SHORT STORIES FROM
THE SMALL AID. PAGE
Tale of a Negro, a Lost Calf, and an
Advertisement That Was
Never Printed.

This ad. did not get printed en- the
small ad. page.
A husky negro came plodding along
the Bladensburg Road the other day
with a bull calf at the end of a rope
The calf was as stubborn a critter as
ever went over the pike, and perspira
tion was dripping from the negro, the
result of his struggle to haul the brute
along.
What are you going to do with that
cal: ?"
He's los an I'm gwine to take EN-
down an put EN- in de pap"
The calf, apparently realizing tho
horrible purport of his captor's words,
and thinking that anything was better
than being run through a printing press,
gave a loud below. curled his tail over
his back. and started for the bush, and
nothing has been seen Of him or the
negro since.

OPEN RACE FOR NEW

made to Frederick Cook, ex-secretary
of state, and who. besides. is not IN
good health. Mr.. Cook Is, however 4
man of large wealth and would be able
to furnish the campaign with tn.
sinews Of war.
Mr. Bird S. Coler, former comptroller
of Greater New York, is also a candi-
date, as he was two years ago. While
he is strong with the people, young,
aggressive, and popular. he is on the
outs with the machine. which would
diminish his chances of election, even II
nominated.
Mr. John B. stanchfleld, who was Mr..
odell's opponent two years ago, is an
other possible candidate. His friends
believe that in straight out fight in
an off year he would have a much bet
ter chance of defeating Governor Odell
than he did two years ago. They also
believe that Democratic prospects are
brighter this year than in 1900, and Mr..
Stanchfleld may make the race again.
Judge Gray. who has been for four
teen years on the court of appeals
bench. is being favorably considered.
His term expires on January l. and IN

TARIFF REVISION A
CAMPAIGN ISSUE

the Republican spellbinders to meet
the tariff issues cannot be foretold, but
the action of the Iowa Republicans has
put 1t beyond question that tariff revi-
sion will have to be very much talked
about in that State, and probably in
other parts of the Middle West, during
the coming fall.
MI Shaw Will Not Talk.
The most prominent Iowan in Wash
ington at present is Secretary of he
Treasury Leslie NJ Shaw. He will not
liscrss political affairs, but it is known
hat he has recently been in communica-
tion with Senator Allison and other po-
lt!cal leaders in his State, and that he
recognized the placing of n strong tariff
a necessity.
1t is pointed cut that The Iowa Repub-
leans are at present more interested in
this subject than in any other, and tina.
the action OF the State convention
showed this conclusively at time
when many Republicans frcm other
PARTS of the country would have pre-
fcrred that the Iowa platform contained
no such radical expression on the sub
;ect OF tariff revision as was adopted.
Leaders Oppose Revision.
SGch men as Senator Aldrich, chair
man Of the Senate Finance Committee;
Representative Payne, chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee; Senator
Hama and Speaker Henderson were OPP
posed TO the revival of the tariff ques

Acceptable to BIyanites.

The man who many leading Democrats
regard as the probable candidate is
Elliott Danforth. He is standing can
didate. He remained with the Bryan or
ganization when thousands of other New
York Democrats were deserving and GO
ing over 20 the enemy. The Bryan men
would gladly support him, and at the
same time he is popular with the other
faction of the party. and would doubt
less poll strong vote.
There is no opposition to the renomi-
nation OF Governor Odell by the Repub-
lieans, and impartial observers of the
political situation believe that he will
be reelected.
There promises, however, to be some
struggle over the nomination of lieu
tenant governor on the Republican TICK
ct. Senator Plat is said to fave prom
ised the nomination to Frank Higgins,
prominent member of the Legislature
and banker in jamestown, IN the west
ern part OF the State. The President,
who is said to be disposed to take a
hand in New York politics, contrary 10
the wishes of the New York STATE lead
ers, favors the nomination of CAPTAIN
Goddard. of New York.
Captain Goddard is a protege of the
President, and occupies a position in his
circle of intimate friends somewha;
similar to that held by General Wood.
The leaders deprecate this favoritism on
the part of the President. and his al
legged attempt to dictate whom the can
didate shall be. as they remember the
FoIger campaign and its disastrous re-
suits.

