and abroad. The President sent along with his message the re- port of .the Tari Board giving - the facts to show-just what this dierence Was. These facts showed that many of the schedules could be materially reduced to a ..cftlBoint and still sage that the TarfhW11 work upon the facts aVc er important ubiects tariff law, and that he would latter, from time to time, send messages to Congress containing these facts, as soon as they were reported to him. Democratic Leaders Don't Want the Facts. The Democratic leaders now an nounce that they will not take up the n.nnic, ew,iiP nf tr-.A tariff bill A but that they will take up the steel "uu,v" w" ' schedule and other schedules not yet reported on by the Tariff Board. This sho cratic leaders any bills ws clearlv that the Demo- aut uuhet suaigui ueu iue panj; iuudse ui iaw maitnui ui any dO nOt Want tO Offer! !tiU 10 ial 1H3 uauiv. j ., iv luu u,jUf anj III- . fnr tv,o rorinrtinn nf the 1 11 tne democrats expect tneir b,- j xeresi, uy way oi ownersnip or siocks Con tariff that will be supported by the!uuyuu" Pension sieai to pass, wnat r v, yr T'o riff Rn,rH and which therefore would receive the President's approval. The Dem ocratic leaders know that they can j secure a material reduction at once! in the wool tariff schedule by offer ing a bill containing reductions jus tified by the facts furnished by the Tariff Board. Instead of preparing such a bill, they rush off and prepare a bill for the reduction of a tariff schedule which has not been investi gated, and about which they have not the facts and the President has not the facts. How the Democrats Struck Cotton. Last year these Democratic leaders prepared and rushed through the House a bill reducing the cotton schedule in a radical manner They knew they were offering a bill so radical in form that the President would be forced to veto it. They announced at that time that the next schedule that they would take up would be the wool duties. They now have the facts about weel, but they rush away from the wool sched ule to take up other subjects, simply because they know that the bills which they offer either will not pass the Senate or will not be approved by the President, until the facts re ceived from the Tariff Board will show whether or not such reduction would open the flood-gates of foreign competition and destroy American business. The Democratic leaders, while rushing through their cotton bill at the last session, and knowing that It would not pass, must have known that the only effect that would result from the same would be to frighten a number of cotton mills and cause them to run on half-time or to close down until the agitation was over, and that the only result from the same would be the falling of the price of cotton to the American farmer. In short, it seems to be clear that the Democratic leaders are not try ing to revise the tariff, but they re bent on preparing political tariffbill3 that cannot result in the reduction of a single schedule, and that taey are doing this solely In the hope! of mak ing campaign capital.

Now, when the Democratic party Is in full charge of the House of Rep resentative, instead of offering a bill to reduce the pensions to Union sol- vu:ui a u ju4Kousiy arge, tney turn and offer a bill to increase the $ 1 50.- 000.000 a year pension roll by $75,- 600,000, making in all $225,000.- 000. The Democratic leaders have clear- fly done this, believing: that a Repub- 1 ijCan President would veto the bill. A Democratic Kflort to IIi1!e the Vote of Union Soldiers.
