An Analysis of the Measure and
The Results Expected From
Its Passage.
In order that there might
'he a clear and fair under
standing of liquor conditions
(in Washington, and that both
isides of the question involved
jin the proposed excise law
may be fairly stated, The
'Times printed yesterday the
lopinions of the liquor inter
ests as gathered from inter
Iviews with a number of men
imost intimately connected
with the business and most
'directly concerned in the de
jfeat of the bill now before
lOongress.
Today it prints the argu
ments presented in support of
jthe bill as' gained by careful
interviews with its advo
cates. Wrjat the Interviews Developed.
Strict but reasonable regulation under
,a, license system and not prohibition.
TiiJr recitation In reasonable ,btica.uee t
'proteotf residence districts, prohibits an
excessive number of saloons, safeguards
Bchool and church property and those
who use this property, prohibits the
pseudo-hotel, prohibits "blind tigers"
arid "boot-legging," makes the misrep
resentation of his ago by a minor a
misdemeanor and lessens the hours of
llabor for those employed In saloons.
The regulation Is virile and enforcable
because of the great discretionary pow
er given the excise board under the
proposed law, and because the proof of
'the possession of a Government license
i in conjunction with the "search and
seizure" clause makes It possible to pro
tect the legitimate license holder against
against the "blind tiger."
The proposed law compares favor
ably with laws In other States havlns
Uhe license system; Is not oppressive
upon the saloon keeper who wishes to
conduct a respectable place, neither de
structive of his rights nor a menace to
the community.
Its construction' and representation as
a law that Is either prohibitory or op
pressive la for the purpose of arousing
the opposition of those who would favor
reasonable regulation of the liquor truf
fle, and is done by those who are op
fiosed to being made amenable to any
aw or subject to any restrictions.
Such Is the summary of the bill of
particulars filed by the supporters of
the measure providing for a new law
governing the sale of liquor In iho Dis
trict of Columbia In favor of the meas
ure and against those who are opposing
its passage.
Any Bill Would Be Opposed.
Partisans of the bill express no sur
prise over the dogree or character of
the opposition to the new excise pro
visions. They say any bill which they
might have framed would have met
with exactly the same opposition, as the
arguments advanced against It are the
stock In trade of the liquor Interests
the country over, whenever any regu
lative legislation is proposed, be that
legislation moderato or radical In Its '
nature.
Having all this In mind the framers
of the bill say they went about to draft
a measure that would give the District
a regulatory law In harmony with the
best license systoms in the nation, and
as productive of as good conditions in
connection with the sale of liquors us
can be found anywhere
A general denial is enteied to the con
tention that the bill virtually means
prohibition. Those fathering the meas
ure do not deny they would like to see
prohibition in the District, but the
admit it Id Impossible to got such legis

Twenty-one Delegates Will
Vote for Roosevelt on
First Ballot.
WASHINGTON STATE
HAS BIG MAJORITY
Primaries Thus Far Reported Arc
8 to 1 Against President
Taft.
By JUDS0N C. WELLIVER.
That Colonel Roosevelt will havo
the Bupport, on tho first ballot, of
twenty-ono of the delegates from
New York, and that the number may
bo much larger than this, is tho
positive statement from Rooaovelt
headquarters today.
Both sides havo been devoting
considerable attention recently to
tho Empire Stato delegation. It has
become critical, so far as Taft 1b
concerned, since ho suffered defeat
in Massachusetts. He must hold tho
solid New York support in order to
havo justification for going into the
convention at all, for everybody is
agreed that unless ho can bo nomi
nated on first ballot, his chance Ib
gone.
Senator Dixon, the Roosevelt man
agor, has been reticent about tho
New York delegation. Ho has re
peatedly refused to make claims or
statements. Not until it was pos
sible, with absolute knowledge, to
Bay what he would obtain, has he
been willing to Bay a word about the
Stato. .. $ i.,$
Turn to Colonel.
iiic umiuunccmeni, tuerciorc, or a
minimum of twenty-ono voUs for
Hoosevelt is equivalent In all practical
effect to taking a good-sired State delti
yatlon and transferring it bodily to
Colonel (Roosevelt.
Washington State, according to ad
vices today, has practically completed
Ha transit into a secure plac In tho
Roosevelt column. Tho primary In Spo
kane county, including tho city of Spo
kane, was held yesterday. The county
went for Roosevelt by a majority of
eight to one. Seattle (King county) had
already lined up for the former Presi
dent, and the delegate showing today
gives Taft 91 to Roosevelt's 211 delegates
In the State convention. He needs only
about 250 to control.
The Taft panic about Maryland be
came acute today, when Manager Mc-
Klnley hurried to the whlto House to
ilnslst that the President hasten Into
the Stato and try to overcome the
Roosevelt landslip that is reported
from all sections. The gravity of the
.situation for Mr. Taft was accentuated
When the news came that the general
conference of the colored Methodist
Church at Charlotte N. C, has adopted
a resolution declaring that Roosevelt
ought to be nominated at Chicago. The
colored vole is an Important factor in
Maryland, and this expression is cer
tain to strengthen its already decided
movement toward Roosevelt.
Wire Senator Dixon.
Announcement of the Charlotte confer
ence action came to Senator Dixon in
a telegram this morning, as follows:
CHARLOTTE, N. C, May 3. Senator
Dixon, Chairman, Roosevelt Head
quarters, Washington, D. C, Munfcey
Building The general conference of the
A. M. E. ZIon Church which convened
in quadrennial session In this city yes
terday, with delegates from all parts
of the United States, Africa, and the
West Indies, upon a test of the Roose
vent and Taft support, showed nine
tenths of the body In favor of Colonel
Roosevelt. More than two hundred of
the body have authorized their open en
dorsement of Mr. Roosevelt's candi
dacy under the following statement:
"We, tho undersigned delegates to me
General Conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal Zlon Church, desire
bv this method to make It publicly
known that wo heartily endorse tho
candidacy and favor the nomination ot
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt for the
Presidency at the approaching National
Republican Convention to be held at
Chicago in June next. Wo are led to
this desire because Mr. Roosevelt, whon
he was President, declared that he did
not believe that the Door of Hope
Hhould be closed to us; and, further,
that he bolleved In the doctrine of 'All
Men Up and No Mun Down.' In many
other ways he t.hwed that he believed
in the full recoy .ll"ii of merit and
manhood in American citizenship, with
out distinction of class, race, creed,
caste or condition. Wo sincerely trust
that the Republican party, yielding to
the dictat cof popular demand, will see

