Fifty Years the Standard ‘DR: —-PRItES BAKING PODER A Cream of Tartar Powder Mads fren Grapes NO ALUM Kentucky Senator is to be Beckham. Louisville, Ky., Nov.—With but a few mountain counties to hear from and these probably increasing bis lead, Governor Beckham has almost certainly won his fight against Sena- tor McCreary, for the nomination for the United States senatorship in yesterday's Democratic primary. The Governor's majority will be about 4,000. Samuel W. Hager was nominated for Governor in the same primary by a majority of between 12,000 and 15,600. Although Senator McCreary car- ried Louisville by 7,287, Governor Beckham ran eo wellin the county that he overcame this lead and has in the neighborhood of 4,000 to epare. The Republicans gained two Con- gressmen, giving them a total of four in the lower House. John Crepps Beckham, Governor of Kentucky, whose nomination in the primary in succession to United States Senator McCreary !s equiva- lent to an election, enjoys the dis tinction of being the youngest Gov- ernor in the United States, and when fe takes his seat in the Senate will be the youngest member of that i body. ‘k He comes of a distinguished Ken- , tucky family and is 30 years of age.

Hadley Scores Organization Post-Dispa'ch Attorney General Hadley was the only one who would consent to be quoted regarding the dissatisfaction with the State organization. All he had to say was: “It is evident from the result of this election that we did not carry Missouri two years ago through the efficiency of the State organization. “The 50,000 Republicans the State committee said did not vote two years ago, and whom they promised to get to the polls this year, have apparently voted the Democratic ticket.’, State officials who discussed the matter, but would not consent to the use of their names, tell of $8000 received from the National Commit- MPROVE GURRENEY LAWS | Committees of Bankers in Session at Washington to Discuss the Matter. THE PRESIDENT AWAITING THE RESULT Purposely Delayed Writing Finan- cial Part of Message Until Com- mission Takes Some Action—St. Louis Man has a Plan of his own Which is Meeting With Favor. Washington, Nov. 12.—Committees representing the American Bankers* association and the New York Cham- ber of Commerce met in this city Monday to endeavor to frame a measure for the consideration of con- gress looking to the giving of author ity to issue emergency circulation in eases of financial stringency, The importance of the work of the commission can not be overesti- mated. It will be in’ session here three or four days and perhaps a week. There is a definite plan anu determination not to adjourn until a conclusion siiall have been reached and definie plan adopted upon which all members of the commission are agreed, That plan will probably be the ene which during the coming ses sion of congress will be embodied in to law. It is an open secret that President Roosevelt has purposely delayed writing that important part of his message to congress dealing with the financial question, so he could have advantage of the recommendations of this commission of bankers. The rec ommenrations of this commission, ii is believed, will be reflected in the presdent’s message. It is conceded that no member of the commission will have more im portant part in its deliberations than Mr, Huitig, of St. Louis, who has made a study of the elastic currency question for a number of years, as he has of the financial situation in the United States and the part which the national government has in relation to the banking situation of the coun try. It seems to be generally under stood that the commission will fin- ally agree upon an elastic currency plan which will be either an ampli fication or modifcaton of what haa become known as the New York Chamber of Commerce plan, Bank: ers everywhere and the pudlie gen- erally have been made familiar with toils plan through its exploitation in the press and agitation of the sub- ject by great financial institutions of New York City. Mr. Huttig has a plan of his ewn which is a modifica: tion of the chamber of commerce plan. Several other members of the commission are favorable to the Hut- tig plan, and it will surprise no one if the St. Louis banker will impress his ideas upon a majority of the com mission meinbers.

Mi Have Complete Understanding. Paris, Nov. 12.—Foreign Minister NTC South Eager for the Immigrants tc Take the Place of the Idle Negroes. SOUTHERN IMMIGRATION CONFERENCE Gev. Heyward, of South Carelina, Speaks of the Race Question at the Nashville Convention and Tells How it Interferes With the Coming of Desirable Emigrants, Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 12.—The second annual session of the South ern Immigration and Quarrantine conference began Monday. The rea purpose of the conference is ¢c bring about a more equitable distri bution of immigrants. The idle ne gro class causes some apprehension in the minds of immigranis, it tt said, and this operates against the south receiving what it thinks is its proper share of laborers from abroad Various plans are suggested for rid ding the south of its worthless ne groes, and the race question there fore was early Injected into the dis cussion, Gov, Heyward, of South Caroliaa said the coming of {mmigrants to the south had a bearing upon the prac tical and direct solution of the race problem, There had been too much, theorizing; it was time for action. He said: “Sectional feeling fortunately 1s passing away and our people under stand each other better. Problems which were at one time peculiarly southern are becoming national. We Americans are more and more mu tually carrying ‘the white man’s bur den’. We have been seeking for some time to make some change in|" our political and economic system which will affect the negro alone and which will, at the same time, ald in solving our problem, “I do not think that conditions which are the result of years can be changed in a day by the adoption of any rule or the enactment of any special legislation. To solve the race: question will require not only time bet patience and judgment on the part of the white man and upon the part of the negro; it will call for the exercise of more common sense and a far greater appreciation of his moral responsibility.” Gov. Heyward did not believe that the antagonism between the races in the south was as bad as had been reported. “That conditions are far from satisfactory, I will admit,” he said, “but I do not believe that the southern people are standing on a volcano and that we are not far re Moved from a race war. One race riot in the city of Atlanta, condemned by the people and press of Atlanta and the south does not mean a race war any more than a similar riot in Ohio is a fore-runner of a massacre throughout the north, “Any solution of our race problem in the south lies as much with the negro as with the white man, but one of the greatest barriers to any advancement of the negro is his natural indolence. This explains his failure to use his opportunity and in this alone is responsible for the dis- astrous results which follow. The white race is the predominant race and the negro must understand once and for all that the bounds of the social and pglitical questions will be determined by the white man alone and by the white man’s \code. He ‘ has a right to expect that his civil status should be the same in every respect as is that of white man. a proper understanding of these funda- mental principles by the negro—and there is no reason why he should not the right direction. adjust himself to these inflexible con- ditions, then the. negro will have to go.” Republicans Have Majority of 59 in Sixtieth Congress.
