BONAPARTE SEES
WATTERSON JOKE
Former Attorney General Replies
to Kentucky Editor and
Quotes DR.. Watt. "

Baltimore. Nd. Jan. u.-Former At
torney General Charles J. Bonaparte was
taken aback to-day when he learned that
a few rays from the hmelight Of the
Wilson-Harvey controversy had been di-
rected upon him by Henry Watterson in
his latest comment upon Gov. Wilson
Mr.. Bonaparte seemed amused at Col.
Wattersons statement, made late last
night. that Baltimoreans expect TO go
TO Charlie Bonaparte when they die"
He said:
Il fear Col watterson hasn't been in
Baltimore as often as he ought TO have
been of late years. Had he seen more
OF our people, and especially Of our poll
ticians. he would have found out, sus-
pect, that a good many Baltimoreans
have no great desire TO go 10 Charhe

ever may be their wishes or eNpecta-

after death.
"Of course, the little difference between
Gov. Wilson and the two colonels is none
of my funeral, and have not paid much
attention to it; but I hope they Will all
remember that DR.. Watts advice not to

symposiums are a fixed feature.
1t was hailed with JOY by the loyal
Taft supporters as indicating that there
was no break between the President and
his Postmaster General, who was the
chairman Of his campaign, 1t was evi-
dent, too. that administration admirers
were taking pains to impress the doubt
ing ones with the insistent prediction
that the Postmaster General would con-
tinue on the visiting list and be in accord
political and personal with all that
is projected from now on for the Presi-
dents second campaign
1t was intimatsd that Hitchcock's visit
to New York may have been to bring
about an amicable understanding with
Roosevelt, as It is probable that they
met, and II may be Hitchcock who shall
effect a final word from a former Presi-
dent-a word that will confuse his own
friends and the Presidents foes.
Indeed. the Hitchcock handling Of
things with the contributing editor of
the Outlook is viewed with tptoe ex-
pectation here in Washington few days

Though his condition is critical and his

Conventions were invented by earnest
men, engaged in the same line Of busi-
ness, for the purpose OF gathering to-
gether with various menus prepared by
the entertaining city.
At first only the politicians held con-
ventions. These affairs. however, proved
so popular, and did the politicians SO
much good. that the idea spread rapidly
into other lines Of business. Nowadays,
every one convenes. Governors hold con-
ventlons. So do State-house tanitors.
The religions OF the earth meet in vast
gatherings, and England the United
States and Madagascar scrap for the
privilege of being the next host The
athletes of the world convene In Olym-
mic games. The doctors, lawyers, and
undertaISers have their national societies.
So do the interior decorators, the canary
breeders the fRurehead carvers, the vac
uIIm cleaners. the amalgamated organ
pumpers the American Institute OF Ple
Bakers, the students OF the third Latin
conjugation, the brass railing pohshers:
the opponents OF the long ballot, and OF
the Nortb carolina poplar. the tarpon
catchers- the Iourneymen dynamiters, the
survivors of Grover Cleveland's speeches.
and innumerabIe other bodies. Practical
ly the only unorganiZed profession In the
United states, Is that of ex-Pres:dents.
And even now a determined effort by
the Democrats is being made to recruit
the ranks of this profession with view
TO enabling it to convene successruiiy
somewhere far from washington
The object Of most conventions is to
elect of3cers and choose meeting place
for the next year. Entertaining conven-
tions is one Of the greatest American
Industries. After a city has entertained
4 few hundred conventions you can dis
cover its hotel keepers by their diamond
suspender buttons. Conventions are
usually let out TO the highest bidder ana
bile ride around the city, steamboat ex-
cursion, a smoker. and a two-pound
badge, together with speech from the
mayor to land the shyster and most diff
fident body.

States II the nomination is offered to
him, according to former State Senator
Finn. who several days ago had a
lengthy interview with the colonel SEN

vas in conference with several of his
political allies. Asked the development
of his conference with Roosevelt, he
said:
IF the nomination Is offered to Col
Roosevelt, he will accept and campaign
for the office"
Asked II Col. Roosevelt had authorized
a statement relative to his position, SEN
ntor Finn said:
Mr.. Roosevelt will issue a statement
for himself in the near future anent his
position. This will be to the effect that
he will not seek the nomination, but that
II II is shown that he is wanted and the
honor is offered to him he will feel it
incumbent upon himself to accept"
Senator Finn. asked again il this was
Col. Roosevelt's declaration, would not
assert that he was quoting Roosevelt.
but reiterated his declaration that the
colonel would issue his own bulletin out
lining his position in the near future.
Il am certain the colonel will accept
the nomination, but maybe" said the
senator, you had better wait for his
own statement"
The Pennsylvania organization, accord
ing to Senator Finn, will not wait for
the formal declaration, but will open its
campaign for Roosevelt for President

Continued from Page One.

What makes the situation all the more
exasperatfng for Mr.. Nagel is the fact
that McHarg was at one time his assist
ant in the Department Of Commerce and
Labor.
Hitchcock Suspected.
There have been a good many reports
recently that members of the Cabinet
were suspicious Of Mr.. Hitchcock's 10y
atty TO Mr. Taft. and these reports have
been based partly on the activity OF Nc
Harg, who was one OF Hitchcock's con-
fidential men in the Taft campaign. 1t
was denied authoritatively yesterday that
any member of the Taft Cabinet had laid
charges before the President in regard to
Hitchcock.
Members Of the Cabinet, as well as the
public generally, have speculated as to
the motives which have actuated Mr..
Hitchcock's peculiar actions recently, and
it is believed that Mr.. Hitchcock will
eventually retire from the Taft Cabinet.
Mr.. Taft's closest advisers insisted yes
terday that as matters not stood the
President would not call upon Mr.. Hitch
cock for his resignation.
