RUMORED REVOLT IS ENTIRELY
WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
HAS NO PERSONAL OPPOSITION
CMPLIMENTARY NOMINATION FOR
RICHARD c. kERENs.
Found No Necessity for Their
Presence-An Harmony In
the Republican
Ranks.

JEFFERSON CITY, MO-. Jan. 15.-(Spe-
cial) The proclamation of Republican re-
volt against Richard C. Kerens, which has
BUSINESS by the Democratic press of Mis-
souri,. has not deceived anyone at Jeffer-
son City. The motive for the clamor was
too plain and the slight foundation on
which the story of detection was built
caused it to pass unheeded by the legis-
lators who had Mr.. Kerens In mind for
the complimentary Republican nomination
for United States senator. Outside of the
Capital city. however, there seems to have
been some of Mr.. Kerens' friends who
were perturbed by the reports that the st.
Louis man stood a chance of defeat. They
reasoned that the colonel's interest should
be looked after by his friends. Colonel
Schaurte. of st. Louis, was the first man
to arrive. His alarm, IL he had any. was
soon dispelled. Then came George Baer
and Sam Scott. of Kansas City. and Oscar
Sessinghaus, of st. Louis. They came ex-
pecting to work, but they found no ne
cessity for II. A canvas was made OF the
Republican members and 1t was found that
there was no personal opposition to Mr..
kerens and that those who had some other
personal choice numbered fewer than a
dozen. 1t is claimed tonight that there
will not be more than five votes to be
counted against Mr.. Kerens In the caucus.
and 1t can easily be imagined that Mr..
Kerens may yet be rendered the compli-
ment by exclamation.
W. K. Amick, OF st. Joseph, will prob
ably make the nominating speech at the
caucus tomorrow night. There is no can
didate beside Mr.. Kerens, for, although ex-
Senator Kennish's name may go before the
caucus. it will be without authority from
the former able senator from Holt. II he
it Is predicted that he will send q telegram
to the caucus declining to be considered
a candidate. Mr.. kennish was here a few
days ago. At that time he laughed at the
idea that he should be considered a candi-
date and treated the matter as a joke.
Representative Samuel O'Fallon, Of Holt.
Is probably as close to Senator Kennish as
Is any one. He said tonight: III Mr.. Ken
nish were a candidate he would have noti-
fled me of the fact, but have not heard
a word from him on the subject. don't
think his name will go before the caucus.
No one can have any authority to place
him in nomination. I know that he does
not care for the honor, for he told me SO.
If he be placed in nomination, Of course
shall vote for him. Otherwise I am for
Kerens.
..If Mr.. Kennish were candidate I
would be working for him. But as 1t Is.
am doing nothing. I shall not place him
in nomination. OF course Mr.. kerens will
win by a big majority.

Contest In Both Houses Threatens to
BE Bitter and Long Dead.

CHARLESTON. W. VA, Jan. 15.-The
legislature has been in session four days
the past week without doing anything. This
general deadlock is due to the senatorial
contest and 1t will continue all this week.
The Democrats hold their senatorial caucus
on Wednesday night, and the Republicans
on Thursday night. but the balloting in
the joint session does not begin till next
week, Monday. January %. On the cer-
tificates of election the Republicans have a
bare majority on joint ballot for senator.
The senate is Republican and the house
Democratic, SO that in unseating minority
members In either body both parties have
opportunities for retaliation and this con-
dition is what prevents both bodies from
proceeding with business. The house yes
terday failed on its first contested seat case
because two Democratic members refused
to vote and another was paired with
Republican. but it is thought tonight that
Rosan Democrat. will be gwen the seat OF

AS TO IT'S LEGALITY.
Attorney General GODDARD May Not
Render Decision-May Go to
Cnurf

TOPEKA, Jan. 15.-(Special) Attorney
General GODDARD may not render an opin-
ion as to the legality of the extra session
of the legislature. There is talk of ex-
State Treasurer Hefebower bringing man
damus proceedings in the supreme court
to require Auditor Cole to give him credit
for 5000 worth of extra session warrants
paid just before the Inauguration. If this
is done, the question will come up imme-
diately and Mr.. GODDARD feels that if the
court is to get whack at the question
right away 1t would not be necessary for
him to render an opinion. Mr.. Heflebower
and Treasurer Grimes are on friendly
terms, notwithstanding the fact that they
can't get together on the extra session
warrants. Grimes doesn't want to receipt
for a lawsuit and in this he is not blamed
by his predecessor.

Fight Over Location OF County Seat
of Labette VIII Not
Come Up.
TOPEKA. Jan. 15.-(special) The old
county seat fight between Oswego and
Parsons will not come up at this, session Of
the legislature, as was expected. The re-
suit of the November election settled that
for the present. 1t was generally UNDER
stood that if the Pops controlled the legis-
lature this time an effort would be
made to push through a bill changing the
county seat of Labette county from Os-
wego to Parsons. That was the issue In
that county last fall. The Pops in the
Parsons district elected their representa-
tive on it, but the Republicans carried the
other district. Then the Republicans car,
ried the legislature and the governor. and
for this reason the fight had to be aband-
oned. The plan as mapped out was to
change the county seat by legislative en-
actment and not even permit the people
of the county to vote on the proposition.

mining. The miners of that district wanted
Ed Weilep to get some legislation through
tending to better their condition, but as he
was mine owner. and hobnobbed with all
the big mine owners. he refused to do SO.
He claimed they did not want any legisla-
ton. Wheatley promised that IL elected he
would try to get bill through for their
benefit. and he hopes to succeed. In dis
cussing the features of the proposed bill,
Mr.. Wheatley said to-day:
-The lead and zinc miners of the Galena
district, at the last election, declared en-
phatically for laws regulating mining ope-
rations in that district. We now have no
laws that apply to lead and zinc mining,
but are governed entirely by the common
law Of mining. and by the general real
estate laws of our state.
For years the coal miners have met ev-
' cry legislature asking for laws and
changes in existing laws. They have been
given about all they asked for. and this
year they will again appear before the COM
mittees. by delegations. asking for changes

WEST BRATTLEBORO.

J. Il. Goodenough is spending the week
in New York.
Mrs. E. L. Bass of Randolph is the
guest of her parents for week.
Mrs. Mary Bigelow and son Hayes are
at home from Florida for the summer.
Dry weather is injuring the hay crop to
the extent that on naturally dry soils there
will be almost no crop. Although later
rains might help the potato and corn crops
the prospect is not encouraging.
Miss Mabel Goodenough graduated with
high honors at the state normal school yes
terday. She was assigned the class essay
and is considered one of the leading pupils
of her class. She will probably return
home today.
An effort is being made to start a band
here and the prospect seems very good.
There are several players here who for
merly played in the old band who, with
new players, might organize a good band
if sufficiently encouraged.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Moran, who have
been employed at the Miner hosiery fac
tory, have finished work there and re-
turned TO Laconia, n. II. Ed Wilson has
also finished work there. He will begin
work for DR.. Holton June 10.
The Baptist church is being newly
painted this week, making a great i'm
provement. Rev. Woods efforts to raise
sufficient funds to do this work were gen
erously responded to both in time and
money and Mr.. Wood also takes an active
part in the work.
The prospects are not very encouraging
for band concerts as yet, although Super
intendent Jones is confident that arrange
ments can be made. The band refuse to
give concerts unless the whole band is
hired, which means the road would make
nothing for the extra use OF the cars above
the actual expense of running them. Sew
eral societies who found the sale OF ice
cream at the concerts last season quite
profitable have made applications for the
privilege this year.
