CONVENTION OF THE NINTH CON-
GRESsioNAL DISTRICT TO MEET

The republican congressional convention
of the Ninth district meets today In Mag
nolia hall at y o'clock. The princapal bus
mess to be transacted is the nomination
district to oppose Congressman o. ".
Underwood. It is not known who will
be the nominee, but the sentiment seems
to be divided between Erskine Ramsay
and j. Carter Cooke. Some doubt is en-
pressed as to whether Mr.. Ramsey win
accept the nomination Many express the
opinion that his business interests would
prohibit him from making as active
race as the republicans claim they Intend
making In this district There also seems
to be doubt of Mr.. Cook considering the
nomination favorably. He has been Sc
lected as manager of the republican cam
paign In Alabama, which he has accepted.
and It is thought by some that his taking
charge of the campaign indicates that he
will not be a congressional candidate.
Mr.. Cooke when seen last night refused
to state whether he would accept the
nomination for congress II rendered him.
He stated, however, that he had agreed
to manage the republican state cam
paign, and that headquarters would be
opened tomorrow in the Hillman hotel.
and that an active campaign would be
inaugurated at once.

PRESIDENT DOING WELL.
Wound Shows No Ill Effects From the
Short Trip.

Richmond, Ind, September 23.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's train arrived here at $50
D. m. The President was resting, easily,
and the wound on his leg showed no Ill
effects from the short trip from the hos
pital to the train at Indianapolis. On the
contrary the President suffered less pain
than he has for several days. He passed
the time during the run here in reading.
He is cheerful and Is lying in bed with
his leg propped UP on a pillow. The train
will run on a slow schedule, making about
thirty miles an hour, and is due to ar
rive In Washington at $50 o'clock tomor-
row evening. He will be taken to % Jack
son Place, where the temporary executive
offices are located.
1t was learned tonight that the deter
mination to abandon the trip was
reached yesterday, and notices to this
effect were sent out last night fro De-
troit and today from indianapolis to those
interested in the places the President was
TO visit. The President did not speak to
DIR. Lung, his official physician, of the
pain In his leg until a few days ago.
Yesterday the pain became SO intense
that it was decided to take no further
risks by continuing the trip.

According to the generally expressed
view in Washington considerable mystery
surrounds the postponement Of the Pres
ident's northwestern trip. 1t was not
known that he had suffered in the Pitts
field accident any injury beyond few
facial scratches, and the sudden appear
ance of an abscess without the initial
stages yet in a condition requiring inn
mediate operation, naturally creates
something of a surprise. 1t would also
be presumed that he would go to Oyster
Bay instead of coming here. The white
house is not ready for occupancy and he
will be compelled to use the cramped
temporary quarters when he arrives to-
morrow afternoon.
