WOODSON
TO RESIST
Action of The State Convention
In Removing
Him.
New York, Sept. 3. Urey Wood
son, of Owcnsboro, gave out. the fol
lowing statement on the actloh of
the Democratic state convention (n
attempting to unseat him as the
Kentucky member of the Democrat
ic Natfonal committee:
"lean only deplore, with other
Democrats of Kentucky, the unseem
ly action of the state convention at
the midnight hour, in undortaking
to depose, by snap action, m a viva
voce vote, certain committeemen of
the organization, good and loyal
Democrats, whose only offense was
that they voted for other candidates
than some of the successful ones In
the primary.
"So far as I am advised, not one
of these men had failed to express
hearty acquiescence in the r suit of
the primary. So for myself, the
threat to give to anomer, in ine
midst of my term, the seat I hold on
the Democratic National committee
(a position to which I have been five
times elected in the past nineteen
years) does not disturb me in the
slightest. I was last elected to this
position by the unanimous vote of
the state central and executive com
mittees in September, 1914, to fill
the unexpired term of Mr. Mayo,
deceased. This term w.ll expire at
the time of holding the next Demo
cratic National convention, probably
in July, 1916, and I will, if 1 live, be
the Kentucky member of the Na
tional committee until that time.
The fact of my election to this un
expired term wa3 certified a year
ago by the chairman and secretary
of the state committ-e to the na
tional committee. The na'ional
committee has for many years uni-
firmly r fused to unseat any of its
members, whj were duly elected,
because of subsequent factional
party differences in their states,
notably in the cases of Guffey, of
Pennsylvania, and Mountcastle, of
Tennessee, m lyiz.
Suspicious Characters.
At a staticn In northern Pennsylva
nia a number of young ministers, pro
ceeding to a religious conforenco in
Philadelphia, boarded a coach where
in there was a dilapidated young
woman smelling of beer. For somo
time the young men in black garb con
versed gravely on conference affairs,
while the beery young woman nodded
In her corner.
Tho train approached a long tunnel.
The. young woman roused herself. She
pinned back lazily a long strand of
hair that had fallen on her shoulder,
and fixed her gaze upon the ministers.
Then she produced from her basket a
hugo bread knlfo. Making a few un
steady lunges In tho air with this Im
plement, she addressed the reverend
gentlemen thus;
"Don't nono of you Tboys try no
tricks on me in the tunnel, or, mark
my words, I'll open ye!" Everybody's
Magazine.
Our Contagious Accent.
"Speaking with a strong American
accent," a navy man has returned as
a deserter for service here after seven
years across the Atlantic. Seven
years t Why seven weeks will do tho
trick. What Is known as the "Ameri
can accout" and It differs as widely
as the American continent Is the
most Infectious In the world. A couplo
of months, as I know personally, Is
sufficient to alter the pitch of voice,
and no man ccmes back from Amorica
without being detected in his speech,
which has unconsciously caught the
pitch. lie gets over It In tlmo. But
Britain has never succeeded in Impos
ing its lingual pitch on America.

Yet, only a few centuries ago, Cam

to make him retract his assertion that
tho number of stars Is Infinite. In
those days it was a crime to bellevo

with age and threatened with torture,
