in Pennsylvania lately that insure
him In all probability an enthusiast
tic delegation from that state When
his boom was first sprung about the
close Of the congress session, at a
dinner given here by Representative
Deemer Of Pennsylvania, it was look
ed on in many quarters as one of
those complimentary favorite-sons cpl
sodes of little political consequence.
Senator Knox took the matter with
great modesty and did not enter APP
parently with earnestness into the
movement to make himself the nomi-
nee. Since then, his friends in Penn
sylvania have become active in the
extreme, one obstacle after another
has been removed or surmounted,
lukewarm newspapers have got into
line and now there seems no ques.
ton the state convention June 6 will
give Mr. Knox all enthusiastic endor-
sement. Roosevelt policies will be
endorsed at the time but there Is no
indication it will be possible to get a
delegation on that will be converti-
BILE to Taft. The administration is
not friendly to the Knox movement
though the enthusiastic Knox supper
tiers are representing it otherwise.
President Roosevelt practically
broke with Knox when the rate bill
was under consideration. He came
to the conclusion then and some Of
the ablest men on the side Of the
rate bill told him So, that Knox was
trying to take all the sting out Of
the rate measure. The President did
not trust Knox in that contest and
Knox did not relish his White House
usage. Never since that time has
there been the cordially of relations
between the President and his former
Attorney General that existed when
Mr.. Knox headed the Department Of
Justic When the stories went out Of
the White House this spring that a
gigantic conspiracy had been uncover
ed, through the talkatiyeness Of a
member of the senate who partook
of good cheer too freely at banquet
and unbridled his tongue too freely
| Senator Knox was pointed to in quar-
tiers close to the President as one of
the men who were to be used. The
report went out with the sanction OF
an authority close to the executive
mansion that the "conspirators" plan
ned to encourage the fagorite son
movement and through this move
ment to get delegations that in time
would go to a "reactionary." 1t was
not said Knox was in the conspiracy
but that he was being used. The idea

Luna Park.

Because Of the tremendous success Of
the Greater Washington Band, it's engage
ment at Luna Park will be extended for
another two weeks. There are pronounced
indications that Director Bovello will out
do himself in the matter of furnishing
that style of music that has made him so
popular with the parks patrons, and a
musical season Of more than ordinary
interest will unquestionably manifest it
self during the bands extended engage
ment.
Never was there a concession that
sprung into sudden popularity as has the
Social Twirl. 1t will revolve you into a
good humor despite yourself, and the first
day of it's installation at the park netted
greater returns than did any ten days of
it's stay at the jamestown exposition. 1t

transplanted in the park at a great ex-
pense and from now on will be one of the
parks permanent features.
A day of special Importance will be
Tradesmen's and Merchants day. which Is
scheduled for Tuesday. August 20. Spe-
cial features and added attractions ap-
propriate for an event Of this kind have
been prepared.
