that Curry has little following in the
north on the other hand, it is claimed,
the machine has opposed Curry ana
has endeaVored to eliminate hlm from
the race, but this opposition OF the
machine, which the push has permitted
to leak out" from it's caucuses IS
taken with a grain of salt, and many
wise Republicans claim it is trick
TO deceive the voters. Some go so far
as to maintain that both Stanton and
Curry are regular machine candidates
There is no question but that this is
true of stanton, say the Republicans,
but there will be some surprise
throughout the state If the machlne
admits it's Endorsement of Curry. AT
any rate. it is predicted that stanton
win retire not long after the inevitable
effacement of Alden Anderson, which IS
declared already decided on. But In
Los Angeles. at least the supporters
of stanton say that if there is any
BODY dropped from the race it Will be
Curry.
BeardsIee a Disturbing Element
There are other queer maneuvers go
ing on in the north, too. For instance,
both Curry and stanton are said to be
deeplv concerned over a campaign OF
boosting that has been instituted for
one Robert j. CBobO Beardslee OF
stockton. as the running mate of stan
ton. 1t has been intimated, among the
"push" Republicans, that there are per
sonal reasons why stanton does not
like Beardslee for his running mate,
but none of the wise Republicans VIII
venture to say why this may be so.
II is pointed out, however, that II
Beardslee is accepted-and he ls re
garded as a certainty because of his
ability to represent certain policies as
president Of the state senate-Stanton
NAV have to retire and make room Tor
Curry.
Republican regulars in the north are
said to believe that Curry and Boards
lee would make the most desirable
team for the machine to nominate. The
northern opposition to Stanton comes
from their anxiety to put Beardslee IN
as lieutenant governor. Beardslee, II
will be remembered, was the candidate
for speaker against stanton in the last
assembly. He is said to have strong
following, and as presiding officer OF
the state senate could do a great deal
toward recuperating the machine
stanton and Beardslee-Curry and
Beardslee-or can the push" decide on
q running mate who will be more
agreeable to Stanton?
At any rate, "de machine" is having
q hard time. And what can 1t achieve
by nominating either, or any?
That is really the most bothersome
problem.

has been seriously threatened with dis
ruption that the work of the 'regu-
lars" at Washington, as In nearly every
state where important issues have aris-
en-, has endangered the Republican in
stitution established by former Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and that had it not
been that the Lincoln-R Roosevelt
leagues have stubbornly remained In
tact in almost every section of the
country. and have faithfully stood
guard over the policies and principles
of the absent leader-Roosevelt-
disintegration of the party would have
been inevitable. AS 1t is only that ele-
ment which sought to undo the work
of Roosevelt and which has insidtously
aimed to steal the control from the re-
form element, has met with dissolution.
Political leaders believe that in the
pending campaign there will be ar
rayed before the voters but two par
ties-the reformed Republicans, or
Lincoln Roosevelt league, and the
Democracy. The opposing factions of
Republicanism much come under the
Roosevelt platform or organize a new
party, and their strength is not sutfi-
cient to accomplish much in the latter
event.

BOTH SIDES TO
TAKE PART IN
PARTY CAUCUS
REPUBLICAN, "WHlP" ANNOUNCES
THAT REGULARS AND INsuR-
GENTS WILL ABIDE BY RESULTS
OF ACTION TAKEN.

Washington, Jan 14.-Representa-
tive John Dwight of New York, the
Republican whip of the house. stat
ed today that an agree -nent had been
reached between the regulars and the
insurgents whereby the latter would
attend the party caucus on the selec-
tion of the Ballinger-Pi -Pinchot investi-
cation committee and abide thereby.
Pinchot and Ballinger may be repre-
sented by counsel throughout their
investigation by congress. This was
practically agreed on by the senate
and house conferees today.
Test of Republcanism.
Taft hes declared that his test of
Republicanism would come when ac-
tion was taken upon the legislative
recommendations he had made in com
pliance with the party platform He
said he was not Withholding patron
age from any Republican member or
senator because of votes against Can
non, against the rules of the house or
against the tariff bill.
II. however, any insurgents carry
the fight against the speaker and rules
to the extent of opposing administra-
tion and party measures, to which the
party is pledged, the president will
not longer regard them as Republi-
cans but as opponents OF the party.
Under the circumstances he will not
be justified in recognizing any claim
for patronage from senators or repre-
sentatives who would use every pat
ronage given them as ammunition
against the party.
Taft Is Satisfied.
Taft is said to be satisfied with the
the way matters are progressing and
received many assurances that most
of the so-called insurgents will sup
port administration measures.
Cannon says The caucus will be held
next week. 1t is understood that it
will be made the basis for the CON
templated reconciliation between the
and regulars. How this
will be brought about is not apparent
today. A majority of the insurgents
are chary of walking up to something
that might be loaded" as one ex-
pressed it. Cannon said that every
Republican should come to the caucus
and take pot luck on the result.
The insurgents reiterate that all
they desire in the Ballinger-P -Pinchot
matter is the naming Of a committee
which will go to the bottom of the
whole business and return an honest
verdict. The insurgents are making
no effort to place any of their num-
Der upon this committee.

ing that Thomas H. Swope, millionaire
philanthropist, who died Oct g. came

tives have started an investigation to
determine the exact cause

body was taken from a vault in For
est Hill cemetery on Wednesday and

estate say they are convinced a deep
laid plot existed to kill Col. Swope and
then other members Of his family. a
person who hoped to become sole ben
eficiary Of the Swope millions plotted
the deaths, they assert.
Suspicion was aroused when Chris
tian Swope, nephew, died on Dec. q.
He was supposed to have died of ty-
phoid fever. But his attorneys say
both he and his wealthy uncle were
poisoned.
The man under suspicion Is said to
have attempted to inoculate the entire
swope family with typhoid bacteria,
hoping to bring death by this means
so he would not be suspected. This
failing, however, he resorted to poison
in the case Of the two men, 1t is de-
clared.

Clerk wants Investigation.

Clerk Phillips stated that he took
the matter to the court and asked that

his Office had nothing to do with the

and p. M, and included the entire
work of the grand jury. The warrants
were made out about $50 and the
sheriff took them from here
Deputy Clerk James Gee said
George Phillips brought the report
into the vault of the office about p.
M, Wednesday. asked him who was
indicted and he told me he did not
know. The warrants were made out
between and $50. The report includ-
ed all Of the indictments and the in
vestigatton Of the county farm and
Jail. The indictments were recorded
by Mr.. Phillips, while I entered them
in the docket and in the fee book and
placed covers on them. Then l issued
the warrants. This office has nothing
to do with the grand jury proceedings
until after they are reported to the
court. did not know Of any of the
cases, nor who the witnesses or per-
sons were who appeared before the
grand Jury I gave the warrants to
Sheriff Jackson near $50 p. m.

before the grand jury.
Not Me, Says jackson.
The sheriff and his deputy stoutly
maintain that the leak could not pos
sibly have emanated from that Office
Sheriff w. w. Jackson stated that all
the information he or his deputy could
secure was by the orders to issue sub
,poenas to the witnesses who were to
appear before the grand jury and that
the witnesses in the gambling cases
were subpoenaed about noon of We'd
nesday when the report was made.

them and both Knox and 1 were out

John had been at home about Q

report was made I was with Sheriff

ing for a party on Clay street who was
