Missouri the rest of his life. He didn't
care to forfeit the last claim on the
respect of his party or his fellow citi-
zens; and he would not stand for the
deal.
Yet it was exactly what the Taft
people did in Indiana. There, they
used their control of the State COM
mittee to seat the fraudulent Taft dele
cation in Marion county. Thus getting
control of the convention, they elected
Charles Warren Fairbanks a delegate
at large.
Mr.. Fairbanks, like Secretary Nagel,
did not regard the receiving of stolen
goods as compatible with the dignity
of his position before the American peo-
pie. HE REFUSED TO SERVE AS
DELEGATE AT LARGE.
There was dense gloom about the

Last nights dispatches indicated that
the thing was going through as
smooth as goose grease. 1t would
have done so, too, but for Secretary

Is already one of the interesting spec
