In his speech to the delegation he
stated that he had opportunities in his
profession that he could not let go.
These, 1t Is stated upon good authori-
ty, that he will be the principal at
torney for the big pottery trust that
embraces nearly every pottery in the
west and many in the east. 1t is said
that his salary will be $4,000 a year,
which is three times what he gets as
congressman. 1t Is also said that he
may represent other large corpora
tions.
Mahoning county will present Judge
Kennedy and ex-senator Writ, and If
Columbiana goes into the fight Judge
Peter M. Smith and j. H. Brooks will
be the candidates. Politicians from
Columbiana county, while conceding
the fact that the other counties pre-
cede her in equity, are in hopes that
the scramble will result in a dead
lock between the two and let a Col
umbiana man in.
The Stark county delegates here
are busy laying plans to capture the
nomination for Stark county man.
They are not a unit for any one per-
son, and there Is a possibility of
clash before the convention adjourns.
1t Is said that in addition to these who

other congressional convention to
name candidate. At the Alliance
convention resolution was passed au-
thorizing the congressional committee
to fill all vacancies that occurred af-
ter September first. This is in accord

nominations.
The vacancy occurring before that
date will result in call for primaries
in the three counties unless some other
plan Is decided upon to select dele
gates. The call for these primaries
will necessarily have to be issued at
once.
Judge ]. p. Fawcett is the member
Of the congressional committee from
Stark county, and 1t is possible that
he and the other members, who are
in Cleveland, will determine upon the
mode Of procedure before they leave
the city.
After Congressman Tayler had an
nounced that he would withdraw, the
silence was broken by julius Whit
ing, Of Stark county:
'.Mr. Chairman" he said, STARK
county has stood at your back for
nearly ten years and she is Just as
earnest in your support today as ever
in the history Of your political life.
Can you not reconsider this matter?
Can you not let it lay over until tomor-
row and give full weight to our re-
quest that you take further time to
consider the matter?"
The face of the little congressman
was study, the tense lines around
the pallid fps showing the depth Of
his feeling.
"Mr. Whiting and my friends from
Stark county, have given this matter
deep thought" said Mr.. Tayler. in
my career in congress no man can say
that my yea has been otherwise than

phatically nay. I have promised that

county, but Mr.. Tayler again reiter-
ated his determination to retire from
