DIES MONIES, Iowa, November 11.-An
important political conference touching the
future of the republican party was held
here last night between Gov. Herbert s..
Hadley of Missouri and Senators Cum
Minis and Kenyon of Iowa.
The conference was preliminary, it was
said, to an effort which the progressive
republicans are making to get control OF
the old republican organization. Those
progressive republicans who declined to
side with Col Roosevelt and his new
party say they should be the ones to re-
organize the republican party.

One of the most curious instances Of
luck on the turf ever recorded occurred
recently at Auteuil. man who is fair
iy well known in Paris. who has lost a
fortune on the turf and now has very
little to bet with. went to the Paris
mutuel and asked for 81 ticket for No.
Is. BY mistake he was given one for the
horse numbered (. He noticed the mis-
take a few minutes after and went back
TO change his ticket.
Il can only change it, said the clerk
when some one wants to put 81 on No.
L. Then | will give him your ticket and
give you one for No. 13." Nobody came to
back No. 4, the race was run, and Minnet

Heap Of Correspondence.

q
today. Heaps Of correspondence remain
untouched. The procession of carriages
and automobiles bringing tourists and
callers down Cleveland lane to the Wilson
bungalow has made the hitherto unused
road quite a thoroughfare. The hackmen
of the town have profited greatly, but
none SO much as Charley Quinn, livery
man of many years, who drove enough
hacks to procure three automobiles and
now has a monopoly on the "for hire"
machines of the town. Most everybody
in town who needs the use of a machine
very much owns one. Mr. Wilson, how
ever, always has used the for hire va
riety. 1T goes without saying" he said
today, with a laugh, that l can't afford
an automobile and never could"
Charles Quinn has driven Woodrow
Wilson for nearly fifteen years. And all
the time I've driven him." said Quinn to-
day, las professor in the university, as
president of it, as governor and as Presl-
dent-elect, he's always been mighty nice
and the same man to me-"
Mr.. Wilson has a number of requests
for speaking engagements. If he granted
them all he would be speaking every
night from now until March 4.
Il haven't given a thought to these
likely that he will tackle them until he
returns from his vacation. which begins
the end of this week and continues until
the middle of December.
Praying for Wilson.
When Mr.. Wilson sat yesterday with
bowed head beside his family in the pew
he has occupied for the last seven years
in the First Presbyterian Church, an ivy
covered little edifice in the center of the
village, he was moved deeply as the Rev.
Dr. Sylvester Beach made this prayer:
Most merciful God, God of our nation.
we today commend to Thy favor and
guidance Thy servant, the President-elect
of the United States. Defend him from
all evil we beseech Thee. and enrich him
with all needed good; sustain him under
the great responsibilities that through the
voice of the people now have been laid
upon him; give him steadiness of purpose,
unf1inching courage, deep insight and
loyal devotion to duty as Thou shalt give
him to see it and send upon him that wis
dom which cometh from above to direct
him in all his ways
Preacher Expresses Admiration.
Mr.. Wilson has no more ardent admirer
than the Rev. Mr.. Beach. After the serv-
ice, in speaking of the governor, the
preacher said: "Mr. Wilson is the great
est man I ever have known. Through
the campaign we prayed earnestly for his

Mrs. Wilson and the Misses Wilson at

afternoon at the services. When he met
the correspondents in the evening Mr.
Wilson said:

Two of the reporters said they had

Reluctant to Discuss Extra Session


Col Bryan would not discuss the matter
of an extra session. but he was urged to
say something about it. Finally he said:
For many years 1 have advocated
change in the time Of convening Con-
gress, and l have indorsed measure
before Congress that would require con-
vening the first session directly after the
inauguration and the second session in
December. This would have a double
advantage. There wou-d be a more i'm
mediate response to the will of the peo-
pie and it would do away with the session
now held after the election for which 1t
has been customary to reserve the ques-
tionable issues.
Col Bryan believes that the paramount
issues of the day are to be found in the
tariff question and the trust question,
and these, he said, are SO closely inter-
woven that one suggests the other.
Gov. Wilson has emphasized these
matters in his speeches, and l know he
will deal with them promptly" he de-
clared.

IN AID OF SMALL DEALERS
Five Thousand Delegates,
Representing Retail Men, to
Meet November 19.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST. LOUIS. November 11.-Five thou
sand delegates. representing at least
1,25O, 600 business men, will come to st.
Louis November 10 to hold what probably
will prove to be the most remarkable
convention ever held in the United States.
1t will be the first annual convention of
the National Federation Of Retail Mer-
chants, and will be distinctively unique
in that the small merchant who is con-
Quoting his business upon capital Of a
few hundred dollars will be the center
of attraction.
Interests Of the "Small Man."
The national federation is chiefly con-
cerned with the small man." and the
three days and nights of the convention
will be taken up with papers. addresses
and discussions of business matters re-
lating especially and particularly to the
general and country storekeeper and mer-
chant In the small towns and the cross
roads and even in the cities.
The parcels post, which the national
federation claims will eventually ami
hilate the small merchant and result in
the greatest and most powerful trust the
world has seen-the distribution trust
will come in for special attention.

