TARIFF REVISION BEGINS
EARLY IN JAHUARI
Democrats Bound to Make Good
Promises of Downward Revision.
England Objects to Free
Use of Panama Canal
for Am-Coastwise
Trade.
Washington, D. C., Dec, 10.-The first
step toward tariff revision was the
announcement of the Democrats that
hearings on this subject would begin
early in January. This brought pro.
tests from numerous manufacturers
against reduction on their articles.
This was expected, but prominent
democrats point to the substantial ma.
jorities given the party in many manu.
facturing sections and declare that the
demand of the people for downward re
vision will be met. Mr. Wilson, too, has
made it as emphatic as he could that
there will be nointerference on his part
with the work of the next Congress.
Washington is excited over plans for
the inauguration. That event is one of
great importance to residents of the
National Capital.

the free use of the Panama Canal by

d Tuesday's Election Resulted in the
Election of Three of the Peoples'
and Twoof Jennings' Candidates
Tuesday marked the culmination of
one of the hardest fought and most
enthusiastic campaigns that this sec.
t tion of the state has experienced in
e many years, the election of the first
t parish officials for the parish of Jeffer.
n son Davis. While there were many
candidates in the field for the several
s offices, there were two distinct line.bps.
the ticket endorsed by Jennings and
t supported by her allies, and the ticket
endorsed by Welsh and supported, in
" the main by the country districts.
While there was a heavy vote polled,
there being something like 1300 votes
cast, it lacked several hundred votes of
being the full voting strength of the
parish, as demonstrated at the last
parish seat election.
The indications are that the ticket
supported by Welsh and the country
precincts succeeded in electing three of
the five parish officials, while Jen.
nings w a s able to pull through
two of her favorites. According to
the best information at hand at this
time Mr. Jos. F. Fuseller was elected
Sheriff; Mr. I. R. Price, Clerk of Court;
and Mr. R. P. Howell, Representative,
from the People's Ticket; while Mr. L.
L. Richard was elected Assessor, and
Dr. Morgan Smith Coroner, on the
Jennings ticket.
One hundred and seventy-three votes
were cast at the Welsh box, not includ.
ing a few spoilt ones. Of these the
several candidates were remembered I
by the voters as follows: For Repre.
