"Woodrow Wilson is the only aspir ant for the democratic nomination for president whose candidacy la of a national character," said Chairman Chas, Heffner of the democratic state central committee last night In discussing the presidential nominees. Mr. Heffner Is on his way from an ex tended visit to New York city to his home in Seattle, and reached hero yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. "The democrats of Florida, Wash ineton. Maine and California favor Wilson. Champ Clark's territory is confined to Missouri and nearby states, while Governor Harmon can not at present be considered as an opponent against Wilson. "Wilson's enemies claim he is not a practical man. He demonstrated he was a practical and constructive statesman before he' had been gover nor of New Jersey for sixty days, by puitlng many new laws on the books which that state sadly needed, there fore returning the government of that state back into the hands of the peo ple. Outside of New Jersey, Wilson made many friends by reg'ulating the large storage houses in which the per ishable foods destined for New York markets are kept. These plants, just across the river from New York city, but in New Jersey, have for years kept eggs, meats, etc., in cold storage for periods ranging from six months to a year, then turning them into the metropolitan market. By stopping this procedure, ho has won the friendship of the poor man of New York. "The college element is also strong-K- in favor of Wilson. For years he was professor of political economy In Princeton university and Is thor oughly familiar with legislation and governmental needs. There are over 300 clubs in different colleges in the nation which endorse his candidacy and as many of the men are of vot ing age, this will be one of Wilson's strongest assets. "Here in Washington, Wilson at the present time, could defeat any other democrat In the field for the nomination, though It Is not possible to foretell who may come to the front before the national convention in June. "In regard to "Bill" Dunphy's chances for the democratic nomin4 tion for governor In this state. I think he has a good show of securing It." Mr. Heffner Is handling Woodrow Wilson's campaign west of the Mis sissippi, and he stated that the west was practically solid for that candidate. Total income DISBURSEMENTS.

GAS RAGS OX RIPLANES ARE LATEST INVENTION San Francisco In a system of gas bags attached to the upper and lower planes of a biplane, Anwyl o. Gard iner of Oakland claims to have an in vention that wilj be generally used by aviators within the next few years. He has been granted a patent. The invention provides for boat shaped frames thai re attached to either end of the upper and lower planes, and contained within these frames are gas bags of similar shape. These latter sustain a considerable portion of the weight of the machine and also make it possible for the av iator to alight on the water and re main indefinitely. The inventor claims that these de vices also tend to counteract the In fluence of sudden- guests of wind and thus steady the crait in flight. The lower gas bags are capable of being adjusted at any nevessary angle to act as hydroplanes and permit travel on the ocean or other bodies of water. Church of Uio Redeemer.

JUDGE USES SOLOMON'S RILE OF REASON IN A DIVORCE iiouisviiie, Ky. Solomons rule of reason has been invoked in divorce cuuri nere in unraveling a knot of conllicting evidence when John and Margaret Wetzelberger, who had liv ed together thirty-five years and rear ed a dozen children, both applied for a divorce. All the girls in the family alligned themselves on the side of their mo ther. The boys were divided. In granting a decree to Mrs. Wetzel berger the court said it was his op inion that "daughters, as a 'rule, have a better opportunity to know the condition in a family," and he deemed it inconsistent with the wo man's long years of faithfulness in rearing the large family to needless ly abandon her husband, as charged, or to falsely accuse him of cruelty.