Is Not a Skeptic.

"The progressive democrats are in
control at present" continued the in
terviewer, as the colonel sat down on
a green wicker settee on the porch; do
you suppose that wing of the party
will remain in control?'
THE democratic party will progress"
he said. Il understand that every demo-
crat elected anywhere, in the United
States was e.ected on the Baltimore plat
form. What reason have to believe the
elected candidates will repudiate 1t? l
am not doubtful about the party. Your
question suggests a skepticism that | do
not share.
The interviewers began to talk about
the House of Representatives.
Don't you think they will have an un-
wieldy majority there?''
WELL" said the colonel, II would
ra ather deal with surplus than a deficit" :"
And the smile broadened, as the COM
moner thought of the almost lOpsided
House of Representatives.
People say the country Will get SO
Fmuch of democracy in this administration
that the next election will reverse things
entirely suggested the interviewer.
..Oh, pshaw,' smiled Col. Bryan Let
me tell you that the democratic party
has always been worrying about what the
republicans are going to do; and now l
am wiling to let the republicans worry
about u.s. That's enough for the present.
If the republicans want to fear we Will go
wrong, let them do the worrying"
The talk got down to the republican
party, and the spit by the third termers.
Col. Bryan was asked:
DO you believe that in four years the
republican party will have been wiped
out, or that the progressive party will
have disappeared?"
"That Is a matter of speculation. and 1t
is such a hay matter, involving so many
things which have not happened. that II
a business man were to attempt to do
business with as little basis as is found
in that question, he would not make
much of a success as a speculator."

of Recent Election.
SEES NO SPLIT IN PARTY

HAS FAITH IN GOV. WILSON
Leader Declines to Discuss Cabinet
Position-Silent on Second
Term for President.

Col. William Jennings Bryan, who is
in Washington for a week, is so tickled
with what the democratic party has
just accomplished that he can't wipe
the smile off his face. He is so elated
over the tremendous democratic ma
jority In the House that he hasn't a
word to say against anybody-not even
Boss" Murphy of New York. His
smile is the first thing you will notice.
1t, pierced the plate glass parlor win
dows Of his sons house, 1920 Belmont
street. this morning, when newspaper
men approached to ask him questions.
His smile does not even lose itself
when the newspaper interviewers ask
him unanswered questions about his
being in the Wilson cabinet. He be-
lieves in the democratic party. heart
and soul, and from all appearances is
not worrying about anything.
would you say there is a split in
the democratic party?" he was asked.
What do you mean?"
There is well built rumor that de-
spite the overwhelming majority in the
House, there will be Clark men and
Underwood men. and Wilson men, and
that there will be sharply aligned diff
ferences."
Il am not the kind Of man who looks
for splits in the party, and l have
found none,' he replied. And he smiled.

Analysis of Popular Vote.

The great commoner was asked about
the popular vote for Wilson. Taking fig
ures printed this morning, giving Wilson
g. 600 votes, Col. Bryan was not dis
posed to say that Wilson ran behind the
last Bryan vote, explaining it in this
way:
"That might be called the normal dem
ocratic vote. You must remember that
the split in the republican party made a
great difference in the figures, although 1
have not analyzed the official returns
yet"
We'll" asked the interviewer. do you
suppose the democrats could have won
with only one opponent?"
II have always believed the democratic
party would win," said the colonel, with
larger smile than usual, but. as you
know, sometimes my views have not been
borne out by the election"
He said he was extremely interested in
the testimony of the Clapp investigating
committee although he does not expect
to be called before it.
1.-The publicity for campaign funds has
vindicated ITSELF he said. Il believe that
there might be some good in appropr,a-
tons for campaign expenses. You know
when an idealiSt gives as much money In
campaigns as some OF those fellows are
shown to have contributed, it is about
time to have "a guardian appointed to look
after his estate.
No Response to Stock Questions.
Every newspaper man who interviews
Col. Bryan these days has two stock
questions to ask him. These are:
do you expect to be member Of Pres
ident Wilson's cabinet?' and What have
you to say about one term for Wilson,"
There is absolutely no information to be
gained. Col. Bryan does not want them
to be asked, and considers them imper-
tnent.
He will be in Washington about a week
and will deliver an address tomorrow al
Arlington cemetery. He said he had no
engagements TO talk to senators and rep
resentatives, but that he probably would
do SO, if the opportunity presented Itself.
He intends to spend the winter in Miami.
