W. H. L. Pepperell, the veteran sec
rotary of the committee, was an early
arrival He said; L do not like to
take sides until after the state meet
ing, but personally l believe Kansas is
for Clark
Pepperel is a candidate for state
chairman and has strong support for
that honor.
w. P. FEEDER of Great Bend. who
win likely make the race for lieuten-
ant governor. is here today. FEEDER is
another Clark man. He is elated over
the showing made by the Democrats
in his district in the election of Neeley
to congress. FEEDER comes from Bar
ton. one of the banner Democratic
counties in the state. I'VE have won
the right to the state convention for
Hutchinson" said FEEDER.
Frank Thomas. the Topeka Demo-
crat, and original Clark man. is feel
ing fine over the latest Wilson
break" as he calls it. Wilson is a
dead one now in Kansas. said
Thomas.
Thomas is in favor of an instructed
delegation for Clark. It is a notice
able fact that Dem ocrats and Republi-
cans are all agreed that the Wilson
break with Harper's Weekly was a
foolish and costly political bIunder.
If the schoolmaster throws his old
friend the editor of Harper's in this
fashion, the politicians argue that he
is not to be trusted any jump in the
road.
Judge Thompson Here.
Judge W. H. Thompson of Garden
City, is another early bird at the Dem
ocratic gathering. Judge Thompson
has the support of the Seventh district
for the nomination for United States
senator and the support of Clark men
generally over the state. The judge
wrote and introduced the Clark resell
utionS at the Dodge convention and is
a strong man in the short grass coun-
try. He has twice carried a Republi-
can judicial district aginst over
whelming odds and he cuts ice out
west with a buzz saw attached to a
200-horsepower motor The judge is
quiet and assuming and has the pleas
ATTEST smile ia the world. He is a de-
ceiving opponent as Farrelley will find
out Il he has the little judge to buck
at the next primary This man Thomp-
son works for a political goal like
the May sunshine on pile of snow,
which is to say quietly, steadily, re-
lentlessly. He gains support from both
parties and all factions.
He brings home the votes in alright

KILLING A BOOM


Then Judge Ewing goes on to tell
how Col. Harvey, through editorials in
Harper's Weekly championed the cause
of Woodrow Wilson for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination. Many
not knowing the real Importance of Col
Harvey the statement declares and
seeking to harm the Wilson cause, be-
gan to indulge in all sorts OF conjec-
lures, in unfounded intimations
AS a result a number of Wilson'S real
friends began to be of the opinion that
perhaps the WeskIy's earnest support
was initiating against his (Wilson's)
prospects.
Judge Ewing declares Governor Will
sons opinion was decidedly contrary
to this view, approaching that Col. Har-
Vey had brought him to the front, ap-
preciating HarVey's support and feel
ing it to be valuable
Then followed the meeting in New
York of Wilson. Harvey and Waiter
SON Judge Ewing dc 1lares at the close
CT the conference Col. Harvey arose
and said to Governor Wilson: 'I wish
to ask you question and I expect a
frank answer: Do you believe that the
booming nature of my articles in Har-
per's Weekly is injuring your cause %
Judge Ewir.g says Governor Wilson's
friendship for Harvey demanded that
the governor answer in the negative to
the query but that Col Harvey had
demanded frankness and that Governor

of Harper's Weekly. And Judge Ew-

He May Not Reply.
Detroit, Jan. 19.=Before leaving
Detroit Governor Wilson said he had
had no opportunity as yet to give to
the statement of Colonel Henry Wat
terson the consideration that it de-
manded- He said he was unlikely to
issue any statement concerning this
matter during his present tour He
said he was not in the habit of issuing
statements and might make no reply.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Jan. 19.-'I have

Governor Woodrow Wilson today

Robert Ewing concerning the Colonel

also refused to discuss the Waterson
case. He addressed the university

no defense to offer. They did send out
a letter from Senator New1ands to a
professor but which does not refer in
any way to the incident that consti-
tutes the chief topic of conversation
among Democratic politicians.
Among Prof. Wilson's former boost
ers there is a feeling of regret, first,
that the incident should have happen

public.

Wilson, he said, had acted like
very hero in the interview with Har-

he and Harvey must part sooner or
later, despite the fact that they had
Travelled very pleasantly along the po-
uticaI path up to the present time.
When at last Harvey asked him if
he, Wilson, thought that the Harvey
support would hurt him, Wilson fold
ed his arms, looked Harvey squarely
in the eye and replied, more in sor-
row than in anger, that he thought 1t
would.
Wilson and all his friends regarded as
the absolute height of heroism.

senate and house were busy with such
passages as:

Colonel Watterson will reach here
this afternoon and is expected to re-
late the conversation between Wilson
and Harvey more in detail to all Dem
ocrats who wish to hear it, There are
many such in the capital.

The situation was strained few
days ago and a red hot time promised
for the committee meeting tonight
But the break made by Wilson in
the Harpers Weekly matter and the
call down by Col. Henry Watterson
puts him out of the running in Kan
sas, according to the Clark men. The
fight over the convention date will
therefore not be so bitter. The Clark
men are feeling too good over recent
developments to fear Wilson very much
now. Still they will insist upon the
convention being held upon some other
date than that of the Wilson visit to
