Atkeson carried one county
out Of seven in this congression-

Rhodes, the candidate four years
ago carried four. At the time
when Atkeson carried one county
the candidates for state senator
carried three Of the counties in
this district and candidates for
representative carried three
counties. Yet ithe Butler Rec
ord claims that Atkeson was the
strongest Of all the candidates in
1906, and stronger than was
Rhodes in 1904. Rhodes, OF a
foreign county, received i6l
more votes than AtkeSon did in
his own county, while DeArmOnd
only lost II in Bates county at
the same time. In the district
Atkeson in 1906 lost 1862 from
the vote of Rhodes while at the
same time DeArmond lost only
IO4 votes. These figures 90 70
show that all the stay at home
vote was Republican. Do these
figures show Atkeson TO be a

Hopkins of Illinois has held several con-
ferences with Secretary Taft regarding
the various points Of the platform proposed
for the Chicago convention was again at
the War department today and saw the
secretary. Senator Long will leave to-
night for his home and expects to be IN
Chicago a week from today.
In the opinion Of Senator Long. the prep
aration Of a platform at Chicago will not
provoke much controversy. He believes
that the committee on resolutions will not
regard with disfavor as being an attempt
TO control their action in advance, the
drafting of a platform which will be pre-
sented to them as the basis for the declara-
tion Of the convention. on the contrary,
ne thinks that the draft will be very help
full and do much toward minimizing the
labors Of the resolutions committee.

fifteen minutes TO decide that Ren Marshall
was guilty of attempting to Criminally

afternoon at $50 o'clock after a trial last
ing two days.
Besides the Cram assault Marshall is

Mrs Anna Grabowski, a few days before.
Eight years ago he was charged with the
same offcnse against a little girl but the
jury found him guilty only Of assault and
battery and he served a ninety days sent
ence in jail.
The state wove a strong chain of evidence
against Marshall. Miss Cram Identified
him as her assailart and two watchmen
in the vicinity of the place where the
assault occurred also identified him as the
negro they saw running away from the
spot the night Of the assault The rope
used 10 choke Miss Cram was identified
as like a piece of rope which had been
taken from the saloon in which Marshall
was porter about the time of the assault
Marsnaii's actions the day following tho
! assault also aroused suspicion When Miss
Cram was taken to the saloon 10 look at
him he Immediately tore off his apron and
ran out Of the back door and did not re-
turn. He was arrested the next dav crouch.

Marshalrs defense Of an alibi was pune
tured by the testimony of persons he
claimed to have seen on the night of the
assault. Several of them swore it was the
night following the assault they were will
