o'CoNNOR MAKES PREDICTIONS
ST. Paul Democratic Politician Thinks
Denver Convention Will Pick a
Man Who Can Win.

In a statement made to the Mime
apolis papers last week Richard L.
O'Connor, the ST. Paul democratic
chieftain, makes the prediction that
John A. johnson will certainly be
nominated at Denver.
II am just as sure of this" he says,
las / ever was of anything in my life.
[ base my conclusion on the Wide-
spread sentiment for Johnson. Look
at the magazine and newspaper adver-
Using he has received, and not cent
paid for it: you know that. He couldn't
have bought that advertising for a
million dollars.
Glow do [ account for the Bryan
sentiment being SO strong up here in
the northwest when the east and south
are strong for Johnson? That's easy.
The democratic party in Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, hasn't had
any standing. It's been tWo-thirds
populistic. Four years ago it was all
Bryan. Last year it was all Bryan.
If Johnson had jumped into the game
six months ago, however, it would
have been all Johnson. These states
up here are not going to beat Johnson
or get him the nomination, except as
they swing to him the minute they find
Bryan can't get the nomination. The
New York delegation is going for
Johnson. It's uninstructed, but you
watch it vote for Johnson in the con-
vention.
CHOW, mark what I'm telling you.
Johnson will have the east pretty
solid. The south is going to break
badly and johnson is going to get a
good share of the delegations. Com
mon sense is going to predominant in
the Denver convention. 1t is not 60
ing to be stampeded by any flights of
oratory. 1t is going to bea question
of picking the man that can win.
Johnson can carry the northwest, the
south, east and the Pacific coast. "

SOUTH ASKS HIGH
TARIFF ON LUMBER
Chairman Payne Points Out Al
legged Inconsistency.

Washington, Dec. 21.-The timber
schedule was again under discussion
before the house ways and means
committee for a short time. H. HI.
Tilt of Titon. Ca. who appeared
at the request of the committee, said
that the creation of forest reserves by
the government had had the effect of
increasing the price of stumpage. He
declared that the government gets
the highest prices for what it sells.
Mr.. Tilt asked that the lumber
schedule be left undisturbed, saying
that the free entry of lumber would
not tend to conserve the American
forests and that the consumers prob
ably would get no benefit in the way
of reduced prices. He admitted that
he would be satisfied with the reten-
tion of the tariff in the low grades OF
lumber.

why the people of the South come be.

DECLARES 1T is INJURIOUS
Or. Wiley Would Prohibit Importation
of Absinthe.

Washington, Dec. 21.-There is a
strong probability that the further i'm
portation of absinthe into the United
States will be prohibited. Recon-
mendation to that end was made by
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief of the
bureau of chemistry, and the action
of the secretary is awaited with in
terest. DR.. Wiley has conducted some
Investigations in reference to the ex-
tent to which absinthe is used In this
country and has discovered that on
account of the tasoe and effect of the
drug the habit is rapidly acquired and
is a difficult one to give up.
In his recommendation DR.. Wiley
points out that section IL of the pure
food and drugs act prohibits the i'm
portation of articles injurious to
health and he classes absinthe as one
of these.

Mr.. Williams says:
Il write this letter to you as my
resignation of the position of par
l~iamentary floor leader for the minority,
the resignation to take place upon the
first Monday of December following this
date, l have been thinking about 1t a
good deal and it seems to me that if

ever is going to be Speaker of that
House ought to have at least the train
ing Of the last, or short session, of this
Congress, not only to fit him for its
parliamentary duties, but also to make
a more intimate acquaintance with the
personnel OF the Democratic side than
ne perhaps otherwise might have. If,
upon the other hand, the next House
shall be Republican, the preliminary
training will be just as necessary in
order to fit him for the very arduous
duties of leadership during the Sixty
first Congress.
Il am actuated solely by the idea
that the course that 1 am taking is
best for the party.
I'm sending in the resignation this
early, so that you can have it pub
ltshed, instead of waiting until next

idea that it was only fair to the MEM
bers of the party that they should have
