THE CHAIRMAN
Continued From First Page

One of the visitors asked newspaper
men if there is anything in the talk of
Senator Smith, of New Jersey, but pro-
fessed not to know whether his boom
has substantial backing. 1t was learned
at Rosemount that Senator Davis had
mentioned Mr.. Campau for the place
on the occasion of his visit to Judge
Parker. Senator Davis spoke of Mr..
Campau as the Nestor of the commit
tee, although a young man in years,
and believed him well equipped for the
place if Senator German declined to
accept.
Judge Parker's visitors said they had
heard little discussion in relation to
the treasurership of the national COM
m1ttee. There are two candidates for
the secretaryship and there may be
more before an election tomorrow. The
two names mentioned thus far are G. A.
Waisn, or Iowa, the present secretary,
and Trey WoodSon, of Greensboro, XIV.
1t is believed here that the anti-Tag-
CART talk now is the result of boom
Tor Taggart for the governorship of In
diana. Mr.. Taggart is not a candidate
Tor governor and is giHng his support
to John W. Kern for that position.

is represented by W. A Deford. who
has his proxy. Mr.. Deford says that
Mr.. Walsh is not a candidate in the
sense of making canvass for votes of
members of the committee, but that his
friends say that 1t would be good poll
