Elections Carrying a Huge
Bag of Vote Buying
Money.

ton day he had driven an automobile
into which Judge Kimbrough. father
OF the vote buying scandal, and May

ton among the voters, caused Cham

The first witness of the day. how

Of the First National bank It is this
bank in which Judge Kimbrough is q
director and both he and Mayor Plat
carry large balances there.
According to Chambers printed
story it was from this bank that
Judge Kimbrough and Mayor Plau
secured the big bag OF money he says
they distributed on election day. Both
Kimbrough and Platt deny they have
ever bought votes, but express a will
ingness to go before the grand jury
and tell their stories
It is said the sending OF Chambers
before the grand jury will result in
taking the lid off and that the DEM

Republicans, will begin telling tales.

PRES. BOURNE
HAS THE GRIPPE
But Outside of That Every
thing is Lovely in the New
League - An Interesting
Problem For Taft's
Friends.


Washington, Jan. 26.--"At present
the chief news about the progressive
Republican league is the number of
letters and kilograms we are receiv-
ing" said Senator Bristow, Republi-
can, of Kansas, today. "All extend
their congratulations and a good many
ask for plans for the organization of
branch leagues in their states"
one of the things to be attended
to. the senator said was the appoint
ment of secretary. Then the de-
tails OF the organization and the most
effective means for extending aid to
struggling progressives in various
states would be perfected.
The illness of Senator Bourne. Re
publican, of oregon, president of the
league, who has been confined to his
room for several days, with an aggra-
waited case of the grippe, has tended
to check progress Bourne expected
to be out today or tomorrow. As
president he has been flooded with
messages of announcement.
a member of the house, who Is not
in the league, suggested today that
results i'm small number of states
in which the delegates to the national
Republican convention i'm 1912 were
elected directly by the people. might
prove a serious obstacle to the TAFT
second term movement.
Suppose the convention delegates
in ten states" he said. SHOULD be
elected by the people and that the
latter showed general sentiment in
opposition to the president Would
the country regard as the real choice
OF the party the candidates favored
by these delegates or the favorlte of
tho TAFT delegates chosen in other
states in the old way? 1t seems 20
me to be most interesting question"

BY United Press Wire.

Charleston, w. Va, Jan. 2G.-Al-
though elected yesterday in Joint as
sembly, it is by no means certain that
William II. Chiffon and Clarence w.
Watson will be seated as United Stat
es senators from West Virginia. With
charges of fraud in their nominations
made, besides failure to secure their
certificates of election from Cover.
nor Glasscock he has not recognized
the senate branch as being legally
organized, a clear title to the two
Democratic senators is yet to be de-
termined.
The clerk of the house will today
certify to the governor the result OF
yesterdays election, when it Is be-
lievcd Governor GlasscOck will refuse
to issue certificates. This will cause
Watson, whose term as successor to
Elkins would begin today, to lay the
matter before the United States SEN
ate.
Nine Democrats who participated
i'm the casucus were absent or refused
to vote for Watson in the joint con-
ference and eight refused to vote for
Chiffon. Some of these still insist
that Watson and Chiffon must dis
prove the charges of bribery before
they receive certificates of election
and will today insist on the appoint
ment of an investigation committee
Chiffon spurncd the charges and bit
terly assailed those who failed to re-
spcct the wishes of the caucus in his
speech of acceptance, while Watson
declared that he would not accept
the office If it could be reasonably
shown that improper means had been
used by him or his friends.
Fifty-ninc being necessary for a
choice, Chiffon received seventy-onc
and Watson seventy votes. None OF
the thirty-elght Republican senators
and delegates were present.

Hoosier Eggs Must Now be Guaranteed

Y INDIANAPOLIS, IND.-The large egg
dealers and shippers of the state
now buy eggs loss off" and will COM
pei the farmer to sell good eggs or
none at all. This decision was reach
ed at a meeting here some time ago
of the Indiana Association of Car Lot
Shippers, which meeting was attended
by nearly 40 of the 100 or more mem
bers. Resolutions were adopted as
sorting that the dealers would buy eggs
only on the plan of loss off"
This decision was in, line with the
amendment which the last legislature
added TO the pure food law, making it
violation of the law to offer a bad
egg for sale. This law applies to the
farmer, the grocer, the huckster, the
dealer, the shipper, or to anybody else
who sells eggs. H. z. Barnard, state
food and drug commissioner, attended
the meeting and made an address, In
which he told the members his depart
ment would do everything in its pow
er to enforce the new law. Up to this
time II mas been the common prac-
tice for the farmer to sell all his eggs
in lot, regardless of whether the eggs
were good, bad or otherwise, and he
received d fat price for them. The
result WAS that the consumer had to
take his chances on getting good eggs
when he bought eggs at grocery.
1T is crime for any person to Of
fer a had egg for SALE said Mr..
Barnard. and the fact that person
had bad egg in his possession is
