Legislator Ayers.

Chicago. Sept. 30-State Representative
Henry A Sheppard, of JerseygTle. Ill.
Democrat, testified to-day ir the Lori
uler senatorial investigation that he was
induced to vote for William Lorimer for

rner that he would do all in his power to
prevent the appointment Of eithGT of two
Jerseyville men to the postmaste' ship OF
that town. Sheppard said he still hoped
that the promise would be kept.
The postoffice promise, Sheppard declared,
was made in person by Senator Gorimer-
He named the men he objected to- and
said that he suggested last fall the name
of Republican for the appointment. which
has not yet been made.

from Representative Wilson in St. Louis,

he voted for Senator Dorimer to break the
deadlock" He said that nothing was
promised for his vote, and he did not re-

REPUBLICANS WILL WIN
Governor Quinby Expects Vic
tory Here and in Home State.

Governor Henry B. Quinby of New Hamp-
shire, who is here to attend the banquet
rendered to President Taft tonight by
the National Republican League, said last
night at the Waldorf-Astoria that the
chances for Republican success in his
own state were exceedingly bright
He said that the party in New Hamp-
shire was absolutely united. and that he
saw no reason why the whole Republican
state ticket IN New York should not also
be elected. Governor Quinby paid a
tribute to the direct primary law. which
has lust had it's first trial in New Hamp-
shire.
"Progressives and regulars are working
shoulder to shoulder In New Hampshire,
said the Governor. Our one idea is the
election of the whole state ticket, headed
by Mr.. Bass The direct primary law so
far has worked remarkably we'll, and at
the primaries there was a large vote.
1--WE in New Hampshire are Taft men
heart and soul and we look upon Mr..
Roosevelt as a most remarkable man. who
is thoroughly in sympathy with the Taft
programme.
I'VE feel practically certain of electing
our ticket, and though ! am not CONVEX
SAINT with New York politics 7 can see
no reason why the Republicans in New
York should not be equally successful,
provided they work in harmony.
THE Maine election was a surprise, but

caused by dissatisfaction with the liquor

Chief Wilkie is convinced that all the

he has rushed orders by telegraph to
every Secret Service man in the country
TO spread the dragnets.
II was also discovered to-day that the
bogus SO bills on the Pasadena bank are
being noated. representing two issues in

STARTS WAINWRIGHT FIGHT
Westchester Committee Sends
Out Appeal to Delegates.

The campaign committee of Republicans
which IS endeavoring to bring about the
denomination Of Senator ]. Mayhem VAIN
wright in Westchester County yesterday
sent out an appeal to the delegates to the
convention TO be men instead of puppets.
Boss Ward has declared, it is said, that
there never was any such thing an
open convention and that he and the
Organization" in the county did just what
they wanted TO do with delegates and con.
ventions.
This letter. signed by a long list OF
prominent Republicans in the county. tells
of the excellent record of Senator Vain.
wright.
"A serious duty rests upon each one OF
you,' il says 70 the delegates. We ask
you to rise above personal considerations,
and. conscious of your responsibility, TO
vote as your best judgment dictates and
according TO what you believe to be the
wish OF the Republicans of the conmu-
nifty from which you come. II you are SO
guided we are confident that your vote
Will be for Senator Wainwright"
The letter takes up the boss issue, some
what along the lines of ex-President Roose-
velt's speech at the Saratoga convention,
when he said that if there were a direct
primary in westchester he believed Mr..
Wainwright would be renominated. The
letter says:
I'VE believe that Mr.. Wainwright should
be nominate, not only in order that the
standard Of representation which he has
always maintained may be COZ tinued, but
because it is in line with wise party pol
icy
Although It was announced that the
Republican County Convention would be ar
open convention, where the nominations
would reflect the result of the best judg-
ment of the delegates, it is now openly ad
mitted that the convention Will be a closed
convention, where the party leaders will
endeavor % induce the delegates to vote
against Mr.. Wainwright and for another
candidate"
