it has not up to the present been es-

new state has been handled from the
branch houses at Kansas City and Dali

territory and the latter the southern

enlargement of the pillow company's

NEW YORK, June 11.-Denyer, host

thousand or! so Tammany braves who
will go out to Denver in a special train

Tammany statesmen.
Tammany braves say that the pro-

democratic convention six weeks in
advance are all good men no doubt and
don't require anything stronger than
cool tea. But Tammany men who were
brought up under the Raines law are
accustomed to have what they want
and as much as they want, when they
want it.

BIG JOB TO
REVISE SPEECH
SENATOR lAFOLLETTE GOING
OVER RECORD OF EIGHTEEN
HOUR GRAFTON.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Secluded
in his residence on the autskirts of the
city and denied to all callers, Senator
LaFollette is working in violation OF
the eight hour law revising his record
breaking, long distance speech deliv-
cred during the closing hours of the
senate. He frankly confesses that the
revision of the speech is a much more
arduous job than it's delivery.
During those Is hours and % minu-
ties that the Wisconsin senator held the
floor. the stenographers were worked
almost to a frenzy in taking down his
remarks. Although the senator did not
speak at rapid rate, nor more than 125
words a minute on an average, he de-
livered something like 1875, 600 words.
The speech when transcribed from
the stenographers notes weighed 20
pounds and when the messenger de-
livered it as the senator's residence
for revision, before printing in the Con-
gressional Record, he had to use
wagon.
The revision would have been easy
had La Toilette merely read from the
printed documents he used without
break. But he made the occasion in
teresting for his audience. as we'll as
difficult for the stenographers. by in
terspersing his own ideas unexpected
" between the printed lines.

a number OF Democrats, who think
for themselves. The talk Is general
here that the Democrats intend to
nominate him at the county conven-
tion for the place, subject to an ex-
preston of the members of the con-
vention.
II Is known that John d. McRey-
nolds is spoken OF for the nomination,
and Edgar E. RICHTER, whose friends
claim the nomination was stolen from
him four years ago. is the only
avowed candidate, his announcement
being published day by day.

can be no question of a few hard
ships being imposed. But the intent
,ot. the Law, il, commend ble and meets
the approval IN that RESPECT OF re-
putable dealers, who have long asked
for Sunday enforcement.
The successful operation of the law
win not necessarily be blocked by
provisions that it is claimed can not
be carried out or obeyed to the let
ter.
For instance, the Wheeling Regis
ter complains:
TT is provided that all openings
from the room in which liquor is
sold. connecting with any other room,
shall be kept securely locked, etc.
There are several saloons With cafes
attached, which under strict inter
pFetationg of the language of the
statute, viii he. compelled TO close
their restaurants also on Sundays.
There are also several small hotels
in which the registers. room keys,
etc, are kept In the same room In
which alcoholic drinks are sold.
Some of them win ind it NECESSARY,
in all probability to equip new ho-
tel offices for Sundays, with electric
bells, etc"
The conditions as cited by the Reg
lister are doubtless largely responsible
for the drastic, features of the law.
There has been a well-founded con-
tention here for years that restaur-
ants should not operate in conjunc-
ton with saloons, and a measure
passed that they should be in separ-
ate rooms. There is no good reason
why that same situation should not
prevail in Wheeling, and, as to the
hotel equipments the Register refers
to the cost would be such trife to
adjust them that that feature may be
dismissed without serious considera-
ton.
The question of the burning Of
flights is one that will doubtless bear
construction and the courts will like
ly decide that saloonists may have the
privilege Of turning them out in the
day time. No one with a sense Of
Justice entertains the idea that a man
would have to stand by and see his

General Curtin and Col. Tetel
were chosen, too, with the informa.

Taft supporters and would be at the
Chicago convention, and, while they
may be led to believe as they say that
there is a popular demand for Mr.
Roosevelt, yet they are bound BY the
instructions given them by the party
through its regular convention, and
there is certainly no other logical
course for them to pursue except tc
