is in possession of the Republicans and
tonight there are over 5000 strangers

Richard C. Kerens. the contestants fer
the state Craftsmanship. and their fol-
lowers who will conduct the campaign
tomorrow when the convention meets ara
here and tonight both delegations held
caucuses to lay out the programme fer
tomorrow when the battle for control Of
the state organization will begin. The
Filley delegation came in from St Louis
900 strong tonight and made a parade CT
the city.
The F'illeyites seem to have the best Of
the fight, for they have the temporary
chairman, Congressman Richard Bart
holdt, to preside at the morning session.
Both Sedalia and Jefferson City have
taken advantage of the occasion to LOBBY
on the capital removal proposition, and
each has established headquarters and
brought a delegation of fifty who are
hard at work. The election of delegates
to the national convention seems tonight
to have been entirely overshadowed by
the fight between Filley and Kerens to
control the state organization.

of Montgomery county in the court
house here yesterday. No one heard
him who doubted his firmness of

his executive ability; no one who heard
him, Democrat, Populist or Republi-

that he was the man who should fill
the Gubernatorial chair of North Caro-

For an hour and fifty minutes he
ably and comprehensively discussed

Chairman Jones' Eastern Mission Said
at Chicago to be Financial One.
Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. ga story is
afioat here that the Democratic COM
mittee is in close financial straits, and
that Senator Jones' Eastern mission
is a financial one. The committee has
been careful of expenditures, and has
given out intimations from time TO
time that the campaign subscriptions
had not 1naterialized. Whenever as
signments have beenmade of campaign
speakers, the local committee has
been asked to pay the expenses, Much
of the literature sent out up to this
time has been under Congressional
frank.
But tonight stories of the commit
tees poverty assumed a serious phase.
1t is said the committee has a host of
unpaid bills, and that Senator Jones
has decided unless funds are forth
coming at once to dispense with many
features of the management. The
Senator is reported to have said that
he would not assume the responsibility
of running the National Democratic
committee further in debt without
some assurance that the bills could be
met.
Il. w. Barrett, who was brought here
from Washington a few days ago to
take charge of the literary bureau,
has been occupied since his arrival in
canceling contracts made by his pre-
decessor, f. II. Adams.
