The suggestion of the president,that party conventions as at present con- stituted be abolished won striking ap- plause. As Mr. Wilson declared that the party conventions should be held only to ratify the verdict of preference primaries; that the persqnnel of the conventions should be for the most rt chosen from those members of ongre and congressional nominees on whom would devolve the duty of rying out platform pledges, there s a wave of hand clapping in which Secretary Bryan and members of the cabinet joined. “It was a fine, statesmanlike speech,” Speaker Clark afterwards, “cov- ering points that I have been agitat- ing for yea particularly presiden- tial primaries. “I think.” said Representative Un- derwood, “the president’s message was the address of a broad statesman, cov- ering the necessary legislative action for this session of congress. It was | in_accord with .the principles and pol- icies of our party as declared at Bal- timore, and I have no doubt it will meet with favorable action by the house of representatives.” Bill for Presidential Primaries. The declaration for legislation to pro- vide for primary elections for presi- dential nominees without the inter- vention of nominating conventions bore immediate fruit in the house. Representative Rucker of Missourd, chairman of the house committee on privileges and elections, tonight began framing a bill to cover all the presi- dent’s suggestions. He will introduce it immediately with a view to getting action by his committee before the Christmas holidays if possible. Inter- st in this recommendation was man- ifested in both houses. Several bills of this character have been introduced in the senate and advocated on the floor by republicans and progressives.

When the stomach fails to secrete enough of these digestive agencies, the only sane remedy is to supply a suf- ficient quantity of these elements to digest the food. This is the service for which Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets were made and they are recommended by leading doctors and scientists. One or two of these tablets is sufficient to digest the largest dinner. They stop almost instantly all forms of indiges- tion, such as sour stomach, belching, heartburn, dizziness, brash and dysen- tery. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets con- tain digestive elements, a single grain of which is capable of digesting 3,000 grains of food, such as meats, eggs, grains, vegetables, starches and min- eral matters of all kinds. If your stomach is sluggish or worn out, let Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets do vour digesting for vou until the stom- ach can recuperate. Give it a little vacation. It has a hard enough strug- gle at the best, with all you put in it And even when your stomach is in perfect condition you will occasionally need one after a big banquet or other isocial affair that taxes your stomach to_the. uttermost.

CRAIG PICTURED A8 A PERSECUTED MAN Attorney for Defense Attacks Case of Prosecution. Shelbyville, Ind., Dec. 2—The defense begun today in the trial of Dr. William B. Craig for the murder of Dr. Helen Knabe. At the morning session a vig- orous assault was directed against the state’s case, as outlined yesterday. In a three hour defense by Henry N. Spaan, of counsel for the accused man, Dr. Craig was held to be a persecuted man, who not only could establish a reputation for clean living through the testimony of one hundred witnesse; but who also could produce other wi nesses to swear that he was elsewhere until a late hour at least, on the night he is alleged to have killed Dr. Knabe in her flat. When the prosecution again assumed the aggressive, at the afternoon session and ‘began the introduction of witness es in support of its case, the defense met the attack boldly. The hypothesis | of murder on the one side was pitted and when the day testimony before the jury to show by what means Dr. Knabe came to her death. fled that they had been summoned to Dr. Knabe's apartment on the ing her body was found. They des- cribed the wounds that caused the woman’s death. The stale has con- tended that the wound on the left arm was received by Dr. Knabe in an effort to ward off the blow dealt by her slay- er. she inflicted the wound on herself in the convulsion of the death struggle. On cross examination, none of the wit- have been made that way. A paring knife found on the chif- fonier, bore no bloodstains the wit- nesses testified. No other instruments by means of which the fatal wound might have been made have been dis- covered. PROPERTY DESTROYED BY POSTAL EMPLOYES. Spite Work Because of Refusal to In- crease Their Wages. London, Dec. 2—The dissatisfaction among the staff of the British post- office, nearly one hundred thousand of whom recently threatened to strike at Christmas for an increase of pay is finding expression in acts of wilful destruction of governmeni property since the postmaster gemeral on No- vember 19 rejected thelr s demands. Telegraph instruments have been dam- aged in the central postoffice, type- writing machines dropped down the airshafis and a number of books are missing. The leaders of the postal workers unions, of which there are fifieen, ad- mit that preparations are being made for the employes to strike about Christmas time. uniess their demands are granted in the interim.
