cusslon OF proposed Legislation
concerning primary elections.
Both houses of the Legislature
have been struggling with the
problems presented, and neither
has made any appreciable progress
on the one matter that has been in
contention from the first. If the
mem mbers could agree whether a
convention should be permitted to
name ticket to go on the primary
election ballot, the whole would
be settled so quickly that one
would wonder why there had been
any argument at all. Failing to
reach an agreement in either house.
the friends of the bill which is
being advocated by Il. NJ. Patter-
son aud his followers sent for W.
j Bryan Of Nebraska to talk to
talk to the members, in the hope
that the influence of the great
leader might bring some of them
to time. He talked Saturday even
ing, devoting most of his time to a
general talk on the matters in the
Democratic platform, but did not.
rs those who brought him here
hoped he would, tell what bill
would be a fulfilment of those
promises. He neatly side stepped
the direct issues, leaving the tangle
lust as before When it was found
the peerless one" was ineffective,
then conference" of Democratic
members was called. 1t was not a
caucus, as pledges signed by many
of the members previous 10 being
elected contained a promise not to
take part in any caucus on the
primary election matter By max
ing it "a conference the leaders
hoped to get all members in and
avoid their breaking solemn
vow. For two days the conference
was II storm center, even worse
than the blizzard that swept over
Denver, Monday, and the only
result was the selection of COM
mittee to try and bring the war
ring factions together. Senators
McCue and Scott were named on
behalf of the senate, and Repre-
sentatives Hicks and Helbig on
behalf of the house, with Charles
b. Ward, state chairman of the
Democrats, as the fifth member
That committee has held long and
exhaustive sessions, and to-day it
is stated that the committee has
agreed on everything except sec. 4,
the section containing the refer
ence to conventions. As that has
been the only matter in disagree
ment since the debate opened, it is
seen that the committee has made
Just as much progress as the two
houses and no more, In the hope
that the committee would be able
to bring the long debate to a
speedy close, it had been decided
to take up the bank guarantee bill
for few days, in order to get some
business advanced. But this morn
ing the mem bers stated that they
hoped to reach ii solution during
the day, so that the bank guarantee
bill will have to wait a little
longer. Primary election bills
may be taken up again tomorrow,
and without even hope of any
agreement.
The situation is really simple.
Patterson hopes to have the Hicks
bill enacted, believing it will Grip

termined that the bill shall not

PROHIBS MAY WIN.
Frank Ryan Thinks They Have a
Good Chance in Missouri.

Frank Ryan of the state railway
board has just returned from a weeks
trip to st. Louis where he went on
business. On the way home Mr.. Ryan
stopped off at Jefferson City in time
to witness the debate in the Missouri
legislature on the question of sub
hitting the question of prohibition to
the people of the state. The Kan
san reports red hot time in the
house of representatives over this
matter-hotter than the utilities fight
in Kansas. 1t is Mr.. Ryan's opinion
after a discussion of the subject with
both sides in the legislature, that the
liquor question will be checked up
to the people of the state, and there
seems to be a general belief in Mis-
souri, that the result of this vote will
be victory for the prohibitionists.
Mr.. Ryan also had an audience
with Gov. Hadley during his stay in
the Missouri capital and was most
favorably impressed by the young Re-
publican executive. HE struck me as
being a bright, broad man. said Mr..
Ryan.
AS regards Gov. Hadley's famous
injunction against the railroads of
Missouri putting the three cent fare
back in force last Saturday, Mr.. Ryan
had not given the matter close
enough attention to pass an opinion,
but he is certain that Hadley is not
four flushing in this fight. HE is not
that kind" concluded the railroad
commissioner from Leavenworth.

NO LICENSES FOR THREE
Union Theological Students Fail to
Pass Required Examinations.

New York. April 1S.-Three young
candidates for Hcenses to preach. all
members of the senior class of the
Union Theological seminary, have
been rejected by the presbytery of
New York. Their applications were
considered at the annual meeting of
the the Presbyterian presbytery held
here but they were rejected because
of their answers to some of the funda-
mental --astions asked in the ex-
animation. Although the meeting was
in private, it is said, that some of the
older members of the presbytery were
greatly wrought up over the beliefs of
the applicants, one of whom is said to
have questioned the miracles and to
have accepted the modern view of the
divinity of Christ. In other words, he
did not believe that Christ arose from
the dead in body. The other candi-
dates saw fit to express doubt con-
corning the divinity of Christ as adj
vanced by the old school of Presby-
terianism.
The rejected candidates are Archi-
bald Black, a brother of the Rev. DR..
Hugh Black of Edinburgh; George E.
Fitch and John Steen.
1t is said, however, that they will
have a further opportunity of explain
ing their beliefs. There was only one
other application considered, which
was accepted. 1t was that of Luigi
Moxegano. an italian graduate of the
Bloomfield, n. J. seminary.

stamp placed in circulation. 1t is
said that Mr.. Taft insisted on pay
ing his penny, although the suf-
fragettes wanted him to accept the
first stamp free.
The suffrage stamps are to be
placed on sale in every city to raise
money for the cause. They are
similar to the Red Cross stamps in
circulation during the winter. While
they cannot be used to transmit mail.
it is customary to attach them to a
letter as a form of greeting.
The sale to Mr.. Taft was effected
Saturday and on the same day the
stamps were presented to Senator

Arkansas Farmer Follows Advice of Cooper and Gains
Fifteen Pounds in Few Weeks.

A. D. Henry, a prominent farmer
living on Rural Route No. 5, Jones'
boro, Ark, in a statement given for
publication, tells story that makes
interesting reading for persons who
suffer from stomach trouble. Mr..
Henry says:
"For six years was a chronic suf-
ferer from stomach trouble. In all
that time did not eat a meal to en-
joy it. No matter what 1 ate it caused
pain and distress. Food laid in hard
lump upon my stomach. I lost in
flesh and strength, and was unable to
find relief. I suffered night and day

The theory of L. T. Cooper is based
upon common sense reasoning. When
asked recently why his medicine is so
successful, he replied: NV New Dis
covery is successful because it corrects
the stomach. Nv theory Is that few
can be sick if the digestive apparatus
is working properly. 1t naturally fol-
lows that few can be well with poor
digestion. I know from experience
that most of the tired. half-sick peo-
pie that are so common nowadays
have half-sick stomachs. Put the
stomach in shape, and nature does the
rest. The result is general good
health. My medicine does this"
