vARDAMAN SAYS IT'S CLARK.
Break i'm the Underwood Vote Is Elk
pected

Baltimore, June 29-"Mr. Clark
will be the nominee of this convention
He has received majority of the
votes cast and his defeat now would
be outside of all precedent" said
Senator-elect Vardanan of Mississippi.
soon after arriving at Convention hall
today.
The Mississippi delegation is in
structed for Underwood, but Varda-
man expressed the opinion that those
instructions had been sufficiently COM
piled with and confidently asserted
there soon would be a change that
would insure the acting of at least
majority of the vote of that delega-
ton of the Missourian.
You can quote me as saying that
there will be an increase in Mr..
Clark's vote from Michigan said
Committeeman Wood of that state. ''I
think it will be about from to 10;
I have heard that Ohio will give 20
votes for Clark this afternoon
The delegates from North Carolina
and from other southern states ex-
pressed similar views as to Mr.. Clarks
prospects. The fact that a majority
of the convention has shown a prefer
ence for him is having strong influence
on many of the members and they said
that unless exceptional reasons can be
shown against him they will add their
votes to his strength.
Senator Bankhead of Alabama, Mr..
Underwood'S manager, would not con-
cede the growing popularity of the
Clark boom, but on the other hand
profeSSed greater confidence in Mr.
Underwood's chances than at any time
since the convention began. He was
confident that there would be gem
eral breaking up of alignments soon
after the beginning of bailoting today
and that Alabama's candidate would
become the beneficiary of the changed
condition

KISSED AND MADE UP
 IN MAGISTRATES COURT

Chief Magistrate J. A. Frazier, of Vaugine township, yesterday set new precedent in the disposition of a case and his example may be followed by other learned jurists on supreme benches of other states.
 Josie Henderson presented herself to Magistrate Frazier yesterday morn Ing. Josie's face was as long as her arm and she told such pitiful story of her inhuman treatment at the hands of her husband that when she finished the soft hearted magistrates coat tail was wet with tears.
 "We'll get him for assault and bat tery," said the Magistrate, and forth W tn made out warrant and sent Deputy Constable D. w. Stewart af- CT the inhuman husband. The hus- band was brought before the bar of justice and the Magistrate gazed up- on him with solemn mien.
 With the appearance or the nus band, whose name is Joe, the wife had a change of heart and before the fearing was half over she had told new story which wasn't half so pa- tbetic as the first one, relieving her husband of most of the blame and ad- hitting that she had exaggerated con- ,iderably.
 Magistrate Frazier metaphorically ,icked himself for letting his sympa- ,hy get away with him so he informed ,he husband and wife that if they yould kiss each other in the presence If the court he would discharge them' providing they could pay the consta- ole's cost.
 They were game and after making sound like a mule pulling ms 1oo' ,ut of the mud the Magistrate clo them "go thy way and sin no more'
