Rowland J. Hamlin, the attorney gen
eral of the state, is the latest addition to
the bunch of governorship aspirants
here. He has opened up his headquar-
tiers on the same floor at the Great North
ern hotel with those of the Yates and
Lowden forces. In fact, he has secured q
strategic point between the two. and
will be able to keep his eyes on the
moves of his rivals. Warner is also at
the Great Northern, and he keeps busy
out in the state while his forces here d.
rect the campaign.
Deneen, the states attorney, is the
only one Of the five who has not his
headquarters at the Great Northern. He
occupies rooms at the Grand Pacific ho-
tel, one block due west of the camps Of
his competitors in this six-cornered
fight for the governorship plum. With
Chicago away up in the northeast cor
ner Of the state, one might wonder why
political headquarters here was an i'm
portant factor in state political cam
paign. One reason, as already init
mated. is that Chicago is the political
center Of the state. and another is that
the newspaper publicity which may be
gained through the location Of head
quarters here proves invaluable and in
dispensable.

ORIGIN OF STAND PAT"
Representative Burgess Explains Its
Significance to His Associates.


Occasionally the Congressional Record
carries something besides dull figures, high
flown oratory or political platitudes. To-
days Record has a speech delivered in the
House December II by Mr.. Burgess of Tex
as, the opening passage of which is as fol-
lows:
II propose to discuss briefly the recent
jected into political literature. 1t consists
Of two words, stand pat 1t could not be
expected that a Texan understands what
this means. Out of Difference to the gentle
man from Iowa CMr. Hepburn who is
formed l took occasion to look into the
origin and history of this expression. 1t
comes from the lips of one of the greatest
players in the great American game or
politics. Senator Hanna of Ohio, who might
in the light of recent events be aptly termed
the suppressed possible President of the
United States
knowing the gift of the senator as do
for being apt in phrase as in other things
I was led to inquire more diligently into
the origin of this expression. l found that
1t belonged to the great American game
commonly called poker and that it means
to play hand as dealt, without drawing
for any more cards.
81 found further however. that it is not
invariably true that a man who stands pat
has a hand which justifies him in betting
his money; but that it occasionally happens,
and possibly 1t will in the coming preSi-
Dental campaign, wherein the hand of the
senator from Ohio has been turned over to
be played by the strenuous gentleman from
New York, that in the showdown the play
er may be bluffing and may have only
'boh-tailed f1uSh.'

himself in the face of any and all evidence
that the government wished to present He
ted. however, that no other continuance
would be granted unless a most plausible

JAPAN PREPARES FOR WAR.
Fitting Out Expedition of $4,000 Men
for Corea

PARIS, January GA dispatch to the
Havas agency from Toxic today says:
1.-The preparations for the embarkat ton of
two divisions of Japanese troops are con-
tinuing actively. 1t Is believed they will be
dispatched TO ports in South Corea to re-
store order"
An official dispatch sent from Toxic late
yesterday evening says the minister for for
eign affairs had not received the Russian
reply up to that time. The officials here
conclude from this that Viceroy Aiexieff
is awaiting an opportune moment to pre-
sent 1t. No direct word has been received
from st. Petersburg that the reply has
been forwarded. but the unofficial reports
to the effect that the answer has been
made considered correct
Owing to the absence of details regarding
the Russian reply the officials here are care
full not to express an opinion as to the out
come. but the general tone of the comment
In official circles is slightly less hopeful.
Japan Preparing Large Expedition.
The most significant feature of the dis
patch from Toxic Is the statement that
Japan is fastening final preparations for a
far more extensive dispatch of troops to
Corea than at first contemplated Tho
government has now decided to send an
army of 35, coo men, organized as two divi-
sions, to Corea. This is more than double
the strength of the expedition first con-
templated. and requires a large fleet Of

Rumors are in circulation at Marseille
that a French naval division. composed of
the armored cruisers Kleber, Desafx and
Amiral Aube, and the turret ship Su1ern,
is about to receive orders to sail for the
far east The reports, however cannot be
confirmed here, but there Is reason to be-
Iieve that the naval authorities are con-
sidering the disposition OF the warships
in the event Of serious turn in the sttu-
alton. This is due mainly to the present
small French naval force in the Pacific
which is confined to two unfmportant ves-
sells.

Judge Swing.
Knapp will be taken from the death house
and brought back for a new trial. The
principal ground on which the new trial
was granted by the court was alleged error
in allowing Knapps written confession of
five murders to be read to the jury. The
court held that while that part relating to
the murder of his wife Hannah was ad-
mssible. 1t was not admissible in connec-
ton with the recital of other crimes. The
court said:
The confession of so many cold-blooded
crimes could be the work of only a flend
or a maniac and it could not fail to pre-
judice any person who heard it read"
The court held that the state had failed
to prove the allegation in the Indictment
that Knapp had killed his wife by choking
and strangling, and that it had not been
shown how she came by her death.
