PARTY SOLID FOR WILSON
Sees Sure Victory For Jersey
Governor; Chats Interest
ingly of Conditions in South
"Roosevelt will not get one vote
out of a thousand among the dem
ocrats iu Alabama,'* said Major \N,
W. Screws, editor of the Montgomery
Advertiser, who is visiting in Mt.
Clemens and spent Tuesday in De
troit. "The Democrats are united
on Wilson and what Republicans
there are will vote for Taft.
"The Democrats in the south have
not been taken in by Roosevelt s at
titude toward the Negro delegates in
his Chicago convention. We recog
nise It for what it is, a purely politi
cal trick for the benefit of the grand
stand. It will have no effect on the
vote.
"The Democrats in Alabnma are
entirely in harmony with Gov. \N 11-
son in spite of the fart thut l nder
wood, our own candidate, was our
first choice. There was strong popu
lar sentiment in favor of Wilson and
the people are entirely satisfied with
him.
"There seems to be no question
about the election of Wilson. For
a time I was Inclined to think that
the. reaction against Roosevelt in
favor of Taft would make It a hard
fight, but It does not look so much
like it now. With a united party the
Republicans would have bad a
chance In North Carolina. Tennessee.
West Virginia and Missouri thts
year, but the split has made it im
possible for them to carry these
states.
"There are plenty of Republicans
In the south. They cast 1*5,000
white votes in Alabama last elec
tion, • and there are two or three
counties in the state which are prac
tically white and always go Repub
lican. They were the counties where
union sentiment was strongest dur
ing the war. In the black counties,
though, there is scarcely a slugle
white Republican to be found.
"Race feeliug is not so bitter as
It was some years ago. I do not mean
that there has been any change in
the social status of the Negroes. The
social lines are Orawn as tightly as
they ever wye. and they always will
be drawn tight, but the bitterness
which characterized the fe-ling be
tween the races is gradually disap
pearing. We could not get along
without the Negroes. They do much
of the labor lu the cotton fields,„ the
mines and the forests, though fac
tory labor. to the whites. The
Negroes are' getting a good common
school education and the state is
giving, them every advantage. They
are not. acquiring land to any girnt
extent, though there an* u few of
them who have done so. Whgn they
do they make steady, conservative
citixens.
"It is generally supposed that prac
tically all the cotton raised' in the
south is by Negro labor. Asa mat
ter of fact there-ls much of-the-erop
that Is 'tobt touched by Negro labor
st all. There are many small farms
that are being worked by white set
tlers, who have form the
north and weal, and they raise some
mighty fine cotton, too.
"There Is a general tendency to
break up the land into small farms
and It Is a good thing for the coun
try. In spite of the big industrial
development around Birmingham,
the farming sections of Alabama
have shown a greater increase In
population thau the mauyjgclurjug,
sections.
"We have In the south the only
■oil on earth adapted for raising the
sort of cotton that the world's co
ton mills require. England and
Russia have been experimenting for
years, attempting to develop lands
that can be used for commercial cot
ton, but they have not been able to
find any, and last year the south
produced 16.500,000 bales out of the

INVESTIGATION OF FAKE
ENROLLMENTS WEE NOT
RE FINISHED FOR WEEK
No Warrants Will Be Issued
Until Then, and Probably
Never
'1 he investigation of the alleged
fraudulent enrollments will not be
completed before another week, and
no warrant! will be asked for until
that time, according to Detective Arn
old, the Burns operative in charge of
the investigation. Doubt is expressed
about the city hall and county building
that warrants will ever be issued.
Detective Arnold was at work in the
city clerk's office, Wedne day morn
ing, and had the assist; eof clerks
connected with the office In examining
the enrollment books. Arnold and
the local detectives assigned to the
| case finished the work of checking up
| the enrollments in the river precincts
of the Fourth ward, Tuesday, and
Wednesday he was obtaining names
from the enrollment books for tbe
precincts in the northern part of the
Sixth ward. In this district there are
a number of factories and boarding
houses for the employes
"We are not confining our investi
gation to the river precincts '* said
Mr. Arnold. "W« are branching out
to all other precincts where there is
any chance of finding colonies of
■ fraudulent enrollments. There would
be little chance of fraudulent enroll
ments in the strictly residence dis
tricts, so we are not bothering about
them, but we are Investigating all
those precincts in which large sac-
I torles are located.
1 We are not confining the investiga
tion to the Democratic enrollments,
either. In the river precincts we
found two or three fictitious Republi
can enrollments here aud there, but
the same amount of attention was not
directed to them as was directed
against the colonies of fake Demo
cratic enrollments. We are trying to
expose these colonies first, but when
we get through all fictitious enroll-!
ments iu both parties will have been j
[shown. up. We will nqt get through
for about another week, aud we can’t

SENATE REFUSES TO HIT
IT COMMERCE COURT
House Passes Bill Over Taft’s
Veto But President Wins
in Upper Branch
WASHINGTON. Aug 21— Attempt
to override President Taft’s second
veto of the •budget” appropriation
bill, failed This afternoon. The bouse
nutate led the nwc«»»ary two-thirds,
154 to 53; but the attempt failed in
the senate. 34 to 27—41 votes being
necessary to pass the measure
it was believed that the bill would
be immediately re passed jj both
houses with the commerce court
abolition, to which Taft objected,
eliminated.
By the overwhelming vote of 154 to
52 the house, today for the second time
passed the budget" appropriation bill
one Republicans voted with the Demo
crats. Rep. Sulzer, of New York, was
the only Democrat voting to sustain
the president.
For the second time within a week,
th** president today vetoed the legis
lative, executive and judicial appro
priation bill. The president based his
disapproval ou the ground that it
abolished the commerce court.
In hi* former veto the president ob
jected to the bill both because of the
court’s abolition and tbe limitation on
civil service tenure On its second
passage congress eliminated the sev
en-year tenure, hut allowed the com
merce court provision to remain.
legislators told Taft personally that
the bill could be passed over the veto,
as more than two*thlrdj» of the mem
bers or both bouse and senate are
said to be opposed to the commerce
court. _.
The veto message was a bare ten
lines in length and merely asserted
that the president was returning the
measure because of the commerce
courts elimination Attention was
railed to the previous veto message
Immediately at the conclusion of the
reading of the presluent s message in
the house. Rep. Fitzgerald, of New
York, moved to pass the "budget" bill
over the veto.
Fitzgerald prefaced the rollcall up*
1 on his motion by Haying Taft for de
j fending the new court.
"Now congress muai undertake tbe
| stupendous task of enncatlng the pres
j idem upon legislation." said Flttger
: nld. by convincing bin’ that it is de
sirably.
‘After the fourth of March ther«j
will be a man in the White House
who is himself competent to pass up
on legislation without any education
i trom congress. President Taft now
1 says he must be convinced of tbe de
sirability.
"This commerce court is un-Ameri
can unu 1 belicv*- the sentiment oi tbe
country is in :’avor of uo abolish
ment."
Rep. Gilletl defe.vkd Taft. He
ohurges the Democrat* with deliber
ately blocking adjournment of con
gress b > trying to pass legislation
they knew would be vetoed
President Taft will not veto the
Panama canal bill. It was learned at
the White House today, although the
measure is not entirely to his liking
The president thinks that congress
should hav? made it plain that the
legislation is not intended in any way
as a repeal of the Hay Pauncefote
'treaty However, owing to the late
nesj“T)f the session and the fact that
I there is pressing need for the Panama
bill to become law and at once, so th-*
engineers can plan their operating or
jgsnization. the president will sign the
I bill, but will probably send a bill to
congress pointing out his objections.
