Wilson campaign in this section.
The definite announcement Of WILL

the national committee. that Joseph E.
Davies Of Wisconsin. the secretary Of
the committee. had been selected to
run things from the Chicago head
quarters spiked the hopes of the vet
Grams.
Political debutantes," as one Of the
old timers put it, will make the fight
for the democratic standard bearer.
News received from Seagirt during the
day confirmed reports that Mr.. Davies
is to have practically his own way.
His suggestion that the seven west
ern members OF the Wilson board Of
directors be assigned as his aids has
been approved and Governor Wilson
already has designated some Of the
men who will be bureau chiefs in the
Chicago camp.
Produces Letter From Wilson.
Mr.. Davies produced letter from
Governor Wilson to show the Chicago

Chairman McAdoo and Senator Gore
passed over as immaterial the party
factional differences in Illinois, the
Oklahoman asserting the national or
ganization was color blind to local
divisions"
They refused to view as serious the
failure Of the Sullivan and Hearst
Harrison elements to agree on a har-
mony plan and declared they had been
assured of united loyalty to the Will
son Marshall ticket, the only matter in
which they We're concerned.
Mr.. Sullivan was one of the callers
on the new party chieftains and Mr..
McAdoo announced his intention Of
paying his respects to Mayor Harrison

Roosevelt together. don't believe Taft
will lead Roosevelt in four states west
Of the Mississippi, nor do believe the
president will carry two Of those
states.
In the east, while think Taft will
be our principal opponent, Col. Roose-

big republican states. He may lead
Taft in some Of these states, but I
don't figure he can carry more than
one or two.

chance in the fifth. can not be more

Gore Sees Democratic Congress.
Senator Gore said the democrats will

I'm fact there is no way in higher
mathematics to figure Governor Will
sons defeat unless the democrats
should forget that an election is to be
held" he declared.
Thomas Owen of Muskogee, Okla. a
relative Of Senator Gore, and Robert
Ewing Of New Orleans were the first
