When Company G and the Fifty

the sun had gone very far over the
horizon last night. Captain Schamp
and all of the cohorts declare they
never saw camp where so much real
service was demanded of the men. The
band boys were forced to become hos
pital attendants on the day of the
big sham battle and carry men on
stretchers, sometimes for mile.
From eight to fifteen hours of service
was demanded each day and when
taps sounded at night there was hard

before.
While they were worked very hard.
Captain Schamp states II was one OF
the best encampments ever held. The
maneuvers were very successful.
Company G. was away from camp two
days in one maneuver, carrying all
equipment and rations with them.
They slept on the ground, in shelter

WILSON TO STAY
ON TRENTON JOB

Princeton, n. J. Nov. 7.-Governor
Wilson said today he'd stay on the
job at Trenton" until be carried out
his program OF progressive legisla-
tiOn in New Jersey. The president
elect said the program of reform he
had in mind for the state would be
advanced by the fact that as the fu-
ture executive OF the country nation
wide attention probably would be at
tended by his policy in the New Jer-
sey legislature.
Whatever We do in New Jersey"
he said, will have the force OF the
whole country behind IT," II is known
the governor wants the corporation
laws revised. With a democratic leg.
islature behind him until Jan. !, this
likely will be a smooth process.
Il think my right course Just now
Is to hear everybody and that l should
not make any statements"
This was the answer Wilson gave to
a series OF requests for statements OF
his attitude on national and interna
tiCnal questions.
Nov. 16 Wilson will take a trip tc
the Bermudas for brief vacation.

HADLEY CONFERS
WITH PRESIDENT

Washington, Nov. 7.-President
Taft returned today. The private car
of Governor Hadley OF Missouri was
attached to the presidents train at
Harrisburg. and the governor came on
to Washington. He will confer with
President Taft today. When asked II
he would take second place on the
republican ticket. Hadley said: Il
have not been asked"
While Hadley said he had come on
private business, he did not deny he
would talk with Taft about taking sec
ond place on the republican ticket to
60 before the electoral college.
Taft found grist of routine busi-
ness waiting his return. The most
important is his annual message to
congress. This probably will be sent
as one document instead of in sections
as last year.
Possibilities OF an extra session are
discussed in animation everywhere
Many democrats are convinced there
will be one.

CAPITAL TALKING
: OF new CABINET

Washington, Nov. 7-Cabinet max
ers are already busy conjuring with
lanes of those who will share with
Wilson in shaping the policy of the
next administration. Necessarily their
work is purely gossip, but the cabinet
builders are none the less active in
pointing out the persons and the ele
ments available as cabinet material
One of the available elements en-
braces those who were conspicuous
party figures at the Baltimore conven-
ton, including Speaker Clark, Chair
man Underwood of the ways and
means committee, William Jennings
Bryan, Governor Foss of Massachu-
sctts, Governor Harmon of Ohio and
scme others. 1t is generally assumed,
however, that Speaker Clark and
Chairman Underwood would prefer
to continue their work in congress, es-
pecially now that the legislative pro-
gram on the tariff and other questions
is likely to meet with fewer obstacles.
AS to Mr.. Bryan, one of the demo-
cratic senators was quoted during the
campaign as definitely assigning Mr..
Bryan to a cabinet place in case of
| Wilson's election, although the latter
said about the same time that no con-
| sideration had been given to the per-
/ sonnel of the cabinet. None the less,
/ speculation is active as to whether the
! Nebraskan will have a portfolio.
Another element from which cabinet
material is being suggested embraces
/ those who have been prominently iden-
/ titled with the Wilson campaign. not
ably Chairman McCombs of the demo
cratic national committee, Represen-
tstives Burleson and Henry of Texas,
Representative Palmer of Pennsyl-
yania, Assistant Chairman McAdoo and
a number of others who bore the brunt
of the conflict at Baltimore and dur,
ing the campaign.
Still another available element is
made up of prominent party figures in
the various states who were not con,
spIcuously identified with the recent
national convention and campaign
while another includes some of the vet
Grams of the last democratic admins
tration
Outside Of these usual elements
from which cabinets are constructed
many foresee the entry of consider
able new element in public affairs
made up of men like Mr. Wilson, who
have been identified with collegiate
educational and the economic study o.
public questions. This opens a wid'
field of available material.
All of this activity of cabinet max
, inE is necessarily confined to GOSSIP
and conjecture, and though names arr
likely to be put forward from now on
nothing authoritative is expected I'm
, til the president-elect himself has il
his own way and time given matur,
consideration to those who will max
. up his official household

feature proposed is the maintenance

FEELING AGAINST sTANDPATs.
An indication of t4F strong feeling
aroused against thfEllinois sandpat-
