INCIDENTS BEFORE THE BIG REPUBLICAN
CONTEST IN THE COLISEUM AT CHICAGO

Chicago, June 10.-The chief duty
Of the Chicago hotel clerk just now is
to point out the political celebrities. 1t
has been necessary to describe big
men of the convention for persons
seeking them so many times that John
Burk, head clerk of the Annex, can
give finest identifying details OF attire
and build of a statesman in mo-
ment.
A great part of the population or the
hotel consists of newspaper, magazine
and free lance photographers. Twelve
snapshotters were in an arc about Sen
ator J. NJ. Dixon Of Montana, Colonel
Roosevelt's manager, when he con-
scented to be photographed on his ar
rival.
Before the senotor reached the hotel
on Wednesday two men had been LED
out on Michigan avenue by the camera
squad in the belief that each OF the
accommodating strangers was the Mon
tanan. One photographer would be
tipped off" that "the tall, white hair
ed man In the Panama is Senator Dix
on"
The stranger at. once would be invit-
ed out in the street for different poses
IN the sun. OF the two cases Of mis-
taken identity one was A. B. Butler
of Washington, Taft camp aid. 1t is
said the other was a Boston linen
salesman. He did not deny he was
Senator Dixon, and posed graciously
with and without his hat and facing in
different advantageous angles.

A New One From Texas.

Col Cecil Lyon of the Texas dele

the cataclysm in Yoakum county, Tex

ton instructed for Roosevelt, causing
Wilson supporters to bolt.
81 was walking down the street with
Charles Hilles in Washington the
other day." began Colonel Lyon, after
some one had said President Taft's
secretary had arrived at the Black
stone hotel.
"A small delivery wagon passed.
the colonel continued. Il looked III
and saw four large volumes stacked
on top with the titles facing us. Three
of the books were reports of the Re
publican conventions Of 1900, 1904 anC
1908. The fourth was Problems o.
the Day. by William Fl. Taft. | di

is a moral
You Republicans, !" says Mr. Wood
son, remind me of old Colonel Gun
fire, who, although a Democrat, lived
in a stronghold of Republicanism. One
winter he blew in and asked to be
sworn in as member Of the Demo
cratic legislature.
Colonel, did you sure enough beat
a Republican,"
"Suh, / beat three of 'em at once
Nov that is what we are going to
do in less numbers. Get together and
scrap, but after it is over watch us
Democrats beat two of you, Taft and
Teddy, all at once"

Rnrah,s Rnshv Hair.

Senator Borah of Idaho is one of the
few big men of the convention who
cannot be called picturesque, unless
his bushy hair entities him to that de-
scription. 1t is said his only reason
for wearing SO much hair is to con-
ceal a bad scar on the back Of his
head received In an accident in his
youth.
Mr.. Borah, like Jonah X. Kalania-
naole, Hawaiian delegate, has round,
chubby, Buster Brown type of physi-
ognamy. His dignity, however, is
such that none would think of calling
him "Cupid"-and that is the brown
skinned islanders nickname IN con-
gress.
Has His Name on SIS Bill.
A southern delegate was much ex-
cited over the appearance of a tall
negro at the Coliseum annex who
figured in several conferences.
Have you SIS bill?" asked friend.
When the currency was produced
the friend called attention to the sig
nature of the registrar of the treasury,
Judson Lyon.
THAT same dark person over there
is Judson Lyon, delegate from Geor-
gia," was the explanation.

PHYSICIANS Must Report.

Physicians will be required to re-
port full explanation of causes OF
death in reports to the state bureau OF
vital statistics. Occasionally, says the
bureaus latest bulletin, a physician IN
good standing will give the cause of
death in case of tuberculosis of sew
eral years standing as exhaustion
from disease, bronchitis, cronic dis
ease, etc" The health department of
Chicago will not accept bronchitis as
cause of death without explanation.
ut may be necessary to adopt some
such provision in Wisconsin,, says
the state bureau, ION account of the
attitude of a few physicians who at
tempt, whenever possible. to conceal
the presence of tuberculosis"

is causing smile even among the
Taft delegations. 1t is to the tune OF

Teddy's gotta dawg, but he amt no

His legs is short, and he's close to the

And you bet they amt kickin' Teddy's

Short legged bull, close to the ground,
And you bet they amt kickin' Teddy,s

The Democratic dawg, the unlucky
hound
That the boys have all been kickin'
around
Is the same old dawg that's been stick

Since old Abe Lincoln came to Wash

And now he comes back, the measley
hound,
With his face and his tail still hangin'
down,
The hungry, sly old lop cared hound,
No wonder the boys have been kickin'
round.
