know. He wired Greensboro, he
wired every place he could think
of. Nothin' doin'. Nobody knew.
Mr.. Butler seemed completely
lost. Bve-and-by the brethren
assembled in the court house and
the convention was called to Or

his efforts to locate Mr.. Butler
had failed he was sure he was on
the way, was even then some

1t is said that the late Thomas
Bracket Reed is responsible for
the fact that Maine continues to
elect Congressman in September,
all the other States electing in
November. He thought Maine
would be forever and eternally
Republican and that the returns
from Maine would always throw
a scare into the Democratic camp.
But this year it is the other way
about. The result of the Maine
election this year knocked the
Republicans all in a heap and
made almost a certainty what
had been pretty generally believ.
ed even before that election, that
the Democrats will have major
ity in the next House of Repre-
sentatives. There are 391 mem
bers of that body and the Repub
licans now have majority of 50

theDemocrats must elect % mem

The Robson Advance is op-

until we learn how to build

like being opposed to going

MADRIZ REJECTS
ESTRADA'S TERMS
Rv I1nifad Praaa Wire

Managua, Jan. 21.--All hope of
avoiding further battle between the
revolutionists under Provisional Pres
ident Estrada and the government
forces have been abandoned as re-
suit of President Madriz' rejection OF
the latest peace proposal presented to
Estrada ad his ch,ef general, Cha
moro.
AS the proposed imposed impossl-
BILE terms--the granting of power to
conclude terms to the governments
emissaries and the recognition OF the
provisional government--Madriz rejec-
tion of II was not surprising
Estrada is now expected TO give bat
tie to the government troops at Ac-
oyapa and IL successful there, to move
against Managua.
Another reverse of the government
forces, however, Is likely to cause Ma
driz to sue for peace on any terms.
