by the demonstration of the hidden
strength of the New York editor. They
worked themselves into such state of
fright that they were easily led to be-
lieve that Mr.. Hearst'S nomination
would be inevitable at Chicago, be-
cause, as it was alleged, he would be
able to pack the convention with noisy
supporters who would demand his nom
ination in the name of the sacred cause
of labor and who would be likely to
stampede some of the country dele
gates. This evidence of insecurity on
the part of the German men has I'M
doubtedly reacted against the Mary
land senator and, taken together with
his disastrous attempts at leadership
on the Panama question, has YEA kened
him SO considerably that many of the
shrewdest Democratic leaders declare
unhesitatingly that he now is out of
the race.
There never was a time when the
New York people themselves seriously
expected to get the convention. They
knew it would have to go west for
ordinary political purposes. The St
Louis men were the most surprised
people in the town over the outcome,
because until a day or two before the
committee met they believed the con-
vention would go to Chicago. The sud
den move of the German men resulting
in the transfer of the New York votes

mans weakness, at the same time
made evident Hearst's strength. No
one of the party leaders was prepared
for the fact, which had been borne in
upon them within the last few days.
that Mr.. Hearst has completed an ex-
traordinary organization, which is en-
tirely personal, which is not dependent
in any way upon party machinery, and
which is certain to have effect when
the convention meets.
Democratic members of the senate
have been fairly inundated with re-
markable petitions from workingmen
and others demanding that they use
their influence to secure the nominal

Chicago, Jan. 15.-The Tribune prints
the following from its Washington bu-
reau:
The meeting of the Democratic ma
tional committee has stirred up the
members of the minority party to an
extraordinary degree. because upon re-
Election they see a good deal of politi-
cal effect in the sudden change of SEN
timent in the committee by which the
convention was shifted from Chicago
to st. Louis. Taking one consideration
with another, the result seems to have
been an eye opener for the old time
political wheel horses as to extent and
general ramifications of the Hearst
boom.

Germans friends were panic stricken

writer-Telegraph Machine.

A Yetman Transmitting typewriter,
the first ever seen in Newton, will be
added to the equipment in the Santa

in his possession for several weeks,
during which. time he spent a, few hours
each day getting familiar with its OPP
Grafton. ME-. L. B. Tobin, an expert
operator, who is introducing the ma
chine on the Santa Fe lines, was here
today and preliminary tests of the ma
chine were made that were highly salts
factory. This machine was invented
and patented by Charles E. Yetman a
railroad operator, and has been on the
market less than a year. Only eleven
machines are at present in use on the
Santa Fe, seven at Topeka, one at each
of the following places: Newton, Wich-
tia, Emporia and Albuquerque. In
addition to doing typewriting, it may
be connected with any telegraph wire.
An operator may send messages by
simply manipulating the keys the same
as when writing. With six weeks of
practice it is said that anyone can be-
come proficient enough to enable him
to send messages. There is a slight
difference in the touch of the keys nee
essary to send messages, from that re-
quired only to typewrite- By working
the machine slowly, however, any one
can operate it, so that man at the
other end of the wire can receive.
