the office and are willing to say they

Asked if he would make a speech in
the convention, the senator replied: mo
1 have no apologies to make"
Among the most active people about
the Walton corridors today was Mrs.

staunch supporter of Mr.. Dolliver.

can better serve the country, the party
and the state of New York as governor of
that state than as vice president /

he embOdieS more of Roosevelt qualities
than any other candidate"
The Massachusetts delegates put in
a very busy forenoon. The delegation
was split up into small committees for
the purpose of lining up the represen-
tatives from other states for Secretary
Long for the vice presidency. A com
mittee of fifteen called on all of the
New England states and found them
all loyal to the Massachusetts candi-
date so long as his name is before the
convention.
From most of the states outside New
England however they could get no
positive pledges for their candidate.
The New Hampshire delegation to-
day passed a resolution to stand by
Secretary Long for second place on
the ticket until he is elected or with
drawn.
The representatives from Oklahoma
Territory partly organized by SELECTING
Harry c. Thompson as chairman a
poll was taken and it was found that
they will support DOlliver. If Roose-

will go to him.

Philadelphia. June 1S.-You can tell
delegates from Kansas just as far as
you can see them. They are bright spots
of yellow in all gathering OF delegates,
for every man has on the lapel of his
coat an enormous sunf1oWer. across the
front of which in golden letters is the
abbreviation ks" The members say
that if their state emblem is yellow
there is not a streak of yellow in any
man among them. They are in a happy
frame of mind, and whenever you see
one you usually find near by from six
to ten, for they are clannish to a greater
extent than any of the other state dele
cations.
The delegation fought its troubles out
at home and brought none of them to
Philadelphia. Closely connected with
this struggle is the candidacy of ]. r.
Burton for United States senator from
the state Burton and Curtis are under
stood to have mutual political interests.
They both were in Washington Satur-
day and called on President Mckinley.
Mr.. Burton is chairman of the de1ega-
ton. NJ a. Low will probably be Sc
lected as the delegate from Kansas OF

Aside from the action taken upon
the Alabama contest, the most import

committee at today's meeting was the
resignation of Colonel Swords as SER

colonel has held his position for twelve
years. and sthere were general ex-

st. Louis, June 1s.-There being no
prospect of an honorable settlement of
the street car strike the situation has
become more strained than ever. The
Transit officials insist the strike is over
while the men, backed by the Fedora
ton of Labor. declare they will fight to
the bitter end.
Despite the large number of attempts
made yesterday to blow up street cars
Sheriff Pohlnan is of the opinion that
the force of special deputies is no longer
needed and that the police are sufficient
for protection purposes. He has sent a
communication to President Halves of
the police board suggesting that it
would be well to test the question
whether or not this community is now
ready to exercise its usual self-control
and in all respects to express and as

in regard to the sheriff's letter: 1T is
