THE PEOPLE WILL
NAME PRESIDENT
Plans for putting Into effect the
lYesideiitial preferential primary
Idea suggested by President Wil
son, were discussed by Democratic
leaders at a luncheon given in Wash
ington this week by the Common
Council Club. A plan of State pri
maries proposed by Joseph VV.
Folk was supported by other speak
er, Including . Secretaries UedfieU
and Wiiscn, Senator Owen, Louts D.
Brandeis, Assistant Secretary Ham
lin, of the Treasury Department,
and John. Burke, trtasurerf of the
United States.
" ' K "comaiilltee" "was named to- draft
a plan for the State primary method
of nominating Presidents. If the
ainmiittee's report is adopted at
the; next nieetmrcrnhe tiud tt
probably will be presented to the
meeting iu May of the house of
governors, aJid the committee Mil
urge Congress to adopt legislation
necessary for making the plan op
erative. . . '
The truft question was discussed
during the meeting and some differ
once of opiniom arose between Sec
retary Redfield and Mr. Brandeia
aft to the best method of dealing
with, combines. .Mr. Brandeis In
sisted that his long advocated meth
od of vigorous prosecution was best,
-while Secretary Redfield held that
the party should, not proceed too
Vapidly in this work for fear it
might disturb business conditions.
He said that the trusts seemed bo
Lie beginning to realize that they
would have to coonie into line and
that they anight be brought into
proper control without taking any
chances of upsetting general busi
ness conditions.
Opposition to Presidential prefer
ence primaries, Mr. Folk told the
club, had been due largely to belief
that it would "interfere with the
rights of the States to regulate . and
conduct their own, elections." For
this -reason he said he was for the
State plan. - .'';- -..-
A bill to provide for primiary elec
tions at which voters of all parties
may choose their, Presidential nomi
nees, has been completed by Repre
sentative Kuckor, of Missouri, chair
man of the House committee on

President, to carry , out the adminis
tration recommendations.. The meas
ure will be taken up by the. com
mittee January 13. It provides f for
retaining party conventions - only

cepting decisions of the primaries
and for formulating the platforms of
the parties.

MR. JOHN A. HALDIN PASSED
TO HIS REWARD WEDNESDAY.
-Mr. J. A. Ilaldin, the tailor, died
at his home onArlington street Tues
day night .albout 10 o'clock after
an illness for a week with uremic
poisoning. He- is survived by. a lone
wife, who. Is left without a relative
of any kind. The death is a peculiar
ly sad one. The devotion of the aged
man to his aged wife, wiho is feeble,
was noted by all. A more devoted
couple never lived la Reidsville.
Mr. Ilaldin was about 64 years of
age. lie camp to jRkidsville 18 or
20 years ago, and has since, from
time- to time, been engagtKl , in the
tailoring business. When in faealtli
he was able ta provide the comforts
for himself and wife. In recent years,
however, he suffered greatly with
rheumatism and his earning capacity
greatly diminished. V
People who knew the deceased held
him in 'high esteem. He was of an
amiable nature and cheerful even
when the clouds were hanging low.
No one ever saw "Uncle Jack" when
he could not muster up a cheerful
word.
Mr. Ilaldin was imbued with an un
UBual amount of patriotism, and his
Passing ends one of the. matt active
military careers of modern American
times. As a boy b.e Joined the
New Jersey troops soon after com
ing to this country from Sweden,
and served throughout the -Civil
War. He was a lieutenant in Capt.
Ellington's Reidsville company which
went ta Cuba, and was in the Philip
pines in service there during the
insurrection. He also saw service In
one or two foreign wars, we learn.
Less tlian a week ago a party vis
ited him for the purpose of learning
facts about his long military life
with a view of trying to establish
his right toC a pension. Owing! to
his age Mr. I&ldin enlisted in the
Union, army under an assumed
name, fbut during a recent visit "to
his old hem in New Jersey he
found comirades wiho remembered nis
service in the Iwiar.
Mrs. HaWinls future, he great
sorrow in her old age, and her lone
lkiiesal In the world, will appeal to
every humian being who knew of the
devotion of the old couple, and It
is( hoped that some way will be
found to enalblei her to Bp end her
last few years at least comfortably.
The funeral services , were son
ducted from the late residence of
the deceased Thursday afternoon at
2 o'clock. The Masonic Lodge, of
which he was a devoted member, had
charge of the services. Mr, Haldin
was regimental color sergeant on
Colonel Craig's staff, and commission
ed officers of the Third Regiment
were' 6elected as pall-bearers. Thesa
were Colonel J. N. Craig, Major R.
G. Gladstone and Lieutenants R, T.

THE PRESENT CRISIS. .
Once to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide
In the strife ofTruth and Falsehood,
For the good cr evil side.
Then, to side with Slight is noble;
Then we share her wretched crust
Ere her cause brings fame or profit,
And 'tis prosperous to be Just
Then it is the brave man chooses,
While the coward turns aside,
Doubting in his abject spirit
Till his Lord is crucified.
Hast thou chosen, O my people,
With w hich side to take thy itand,
Ere th eDoom - for- her worn sandls.
Shakes the dust against the land?
