SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-Lillie Bay
er, one of the women who claims to be
the lawful wife of the late Senator James
G. Fair, is now prisoner at San Quen
tin, where she will serve term OF ten
years for embezzlement. The life story
of Lille Bayer is remarkable one in
many respects. Soon after the death OF
Senator Fair she announced that she
had been married to the millionaire in 1892
and that one son was tire result Of the
union. She asserts positively that she
has papers in her possession which will
prove her claims and she says further
that the senator decided to her a ranch in
this state, the revenues of which we're de-
voted to the rearing and education of the
boy. Of the charge of embezzlement on
which she was convicted the woman
claims that she has been grossly n isrep-
resented and attributes her present sad
plight and delay before being tried TO the
effurts OF those who were anxious to have
her out of the way.

THE BAY STATE DEMOCRATS
The Platform Outlined and the Ticket Is
Named
Prescription to Be Denounced and the Demo-
cratic Tariff Reform Policy to
Be Commended

WORCESTER, Mass, Oct. 1.-The Bay
State house teemei from basement to
roof with Democratic politicians tonight.
Midnight had long passed with the lead
ers still wrestling with the planks OF to-
morrow's platform. The ticket that will
be presented at the convention in Me-
cbanics' hall TOMORROW will be as fol-
lows:
For governor, George Frederick Will
liams.
For lieutenant governor, Charles H..
Spellman of Springfield. or J. ". Hull oil
Pittstield.
For secretary of state, Edward flynn
of Boston.
For auditor. Captain Alfred q. Whit
ney of Boston.
For treasurer. James s. Grinnell OF
Greenfield.
For encouragement. Henry L. Hurl-
burt OF Lynn.
The resolutions will be in charge of ex-
Mayor CoughIin of Fall River. The plat
form will make little of the tariff as an
issue, claiming that the present state OF
business lhroug hout the country is full
justification for the Democratic tariff re-
form policy.
The a. r. A. may not be mentioned by
name, but prescription will be denounced
in the strongest terms. National issues
will be largely avoided and state ques-
tions, particularly the lobby, will claim
tn o larger share of attention.
