YATES MEN STAND PAT
Opposition Makes an Effort to Com
bine on HamIin.

Springfield, Ill, May 19.-Delegates to
the Republican state convention ex-
pected no nomination for governor to-
day. Conferences held during the
night had for their purpose a combina-
ton to nominate Hamlin. This nom
nation is said to have the influence of
Senator Cullom back of it and to have
had the moral support of Speaker Can
non. The combination, contemplated
the union of the Dineen-H anlin-
Sherman forces with accessions from
Lowden's country delegates sufficient
to nominate. The most strenuous eff
forts apparently failed to secure
enough delegates to assume the sue
cess of the plan. As u result it was
thought improbable that a shift to
Hamlin would occur today.
The Yates people did nothing during
the night in the way of attempting
combinations. They decided merely
to stand pat until the opposition ex-
hausted all efforts at combinations
When asked today regarding a
statement published this morning to
the effect that Governor Yates would
withdraw today, the governor said:
my only answer is that the state
ment is absolutely false"
When the convention assembled
Congressman Fuller offered a resolu-
ton providing that unless the con-
vention make Il nomination for gov
call on governor be suspended and
that .the convention proceed to nomi-
nate the remainder of the ticket
The Yates men from Adams county
entered u protest and demanded roll
call.
Yates called his men about him and
in the confusion shouted:
'tAH vote no."
J. H. Burke, Dineen delegate,
raised a point of order that it would
require a two-thirds vote to adopt the
resolution. Cannon ruled that a ma
jority could decide the question.
''Then we demand a roll CALL" said
Burke.
"One-ffth of the convention can de-
nand Il roll call" said Cannon.
Almost all of the Cook county dele
gates and a large proportion of the
Yates delegates sprang to their chairs
and the chair ordered the roll call.
Yates passed word to vote no. The
resolution was lost-yeas Sol, nays
1901.
The 48th ballot resulted: Yates
1856; Lowden, 9971z; Dineen. 432 ~;
Hamlin, 112; Warner Al; Sherman, 2;
Pierce, 81.
In making the motion designed to
end the deadlock, Congressman Fuller
said:
This convention must recognize
one fact above every other and that is
we are here rs Republicans. Nine
teen years ago today on the 18th of
May the greatest. deadlock in the his
troy of the state of Illinois was broken
and John A. Logan was elected sena-
tor of the United States (Cheers.)
Let US do as well today and act here
regardless of personal preferences"
Notwithstanding Congressman Full
ler's appeal the delegates defeated the
resolution and balloting for governor
was renewed.
At noon after the 5Oth Intellectual
ballot. showing no material change mad
been taken, recess was had till 3

IOWA STANDS PAT.
Tariff Reformers in a Hopeless Mi
nority in State Convention.

Des Moines, Ia, May 19.-Iowa's
long fight between stand pat Re-
publicans and liberals on the issue Of
tariff revision and reciprocity ended
in a complete victory for the former
in the state convention for selecting
delegates to the national convention.
OF the % delegates chosen, 20 are
standpatters and only six are liberals.
The resolutions adopted contain no
sentiment whatever in favor of tariff
sion, but declare that the protec-
tive principle found its high fulfill
ment in the Dingley law" AS to reci-
procity, the platform declares that it
is 'unwise to seek markets abroad by
sacrificing some parts of the markets
at home"
The convention was unanimous IN
naming it's delegates and adopting its
platform, but the committee on reso-
lutiOnS disagreed in the recommended
tons a minority of three, headed by
ex-Congressman George G. Perkins, a
possible candidate for governor, stood
for a liberal plank declaring for a
reciprocity that would increase for
eign markets without harming Amer
lean industry, and suggesting that the
Republican party can be depended on
to revise the tariff whenever neces-
sary. This minority refused to accede
to the platform of the majority as to
the tariff, and so reported to the con-
ventiOn.

MRS. ROUNDS ANGRY.
Makes Faces at One of Fowler's At
toFneys at Emporia.

/ Emporia, Kan, May 19.-Interest in
the Rounds-Fowler case here in the
district court continues unabated. The
/ arguments are to close today and the
case go to the jury. The opinion here
seems to prevail that Mr.. Fowler will
/ be acquitted.
The first witness after Fowler was
/ w. s. Bigham of Charlton Iowa who
testified that he in company with two
other gentlemen from the same town
were in the office of Fowler on a Ger
tain day in September last when Mr.
Lambert came into the office They
were there to see Mr.. Fowler on real
estate deal when he came in and were
requested to step out of the private
office. which they did and Lambert
and Fowler stepped in.
He further testified that thew heard
Mr. Fowler assert to Mr.. Lambert that
this was a blackmailing scheme" and
| that he was innocent of the charges
and that Mr.. Lambert stated that he
believed him but that he thought it
would be better for Fowler's interests
for him to settle the matter. They
further testified that Mr.. Higgins
came into the office the next morning
line, Mr.. Fowler again emphasiz-
ing to Mr.. Higgins the fact that it
was a blackmailing scheme and a hold
up and Mr.. Higgins advised him to
settle.
S. A. BiBngamann and D. c. Bling
amann of Charlton, Iowa, were next
called to the stand and practically cor
roborated the testimony of W. ).
Bingham. They, were the other par
ties with him at the time.
J. R. Waddington Ga former employee
of the Emporia Mortgage company,
practically corroborated the testimony
Of these men as he was in the outer
office during the interview mentioned.
He is a nephew by marriage of Fowler.
Joe Morris, q member of the En-
poria Mortgage company, was in the
office at the time Lambert came in to
talk to Fowler in regard to his having
refused to pay the check. Mr. Morris
said that he heard Mr.. Lambert tell
Mr.. Fowler that he had better let the
check go through and Mr.. Fowler told
him that after consulting with mis-
father and other counsel, he had de-
cided to stop payment on the check.
Also Fowler at that time told Lam
bert that as he had been representing
Fowler in the negotiations, he of
course would be unable to represent
Miss Minnie Nelson, stenographer
for Emporia Mortgage company, next
testified that she vas in the Office the
entire time on the day of the alleged
assault being committed; that Mrs.
Rounds came in and went into the
private office of Fowler; that she
called Fowler to the telephone when
it rang and afterwards took papers
into the room. She also said the door
leading into this office was open all
of the time, and that conversation
could be heard where she was, which
took place in the private Office.
James Fowler, also an emplOye of
the EmPoria Mortgage company, was
tn g next witness called. He practical
ly corroborated the facts in Miss Mel
sons testim cny. Both Miss Nelson and
Mr. Fowler made good witnesses.
Captain Suddock was a positive
witness He testified that he. was in
the Fowler office when Mrs. Rounds

Governor Bailey today turned loose
his Memorial Day proclamation. He

with the blessings that are ours. the
gratitude of the nation to the men who
offered their lives to preserve the I'm

tfonal character that measure the
standard of our civilization. When the
history we are making today shall be
written the historian will have no
more beautiful story TO tell than this:
