WATSON'S 'SLATEST
Wants His Name Withdrawn
From Straight Pop Ticket
And Placed Only on Middle of
the Road Ticket.
CAN THIS BE DONE.
1t Is Maintained That This Is
an ImpOssibility.
Chairman Breidenthal Saws He
Disbelieves the Story.

Kansas City, Oct 1.-THE Journal
this morning prints the following un-
der Thomson, Ga, date.
Thomas z. Watson yesterday for
warded papers to Kansas notifying the
secretary of state to take his name as
nominee for vice president from the
head Of the Populist ticket. The nee
essary affidavit in due form authOriz-
ing the withdrawal from that ticket,
accompanied the other papers.
This is the first step taken by Mr..
Watson since his recent visit to Kan
sas to thwart the efforts of fusion en-
tered into there with the Democrats
When Mr.. Watson determined upon
this plan he wired to the middle of the
road Popuhsts committee of Kansas
for information as to how ne should
proceed under the Kansas election laws
TO have his name Withdrawn. He re-
ceiVed full instructions by wire yester-
day together with the form of an affi-
davit necessary, and upon the receipt
of the same filled out the papers, drew
UP the affidavit, ,swore to it before a no
tary public and sent them by register
ed letter to the secretary of state at
Topeka to be filed. The WithdraW wal Of
Mr.. WatsOn's name viii leave the fus-
iOnistS in a dilemma. They Will either
have to insert the name OF SeWall, tn G
Democratic nominee, or leave the vice
presidential office blank on the Populist
ticket This viii cause much embar
rassment.
Mr.. Watson's name will appear only
once on the official ballot in Kansas
and that viii be at the head of the mid
die of the road POpulist ticket.

MIDDLE-ROA-1 EIFCTORs.
State Contest Board l. ~ the Case
Between the POpdiists.

Between the EOpdiists-
The board for hearing contests over
nominations for state and district Off
ces, consisting of the attorney general,
secretary of state and state auditor,
convened this morning and heard the
contest between the Peoples Party and
the Middle Of the Road Populists over
electors The board said they would
take both contests together. Mr.. Glenn
ems objected to both cases being taken
up together. And the board said it
would take them up separately.
The board then took UP the protest of
NJ. Clemens to the middle of the road
electors being placed on the ticket.
Mr.. Clemens said that he had invest
igated the law on the subject and was
convinced that the board could not go
into the question of fraud and cited
several cases in other states where the
courts had decided with him. He said
that this only left the question as to
whether there were sufficient authentic
names on the petitions for nomination.
When Mr. Clemens first fled his pro-
test ne did not think that the middle OF
the road people might file a counter
protest and charge fraud.
The middle of the road men charge
made py the Abilene convention are
fraud On the voters because they make
the inference that the electors are Pop
uists when in fact they are Democrats.
The entire morning was taken up with
the argument of the legal proposition
as to the power of the board.
Just before adjOurning for noon Mr.
Clemens asked the board to call on
John R. AIulvane and L. NJ. Crawford
TO come before them and testify. The
board refused to call the witnesses ask
ed for on the ground that they had no
authority to do so. They said that any
anv one that would come voluntarily
before the board could testify but that
the board had no power to compel the
attenance of witnesses.
1t is supposed that Mr. Clemens want
ed to show that the opera house which
was rented for yesterday for Watson
to speak in was paid for by the Repub-
can state central committee.
The board then adjourned and will
be in session again late this afternoon.
This afternoon when the contest
board convened quite a little time was
spent in wrangling as to what evidence
could be introduced. When this was
settled the board called on Mr.. Clemens
to produce his evidence and asked that
A. B. Cuinton, one of the attorneys for
the middle of the road crowd, be sworn.
Air. Quint0n said that he was Re
publican IN politics.
Clemens handed him one of the peti-
tions that was circulated ia Topeka and
pufported to be signed by Populists and
asked him if he knew A. A. Rodgers,
who lives at 500 Monroe street.

BREIDENTHAL'S COMMENT.
Chairman RraidanthaI said todav

Chairman Breidenthal said today in
regard to the report above, that Wat
son had received instructions by wire
as to the manner in which to proceed
to withdraw his name from the ticket
in this state and that he had made out
the necessary papers and forwarded
them to the secretary Of state:
Il know nothing Of It, I have had no
communication with Watson on the
subject I heard that there was a re-
port that he had asked me to withdraw
his name from the head of the Peoples
Party ticket, but there is nothing in
that report He has not done So
DO you think that he will take any
such action?"
Il do not. Until have positive as
surance to the contrary L will not be
lieve that MI Watson will stultify
himself by playing into the hands OF
the opposition, the Republican party.
the enemy of mankind and good gov
erl2Tnent and the POpulist party He
certainly knows by this time that the
campaign being carried on in this state
by the middle of the road crowd is be-
ing paid for with Republican money,
and can't believe that he will lend his
aid to help defeat the cause of man
kind and the POpulist party. No party
has nominated any of the candidates
for president or vice president for any
office in this state They have nOmi-
mated electors and the votes are cast
for the electors and not for the candi-
dates The names of the candidates
are simply placed over the names of
the electors on the ticket. I know moth
ing of the matter, whatever"
Although Mr.. Breidenthal did not say
so. the conclusion drawn from his last
remarks is that Mr.. Watson cannot
withdraw his name, even if he so de-
sires.

letter to him was the WaV.

