Mr.. Cuthbert was certainly we'll
treated in Worthing and the magnifi f

way his candidacy is being taken all ov-

Former Senator W. A. Harris. the
Democratic nominee for governor,
will be in Topeka on Saturday, May
r. Word to this effect was received
today by Col. William F. Sapp, chair
man of the Democratic central COM

ticket here on that date. so that they
can meet and discuss with Senator
Harris the details of the campaign
to be waged.
There will be a meeting of the new
Democratic central committee on that
date for the purpose of organizing
and it is probable that Colonel Sapp
will be reelected to the chairman
ship. There is only one thing which
viii prevent. his reelection, and that is
his refusal to take the place. but it is
understood that Senator Harris wants
Mr.. Sapp at the head of the commit
tee and that ne will not see his way
clear to decline the place.

in New York, NJ. F. Elliot, general
counsel of the company was asked what

1t is difficult to comment hurriedly

however, in justice to ourselves and our

DevIin Holdings Company Hasn't Been
Given Up.

Upon the advice of the comptroller
of the currency at Washington will de-
pend the outcome of the scheme for
organizing a holding corporation for
taking over the Deylin properties.
James T. Bradley, receiver of the
First National, will leave very shortly
for Washington to confer with the
treasury officials regarding the matter.
Should they lend their endorsement to
the participation Of the First National
in the holding corporation it Is very
likely that something Will come of it.
If the First National of TO1uca and
the Spring Valley National bank Of IL
Hnois together with the First National
decide to become a part of the pro-
posed corporation Its success Is as
sured May 1 was the time set by the
committee in charge of the organiza-
ton of the company for the time limit
in which returns must be secured from
the various creditors as to their inten-
ton of becoming part of the proposed
corporation That time has passed by
several days and there are still great
many of the creditors who have not
made response.
Il had a conversation with Mr.. His
ted several days ago and he said that
thu. replies were coming in very slowly
and not as fast as anticipated said
Mr. Bradley. Things are looking
brighter than they did and it may be
possible that the plan will go through.
1t will all be determined within the
next two weeks.
