were just as she said, but Mr.. Bowser
waved her aside and shouted:

Mr.. Bowser was downed, and he

ten minutes later he was pacing the

him and one said:
That's the old crank who booted
me out of his yard one night"
"And he flung me over his gate for

1t was a hot race, and Mr.. Bowser
wasn't ten feet ahead when he burst
into the house and locked the door be

Columbus, o., May 23.-Leade s are
in conference here today, prepai DRY
to the Democratic state convention OF
Wednesday. Nothing seems to be set
tied in advance except Webb P. Hunt
ington, of Columbus. for secretary of
state. He has no opposition.
The Hearst men have for weeks been
contending in Ohio for district delegates
to the national convention at St. Louis
and for county delegates to the state
convention here this week, but they
have failed to get a majority of either,
SO that there will be no such scenes
of contest as were expected here during
h week. The Hearst men are now in
favor of no Endorsement for any one
for President. This would give them
the district delegates they have secur-
ed, while any Instructions on the init
plan woul prevent them from getting
any votes from Ohio at St. Louis. It
seems certain hat there will be no in
structions for either Hearst or Parker.
Hearst adherents tonight say thav
viii have a majority in the state CEN
trail committee tomorrow when contests
from Cuyahoga, Hamilton. Franklin,
Montgomery Summit, Miami and Mad
iSon counties.
Bryan n Hearst partisans say they
have, out Of 723 delegates, 351, while
the opponents of Hearst say the con-
tests will be decided in their favor by
the committee on credentials, no matter
What the state committee does, that
their poll gives them 800 delegates to
ECO for Hearst, without the 200 contest
ed seats and that when the convention
is permanently organized, any ballot
viii show 1913 against 200 for Hearst.
If Hearst's friends succeeds tomor-
row, their action will affect not only
20G seats in the convention, but also OF
the II Congressional districts with their
nine members OF the new state central
committee and OF the regu.ar commit
tees, including that Oh credentials and
on resolutions.
It is conceded that the convention
vii! be opened by Hearst adherents.
W. L.. Finley. Ohio, manager for
Hearst, as chairman OF the state CEN
trail committee, will call the convention
to order Wednesday morning.
r. l.. Starr chairman and the rest OF
the temporary organization are Hearst
men. When Starr was first selected as
temporary chairman, it was reported
that he would deliver a key note speech
that would carry the convention by
storm for Hearst. but since Hearst
partisans are nov advocating no in
dorsement for president, the address of
the mpora chairman is expected to
be conciliatory. He will, it is said, de-
clare hat the next national platform
and ticket should be made by those
who supported the Democratic national
ticket during the last eight years.

The Nashville Reunion.

The Reunion Committee sends the
good news that all arrangements are
perfected for entertaining the United
Confederate Veterans at Nashville. June
1916.
The Camps of veterans, the Sons OF
Veterans. and the three Chapters OF
the Daughters OF the C~onfederacy are
working in harmony with the business
organizations of Nashville to furnish
an entertainment as nearly faultless a
possible. All of the people are in hear
~ accord, and arrangements are such
that this invitation, to Confederate
Veterans everywhere, is extended
without misgiving in any particular.
Arrangements are far better than ever
before for Veterans to meet in their
old commands-on the campus OF the
Vanderbilt University. The only vari-
alton from former rules of entertain
ment is that OF giving the 'oid SOL
der" preference. This action will do
them honor.
The orator of the occasion will be
Rev. s. McKim. OF Washington. D.. c.,
who served in the Army OF Northern
Virginia. a most loyal Confederate and
q very eloquent speaker.
An impression prevails that only a
few more of these general reunions viii
be held, and as this meeting will be
the first since the death Of that mag
net!c and matchless man. the only
Comrnander-in-Chief while living. Gen.
eral John z. Gordon, 1t will be fitting
to do his memory honor by the largest
attendance possible. At this service
Judge Thomas G. Jones. Ex-Governor
Of Alabama, has been selected TO pre-
pare resolutions in honoring General
Gordon.
It Is earnestly requested and urged
that all Camps report romptf To Sec
rotary l. r. Eastman the number OF
Veterans for whom free entertainment
Is TO be supplied.
