Crane feel at home, and he gave the

Among those who are familiar with
the situation, the candidacy of L. E.
ClOgston, of Eureka, for congressman
from the Fourth district against J. NJ.
Miller is not looked upon seriously.
One man who claims to know what
he is talking about said today:
"Clogston couldn't carry his own
precinct in his own ward. He is dis
tnctly unpopular in Eureka. Appar-
entity he has somehow gotten a notion
that he can get some notoriety out of
his candidacy, but I doubt whether it
will get that far"
1t is limited by some that Clogston's
candidacy has something to do with
the red hot postofice fight which is
raging at Eureka Perhaps CIogston
figures that he can throw J. NJ. Miller
into such a paroxysm of terror that
Miller will let him name the post
master.
The Emporia Gazette says of the
situation:
1T is admitted by those who might
make trouble here for Miller that
Clogston has no show for the nomi-
nation. He isn't known outside of his
county except by lawyers, and it is
said that he would have a hard time
to get the delegation from his own
county. As it stands. it is not prob
able that Mr.. Miller viii have a hard
nght Mr. Clogston doesn't throw

fronds. The state dining room, which
was not thrown open to the guests IN
til after the ceremony, was a vision Of
grandeur. The great high walls and
ceiling, paneled in walnut. like the
halls of a Saxon lord Of old. bearing
just below the ceiling the hunting
trophies of the president, formed a
magnificent setting for the beautifully
decorated table on which, amid a
simmer of silver and cut glass, the
buffet wedding breakfast was laid. The
great table, extending almost the en-
tire length Of the apartment, was dec
grated with vases of American beauty
and bride roses, ferns and asparagus.
In the private dining room, which
opens into the state dining room on
the north. the vases on the mantel
were filed with bride roses and fern
fronds. Vases on the table contained
American beauty and bride roses and
ferns.
The decorations of the main corridor
were beautifully artistic. The inches
were filed with decorative plants,
stately palms and tree ferns. The two
great jaTdinieres between the columns
along the corridor We're planted with
handsome Th OdOdendrOns in full flower.
The blossoms We're of purple and pink
and the plants were so arranged in the
Jardln1eres so that they formed a living
screen just twelve inches high.
Behind the screen was stationed in
the Vesdbule the magnificent Marine
