phone monopoly that reaches al over

the manufacture Of Bell telephone ar

tract was entered into between the
local telephone company and the cleo
trical company, both Of them owned
by the Bell monopoly, whereby the
local company agreed to purchase all

Another attack on the ordinance
recently passed by the City Council
prohibiting railroad companies from
displaying advertising matter in their
cars, was made on Monday in a bill
filed in the Circuit Court by the Chi.
cago & Western Indiana Railroad
Company. The bill is. directed against
the city and asks that the ordinance
be declared null and void.
Mayor Harrison indicated that he
would not interfere with the cold stor.
age ordinance, which has been pro.
tested against by various dealers in
products.
II think that the interests of the
public in the measure are greater
than the interests of big business, -
said the mayor. Unless there Is
something legally wrong with the
measure I will not interfere With the
ordinance at ALL"
Corporation Counsel Sexton will
confer with the mayor about the ordi.

Judge Dunno, In a speech at Pekin,

gers of the Wilson campaign expect
to capture sufficient delegates to give
their candidate strength of from
30 to 4C0 votes on the first ballot.
). ea@er Clark cannot, if he secures
half of the delegates from the states
yet to act, have over AIS instructed
for him on the first ballot
According to a statement issued
from Governor Wilson's headquarters
~lich gives an analysis of the race
between Clark and Wilson in New Jer-
Soy the executive is in the lead by one
vote over the speaker. Wilson is Civ
en- 243, while the speaker is allotted
but 242.
Wilson's strength is divided as fol-
lows: Pennsylvania 76; Oregon 10;
Texas 40; Maine 8; Wisconsin "a;
Oklahoma 10; Illinois 2; Porto Rice
6; Florida 2; South Carolina IS; Del
aware 6; Utah 6; Michigan IS; New
Hampshire 8; Tennessee II. Total
243.
Clarks strength is classed thus:
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1912-05-23

Oklahoma 10; Wisconsin 2; Illinois
Sc; Colorado IL; Nebraska IL; Mis-
souri, SO; Maryland IS; Washington
IA; Kansas 20; Nevada 6; California
%; Wyoming 6; Iowa 26. Total, 242.
1t is noteworthy that the Clark
statements refuse to give Wilson
Pennsylvania, while the Wilson state
ments do not allow Clark Massachu-
sets. The Wilson men assert Massa-
chusetts is in reality instructed for
Foss.
The strength of Majority Leader
Underwood will apparently hold the
balance of power in the Baltimore
convention. He now has "a delegates
instructed for him and his total IS
expected to reach 125 at least before
the convention. His supporters are
makink determined fights in North
Carolina and Virginia and apparently
will pick up a neat contingent from
both these states, even if he does not
receive the preferential vote of either
of them. AS announced several days
ago, the Albanian has the support
Of the organization in Virginia, and
it usually encounters little difficulty
in carrying the Old Domonion accord
ing to it's whims and fancies.
With the acquisition of Idaho, Cali
iornia, California, Washington, Ne
vada and New Mexico, Speaker Clark
has 307 instructed delegates while his
managers claim 6S of the uninstruct-
ed already elected to the convention.
The speakers friends are reasonably
! certain of securing the delegation
from Kentucky but they have struck
a snag in West Virginia. They had
been absolutely certain of the Noun
tain State giving its 16 delegates TO
the speaker, but the Clark organiza-
ton, largely controlled by the ma
jor portion of West Virginia's repre-
sentation in congress, ran afoul Of
National Committeeman John T. Nc
Graw, who is leading the Wilson bat
tie in that state.

Dover, England, May 22.-When a
speeding monoplane appeared in mys-
FERROUS manoeuyers over the little
fishing town of St Margarets, near
here, this morning, the populace at
first were inclined to take alarm
They gathered in the streets and OPP
on places, gazing intently at the I'M
known visitor as his machine swept
in wide, graceful circles over the
town.
Soon, however, the mystery wa
solved. An envelope containing {

the machine. The card read:

IS IT NOW
The field
vs.. CLARK
BEGINS TO LOOK that WAY
Want No One to Loom Bio
on First Ballot

Washington, May 22-As Speaker
Clark's presidential campaign has
made more progress than his rivals
had estimated, the national campaign
managers of the Wilson, Harmon and
Underwood campaigns are now promo
ting compact to fight for uninstrucr-
cd delegates in the state that are yet
to select delegates to the Baltimore
convention.
The object of this policy is to pre-
vent Clark securing a vote on the first
ballot that will bring him within
striking distance of his goal, two
thirds of the strength of the conven-
ton. According to the plans of the
trio of managers opposing the speak
er's selection on the first ballot, it
will be comparatively easy to prevent
Speaker Clark from having a two
thirds vote unless the unforeseen oc-
ours and the speaker corrals the lion
share of the uninstructed delegates.
Governor Wilson's actual strength
in the pre-cOnvention campaign is be-
ing sadly underestimate, especially
by former Senator Dubois, national
manager of the Clark campaign Will
son supporters declare. The former
senator from Idaho has, it is said
been misrepresenting the Wilson
strength almost as much as the ma
tional managers of two leading repub
lican candidates have been misrepre-
senting and discounting the strength
of their respective candidates.
1t is noteworthy, too, Governor Will
sons friends point out, that the Will
son victories in Texas and Pennsyi-
rsnia have been minimized by many
CT the leading newspapers of the ma
ton.
Governor Wilson now has 22S del
egates pledged to his support on the
first ballot while nearly so additional
who are uninstructed, are certain to
unite on the New Jersey executive
upon the second ballot. Out of the
16 states yet to act, the local mana
