was no great increase in congressional
callers today, but MI sherman ana
Senator Crane of Massachusetts hurried

was a caller Asked as to what atti-
| tude he would take Mr.. Stimson said:
II will make my position perfectly
clear in the speech snail make IN chi
cago March L."
This speech is to be made before the
/ Chicago Taft club. 1t has been looked
forward to as one of series cabinet
officers are to make in support of the
president and it was the general i'm
preston here today that Mr.. Stimson
will adhere to his original purpose. The
fact that he said he would announce
his position before a Taft organization
also is regarded as significant
There is a growing belief that the
crux of the pre- convention campaign

Col. Roosevelt at Columbus.
It's Up to the PeopIe-Bristow
Washington, Feb. Ex-senator JOS
eph L. Bristow of Kansas:
''Roosevelt's statement is direct and
to the point. I agree with him that the
presidential nominee ought to be de-
terInined by the majority of Republi-
cans in a direct primary vote. believe
that whoever the people want ought 20
be nominated by the convention That
is the only way that any choice can be
made.
Personally I favor and have favor
ed the nomination of Senator LaFol-
Iette, but I will cheerfully abide by the
decision that will be made by the peo-
pie at the primaries. And there ought
TO be a presidential primary in every
state where there are organized RepuD-
Iicans."

the Kansas governor will leave soon
for New Jersey to make speeches in
that state and work back to Kansas

gone two weeks on the trip.
But it is expected that the governor
will make a key note speech in Kansas
before he goes east in which he will an

get in as delegates via the convention
system Nearly all the regulars and
some insurgents are standing pat on
TAFT. There were $1,000 votes cast
at the primary two years ago for
Thomas E. Wagstaff, regular candi-
date, and $4,000 votes cast for w. r.
Stubbs, progressive. What the pro-
portion of progressive votes to regu-
lar votes now is in Kansas it is i'm
possible to determine. The straw
votes have all favored Roosevelt for
president, but the straw vote is not
always a reliable index. The regulars
are just as active and aggressive now
in politics as they were before Wag-
staff met with overwhelming defeat.
They argue that Taft is stronger
candidate than was Wagstaff. But
the progressives argue that Teddy will
be stronger than was Stubs.
Any way it is figured or argued
there is a beautiful battle ahead in
Kansas politics for the next five
months The Clark and Wilson fac
lions among the Democrats will also
make the fur fly before a decision is
reached in favor of either the New
Jersey schoolmaster or the Missouri
statesman.

Flowers as Valentines

There are lovers who do not admire
the manufactured valentine to convey
the state Of their sentiments, and they
ask the flowers to tell their love.
These beautiful messengers prove to
be a well chosen proxy and have won
more than one fair maiden's heart.
They will gladly plead your cause in
a most capable manner.
Send a colonial nosegay, with violets,
small buds. sweet pea and lavender
closely packed together in strips OF
contrasting color. A frilI of lace y
frames this old fashioned valentine.
For the man who still retains a small
bit of sentiment, inherited from some
gallant ancestor, there is the heart
fashioned from her favorite flower.
Corsage bouquets of sweet peas, vio-
let's, orchids, a~ttractively arranged
with cords or ribbons, are always ac-
ceptable valentines.
Each flower has it's symbolic mean

Standing Of Teams.

The Interior team lost to the Buck
man aggregation last evening by A
score OF 26 to 81. Two games were
scheduled but the second game went
to Cannon & Co., by default, through
the inability of several of The Courier

out of the city.
The Interior-Buckman game was
fast and clean. Mclean was the big
star for the Interiors, making "a of
the 26 points, which the Interior team
gained. With better p he would
undoubtedly have led his team to vic
tory. Cockburn for the Buchanan
quint did good work at center, getting
the jump on his opponent the greater

half Sherdahl vas shifted forward

the points.
