The event of the meeting was the
reading by Judge Willis OF the in
augural address of Thomas Jefferson,
/ which the judge referred to as not only

the English language and a demon

Today the headquarters of the Dem
ocratic state central committee will be
opened by Chairman Rosing in rooms
" and 70 at the Merchants hotel
Chairman RoSing anticipates that the

Lieut.. Lind will be in the state during
the campaign, and his wishes will be
regarded as to the opening Of the

date has suffered during his life in
camp, and he Is now suffering from
low fever contracted at Chickamauga.
He has not been i'll enough to seek to
leave his regiment, but the history Of
the sickness from which the soldiers
in camp have suffered shows that the
reaction is bad, and 1t Is probable that
Lieut.. Lind will fare as the rest Of
them did 1t is hoped that he will have
recovered entirely by the time he
reaches the state. Mr.. Rosing will NOT
map out the campaign until he has
conferred with Lieut.. Lind, now that
there is a certainty Of his return.
The chairman Will open the head
quarters at once. and during this week
it is expected that there will be many
of the leading Democrats in town. He
has made special arrangement with
the Merchants for their entertain
ment, and for the present will retain
only the two rooms indicated for head
Quarters-Nos 72 and 70.
The three Republican candidates for
the supreme bench, Judge Lovely,
Judge c. L. Lewis and Judge c. L.
Brown, were at the Windsor last night.
They happened in" and met quite
without previous arrangement, Judge
Lovely remarked in his blandest man
ner-and Judge Lovely can be quite
hlrNN7 ak Z Z. i 4
that all Of the candidates could be In
town tomorrow and their meeting
would be concerted. Judge Lovely was
wondering where the alleged circular
letter on the judgeships emanted from.
He and the other candidates all believe
that there never was such a letter sent
out, and are quite of a mind in be-
lieving that it had It's being only In
the inner consciousness Of the Jay
Jerry Judge Lovely was quite willing
to admit that he did not believe that
the Democrats had nothing to do with
1t and his colleagues agreed that he
was in no way to blame for It. They
all said that they had inquired with
much vigor for copy Of the circular
and had never met a man who received
one.
This evening there will be a meeting
OF the Republican state central commit
tee at the Windsor hotel. The meeting
Is called for the purpose Of making a
general plan of campaign and all OF
| the candidates will be present. The
| meeting is Of such Importance that
there is a flag of truce out In the
Fourth ward and the pursuit of prac-
| teal politics will be suspended in this
town for two hours, for this occasion
only.
The Lincoln club gave Henry Eustis
something Of a reception last night. Mr..
Eustis brought over with him his usual
forefront Of geniality, but it was in
some measure qualified to suit the o.
casion for he has been given to I'M
derstand that the members of the Lin
coin club are good Republicans, bur
that they as their opes." It had been
told him that anything in the way OF q
complimentary remark would imme-
diately be construed by the Lincoln
club as a promise Of appointment to
office by each OF the members, and he
was non-committal to a degree that
somewhat interfered with the festivl-
ties.
The rooms Of the club were quite fill
ed when Mr.. Eustis arrived. There
were present all of the active ward
politicians of the Republican party and
some members of the police force.
George Irish, Mr.. Ames, and nearly all
OF the court house deputies were pres
ent. Mr. Johnson, Of the Eighth ward; ;
Mr.. Donahower, Of the Fourth, and a
good many other leaders were absent
1t was a good thing In which not to
be mixed up and some of the candi-
dates knew 1t. The candidates for cleo
tive office, with the exception of Mr..
Arrol and a few other long shots,
avoided the meeting.
Mr.. Eustis made a speech. He was
very diplomatic. He told them how
glad he was to meet them all, and then
he launched into dissertation on the
need for just such Republican organi-
cation as the Lincoln club. He said that
the life Of the party depended on such
organizations, which might be depend
ed on to keep Republican ideas alive
when there was no campaign going on:
he would be much gratified If there
was a club on the same lines in every
hamlet In the state, and he trusted
that all of the members of the club
would give their best efforts to the
success of the ticket in the campaign
that was upon them.
The candidate met each of the mem
beTs and shook him fervently by the
hand and asked after his material well
fare and that of his family, and at
1915 it was all over. Mr.. Eustis had to
return to Minneapolis, and he thought
to get away from the club while it was
still in session. He did not, for the
club adjourned at once and he was es-
corted to his car by a large number
