Senator McNeiI Will Ask Caucus
 Of Democrats

Senator A. McNeil Jr who has been III at his home since Monday feels that there has, not been a. fair chance to determine the wish of the. Democratic Senators-elect with respect to his can didacy for president pro tenn of the Senate His friends do not believe that Haven Tuesday when an informal bal lot was taken showing that Senator Landers of New Britain was the choice of a majority of those present is in- dicative of the real sentiment. He feels that the Senators-elect should be regularly convened in caucus for the purpose of nominating candidate for presidency and to this end he today gave the following interview to a, re- porter of The Farmer.
 Naturally, was surprised at the Senators-elect in resolving themselves into party caucus and taking action in relation to the presidency pro-tem.
 It has always been an established custom that all party caueuses are held the night before the session starts, and had no idea that his pre- cedent would be violated in the inter

 telegram to MT Forster, advising him of my illness For some reason best known to him, he failed to make the contents of this telegram known to my friends or any of the Senators present.
 "A ca;l1cuks was held, and I have been informed a. ballot taken, resulting in Mr.. Landers' selection. Now, do nOf blame SAna -al6xef Ts3n0RTS for aspiring to this honor. He is entitled to. as much consideration as I am, or any other Senator; but I shall very stron gly- protest against the snap ac- ton of this so-caHed caucus.
 Many Senators were absent, among them Senator Dean Foster, one of my best friends and loyal supporter. as well as others who were committed to my candidacy.
 ttI have been advised that a news paper story was read at this caucus, {Senator Landers' town), which was to the effect that had withdrawn from the contest.
 Not one of my friends knew of my illness and those who were fa,vorable to me thought it, strange that I did not attend. Several Senators, who voted for MT. flanders, have assared prehension. believing me to have from the race
 There appeared no one at the s.aLu- they did, who cared to make my Sen atOrfa1 colleagues acquainted with 1t.
 Certainly a caucus of this kind, of which Senators were not notified, can to get out. of my bed. I shall demand 1 a legal caucus, called in the proper | way, and every Senator notified for what purpose 1t is to be held.
 ssIf MT I4anders is then elected, I shall be among the first to grasp his hand and congratulate him.

 RUSSIA BACKS DOWN.
 Berlin, Nov. 14.-The danger of a general European clash over the partition of European Turkey was considered practically ended, today
 Officials were, of course, careful not to say so, but it was the general impression that Russia was over awed by the German and Austrian display of strength and doubtful of the support it was likely to get from England and France.
 Otherwise, it was felt certain the Czar would have insisted on an Adria- tic outlet for Servia as then nothing could have prevented Austria from a resort to arms

SAYS SOUTH LIKES GAYN0R
Mayor Is Second Choice with
Alabama's Governor.

Mayor Gaynor would be most acceptable
to the South as Democratic candidate for
the Presidency" said Governor Emmett
O'Neal OF Alabama yesterday after ne had
spent an hour with the Mayor in his private
office.
"Of course We are for Underwood In
Alabama" added the Governor. HE already
has our delegates, those from Georgia, Flor
ida and Mississippi, and We believe that he
will have moro before the convention meets
In Baltimore: but in case he should not be
able to get enough votes for the nomi-
nation We would think very favorably Of
Mayor Gaynor as a compromise candidate"
Governor O'Neal said that before Mayor
Gaynor announced he was not a candidate
for the nomination his name was heard as
a possibility In all parts Of the South. He
would poll large vote there" said the
Governor, land we believe he would carry
New York State. We understand that It
is most important for the success Of any
candidate to be able to carry this great
state OF yours"
Although he did not say so, Governor
ONeal intimated that Underwood's chances
would be stronger If President Taft should
Dt lilhH IL hl'
should get the Republican nomination. In
the latter case, according to his reasoning,
Mayor Gaynor might be considered stronger
material.
Mr.. Underwood would be the logical man
to oppose President Taft" said the Gov
ernor President Taft vetoed the Under
wood bills for the reform of the tariff, and
the tariff IS to be the one big issue in this
campaign. The initiative and referendum
and the recall of judges are state issues"
The Governor thought the general i'm
preston prevailed in the South that Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson was too ready to
change his political principles and that It
had hurt him among the people there
The primary reason for his visit to Mayor
Gaynor, Governor ONeal said, was TO con-
suit with him in regard to the proposed
reorganization of the judiciary and the
methods OF Jurisprudence In Alabama.
THE Mayor IS a leading advocate Of the
reform Of expedting tho progress OF JUS
tice," said the Governor. I'VE deplore the
reversals in many legal cases because Of
merely technical reasons. We are also con.
s!dering the wisdom OF providing some sort
Of penalty I'm criminal cases to those who
lose their case when they seek reve-sals.
The Mayor seemed to be In sympathy with
our ideas on both subjects"

WASHINGTON.

Two state conventions were heio at
Aberdeen on May 10. The cause OF oi-
vision was the contest from Pierce
County, with 12S delegates. A Roose-
welt delegation from that county was
elected at a direct primary while
Taft delegation was elected by the indi-
rect method. The Taft convention or
ganized by the state committee con-
tanned 4SS delegates. The Roosevelt
convention contained $50 delegates. Each
seems to have elected fourteen delegates
at-large, although there should have
been only eight elected at large and SIX
by three district conventions. Informa-
ton about the proceedings at Aberdeen
is meagre, and the states fourteen dele
gates are necessarily put in the uncom-
mitted column.
