ROOSEVELT FACTION
FIGHT DR.. HUNTER
Kentucky Administration Republicans
Fear His Influence With Delegation
to National Convention.

LOUISVILLE. KY, Jan. L-Dr. w.
Godfrey Hunter is a candidate for dele
gate at large from the State TO the
next Republican National Convention,
and his friends are actively at work
pushing his claims. Kentucky has four
delegates at large. and John W. Yerkes
and Col Morris =. BeIknap will be
chosen for two of the places without
opposition.
Among the other Republicans whose
names have been mentioned is former
Gov. w O. Bradley. and il is said that
a strong effort will be made by the
Bradley Wilson wing of the party 70
send Mr. Bradley to Chicago.
DR.. Hunters candidacy will be fought
bitterly By the Administration forces in
Kentucky. for, it is charged that TO
make him a member Of the delegation
would be TO insure an early flop OF the
Kentucky delegation should any OPP
position develop to President Roosevelt
in the convention. The Hanna Republi-
cans in Kentucky are counting on send
ing a delegation prepared to support
the Ohio Senator If he allows his name
10 go before the convention. and the
fight between the Administration forces
and the anti-Administration forces Will
probably be made over DR.. Hunters
candidacy.

day, and on January the new commit

chairman. A party love feast will be
held at the same time. and plans made
for the conduct Of the campaign.
The meetings in all the districts were
harmonious. and many of the Democrats
who left The party in 1896 and refused to
affiliate with it in 1900 were present as
delegates, and took an active part in
the proceedings. There was no sugges-

Subpoena of the President.
A Binghamton Man Intends to Call
Him as Witness.

1t Is said that President Roosevelt,

nesses in the ease of A. ID. Wales. of
Binghamton, n. Y, against President

claims was followed IN settling the
coal strike.
The idea Of some people seems to be
that a man is elected President IN or
der that he may be at the service OF
every individual citizen of the coun-
try; witness the handshaking custom,
the autograph custom, and other i'm
positions 10 which President has

Mrs. Langtru in the West.
The Town of Langtry Will Give Her a
Reception.

The town of Langtry, Tex, which
was named for the Jersey Lily"
when it was founded-no matter just
when-is preparing for a grand eele-
bration when the actress pays 1t
visit, as she will on her way to Cali
fornia next week. Cowboy couIiers
have begun to round up the leading
men of the county, and the day will be
made general holiday. Several
years ago, when Mrs. Langtry offered
to give a drinking fountain to her
uamesake, she was informed that the
only thing the people Of Langtry did
not drink was water. 1t may be inn
egined, therefore, that large and lus-
cious time awaits the LangtTy party
when they lard in the Texas town.
There is no doubt that they will all
enjoy it. 1t is we'll known that Eng
lish people as a rule only recognize as
typically American those features Of
Gu land which correspond to the
stories of Bret Harte, Mary h. Vii
kins, aud Thomas Nelson Page, and
expect to find them all III one town, or
one individual The milder American
civilization they regard as unsuecess-
full imitation English, and turn from
it with loathing. Langtry ought to
suit men of this style exactly. They
will find there local color enough TO
paint the town and begin on the sun

water, and can drink anything else, Is
the ideal of the English tourist bound
for the West. He will not see the
buffalo there, but if he drinks enough
strong waters he may see pink g
RATES.. two-horned alhgators, and pie
bald elephants dancing ON their hind
legs; and that ought to satisfy the
most enterprising sensaton-hunter Of