Death of Mother Harriet.

NEW YORK, April 7.-Mother Harriet,
founder of the high Anglican Order of St.
Mary, died yesterday at Peekskill, at the
mother house of the Order of st. Gabriels,
aged a. Her name in the world was Har-
riet Starr Cannon. When she was quite
young she was left an orphan with an
ample fortune. In 1865, with four devoted
friends, she started the Order of St. Mary
of the Protestant Episcopal church under
the sanctuary of the late bishop of New
York Horatio @. Potter. From this
nucleus grew the large Anglican Order OF
St Mary now scattered throughout the
United States.

GET WELL & STAY WELL
Get Rid of What Makes You
Sick and Stay Rid of Ii.

It is so simple to be well that we wonder
why there are SO many sick people.
Come TO think about it, must be because
they don't know what's made them sick
If they knew that, they could prevent It,,
and when they were sick, in some cases cure
themselves. But, so long as we don't take
more care of our health, we shall always be
more or less sick
The simple rules of health are: Keep
clean, take exercise, eat good food, scour out
your stomach.
This last means Don't tolerate indi-
gestion. Cure it with Shaker Digestive
Cordial A stomach full of undigested,
fermented, putrid food is the unhealthiest
thing you can think of.
Half our diseases and troubles come from
the posons of the undigested food. More
than half of them could be cured with
Shaker Digestive Cordial.
More than half because often when we
think we are sick we are only weak, and a
course of nourishing food digested without
effort by the stomach with the aid of Shak-
er Digested Cordial) would reinvigorate the
whole system and make us we'll.

TO EXPEL MISSIONARIES.

Another Turkish Trade Aimed at the Re-
lief Fund Agents.
LONDON, April 7.-The Daily News and
The Chronicle have report from Con-
stantinople, said to be on the best author
ity, that an imperial trade has decreed
the wholesale expulsion of all Christian
missionaries from Armenia who are
mainly French Catholics and American
Protestants. 1T Is still possible, " says this
report ''by immediate pressure to prevent
the execution of the decree, but no time is
to be lost"
The Daily News says in an editorial on
this matter "rhere is reason to believe
that the sultan has signed this decree, but
that it has not yet been issued. 1t is Lord
Salisbury's obvious duty to leave no dip
lomatic stone unturned to prevent the
threatened disaster. No doubt Mr.. Riddle
(the United States charge d affaires) will
act with energy"
The Chronicle thinks that the trade is
aimed at the agents of the relief fund, and
is due to the fact that the missionaries
gave publicity to the massacres The
Chronicle believes that Lord Salisbury
could count on French as well as Ameri-
can support in demanding the withdrawal
of the trade.

THE STONE BILL

THE COUNCIL DEADLOCK.

In another column will be found COM
muncation from prominent member Of the
Citizens party, who asks several pertinent
questions bearing on the deadlock in the
Borough Council over the election of IA sue
cessor to Oscar Betteridge as Water Superin
tendent. Our correspondent appears to be
in a cynical mood, or else his Judgment has
lost its cunning.
The Citizens party elected a majority of
the members Of Council, and the people de-
mand from them that they organize that
body from a Citizens standpoint, if possible
and without dctriment to the interests Of the
taxpayers. Personal interests, however
should be secondary to the public veal. The
public water works, a valuable plant that
has cost the taxpayers over $3.50, 900 to erect
is without an official head. Oscar Betteridge
is no longer Water superintendent; the
Borough Council is deadlocked on the elec-
ton of his successor, and the Water Com
mittee to whom is delegated the power to
appoint temporary, is in the same predica-
ment. This is state of affairs that should
not exist, to which every member Of Council
will agree. The selection of Water Superin-
tendent cannot be casscd with the election
of Town Clerk or policeman-the former
should be a man of more than ordinary
ability; he has it in his power to either
save or squander the peoples money, and
can make the plant paying investment or
white elephant" for the borough.
The necessity for immediate action in fill
ing the vacancy, therefore, will be readily
acknowledged. The only question is how
can the vacancy be filled and to whom is due
the responsibility for the deadlock Looking
at the matter from party standpoint, we
believe Councilman Gable is pursuing a wrong
course. As we have previously stated, the
Citizens party has right to expect, with
eight members in that body the control Of
the organization and selection of officers Of
Council. The Democrats concede this,
There are three candidates for the position
and the choice Of the seven Citizens mem
bers is,A. B. Lamb, with Mr., Gable voting
alons'fo Philip Gable. Conceding that both
men are competent for the position, it il
hardly reasonable, to say the least, to expec
seven men to acceded to the demands of one
The Citizens members are bound by tn,
caucus majority, and if Mr.. Lamb was con
sdered competent and worthy enough to re
ceiye the support of Mr. Gable and the
other six Citizens members last year, when he
was named for the position, surely there can
be no reasonable excuse offered for not Civ
ing him the same support this year
As matters stand now, Mr.. Gable is the
balance Of power in both Council and the
Water Committee. The people will demand
that the deadlock be broken and Superin
tendent be placed in charge of the waite
plant. There is too much at stake TO allow
matters to stand as they are. Whether tn,
Water Superintendent is to be Betteridge
Lamb or Gable is a question that needs solu
tion, and at once. 1t may be necessary t
ask the court to settle the dispute. Bette
