Governor Folk was once talking
about reform.

her return from long days shopping:

UNDERWOOD AND MARSHALL
Representative Underwood has been
granted a good deal of political strength
as a presidential possibility. He is
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee and a man whose word car
ries much weight in his party.
Governor Marshalrs presidential
boom was launched last September. A
reporter sent to interview him in jan
uary, 1910, said that the governor
greeted him as follows: Talk? Yes,
I'll talk. In fact, my wife declares
that 1 am as willing and precipitate
as was the negro woman who worked
in a steam laundry. Sam wanted to
propose, but lacked the courage, face
to face, and so he called her up by
telephone.
"Is that you, Maude?" he asked,
failing in his confusion to identify
himself.
"Tt sure is,' Maude replied.
"sWin you marry me?' he timidly in
quired.
Eyes Maude yelled back instantly.

While by no means considering him

clans have said that Marshall, being

St. Patrick's Day Luck
By JOHN L. M'GovERN

Moreover, 1t might be possible to In
crease Miss Carrolrs natural resent
ment against Mccarthy by a cleverly
devised story.
He then put the telegram back and
thrust it entirely under the rug.
Having his own plans for the next
day, Trimble was afraid that his friend
Corwin would suggest some plan which
it might be embarrassing to escape
from, so he lodged Corwin during the
evening and spent the time in roam
ing about the city alone. Returning
near midnight, he found the door of
McCarthy's room open and saw the
young son of Erin within
Great times tomorrow, suppose?"
said he, pausing by the door.
I'm expecting the day Of my Iife,'
responded Mccarthy.
Trimble expressed the polite hope
that Mr. Mccarthy would not be dis
appointed.
Disappointed tomorrow Me?
guess you've forgotten my name. I'm
bound to be lucky on st. Patrick's
day"
Mccarthy, who was standing by the
window, drew aside the curtain and
glanced out; and Trimble had the
his foot and see the yellow envelope
safe in its hiding place.
It'll be a fine day." said Mccarthy
81 hope so,'' said Trimble. 1--WE ar
ranged bit of a celebration, and I
wouldn't wish it to be spoiled
Trimble was early at breakfast next
morning, and by IL o'clock Trimble
was at the Northern depot elegantly
arrayed and prepared to make the eff
fort of his life. He spent a nervous
half hour, which seemed very long,
and then a still more nervous ten min
utes which seemed much longer. Trains
arrived, and people poured out of
them. Green banners waved, and
bands played, and pretty girls with
Irish blue eyes and shamrocks display
ed upon their holiday raiment hurried
by, but Bessie Carroll was not among
them.
At 1 o'clock the most melancholy
Brfton under the blue canopy of heav-
en- gave up the game and returned to
his room in the boarding house, where
he stuffed a black pipe with strong to-
bacco and sat down to "think it out"
There was a rap at the door, and Cor
win entered. The two men seemed to
be in the same mood.
I4OOh mere. Sdlu COTW1n. L can
trust you, and I'm going to tell you
something. 1 found out yesterday that
Mccarthy had an engagement to meet
Bessie Carroll at Arlington and Boyl-
ston streets. She was coming in from
Winchester by trolley. So, Just for
bit of joke, 1 fixed up a bogus teIe-
gram, telling him to meet her at the
Northern depot, and I chucked it under
his door"
'EYou didr' said Trimble.
eyes, I did, responded Corwin
"And then 1 went to the corner of
Arlington and Boylston streets to see
whether 1 might be of some service to
Miss Carroll, and, by the living lingo,
there was Pat Mccarthy! What do
you make of itT'
Trimble shook his head.
"Don't know what to make of it, he
said. Never heard of such blasted
luck in my life

On the tariff he takes his place as a
tariff for revenue Democrat. With
out committing himself unequivocally
to the initiative and referendum, he
nevertheless assisted to pass such
| laws relating to municipalities only
through the Ohio legislature.
After his retirement as attorney
general and during the height of the
Bryan wave Mr.. Harmon, like most
Democrats who had been closely iden-
titled with the Cleveland administra-
ton, took back seat politically. But
in 1908 he doomed up again upon the
political horizon. Despite the fact
that he had twice before contested the
presidency with a native son of Ohio,
Mr.. Bryan nad not Jared so badly at
the hands of the electorate of the
state which he aspired to carry, and
his political advisers believed that if
he could obtain the conservative Dem
ocrats' support he might accomplish
his aim. 1t was with this end in view
that the Bryan Democrats, excepting
Tom L. Johnson, interposed little real
opposition to Harmon's nomination
for governor.
Harmon carried the state by approx
imately 10000 plurality. while Bryan
was defeated by approximately 10000.
CHAMP CLARK
Champ Clark is serving his ninth
term as a member of the house of rep
reSentatives, of which body he is speak
er. The movement to nominate him
for president has been attributed to
Democratic congressman.
In an official Democratic gathering
in Missouri about year ago Joseph
w. Folk was Endorsed for president
The Clark boom, starting in Washing
ton, upon reaching Missouri seriously
embarrassed both Clark and Folk A
tentative proposition was discussed
looking to a popular primary in Mis-
souri, as between these two men at
which the delegates to the national
convention would be chosen and in
structed.
Both Mr.. Folk and Mr.. Clark were
included in Bryan's eligible" list for
the presidency, although Mr.. Bryan in
an editorial somewhat criticised Mr.
Clark for his cordial relations in the
management of the house of represent
atives with Mr.. Underwood, some of
whose policies Mr.. Bryan opposes.
Among his supporters Speaker Clark
is known as a progressive Democrat

