JIM TAPP
ANNOUNCES HIMSELF FOR WILL
AYRES FOR CONGRESS-.
says He Is for Him First. Last and All
the Time.

Yesterday James W. Tapp announced
inee for congress of the Seventh district
1t was reported on the streets that Mr.
Tapp had declared himself for Ayres, and
a reporter for The Eagle sought him out
and asked him IL the report. were true.
He said: Eyes. it is true; I am for Will
Ayres for the nominee for congress, and
believe he viii, be nominated and elect
ed. lie is popular, able and clean, and
young, and will make fine canvass. The
men outside seem to concede the nomina-
ton to Sedgwick county. have had a
number OF letters to that effect"
Didn't those letters ask you to be a
candidate?" Mr. Tapp was asked.
Yes; I have received a good many let
ters Of that kind"
''Why do you refrain from getting into
the racer"
ooh. well. don't feel long enough"
said Mr. Tapp. raising his hand TO indi-
cate a man Of big stature. 81 am for VIII
Ayres first. last and all the time"
Mr.. Tapps announcement is looked upon
as marking a distinct step in the politics
fusion managers in Sedgwick county, and
particularly in the city of Wichita, when
they heard Taps political influence
preached were wont TO laugh Il off. Then
came the meeting between the Tapp
crowd. which a great many people did not
think existed. and the Young crowd, the
original fusion crowd Of the city. VIII
Ayres helped Tapp out, Tap was nomi-
mated, to the intense surprise of all the
young followers. His hard race for the
mayoralty afterward convinced his party
opponents that he did have a crowd which
was instinctively his own. and he is recog-
nlzed today as the strongest single indi-
vldual on the fusion side in Sedgwick
county.
County Attorney Samuel Amidon Is also
an aspirant for the fusion nominee for
congress but Tapp's announcement means
that IL Amidon wants the Sedgwick coun-
~ delegation he will have 10 fight for It.
and he viii have to put good deal strong
er fight than George Young did last spring.
VIII Ayres is looked upon as particularly
strong in the fusion forces. He has man.

you all again soon and will talk to you
then. He then stepped back into the car
and was met by Mayor Ross and a num-
Der of representative citizens who had
been invited to meet the distinguished
captain and his wife.
A reporter for the Eagle requested the
captain for few moments talk. and the
following interview took place:
Captain. have you ever heard from
Montijo since the time he left Manila?'
mo-" he said.
Have you any idea where he Is now?'
Eyes. Montijo is in Spain and, the last
I heard, was, a short time ago, being
tried by court-martial."
III Cervera's feet had intercepted the
Oregon of Brazil, what would have been
the result?"
81 can not answer that question" said
the captain. "I never believed that Ger
vera ever intended to intercept the Ore
gon."
'If Camara had continued to the Phil
ipplnes. as he threatened, how would Ad-
miral Dewey have met him?'
Now. that is a secret. That Is telling
secrets"
would Dewey have waited IN the mar
Dor or gone out TO meet him?"
Probably met him"
"Did you ever hear by letter from the
man who wrote Hook der Kaiser'?''
Here the captain broke forth into loud
burst of laughter. which was entered into
by the friends of the captain who had
been standing around the captain and the
Eagle reporter. Captain Coghlan pressed
the first finger Of his right hand over his
lips and looked the reporter in the eye
for a moment. which had the desired ef-
feet and brought forth a new question:
Captain, who IS your favorite poet?''
This was greeted with another outburst
Of laughter. and then the captain broke
forth in a loud exclamation. saying: This
is too much, too much. have been asked
that question many times. The newspa-
pers have written me many letters asking
me the same question. 1 Ike them all,
though I rather favor Eugene Field. In
fact, class the poets with the ladies in
my affections. They are all sweet and
nice. love them ALL
VIVA: do you think OF the situa ton In
the PhilippiDes?'
II do not know as can make any pre-
dictiou, though II is my personal opinion
that everything will be settled by the end
OF this summer"
When asked how long he would remain
at Winfield. he said: Until the Soth or
the lst Of July. My wife has some rela-
tions there that We will visit before we
go TO my boyhood home, which Is az Belle
