The hotel lobbies are jammed and

said however, that the Glenn vote
will scarcely gS above $50 votes on the
first ballot according to statements of
certain we'll informed and careful men
among his supporters. While Sted-
mans vote it is stated with apt cir
cumstantiality will be increased at
least 10 votes after the first ballot.
The Glenn men also claim an immedi-
ate increase in his vote after the bal
lotting begins which, they say Will
come from Stedman.
II is a wise man who knows "where
he is at"
The Wake delegation is large. The
differences to how much of the vote
shall be cast for Stedman and how
much for Glenn, which threatened to
make irritation will probably be set
tied amicably in the proper spirit. 1t
is to be hoped that this will be, more
than 1000 delegates already regis
tered at the hotels.
Writing of conditions as they ap-
peared earlier in the day, Mr.. Gray

admit that they will be forced to the
necessity to choose, and reciprocally
there is q sentiment among DavidSon's
men decidedly favorable to Stedman
in case their rst hoiee releases them.
Oppose Policy OF Instruction.
Tonight 1 interviewed a number of
prominent men on the matter of in
StructionS to endorsement by the con-
Vention of the Parker candidacy. The
sentiment would seem to be against
endorsement or instruction although
all delegates interviewed seemed to
be in favor of Judge Parker. The
opposition seems not to be against the
man but the policy one that is out of
line with the precedents of North
Carolina State conventions.
Hon. John d. Bellamy is strongly of
the opinion that this convention
ought to instruct for Parker for Pres
ident. He thinks the New York
jurist will be nominated and believe
that it is the part of wisdom for
North Carolina right now to gain the
appreciation of Mr.. Parker by declar-
ing for him when declaration will
have great weight in the country and
perhaps turn the scale and in his fa-
vor and assure his nomination at a
time when il will give North Carolina
the credit of settling the matter.
Senator f. NJ. Simmons when seen
said: Il do not think that the con-
vention will instruct or endorse any
candidate"
State Senator London: 81 do not
think it would be wise at this time
to instruct If it were six weeks
earlier, l might have been in favor
of such course. as at that time such
action might have helped the R<rker

To show the National interest that is
attached to tomorrow's convention, the

at least, no foundation for the gossip
There is a general feeling that the
nomination must be made from one of
the four regular candidates. Anything
else, say the supporters of each, would
be an objectionable reflection upon all.
AS to the Hoke-Justice contest, there
is a most remarkable divergence of
opinion. The Justice men claim that
the vote is at present practically a
stand off each candidate having about
800 instructed votes while the Hoke
aGherents, through Mr.. Quickel, Judge
.HOkes manager, claims Il majority of
at feast 200 votes.
For Corporation Commissioner, Cap

quiet in their claims.

Jarvis and the Watts Law.
While not so intended, Governor
Jarvis statement as to the Watts law
sent in my last nights telegram, has
seemed to cause some misunderstand-
ing. Governor Jarvis statement that
the Watts law was the meanest piece
of legislation ever constructed was in
tended to apply merely to the framing
of the act AS stated last night Gov
ernor Jarvis endorses the act itself and
the policy upon which it is founded.
To Endorse the Watts Act.
1t may be said positively that the
convention will endorse the Watts act,
the temperance legislation passed by
the last General Assembly in specific
terms.

One fthe interesting numbers Of
the convention is Mr.. w. w. Clark, OF
New Bern, who was a Palmer ano
Buckner enthusiast in 1896 Mr.. Clark,
as is known came prominently before
the State a few WeegS ago as one of
the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the

Mr. Clark is regularly elected and
has his credentials. He says that he
will take and hold his seat and win

is opposed to an endorsement of Judg !

The Justice rumor has again been set

10 MACK APPEALS.
FORMER oTTuMWA coLoRED
MAN TAKES HIS LIBEL CASE
TO SUPREME COURT. "a

- N ~ 70 . A a..
Des Moines, June 16. - An appeal
to the supreme court of Iowa is tho
latest move made by Rev. F. G. La.
mack to vindicate himself in the eyes
of the public, which he thinks has been
imposed upon by his conviction and
sentence to four months in the county
jail on the charge of libel.
The motion for new trial in which
he essayed to prove that two of the
jurors had conspired to defeat the ends
of justice by convicting him, failed be-
fore Judge Nichols and followed with
bis sentence to the jail.
Church Members Behind Move.
1t is believed that the members Of
his church, who demanded that he
Square" himself in the eyes of the
world by the publication of the libel.
GUS article against Wright, have con-
tinued to insist that he place himself
in the proper light now that he has
been convicted of wrong doing.
Whether the entire six members of the
church are engaged in the insisting, or
just three Of them, Is not known.
Brother Lomack has not yet seen the
interior of the home for the hapless,
and therefore believes in staying out
of 1t as long as he can with propriety.
His present move in bringing the rath-
or sensational case to the attention Of
the supreme court will have the effect
of delaying the case for some time to
come and keep him out Of the county
Jail for some time further.

Des Moines, June 16. - Whether or
not Charles A. Walsh will remain dem.
ocratic committeeman from this state
depends upon the ability of himself
and A. w. Maxwell to establish the lat
tens claims to- the chairmanship OF
the state central committee. Their
ability to do the latter may depend
upon the control of the state conven-
ton to be held at Iowa City, July
l9,or' later may depend upon decision
OF the courts as to the validity of the
action OF the recent state convention
which vent out Of its usual channels
to dictate who shall head the state
committee and who should represent
the state on the national committee.
A Fight for Life.
There is no doubt that Maxwell
and Walsh are going to fight for all
they are worth at the next state con-
vention," said Sam s. Wright, district
delegate from the fifth district yester-
day. Some OF the delegates were Sc
lected at the time the delegations
were chosen for the recent convention
but they constitute but a small per
cent of the entire state and fully nine

selected. 1t is safe guess that Max
we'll and Walsh are bending every en-
ergy to control these delegates and
to see that their supporters are chos-
en- in each county. Their political life
depends upon it. There can be no
doubt that the state committee as now
constituted will decline to re-elect
Walsh to the national committee and
will also decline to recognize Maxwell
as chairman. 1t Is clearly manifest
that Maxwell waived whatever rights
he might have had conferred upon him
by the convention when he sat in the
recent committee meeting as mem
Der and recognized Jackson as chair.

Marsh is Mentioned.
If Mr.. Wright is right, it will prob
ably mean the selection of w. w.

teeman AS he says, the fight is
bound to be a bitter one, and it is
more than likely it will not end until
the courts have passed upon it. Mr..

delegates had practically all left the
