Franklins whole attitude in pro

When Darrow was on the stand he
appeared to be speaking the truth,

truth. Question Darrw for awhile
and you can not tell whether he is
speaking the truth or not"

Hutton's charge follows. and the

"It is an utter folly, gentlemen"
began Fredericks opening his ad-

person than the attorneys in the
Mcnamara trial had the handling OF
the money and committed these brib-
cries Nobody else would waste
time and money bribing jurors who
might not be accepted when they

Their supply of money was very

SPRINGMEYER IS
AN ASPIRANT FOR
TWO OFFICES
WANTS ATTORNEY GENERAL.
SHIP ALSO CONGRESS ON
BULL MOOSE TICKET

Here is genuine problem for
the w.seacres TO ponder over and
find solution.
Suppose George springmeyer, can
dldate for congress on the bull
moose ticket, wins the election and
the supreme court OF the state of
Nevada also decides that he is
entitled 10 the office Of attorney
general for which he now has a
contest in that court, can he hold
both positions2
II he can not hold both positions
which office will he be compelled to
take'
In the event OF the contested cleo
ton case being decided in favor of
springmeyer, Baker would be de-
clared as usurping the position and
naturally would be Immediately
thrown out, That would leave the
office vacant and with Springmeyer
spouting in the halls of congress
there would be no one legally quail
fled to FIJI the position.
The fact that Springmeyer may
get either office is purely a suppo'
sition but he is running for one
and is contesting for the other and
In the event of success crowninf
both his efforts he would be placed
IN rather strange situation.
The problem presented itself viii

LAND MEN OF

HERE ON VISIT

SETTLERS TO THEIR GROW

f. w. Jordan and o. C. Knight
Of Boise. Idaho. representing the
Idaho Title & Trust Co.. have spent
the last three days in Tonopah in
teryiewing the people of this camp
with regard to the disposition OF a
new tract Of land, recently opened
up and thrown on the market. The
land is located within a mile and
half of the center of Boise and from
the manner in which the lots have
been purchased by the residents Of
that city. it appears to be choice
location.
Messrs. Jordan and Knight have
"a carefully prepared lot OF statis-
tics, showing that Boise. since the
1910 census, has grown POI per
cent and is still growing. The firm
they represent is endeavoring to at
tract people to Idaho to take advan.
tage of the reclamation work now
being carried out, and to do this
have set aside a number Of the lots
in the new district, for outside pur
chasers, irrespective Of the fact but
little trouble has been experienced
in selling lots in other tracts to th'
people of that state.
Messrs. Jordan and Knight expec
to remain in Tonopah for week o
ten days.

GREAT SHOW OF
AERIAL SPECIALISTS.


The coming of the splendid organi
cation of Sun Brothers Worlds Pro
|gressive Shows to Columbia on Wed
lesday, April "a, will be the feature
event of the season. This years pro.
gram is catalogued with surfeit of
many new, amazing, high-class acts.
A novelty will be the introduction of

great amphitheatres of the old coun-
cry and supplemented by Americas
elading gymnasts. Every rev,
unique, thrilling, daring and hign air
attempt will be presented.

CHAMP CLARK.

Gel. Grant once said that the
democrats could always be depended
upon to "act the fool at the right
time" And if Champ Clark should
be nominated for President at the
Baltimore convention this opinion
would appear well justified. The
Overwhelming majority given Clark
by the democrats of Illinois has given
new impetus to his Presidential
boom and his nomination would not
be surprising. He is by long odds
the favorite of the three members OF
the anti-Wilson alliance. He now
has d big lead for the nomination.
Clark is a good politician, makes
a fairly good congressman and is a
vely agreeable speaker of the House
But Clark lacks much of being Presi.
dental timber. He is all sorts of a
|demagogue. No matter what the oc-
casio his speeches SAVIOR of the
kind that made him famous and
popular in the back woods districts
OF Missouri. He is sophmoric and
fiambouyant in his speeches. He is
also lacking in constancy of convic-
ton. A few years ago he was a
rank free trader and boosted that
II he had his way he would level
every custom house in the land. As
a candidate for President he is very
far from being even strict tariff
for-rCvenue-only democrat
Clark is not great thinker, the
fact is many of his public utterances
appear sadly lacking in thought and
preparation. For some of them he
has found repeated explanations
necessary This was notably the
case about his speech on reciprocity
with Canada, a thoughtless utterance
that professionally proved fatal to
the ratification of that most herefi-
cial piece of legislation. He has re-
Gently given expression to a demo-
gogic speech about the "tyrany OF
the Presidential veto" and made the
far fetched comparison of the Presi-
dent to a king. No man should be
rejected to the chief magistry of this
nation who does not have the cour-
age and the conviction to use the
veto power vested in the president
by tie constitution whenever in his
judgment the public welfare requires
1t. It will be unfortunate for demo-
cracy If Clark is the nominee for
President.

cULLOM's DEFEAT.

The defeat of Senator Shelby M.
Cullom in the Illinois primaries will
remove from the Senate of the Unit
ed States another of the long ser
vice Senators. In point of service
Cullom is now the oldest member of
that body. On March 4 next he will
CONF ete his fifth term in the Sen
ate, having served since 1883. At
the beginning of the session of the
sixty second Congress the late Will
liam P. Frye was the senior member
of the Senate, but his death gave
that distinction to Mr.. Cullom. Many
will regret the latter's defeat AL
though not an exceptionally able
man, Cu'lom has been most useful
and conscientious legislator. He is
an honest man and no scandal taints
his senatorial service.
Shelby M. Cullom has had long
and distinguished public career. He
was Presidential elector on the Fill
more ticket in 1856 and has been
continuously in public life ever since.
His period of public service is long
er thar that Of any Uther in the
country. For more than fifty-six
years he has been an active factor in
the affairs of his state and during
thirty six years has been a member
of congress, having been three times
elected to the lower house. Four
terms he served in the Illinois legis-
latule and was one time speaker Of
the House of Representatives. He
serve1 six years as Governor of ILL.,
nois and was repeatedly a delegate
to republican national conventions.
He has always been staunch repub-
lican and was one Of the charter
members of that historic party. He
was too loyal to the history and prin-
ciples of the party to embrace the
new tangled progressive" ideas of
the day and to that fact is attribut-
Led his defeat. His retirement will
leave Gallinger of New Hampshire
TIRE senior member of the Senate, the
latter having entered that body In
ass1.
