Owing TO the pressure Of official busi-

The idea Of a conference Of governors
originated with William 6. Jordan.
former editor of the Saturday Evening

is probably the most cordial greeting of
any Of the States leaders.
One of the jokers remarked: What,
only nine possibilities? Why. I will bet
that every governor here thinks he is at
least a near-pOssibility.
In the front row of seats were some
of the men most conspicuous in political
life to-day. Gov. Hughes. of New York:
Gov. Swanson, of Virginia. and William
Jennings Bryan occupied adjacent chairs
and nearby was Gov. John A Johnson.
of Minnesota. Directly behind Gov
Hughes was Higgins. the boy govern

Broward, of lorida, who won fame prior
10 the Spanish war as a caption Of the
filibuster steamer Three Friends. and
Hoggatt, of Alaska Folk. Of Missouri,
was there. and Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
and Cummins of Iowa, while such pri-
vate citizens as James J. Hill and An

Shipp has been at work for the last three

yesterday echoed the famous old rebel

''Yip, Zip, ZIP" rang clearly above the
cheers of the other cOnferees.

was at one time a stenographer. and that
he still has sympathy for his former
