Washington, March 25-Special.-
The democratic state convention of
Rhode Island held last Saturday
marks the beginning OF the end to
the opposition to MIR. Bryan. The
convention was addressed by Sena-
tor Gore Of Oklahoma. who has
done as much throughout the states
of the north to advance the cause
OF real democracy as any man in
public life today. Overcoming or
even forgetting the physical dsa-
bility that comes from his total
blindness, Senatr Gore has gone
into every state where his voice and
his brilliant oratory might be of
service to the democratic cause.
willingly and enthusiastically lie
is today candidate for reelection in
his own stasa He and Senator
owen were elected at the same time
both being the finest types of dem.
ocrats and of American public men.
II so happened that Senator Gore
in the lottery which senators elect.
ed together must always join in,
drew the short term. What the
democratic party in Oklahoma may
do no one not a resident OF the
state can say. But there should
be no doubt OF the return of Gore
to the senate and the state of Ok
lahoma could never have two men
more thoroughly respected and more
greatly admired by public men OF
whatever party than owen and
Gore.
However, this is a digression The
action OF Rhode Island democrats
is only the beginning of a movement
which will give at least four of the
New England states to Mr.. Bryan.
1t will be worth while for people
interested in politics to watch Mas
sachusetts. Plutocratic newspapers
like the New York Sun or the World
have been very much inclined to

sprang out into the road and open

He ran up within fifteen yards OF

rolled over and again shot at Ellis.
The latter then riddled him with
bullets. Johnson had been -arricd
but two months.
The officers started to Talihina
with their prisoners tied on their
horses. They did not get through
the mountains until far into the
night and the trail was so rough
that Sheriff Ellis was walking and
leading one of the horses on which
one OF the outlaws had been tied.
He struck a match TO see the trail
when he discovered there was no

that this is not a matter to be

doing now Is to fight for delay. In

The Two-Tnirds Rule.
The anti-Bryan newspapers and the
anti-bryan agitators are making jus,
one boast, just one prophecy of
what they think they may be able
to do. This is the boast aud the
prophesy. They insist that they are
going to be able to hold one-third
of the delegates in the democratic
national convention away from Mr..
Bryan. They do not profess tnat
they ever can have a majority They
do not even say whether the pitiul
minority of onethird will be for
Governor Johnson, for Judge Gray
or for any individual What they
do insist upon is that they will nave
one-third of the delegates for the
one single purpose OF defeating the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan.
1t is not a very impressive posi-
ton chat these gentlemen occupy.
Not daring to announce their own
candidate, all they can declare is that
they may be able to defeat the can

there Is little likelihood that ;Ley

but the fact that there are politi-

Placed On His Trail By

New York, May 1s.-william S.
Brewer, published and inventor, will
probably be afforded another oppor-
tunity tomorrow to recite the details
of the clever ruse by which he out.
witted detectives employed by his
wife, Edith Ainslie Noble Brewer, and
turned the divorce suit Instituted by
that lady into a roaring farce. At the
former hearing Justice Platzek de-
clared a mistrial and the suit is sched
uled for retrial tomorrow
At the previous hearing, Brewer re
counted tale that should make ths
shade of Boccaccio and his modern
French imitators hang their heads in
shame at their lack of Imagination and
literary finesse.
According to Brewers story, he
made a trip to Pittsburg last January,
and suspected that he was being fol-
lowed by spies in the employ of Mrs.
Brewer, who was anxious to secure
evidence to be used against him in a
suit for divorce. Being of an obliging
nature, he decided to furnish the levi
dence' to order, and wrote to his
lawyer in New York outlining a plan
which for sheer audacity and origin
atty mas seldom been equalled in lit
erature or life.
The details of this scheme are told
in the letter from Brewer to his attor-
ney, Harry Eckhard: ~

The lady will go up on the elevator
with me, and go down another way,
when you and Cedric signal that no
one can see her depart. Now, you can
arrange for room for me that has a
connecting room, so that you and
Cedric and any witnesses you want
can be in the connecting room while
they (the detectives) watch or break
in on me-"
Brewers little plan to confound HIS
wife's detectives worked like charm
The fiy-cops, it is alleged, secured a
room opposite that of Brewer and
stood watch during the night, while
Brewer and his friends made merry
and waited for the grand denouement
The spies did not break into the room
however, but a short time later the di.
vorce suit was brought
During the previous hearing which
ended in a mistrial, an attorney fol-
Mrs. Brewer testified on oath that he
had seen a woman coming from the
room occupied by Brewer The latter
however. produced large number oil
witnesses to prove that he had spent
the night with male friends and that
the woman in the casep had been es
corted out OF the hotel Immediately
after playing her part in the little
drama of domestic infelicity.
