EXPECT WATSON

CHICAGO, June 13.--James E.
Watson failed to appear as attor-

was called, despite tie fact it had
been advertised that he would ap-

Watson is on the point of kick

deserving Taft for Roosevelt.

give him membership on any of

of the insult is uncertain, but he
does not want to vote for William

A FEW S|OEL|GHTS OF THE CONVENTION
headquarters at the Congress.

Politicians were amused in the Con-
g ess lobby today when they over
heard an argument on Kansas. 1t was
between Governor Stubs, Roosevelt
booster, and Col. E. J. Crull, Taft
delegate from Round Up, Montana.
The colonel is one of the millionaires
of the Musselshell country district.
Rut he was not always a millionaire,
according to his story and the argu-
mont.
Col Crull, it seems. landed for the
first time in Kansas when he was a
young man and had made a few unfor-
tunate financial moves which left him
in poverty. The result was that he
lost out with the girl he wanted to
marry and drifted on to Montana
where he found more prosperity.
Gov Stubs would not concede a
point disparaging his state and told
his opponent that he should have wait
cd in coming to Kansas until the irri-
gationists had reached the state.
From porter to state senator and
influential politician is the record of
Senator Patrick Sullivan of Casper
Wyo., who arrived at the Auditorium
hotel with Mrs. Sullivan to attend the
convention as a delegate.
Twenty-eight years ago he was a
poor boy in New York. He took Hor-
ace Greely's advice and went west,
and after a struggle procured small
bunch of sheep, which was the begin
ming of his mammoth sheep and cattle
ranch. He has been in the Wyoming

Bill Was Useful.

A minister was assigned to small par
ish in England not long ago and upon his
arrival found his new field of labor all
that could be desired, with the exception
OF old Bill Johnson. Old Bill! was very
much addicted to looking upon wine
when il was red, and the new minister at
once announced his intention OF bringing
him to see the error OF his ways.
"Well, of course, we know you mean
right, parson," one OF the elders said,
slowly stroking his white beard, "but it
would be a mighty bad thing for the
place if Old Bill was to quit drinking"
"Why, what do you mean, brother p
the puzzled minister asked.
"Well, parson, it's like this" the elder
explained. "There amt no more con-
vincing talker nowhere than Old Bill.
Every time he gets drunk and sobers
down he gets somebody to sign the pledge
with him, and the other fellow pretty
nearly always keeps it."
