Responding to the call of the Bailey
Campaign committee, Texas Demo-
Gratis who have remained true in
their allegiance to the Texas sena-

indorse Bailey as a candidate for
delegate-at-large to the Denver con-
vention.
The committee calls attention to
the fact that Senator Bailey did not
announce himself as candidate
until his enemies had declared that
he should not be a delegate, and that
his sole reason for entering upon the
campaign was to meet the teUt o!
strength which his opponents had
prepared.

RIVAL TOWNS
CONTROVERSY
voLLMER AND LILO CANNOT
AGREE OVER LOCATION OF A
CENTRAL SCHOOL FOR DIST
TRICT-HOLD ELECTIONS.
Special to Evening Teller.

EAST, ILO, Idaho, March 27.-
The CONTROVERSY over the location
of the school house for the llo dis
trict is still undecided and spirit
ed election is expected on April 4,
at which time the election for school
directors will be held.
At the present time the school Is
unorganized and is being conducted
in three separate departments. The
vollmer school has an enrolment of
about so pupils, while the main
building in the Ilo school located
near the old town of Ilo, there are
IS pupils receiving instruction from
one teacher. A primary department
is being conducted in small room
adjoining the main building and
| SIS pupils are here being instructed.
An effort has been made for the
past several months to bring the
people of Vollmer and lilo together
| on the location of a new school
| building suitable to the needs oil
/ the district, and where the several
departments could be properly or
| ganized, but up to this time the
people of the two towns have re-
mained apart. 1t has been suggest
ed that an effort would be made te
divide the district but this is gener'
ally regarded as impracticable.
The area of the present distric
is too small to permit of division
unless Independent districts are or
ganized and 1t Is claimed the as
sessed valuation OF the district !
not sufficiently large to permit 0
this action.
Every feature of the situation
has been taken up with a view Q
securing harmony in reaching de
cision as to the location OF the ne,
building, but as all OF thse endeav
ors have resulted in failure it is ex
pected the energy OF the two com
munities will be to secure contrt
of the school board at the electio
to be held next week.

of the acceptance by the German
government of David Jayne Hill as

doaIs with the affair by denying
.hot any explanation adverse to Hill
tas come from the German side de-
daring that he is persona non

contrary sense are inventions put
into circulation by designing Amer
teams and that the opposition to Hill
is American, not German.
On the other hand it is known
that in certain matters the official
household opposes Hill.
Mr.. Towers part, it is explained,
has been confined to the transmittal
to Roosevelt of the emperor's def
mite communications. 1t happens
his majesty also requested dis
tjnguished personal friend of Roose-
welt, who is now in Germany to
write to the president concerning his
maiestys unwillingness to receive
Hill.
Both these communications were
sent at the express wishes of the en-

time all of the upper cross supports

The bridge will not be turned
