nouneed himself as candidate for the
United States Senate to succeed J. b.
McCreary, whose term expires in 1909. A
primary to take the sentiment of the vot-
ers will be held simultaneously with the
general election In November.
As the situation now stands, 1t would
appear that there are two anti-Beclham
combinations at work, that of Judge
Hines, which apparently dominates the
state central committee and the party
machinery and the Blackburn -MeGreary
organization. The Blackburn MeCreary
combination which seeks reelection of
Senator McCreary, has apparently been
much strengthened by the events of the
past week, and today's solidihcatlon on
a candidate for governor.
Although Judge Hines and his friends
are said to favor Hager, the governor is
also said to be friendly to the auditors
candidacy. Politicians consider 1t more
likely that Governor Beckham and the
Hines organization will patch up their diff
ferenees and that the governor will bring
out a third candidate for the governor
ship.

REGRET.

By Hugh W. Roberts.
am thinking tonight. my darling, of
you;
The moon in the sky, the star and its
beams,
Have bathed my rapt soul with spring
font of dreams,
And the faces of flowers with dew.
The last rose of summer is alone on the
thorn;
I hear the leaves signing as the broozes
slip through:
I am as lonely, sweet flower, as you,
AS lonely, and sad. and forlorn.
Give me back, dazzling, your tender love
true,
Forget the harsh words so thoughtlessly
spoken:
Memory still saddens by heart, tho It's
already broken
For memory is drsamink of you.