Democrats Are in Search
of a Suitable Candi-
date for Office.
WILL BE CONVENTION MADE
Nomination Will Not Go Begging, But
Party Leaders Realize a Good Man
Must Be Openly Agreed Upon, If He
Is to Defeat 0dell-Boom for Sulzer.

New York Democrats are in search OF
according to reports which come to
Washington, the State organization has
no man slated for the nomination, but
the leaders declare. that the nominee
will be convention made rather than
machine made. In other words, it will
be a free for all race, with no particu-
lar candidate making an effort to win.
The reason for this is found in the
fact that the Republicans Will renomi-
rate Governor Odell, whose record has
been good one, and it would be a very
difficult task for any Democrat to de
feat him. Hence, while the Democratic
nomination will not exactly go begging,
there will be no great scramble for the
honor of carrying the Democratic ban
ner.
Convention to Name the Man.
Word having gone out from the lead
ers that the delegates to the State con-
vention will be free 20 name whomso-
ever they wish, several county conven-
tions have expressed their choice. Thus
far four counties. Allegany. Yates,
Fulton, and Tompkins, have declared
for Representative Sulzer.
Mr. Sulzer has not declared himself
to be a candidate, although he has done
favor. Probably if he were to make a
fight for the nomination he would be
able to get IT.
However, there is far more glory in
representing a district In Congress than
making race for governor even Of New
York State and carrying handicap. Mr..
Sulzer appreciates this, and hence is
said not to be anxious to head the
Democratic ticket, although if called he
would probably respond.
With him seat IN Congress is GER
tain; the governorship is uncertain.
He is very popular in his district. which
is strongly Democratic, and can come
to Congress as long as he likes. He
has aspirations in that body, which he
hopes 10 realize If the Democrats elect
the House, and these he would not
readily surrender.
He has served four terms in the
House and is the ranking minority
member on the Military Affairs Com
mittee. one of the important commit
tees In case a Democratic House IS
elected he would be assured OF the
craftsmanship of that committee.
Has Greater Ambitions.
1t is said that he has still greater
ambitions. Consequently he is not
searching after the gubernatorial nom
ination in contest where the Demo-
ocrats with any candidate would be
at a disadvantage.
Mr.. Daniel S. Lamont. former Secre-
tary of War, has been mentioned for
the nomination, but he has discreetly
announced that he will not be candi-
date. His friends believe that he mas
acted wisely. for they have told him
plainly that he would be defeated If
he made the race, and be defeated
badly. They admit that the time Is
not opportune for the nomination of
any man so closely identified with the
Cleveland wing OF the party as is Mr..
Lamont.
1t is said that II Mr.. Lamont were
100. coo Bryan Democrats who woull
take great pleasure in knitting him.
Hence he will not be nominated.
Judge Earl, whose name has been
suggested. is regarded as too old 20
make the race. The same objection Is

grain merchants, Of No. 46 Washington

contracts for the delivery of feed and
grain. and at 8 o'clock in the afternoon
~telephoned that he was about to start
for syosset. He did not reach home.
Mrs. Duryea learned that her hus-
band spent the first Wednesday night
of his disappearance at Oyster Bay,
meeting and talking with several per-
sons he knew. 1t Is said he remained
there Thursday apd Friday. and some
OF Mr.. Duryea's friends say they think
Saturday.
Mr.. Duryea is about fifty years old,
OF regular habits and has no reason for
disappearing. He has been in business
at the Wallabout Market for the last
eighteen ears and a resident of No. n
Keap street. Brooklyn. for more than
twenty years. He recently lost his
father. brother and a brother-in-la W,
but his wife is not certain this would

mind.
