II 1t exists at all, is denounced as a ma
licious lie or a forgery, or both.
Information was brought to this bu-

to be personally unfr.endly to the can
didacy Of the President that the manag-
efs OF the Roosevelt campaign claimed TO
have telegram signed by Director Will
liam b. Mckinley of the national Taft
bureau. calling upon the southern dele
gates to stand firm for the President
and stating that they would be taken
care OF in the compromise.
The name OF the person to whom
such a telegram was alleged to have been
sent and his post Office address were re-
quested. but we're refused by the newspa-
per man on the ground Of confidential
Information. The newspaper man was
certain. however. that he had been told
that Mr.. McKinley's name was signed

Wilson Men Claim the Lead.

Woodrow Wilson headquarters gave out
the following:
With twenty delegates from Ohio and
twelve chosen in Virginia yesterday, Gov.
Woodrow Wilson now has 305 votes in
the Baltimore convention and is far in
the lead over any other candidate. The
marvellous run made by Gov. Wilson in
Gov Harmon's home state is one of the
big surprises Of the preconvention cam
paign. 1t now appears that the distin-
guished Ohio governor has obtained only
1000 ma jority over Gov. Wilson In the
entire state. and that the New Jersey
executive almost split even with him in
the election of delegates in the congress
sional districts.
"A telegram from National Committee
man Harvey CARRIER Of Ohio to Wilson
headquarters states that the primary was
victory for democratic progressives in
the state. who selected one-half of the
delegation. Mayor Baker wired his be-
lief that any attempt to adopt the unit

Severe on the Stage.

As for the editor of the magazine. he
believes that play MAS no literary value
unless 1t can be read with profit The
composer. NJ. Vincent d'Indy. is particu-
larry severe on the stage. He does not
consider at all that the spread of a
popular taste for the drama is sign
OF intellectual progress On the contrary,
il is a mark Of decadence. comparable to
that Of the late Roman empire. More
over. he holds that a taste for reading is
tncomparabiy superior to any passion for
seeing pays performed, and he, for one.
always prefers to read Q score Of an
opera than to hear and see II on the
stage.
Almost the only person consulted who
has a good word to say for the stage is
