ties are that the state convention of

nominated despite his protests, Gov.

IL he was nominated the ticket would
be without head, for he would not
lift a finger to further his candidacy
1t was thought this emphatic declara

Armson, of saltwater, would be the no.

however that under no circumstances
would he be a candidate and that he
considered 1t Governor Johnson's duty
to make the race even at a personal
sacrifice.
Congressman Hammond. who also is
strongly mentioned, has declined to
run and with Armson and Hammond
both out, it looks today as though the
only course OF the convention was for

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.--An attack
on the power OF the speaker was
made in the house OF representatives
by Mr.. Shackelford, OF Missouri
during the consideration of the
urgent deficiency appropriation bill
He said Speaker Cannon was the
"ablest. boldest champion of autoc.
racy this age has produced" and
declared that the speaker exercised
"a greater despotism than exists in
any monarchy in Europe"
Speaker Cannon at this juncture
entered the chamber and amid Repub
lican applause, took seat in front of
Shackelford. who asserted that before
any bill could pass you must bend
your noble bodies forward in proper
pose. fold your hands and say oh
Lord Uncle Joe. thy will be done and

Cannon Ito rise in his place, not 60

Society Skimps in Chicago.

Chicago has its swollen fortunes,
but fewer OF them are in society than
one would imagine. says the Delinea-
tor for January. II is to the credit or
Chicago women that there is compar-
atively little OF the wild and frenzied
expenditure which prevails In New
York. Chicago women dress well-at
times they dress gorgeousiy-yet there
are but few women in Chicago who re-
fuse to wear a ballgown third time.
Gloves go to the cleaner and so do
the gowns. more than once or twice or
thrice. Children are dressed In the
simplest fashion. and young girls wear
the plainest OF frocks. though the ma
terial and cut are beyond all cavil. II
Is undoubtedly true that in Chicago
women dress far more correctly than
men.
IL is all but the exception, striking
out the box parties and few rows, &c
see a man in full dress at a theater.
The business suit seems comfortable
enough, and he wears IL.
It's folly trying to hide false life
behind fight for truth.
