Chicago, June 24.-PoWell Clayton, national committeeman from Arkan- sas, the oldest member of tho com mittee and whose membership, with an interval of four years, extends from 1872, was made temporary chairman of the new Republican nat ional committee when that body con vcncd in executive session today in the Coliseum. Ava II. II. Martin of Virginia was named temporary sec retary.
 One of the surprises of the day was the absence of William Allen White of Kansas and the presence of F. 5. Stanley of Kansas in his place.
 It was explained that Committee man White had told the Kansas del- egation he was undecided whether he could support the candidate of the conventions President Taft, and MT. stanley was accordingly chosen las the state committeeman. Stanley, through the pre-convention campaign, was an ardent Roosevelt man. Today he declared that he was willing to act

The city council ought to get rid of that street sweeper or arrange to sprinkle the streets before it is set in motion. There has been enough kicking in the past because of this nuisance and it does look like Mayor Jordan ard the other city officials would respect the wishes of the pub lie and put the old nuisance in the she'd for good, or back it over the river back.

LOOK OUT FOR ROOSEVELT

If the Democrats at Baltimore nom- mate William Jennings Bryan again for the president, which is being talked of in the convention city just many loyal Democrats who are watching developments nowadays, They will sound the death knell to the Democratic party. Colonel Bryan has already declared that if the Democrats do not show a disposl- tion to select some good progressive as temporary chairman, he will be a candidate for the chairmanship him. self.
 Little as one would imagine there are thousands of Democrats who' T Bryan is again forced upon the party as it's standard bearer, will vote the ticket of the National Progressives. Roosevelt, as unsafe and as dramatic as he appears to be, would be more acceptable to the anti-Bryan Demo- cfats than Bryan himself. They would flock to him like bees to honey and 1t would mean the end of the Democratic party and the perfection of the National Progressive party.
 The Democrats at Baltimore are dealing with a touchous proposition, One mistake at this time will prove fatal to party interests and would mean the complete elimination of the magnif cent following tha has come to it in recent months. The Demo- crats as rule beleive in fairness. They are not bolters at heart and seldom break ranks. unless for good and sufficient reason. But IS sure as the leaders permit Colonel Bryan to distate things at Baltimore and bring about d wrangle while harmony is at hand, the good Democrats of the country are going to dissolve partnership" and the natural result 4.wll be asymoye to defeat Taft and Roosevelt willsbe tlie scnly one, to ac;, omtlishi it.

cause an audience has much to do