FOSS AND FOLK
Governor Foss went to congress on
the tariff issue in the 1910 Democratic
landslide they had in the Fourteenth
Massachusetts district. He predicted
long ago that the tariff issue would DOM
mate the campaign now taking shape.
Governor FoSs has been talked of as
a running mate for Governor Harmon,
but his hackers insist he is strong
enough for first place on the ticket

ana Mccarthy, as you perhaps
might surmise, was an Irish
man. They were not upon the
best OF terms.
Everybody liked Mccarthy in the
boarding house in Boston where the
two young men lived. He had a fine
voice for ballads. and he knew an enor-
nous number Of them. A delegation.
including all the pretty girls in the
boarding house, was always in waiting
to escort Mccarthy to the piano after
dinner Trimble cared little for music
and nothing at all for the girls, but he
felt that he should have been of far
more Importance than Mccarthy in any
society. He would often sit in a corner
OF the parlor with another young Eng
nshman named Corwin and discuss the
thousand faults of Mccarthy as he
and Corwin figured them out
LII Trimble and Corwin had not thus
acquired the habit of being jealous of
Mccarthy it is possible that neither of
them would have been disturbed by his
attentions to Miss Bessie Carroll, a
stunning, pretty girl, who spent some
weeks in the boarding house with her
parents Trimble and Corwin decided
almost Immediately that Miss Carroll
was far above the social level of that
house, and they included one Patrick
Mccarthy.
The CAROLS had a house in Win
chester, which is a suburb of Boston,
and when certain alterations had been
completed in their home they moved
back to it. During the succeeding win
ter Mr.. Trimble, Mr.. Corwin and Mr..
Mccarthy went out to Winchester
quite often. Englishmen may think
slowly, yet they really do think down
to the truth, and soon there came a
time when Trimble and Corwin began
to think that it was not much use for
them to go out to Winchester any
more. Neither was sure of this.
On the evening Of the 10th of March
Trimble knocked at McCarthy's door
on the way down to dinner.
He opened McCarthy's door without
waiting for an answer to his rap and
was surprised to find that the room
was empty.
"Well, upon my wordr' said he and
began to back out, closing the door.
At that moment his glance fell upon
the end of yellow envelope which
protruded from under the rug by the
door Obviously this was a telegram
which some servant had pushed in be-
meath the door.
The lappet of the envelope was so
carelessly sealed that a mere touch
opened it A single glance sufficed for
the reading of the message:
Shall take steam cars, not trolley. Meet
Northern depot IL 80. E. C.
So Miss Carroll was coming in to
view the. parade. Doubtless Mccarthy
had made arrangements for entertain
ing her, and there had been an ap-
pointment which this telegram was in
tended to change. If Mccarthy should
not receive the message and should
fail to be at the Northern depot and
Mr.. Trimble should happen to meet
Miss Carroll in the midst of her wrath
she might be very. kind. 1t is a femi-
nine method of revenge described in
all the books. and Trimble thought
that luck was favoring him.

Second ArticIe-Side Lights on
Democrats Who Have Been
Prominently Talked of as Can
didates at the Baltimore Con-
vention.
BY JAMES L. AUSTIN

~@HE Democratic national conven-
81 ton to choose a candidate for
81 president will open In Balti-
more on June %, one week aft
er the assembling of the Republicans
for similar purpose The same air
of uncertainty that has characterized
the Republican situation has prevailed
on the Democratic side. Seven names
have figured prominently in the list of
Democratic possibilities. OF this num-
Der Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio
and Governor Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey have been regarded by many
persons as the most likely to land the
nomination. And yet the other men
on this liSt-Speaker Champ Clark of
Missouri, Oscar w. Underwood, ex-
Governor Joseph W. Folk of Missouri,
Governor Eugene n. Foss of Massa-
chusetts and Governor Thomas R. Mar
shall of Indiana-have not lacked for
support. Each has had his share of
popular enthusiasm within the party.
AS in the case of Republican choice
for the presidential nomination, no po-
littcal sage has been able to say and
brook no denial that this man or that
man would come out victorious in the
approaching battle of Baltimore"
At the time the political pot began
to boil during the winter political enc
mics of Wilson and Harmon were at
work. The first disturbing factor in
the Wilson campaign for the nominal
ton was the Princeton mans i'm
broglio with former United States SEN
ator James Smith. Jr., of Dr. Wilson's
own state. Smith laid claim to having
practically put Wilson into the run
ming, and when the latter tore himself
away from the former senator he ran
afoul of unrelenting hostility display
ed in a variety of forms.
Colonel George B. Harvey, too, was
said to have figured conspicuously in
the political discovery of DR.. Wilson,
and when the Wilson-Harvey break oc-
Cured the New Jersey governors foes
did not overlook an opportunity. The
Harvey incident involved Henry Wat
terson. veteran Democrat and Louis
vile editor. MIR. watterson's criti-
cism of DR.. Wilson for the break with
Colonel Harvey did not serve to lure
back the dove of peace. Watterson
had said that in spite of his expecta-
tons regarding Wilson he had found
rather a schoolmaster thar a states
man." to which observation Wilson's
first quoted reply was that mr.. Wat
terson is a nice old gentleman"
