HONEST

Carson, New. June 2o.--Gov. TasSer L..
Odde and George Wingneld, recently ap-
pointed but not formally qualified to fill
the vacancy in the United States Sem
ate caused by the death of Senator George
S. Nixon, crossed the boundaries of the
state yesterday and Mr.. Wngfleld there
by nearly lost his chance to don his
toga. That he did not was due to the
refusal of Lieutenant Governor Gilbert
Ross, democrat, to ascede to the wishes
of a group of politicians who attempted
to railroad" a democrat into the Senate
as a successor to the late Senator Dixon,
a republican,
Governor eddie and Mr.. Wingfield are
republicans. Learning mat the governor
was out of the state, opponents of Wing
field hastily consulted attorneys and find
ing their view that a vacancy In the
Senate still exists, they called on Acting
Governor Ross, who promptly declined
TO act
'T do not believe IN snap judgment
in political Matters" said Ross.
Nor do / know of a democrat qualified
for the position who would take advan-
tage of the circumstances to defeat the
governors wishes said Ross.

FIRST UNDERWOOD MEETING

From the Baltimore Sun (Monday)
Pandemonium broke loose last night
in the big political meeting in the st.
James hotel in the interest of Underwood.
when Senator James X. vardaman of
Mississippi declared:
THANK God 1 have not yet reached
that stage of political degeneraey where
am willing to delegate the power of the
party to any one man."
Knowing of the break between Bryan
and vardaman over the selection of Judge
Parker as temporary chairman of the con-
vention, the audience grasped the truth
that he referred to Bryans opposition to
the choice of the majority of the national
committee.
Coming from man who three days ago
declared his faith in Bryan. who for is
years has worked tooth and nail for the
Nebraskan. great surprise was caused by
the utterance.
It was fully 10 minutes before he again
could make himself heard, With enthusi-
asm aroused, his long hair raking the
shoulders of his white suit, his face set
with grim determination, his useless right
arm hanging limp at his side while his
left was appraised for silence, the former
governor of the River State continued
Against One-Man Rule

AN ELEPHANT HAS
NO SENSE OF HUMOR

Tarrytown, N. Y. June 26.-An Italian
employed IN the railroad yards here is
convinced that an elephant has no sense
of humor and 20 appreciation of prac-
teal jokes. The Italian essayed to en-
terrain a number of friends last night
by feeding an elephant IN a freight car
a pint or so of black pepper. The ele-
plant, known as Jumbo H.. took the
pepper in good faith ana the sneeze that
followed nearly knocked him down. En-
ragged Jumbo grabbed the Italian with
his trunk and threw him so feet away onto
a car of coal. The italian was badly in
jured, but was assisted home by his
friends.

Baltimore, June 26.-There is a crowding

ASECRET MEETING

Among the Delegates.
Senator Refuses
to Talk


Baltimore. June 2s.-convention matters
wnen a report became persistent that
Senator LaFollette had held lengthy
conference with William Jennings Bryan,
after the reversal temporary craftsmanship
fight yesterday. 1t was said that La
Toilette had discussed in details the third
party movement
An air of mystery pervaded the Bryan
and Nebraska headquarters today. 1t was
neither denied nor affirmed that the con-
ference had been held. but Mr.. Bryan's
secretary really did not know of the sup
posed consultation between the two men.
That Senator LaFollette was under the
same roof with Mr. Bryan was admitted,
and it was DECLARED he had expressed
his intention of coming from Washington
again today. At the Wisconsin delega-
TONS headquarters it was acknowledged
that the senator had been here.
It was explained, however, that the
supposed conference with Mr.. Bryan was
unlikely, because Mr.. LaFollette in the
past had always held that differences In
the republican party should be adjusted
within the ranks.
Washington, June Ex-senator LaFol-
lette was back in Washington today from
Baltimore and met all inquiries OF
whether. he had conferred with Mr.. Bryan
with the answer that ne had absolutely
nothing to say

ton" he said, and may go over again"
Efforts to get the senator to affirm
or deny that he had conferred with Mr..
Bryan or other leaders on a third party
movement were met with his refusal to
talk.
