MATTERSON- INCIDENT
is HELPING WILSON

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The sup
porters OF Gov. Wilson are insisting
that the outcome of the Harvey-Wat-
terson-Wilson affair Will rebound TO
the credit of the governor and his
candidacy, says a special to the New
York Times.
Senator Tillman. whose statement
on this subject was chiefly instfu-
mental in prodding Col. Watterson to
his sharpest charges, has repeated his
belief in the political gain to the gov
ernor.from he incident and Senator
Gore has done the same thing. Sena.
tor Chamberlain, OF Oregon, takes
the same position, and predicts Mr..
Wilson's nomination for the presi.
dency.
Mr.. Wilson emerged from the stu.
alton with flying colors," said the sen
ator. Instead of iniuring him, the
Watterson incident has SO greatly
helped him that from this time on |
look for increasing interest the coun-
try over in the candidacy Of Gov. VIII
son for the Democratic nomination
for president
In fact II easily may be That this
incident will prove TO have been the
one thing that was needed TO advance
the Wilson interests TO the point OF
present certainty that he will be the
party nominee.
'Ebelieye the incident demonstrate
ed. first. that Wilson was not disloyal

Col Harvey clearly show ttrrt and
that he is red-blooded too But in

STEPHENSON,S COUNSEL
CLAIMS HE WON FAIRLY

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.-Senator
Isaac Stephensoh's counsel, former
Rep. Littlefeld. of Maine, argued be.
fore the senate committee on priv.
leges and elections today that his
clients slection was legal and free
from corruption. The committee now

the senator.
Littlefeld contended that Stephen

declared that as a fundamental propo-
sition the senate had no power TO in

constitution. he said provides that
legislatures shall elect senator's.
"A very rich man might buy the
votes of legislators, suggested Sena-
tor Kern.
Yes. but he would be disqualified.
said Littieheld. Money was placed
only IN the hands OF Stephenson s
friends. said Littlefeld All sYore
tina, none OF this money was used TO
cnrrupily influence votes in his favor :.
Littlefeld contended that no proof
OF illegality has been produced. and
while admitting that the wisconsin
Law had not been complied with in
Siephenson's report OF his 100000
campaign expenses. asked that the
senate refrain from imposing any
penalty in view OF that prescribed by
the Wisconsin law. Littleheld asked
that the committee establish prece-

that the senate ought not TO inYesti-

Then the mists cleared from Johns
mind. The fog OF nfatuation lifted
and the sun or true love shone
through. He saw Mary standing there
before him, the simple mountain girl
she had always been. yet revealed to
him in a new light.

Mary Cutter!" he said TO himself, as
astonished as if he had suddenly dis

Automobile Accident

Mrs. Elizabeth Cassidy was seri-
ously injured and Mr.. and Mrs. w.
ii, ChiIdress and Ed. Powell were
painfully bruised about five o'clock
Sunday evening when the latter's
auto turned turtle near j. FL. PEERS
home north Of town. They had
spent the day with Mrs. Cassidy's
daughter near Fountain Grove and
were returning to their home at
Linneus. The car was running at
the rate of a little more than
twenty miles an hour when it struck
a soft place in the road or some
thing went wrong with the steering
gear and the car skidded and then
turned over on its side, throwing
the occupants out.
Mrs. Cassidy was severely
bruised about the head and shoulder
and received other internal in
iuries. She was unconscious for a
time and was taken to the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. Fl. Peer. The
others were severely bruised but
not seriously injured. Mrs. Cas-
sidy is reported to be improving,
but owing to her advanced age,
her recovery will necessarily be
slow.

The homes of "A. D. Welsh and
w. b. KimbIe about three miles
south of LacIede were visited by a
burglar last Saturday night. E..
r. Marsh was staying with his
sister, Mrs. Welsh, and his pocket
book was removed from a pocket
of his trousers by his bedside and
the contents, between So and SO,
taken, but his watch was left, as
was the empty pocketbook. Floyd
Welsh lost little change. At
Kimble's the burglar went upstairs
and took Mr.. Kimble's trousers
from the bedpost where he was
sleeping and took between 81 and
$5. At both places entrance was
effected through the front door,
which had been left unlocked.
Money seemed to be the only thing
wanted, and the only clue is the
fact that the burglar wore a very
small shoe, as was shown by the
footprints ON the frosty doorstep.
