Cannon Prolonss Stay.
A short time after the conference
reports began to circulate, that the so
called injunction plank might be
withdrawn. This could not be verified
and Cannon continued to receive coa-
gressional leaders and other friends
at the Union League club. He had eA-
pected to return to Danville after sec
ing Hopkins, but his departure is now
indefinite, and he will at least remain
thru today The speakers intimates
were less optimistic than Senator Hop
kins' had been. The real conference
of the day on the platform, so far as
the Taft forces are concerned, began
at the Auditorium Annex, shortly after
noon, when Hopkins, Wade H. Ellis,
Senator Long, OF Kansas and Frank
B. Kellogg, secreted themselves in
private suite of rooms, for a full dis
cussion.
Taft Forces Standing Firm.
Confidence was expressed by Taft,
not be able to dictate changes in the
proposed planks, and it is understood
that to insure this condition, great care
is being given to the makeup OF the
resolutions committee. That the Taft
forces are we'll i'm hand. is the belief
of the secretary's brother, G. p TAFT
who said today: "All the Taft dele

the slightest Indication Of any change

Hughes Not to Withdraw Name.

Hughes refused today to discuss fol

national republican convention at Chi

he would not request that his name be
withdrawn from the presidential race
and that he will not interfere in any
way with the deliberation of the New
York state delegates. The governor
believes that his position towards the

Tourist and the High Priced Candles

A tourist vas shown to a room In
/. hotel at Brussels, where he found
twenty candles stuck in a chandelier.
AS it was dark the attendant lighted
them all but the guest had been in
Continental hotels before and made
him put them out Immediately. This
was of no avail, however In his bill
the next day he found them charged,
Twenty candles, 10 francs The
tourist thereupon went back to his
room and took out all the candles,
wrapped each one in paper and put
them into his pocket.
When he was about to leave the
house he found the servants drawn
up in two lines in the hall, ten men
servant on one .ide, ten maid SER
wants on the other, all smiling and
ready for the expected tip. Then he
drew out his pacfage and distrib-
uted the candles one to each. AL

The most unique clock weight in
Maine Is that of the Baptist Church
at Cherrytield, an old smooth bore
cannon. The cannon was one OF the
old smooth bore type and was
brought by Gleason r. Campbell
fromBoston on one of the return trips
of lumber vessels. 1t was brought
to fire salutes as the stirring days
OF the civil war were at hand. After
announcing many Union victories
during the war, at the surrender OF
Lee In 1865. 1t was taken out for
final and great salute. Robert I.
Wiley, soldier of the war, who
was at home on furlough was in
charge of the cannon, and through
some mismanagement a preliminary
discharge Of the gun threw Mr.. Will
ley high in the air, filled his face with
powder and tore one arm off close
at the shoulder. The old gun was
then spiked by the angry citizens
and did no more salute service. When
in 1873, weight being wanted for
the clock, the old gun was used.
For 80 years 1t did clock duty, until
1903, when ii once more received
baptism of fire and fell in the ruins
of the church conflagratlcn that De-
cember. When the new clock was
installed in the new church building
ir 1906, once more the old cannon
mounted the tower to do clock duty.

This is what happened n couple OF
weeks agJ In "alc. The waves
washed far in over the upland and
carried away vast masses Of the up-

than 1t had ever been before. A fish
erman walking along the edge Of the
strand saw something glistening in

When the news got around the viii

to dig. They found still more money

II is believed that the treasure rep
resents plunder from Spanish coast
towns. II Is said that long ago there
were numerous bands OF Portuguese
coast pirates which committed deprc-
dations on a considerable scale both
afloat and ashore and when Portugal
was at peace with Spain they were
obliged to be very careful and hide
their plunder. From time 10 time
other boards of the same sort have
been discovered. when this collec-
tion was buried, no doubt, the spot
was far enough from the water s
edge to be regarded as safe for all

EN- bezzlement of Power

A recent issue of The Commoner, Mr..
Bryan's paper, contained the following
editorial article.
Kentucky is the last state to show
the necessity for the election of sena-
tors by direct vote Of the people. and
we have scarcely had a more striking
example Of the enlightenment of power
than Kentucky has presented. Four
members of the legislator who were
elected as Democrats, and by their
election pledged to vote for Demo
cratic canidate, have voted fol the Re.
publican candidate, They did it too, UNI
der circumstances which take away ev-
cry possible excuse that they had or
can offer.
At first they excused themselves for
not voting for Governor Beckham on
the ground of opposition to him per-
sonally. This excuse was not a valid
one because he was nominated at a
primary, and they were elected after
his nomination aud when their con
stituents had right to expect them to
vote for him. But even this subt9rfuge
was taken away when Governor Beck
ham appeared npon the floor an with
drew his name, and left the Democrats
20 select Democratic candidate b. eau
Gus The four Democrats, however re-
fused to change their votes even when
the reasons for objection had been re-
laoyed. They simply preferred to elect Il
Republican rather team elect any Dem
ocrat, fer they could not assume in aG-
vance that no acceptable Democrat
could be found.
1t is not necessary TO inquire what
things led them out OF the Democratic
party and into the Rel uNican ranks.
1t Is enough 10 kEow that they are cir
bezzlers of power, and that as such
they have slnned as grievously "a one
can sin by the emEezzlemeut OF money.
As individuals they had a right to
change their opinion, but as the repre-
sentatives Of constituents, they had no
right to convert the suffrages OF the
people to their own private use. A pub
tic Office is a public trust aud represea
tatives of the people have NJ more
right to make private use Of the au
tholity conferred upon them than
person has to convert to his own use
money left him in trust.

Bryan in the South from Editors
Standpoint

Charleston Is. c. News and Cour-
Ter: Mr.. Bryan is very much gratifled
to know that Democracy has been
satisfactory to the rank and file OF the
Democrats Of the South as well as to
the rank and flo of the Democrats of
the North" but the rank and file OF
the Democracy in the South go with
the party right or wrong because of
conditions outside of the question of
party principles, as Mr.. Bryan him.
self very we'll knows.
In South Carolina, fer example, in
1900 Mr., Bryan received 47,290 votes.
or q majority of 1867 votes. In 1904
Judge Parker received in South Caro-
lima SO SCI votes, or Democratic ma
jorlty of $4,000. In Georgia Mr.. Bryan
received in 1896. his first race for
President, 1921 votes, less than Nj.
Cleveland received In 1892
In Georgia in 1892 Mr., Cleveland re-
celved 1913 votes, or plurality OIL
81, 056. In 1896 Mr.. Bryan received 81,
2S2 votes, or a plurality Of "a, al.
SO it would appear from the records
that the rark and file Of the Demo
Gratis Of the South are not by any
means satisfied with Mr.. Bryan, and
the rank and file OF the Democrats Of
the North have shown Mr.. Bryan very
clearly that they do not want him and
will not have him.
