prominent AZ La Toilette supporters.
Mr. Crane said he was going back
10 Chicago 10 work for Wilson and

Tonight In talking with the news
paper men, Governor Wilson said that
the subject of contributions had not
been touched upon In his conversation
with Mr.. Crane and that there had

governor on his visitors part.
Speaker Clark came up from Wash
ington half an hour before he was

What we dscussed--he introduce
ed the subiect-was chiefly the busi-
ness pending In the house and the
prospects OF adjournment" Governor
Wilson continued. "lle told mo In
some detail what the state Of the busi-
ness was and what the prospects OF
adjournment were. OF course the
whole country knows the prospects OF
adjournment but he was kind enough
TO tell me the details of the business.
We talked about that most all OF tho
time. The rest was chiefly in explain
ing the very generous position which
he has taken in regard to the cam
paign-he Will do anything in his
power to help.
Two Other Callers.
II had two other callers today, Mr..
Charles X. Crane and President Van
EIse Of Wisconsin university. Mr.. Van
lIise has devoted a great deal Of
study to the trusts and he wanted 10
discuss the subject with me. We spent
perhaps three quarters OF an hour on

cuss that big subject with him. | was
extremely Interested in what he had
to say He has the scientific habit
Of mind that goes into the features
thoroughly.
Mr.. Crane paid me a visit of COM
pliment
When Speaker Clark left the COVER
nor, he came out on the porch sat
down in a rocker and told the report
ers he was willing to talk of any one
of eight subjects, including art, mu-
sic, the Ninth congressional district of
Missouri and books. but he would not
talk OF politics The newspaper men
plastered him with questions on many
forbidden topics.
THE governor invited me to come
here and l came, as thought ought
to do, he said. I'VE talked about a
good many things. He can tell you
about them If he wants to- IL he does
not you will have to let them go. 1t
is easier for us TO come down here
and see him than 1t is for him to
prowl about the country to see u.s."
What do you think Of the third
party movement
81 don't know a thing in the world
about it.
What do you think Of the plat
form?"
Il think it IS a very good platform.
I'm not going to discuss it until dis

buster man on earth than the speaker
of the house at this session Of the
Legislature. ! haven't had time to
study the platform in detail When |
do study 1T expect to when | get

II always turns out that there are two
or three ISSUES in a campaign, no
matter how many planks there are in
tho platform.
What do you think Of the pros
poets for retaining or increasing the
democratic majority in the house,"
THE house always goes with tho
president"

that the senate win be democratic.

The seaker was asked what part he
thought William ]. Bryan wculd take

cuss. He repeated the latter in
different form, however, saying
