That the so-called Citizens' League,

with the regular democrats in Jack

Whereas, there appeared in a re

For the .reasons as stated in said
publication that "the old parties have
got so far from, base that thoy .per

color their ideals, tho straight think

And, whereas, this so-called

Now, therefore, we as democrats,
constituting the regular democratic
organization of Jackson county, ut

party movement, and pledge our sup

pecially to that stalwart, splendid
and magnificent democrat, tho Hon

the same. And wa call upon every
domocrat who appears to have sub

ials came to an cud at noon today
without having produced any com
promise on tho German reparations
question acceptable to both tho Brit
ish and- French representatives ac
cording to advices reaching French
official circles this aTternoon.
Sir John Bradbury and Eugene
Maucklcrc, wero expected to arrive
in Paris tomorrow. Tho French for
eign office learned that new pro
posals were submitted by the Ger
mans, but they wero not considered
important enough to warrant tho
mission's remaining In Berlin longer.
The reparations cam mission's repre

Paris.
It now Is believed tho reparations
coumtisKlon will hold a special meet
ing Monday or Tuesday at which it
will try finally to dispose of the ques
tion of granting a moratorium to
Germany.
If tho last mlnuto guaranties of

unsatisfactory as previous proposals,
the British nre expected to try to
postpone action by the commission
In order to delay the carrying out of
penalties independently by France,
with the hope that some way out
of the difficulty may bo found.
There was much speculation today
as to what form the French penal
ties If carried out , would tako.
It was suggested by some observ
ers that Premier Polncaro may delay
the proposed penalties until the re