Fighting on New Lines But for Old
PrinciplePeople's Right to Rule!"
The issues are new, and the means of meeting them are new;
but the principles are old.
We are standing on the right of people to rule themselves.
We stand for the basic principles of American life.
You cannot decide against us, if you believe in the great prin
ciples of democracy.
I would rather have the impulsive judgment of the people than
the deliberate judgment of the bosses.
Every stand-patter will give lip loyalty to those principles on
the Fourth of July. We stand for them, not only on the Fourth of
July, but on election day, when the legislature meets, and when
Congress meets.
I am against the man who stands for an alliance between
crooked business and crooked politics. I am against the little
crook and the big crook.
From Roosevelt's Maryland Speeches.
HIGHEST PRICE 11
BUTTER PREDICTED
FOR COWING YEAR
Already There Is a Shortage
When Commodity Should
Be Plentiful.
That the highest figure reached in tho
retail price of butter in Washington, CO
cents per pound, last winter, Is to be
exceeded by at least 15 cents per pound
next winter. Is tho prediction made by
prominent butter men In Washington
today.
Tho wholesale price of tub butter to
day l9iS3 cents, against 25 cents at a
corresponding week last year. During
the first week In May In 1910 butter was
32 cents per pound at wholesale, while
In 1903 It was SO cents.
Best butter Is retailing at 40 cents to
day at most stands. It is pointed out
that there Is practically no. butter hi
storage at this time, and that storing It
at present prices Is bound to make It
brln gan enormous price next winter.
There now Is an absolute shortago In
the butter supply, dealers say. when It
should be the most plentiful on account
of the opening of spring pastures.
Other dealers claim that the shortage
Is only apparent, and that It Is brought
about by the large storage concerns,
who are greedilv buying It up even at
tho present figures. In hope of "holding
up the consumer" next winter to make
the profit.
Advices from New York city and other
storage centers Indicate that the buy
ing of butter for storing Is active.

CALLS PRESIDENT
POOR POLITICIAN
Former Canadian Minister Says
Taft Tried To Change
Roosevelt's Mind.
LONDON, May 3. "President Taft la
a politician, and a poor one, I think,"
was the statement made today by Sir
Frederick W. Bordln, former Canadian'
minister of the mllltla, when usked to
comment upon the publication of Mr.
Taft's letter to Col. Theodore Roose
elt, disclosing the President's views
that reciprocity between the United
States and Canada would eventually
make the Dominion an adjunct to the
United States.
"It Is obvious," continued Sir Fred
erick, "that President Taft was trying
to persuade Colonel Roosavolt to his
way of thinking. He was doing h!o
utmost to carry nls point."

probably tho largest political gathering in tho history of the city, and
gave a strenuous summary of the platform upon which ho is asking for

And all tho Eastern Shqro heard him. From tho lower counties in
Delaware to the Virginia line they came.
Men prominent in both great political parties stood in tho hot sun,
packed into a mass of sweltering humanity, and cheered to the echo tho
utterances of Colonel Roosevelt. '
Colonel Roosevelt received a reception that surprised even his ad
vocates. Right in the heart of tho Taft stronghold on tho Eastern Shore
he received tho tribute and promises of support from men whose word
means much in Republican politics.
Salisbury is Roosevelt-mad, as mad as a thoroughly Democratic

Mr. Roosevelt's advent Into Maryland
was a flattering one. Striking first
what is considered a most hostile tcr
iltory, he swept before him many o
the barriers to Roosevelt success on
the Eastern Shore.
Only the tegular oiganlzatlon Re
publican leaders refused to do him ho
mage, und many of their standbys so
forgot thcmsolvcs to crowd close to tho
rreaUors,, stand and cheer the words of
CUr. House velt.
Rtgular Taft lenders did not take
jiart in the we:omo which Salisbury
extended to the candidate, but all tho
lett of Salisbury did, and it was joined
by all the Eastern Shore counties.
It Is the one bi? day of the campaign
hole, and when tho day closes It nlll

fact that the first time In Its history
Salisbury has entertained a former
