Gossip is a disease. and in its early

that it becomes a crime that should be
punished. 1t is the mark Of a defect

That is true enough, but there is moth

SOUTHERN MAN
FOR VICE PRES.

Tie following story from the WASH
ington Post of Thursday, May ri,
lends considerable interest to the ru-
mors which have been in circula-
tion in various parts of the u. S. to
the effect that Hon. w. G. Conrad
may be the vice presidential nominee
OH the democratic ticket.
The story is run under the head:
Southern Man Urged. Newest Demo-
cratic Plan for the Vice Presidency.
Has Inception in New York. Party
from Below Mason and Dixon Line.
Demand Recognition for a Candidate.
From their Part Of the Country. Name
Of w. G. Conrad, Of Montana Form
erly Of Virginia, Mentioned"
The story will strike most re-
sponsive chord in the loyal breasts
OF all MOntanans, without regard to
party or political creed, for the Hon.
W. G. Conrad is beloved and respect
ed throughout the length and breadth
Of this proud commonwealth know as
Mcnntana,.
The story from the Post reads:
"soutlerners now residing in the
North, particularly those who live in
New York, have combined to urge the
nomination Of a Southern man for the
Vice Presidency on the Democratic
ticket.
AT a meeting in New York City a
few days ago, a concerted movement
was inahgerated. 1t was decided that
the time had come when it was nee
essary to disprove the theory that
there was no Presidential or Vice
Presidential timber available south of
the Mason and Dixon line.
AT the meeting the name of w. G.
Conrad, formerly of Virginia, but now
a resident Of Montana was mention
ed as being one of several men who
could solidify the Democratic vote,
and bring to the support of the tick
ct the party vote in the South and
the West
"Allen S. Towson, a New York bro
ker, a native Of Virginia, is in WASH
lngton in charge Of the movement to
have nominated a Southern man for
the second place on the ticket. While
Mr. Towson and his friends are en-
thuslastic for Mr.. Conrad, he says
they will be willing to support any
Southern man for the place.
Mr.. Conrad was born in Virginia,
but moved to Montana many years a.
go and has accumulated fortune. pa1
of which, it is said, he is willing to
spend for the success of the ticket
especially if Southern man be nam
ed for the second place.
Such men as Senator Culberson. Of
Texas; Senator Daniels, of Virginia,
ex-United States Senator Edward Car
mack, of Tennessee, and others have
been considered but it is understood
that they would not be willing to
permit their names to be used for
the second place on the ticket. There
tore. the movement has been started
to get the names of some successful
Southern business man who has the
time to devote to the campaign and
who would solidify the party vote.''
