OFF FOR PANAMA.
David HiIner and D. J. Burke to In
spect the Big Ditch.

David Hilger and Mrs. Hilger and
d. J. Burke, the Well-known railway
contractor, will leave here Saturday
for New Orleans, where Mrs. Hilger
will visit with her sister, Mrs. N. l..
Landru From New Orleans Messrs.
Hilger and Burke will leave for
Panama on Jan. 20, sailing on the
Parismina. The party will go under
the auspices of the American Institute
of Engineers and will be chaperoned
all through the canal zone by govern.
ment engineers. The delegation from
Montana will include, in addition to
the LewistOwn men, f. C. Day, the
eminent Helena lawyer; M. II. Gerry,
ject, and J. s. M. Neill. The party
will be composed OF prominent men,
mostly engineers, from all parts of
the country, and will return to New
Orleans from the canal on Feb. 6.
Mr.. Burke is expected to do the
honors for Montana in this eminent
company. Dave Hilger has arranged
to have Mr.. Burke give a few lectures
for the benefit of the engineers and
that gentleman ordered full-dress
Quilt for the auspiciOus occasion. Mr..
Burke is sure to deeply impress all be-
holders when he appears in his claw
hammer, ct cetera, especially the lat
ter. Those who have only seen I'D. j."
in his canvas storm clothes, driving
his Hupmobile through a. blizzard,
have little conception as to the ap-
pearance he will make when, with his
marble dome duly sandpapered, he
comes out in full dress. On such Oc-
casions I'D. j." is the personification
Of stately dignity and has Chesterfield
backed right up into the garret for
courtiy manners and the savoir faire
that marks the corps diplomatiuque.

SWlNDlER WHO FLOODED TOWN
WITH WORTHLESS CHECKS
GETS Fifteen MONTHS.
LYONS IS SURRENDERED
Sureties Withdraw Charged With
Bieamy, It Appears That His Mar.
riaGe With Iowa Woman Was of
the Common Law variety-Other
Court Matters.

Harold Simpson, the young swindler
who flooded the town with worthless
checks signed by himself and his wife
one busy Saturday afternoon some
weeks ago and took the train out Sun
day with fat roll contributed by Lew
penitentiary, where he will have
fifteen months, less time allowances
for good behavior, to reflect on the
mess he has made Of his life at the
age Of uwenty-one. Simpson, who at
one time attended school here, re-
turned early last fall and, posing as
an advertising solicitor, lived by his
wits until he made this haul Of some
thing like $500, and then skipped. In
Iowa his wife, or alleged wife, skipped
out with another man, and on top of
that came his arrest, the particular
offense charged being the forgery Of
check for something over $50, which
he cashed at the Day House.
He pleaded guilty before Judge Il.
K. Cheadle Thursday last, and after
the court had held an extended con.
versation with him, he was given
fifteen months.
Lyons Surrendered.
FELTON, K. Lyons, the telegraph
operator who was arrested some time
ago on charge Of bigamy, was sur
rendered by his bondsmen, one of
them his brother-in-law, and was
placed back in the county Jail. Lyons

| Mrs. Lyons No. I, who caused the
mans arrest, came on here from Sioux
City. Iowa, and confronted him in the
county attorneys office. Lyons made
the claim that he was never married
to the Iowa woman by any ceremony
but she related that it was a common
law marriage, entered into by hel
through his representations. Her tes
tlmony was taken by deposition, as
well as that of her sister, and both re
turned to Iowa some time ago.

A Clark-Wilson Combination.


now.
A Clark-WilsOn Combination.
Wilson men say that a ticket COM
posed of Wilson and Clark would
sweep the country, while Clark mon
insist that Clark and Wilson would
be lnvincible. The suggestion of Mr.
Josepnus Daniels, of North Carolina.
that the man before the convention
, Who runs nearest the winner he
named for second place has been TAX
en- up IN earnest by the delegates, and
If the geographical conditions are all
hght this may be done, inspite of
what the candidates say.
The Wilson men would be satisfied
with Governor Marshall, of Indiana
as running mate for their chief, or
Governor Burke, of North Dakota. or
even Governor Harmon. Thick would
prefer Representative Underwood, of
Alabama, to any other, although they
think an East-and-West combination
tould be better than an East-an1-
south combination Representative
Henry, of Texas, would also, to their
mind, make a good running mate for
the New Jersey governor.
MnrtlH
The Clark men would like to have
Governor Foss, of Massachusetts,, or
covednor Baldwin, of Connecticut, #
they cannot get Governor Wilson to
go on the ticket with Clark. They are
not especially enthusiastic about the
Preston idea, feeling that they need
{, man who would give strength to the
ticket in sections where Clark is not
strong. They would like to have
Mayor Gaynor, but the mayor has said
i is reported that he would not ac-
tept the second place and would pre-
fer to be mayor of Greater New York
than to be vice president.
The Gaynor peoples answer to the
Clark-Gaynor suggestion is to suggest
a Gaynor-Clark ticket Beyond that
they are not concerning themselves
about the vice presidency; anybody
from the west or south-Burke, Mar
shall or Underwood-would suit them
Wilson Would Suit Harmon Men.
Harmon men would like it the best
thing in the world, should their man
be named for first place, to have Will
son named for the second place. They
see in such a combination a ticket
which they believe would sweep the
country 1t would attract conserya-
tives and radicals alike Both men
have won in strong republican states
The candidates will undoubtedly
have to make a vigorous campaign
throughout the country, and Wilson
on a Harmon ticket, it is pointed ou;,
would give the ticket a strength it
would need. Harmon is notably poor
performer on the stump. There )
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1912-06-27

good. solid meat in his speeches when
read, but his delivery poor.
On the other hand, Wilson is unques-
tionably one of the ablest speakers
in the country. Before an audience
be is magnetic and convincing. There
is lucdity and clearness about his
statements that make the most alb
struse political problem plain to his
hearers. AS campaigner he is in the
class with Bryan and Roosevelt, and
is more convincing than either c
sequently, it would be nuts for the
Harmon ticket to get Wilson on it,
The only trouble about the combina-
ton is that Wilson will not take sec
ond place. 1t is believed he would
rather be president of a big univer-
sity.

mering. 1t would be a confession Of
weakness, and confessions of tina.
character are decidedly unpopular lust
now
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1912-06-27
A Suggestion of Swanson.

Failing of Wilson, the Harmon mer
would be satisfied with Foss, Baldwin
Burke, or Underwood. Swanson, OF
Virginia, has been suggested as a
good running mate for Harmon. He
is an ables peaker and good cam
paigner, and that is what the Harmon
ticket must have.
. So it goes.
The Underwood men are not TALKING
about the vice presidency. Anyone
will suit us" they say. I'VE have
enough to thing about in lining up
these favorite son states for our man
for second presidential choice, and in
showing the delegates now for the
other candidates that our man S the
one to whom to turn when they get in
to a deadlock We have a winner and
we are trying to convince the dele
gates of that"
A vice presidential boom seriously
talked of yesterday was that of Rep
resentative William Sulzer, of New
York He the second candidate sug-
gested for the honor from Ne WORK
the first being Representative William
A. Redfield, of Brooklyn.
Mr.. Sulzer has gained many friends
among labor organizations b yhis dec
larationsJ"In my judgment, no man in
this country ought to be compelled 70
work more than eight hours day, ,
and 81 will do all in my power to adj
vance their interests" tt is on this
sentiment and his work as chairman
