eommittee, may have to do a lot Of work
Rmong friends Of Bryan II he expects to
Succeed himself. woodsou has got In bad
with some of the best organizers In the
Bryan ranks and a fire Is going TO be put
under him at Denver unless the attitude
Of some Of Bryan's closest friends Is
changed before the officers of the ma
tional committee are selected.
The opposition TO woodson developed to-
day when the Denver dispatches said he
Is being mentioned for national chair
man. The Information that he is not suit
able for the secretaryship, much less chair
man, comes from one OF the most enthus-
iastic and trusted workers in the Bryan
camp and 1t is his intention to take the
matter UP with Mr.. Bryan II he has not
already done so.
The details of the story have been given
out in confidence, but the man who is
camping on Woodson's trail has in his
possession sufficient evidence to create a
mighty big stir, as it tends to show the
! incompetency of the secretary to create
enthusiasm among the smaller workers of
the party, but on the other hand that he
ioperates as a wet blanket on some who
are enthusiastic organizers for the Ne
braska man. That the person who Is after
lwoodson will take his troubles to Bryan
there is not the least doubt and the
chances are he will make good with the
candidate.

eight or nine guests from time to time made thir-
teen at the table The elder children went off to
school and later married, but of them re-
moved to another city.

to sixteen at the table. Thirteen was not uncom-

twenty-eght thirty years there has been this
so-caIled fatal number at a meal hundreds, if not
thousands of times, and yet there a
