In the last days OF the campaign the
anti-Kerr leaders learned with sur
prise that Senator McMinitry, theii
state boss, was coming to Belmont FOL
a day. They had not sent for him
and were at loss to account for the
visit. He had not taken any one into
his confidence, merely saying he was
coming on business. 'Why he should
journey from Washington to Belmont
for so short stay they could not I'M
derstand. He gave it out that he was
making a flying visit to his home, but
LIE came straight to Belmont. Only
two men besides the senator knew his
mission, the emissary who carried the
message to Washington and the man
who sent for him. David Kerr wanted
to see him.
1t was only three days before cleo
ton when Senator McMinitry visited
Belmont. He went to the Hotel Bel
mont and took suite of rooms, but
did not register. After talking to Da-
vid Kerr over the telephone, he or
dered an early luncheon for two served
in his private parlor. Kerr arrived
before the table was spread and i'm
mediately began to explain the situa-
ton. All through the meal the two
men talked, McMinitry questioning
and Kerr explaining.
Practical politics was the business
of Senator James McMinitry just as
1t was of Mr. David Kerr. Jim Nc
Minitry liked to pose before the pub
lie and to make flamboyant speeches.
Kerr preferred to sit in his dingy real
estate office and, pull the strings that
made the puppets dance. To him
speech making and posing were like
the tinsel on a drum majors uniform.
He cared only for power, 1t was i'm
material to him how gaudy glory was
apportioned.
1T looks like he's got you in bad,
Dave" said the senator. II don't see
how l can help you this trip"
Kerr slowly set down his glass of
water and Strengthened up in his
chair, for he knew that the deal was
now under way. He had played fair
with Jim McMinitry and told him just
the exact situation.
Lots o. things can happen, Jim.
I've decided to get his paper, but l
need votes. It's too close to election.
You amt going to let him play you
for sucker. We've got to clean him,
or he'll turn on you just as he has
on me-"
81 guess l ought to wait till he
does" was the cautious response.
Eve got enough troubles without go
ing out and lassoing young grizzly
bear"
He amt got no party" urged Kerr,
"and you know how it happens in
them towns where such paper gifts
start. He's got these fools in Bel
mont believing he's George Washing
ton come to life again."
I'm sorry for you, Dave, but hon.
estly l don't see where I can help
out any. 1t would give me too black
an eye, because the boys here have
set their hearts on winning this time."
Kerr saw that McMinitry was fore
ing his hand, and he decided to APP
proach the situation from another
side.
1.-THE next legislature II elect your
successor" he suggested
I'm going to be my own success
sor," asserted the senator.
IT'S going to be a hot fight" con-
tinued Kerr, unmindful of McMini7
try's remark. "The state will swing

CARDINALS. ILLNESS
CAUSES ANXIETY

Rome, Dec. 15.-Cardinal Oreglia di
SAINT oStefano. the den of the Sacred
College, is dangerously Ill, and be.
cause Of his advanced age, he is past
81, great fears are entertained in
Vatican circles Of an approaching
collapse. He Is the oldest Of the living
cardinals, as regards appointment,
having been nominated to- the Sacred
College by the late Plus TX, and be-
ing now the only surviving cardinal
created under that pontifcate.
Cardinal Oreg1ia was born in the
diocese Of Mondovi in 1928, and as a
student at the academy of Rome gain.
ed prominence in theology and lang
uages He became a jesuit novice.
but did not continue in the Society of
Jesus and was ordained to the secular
priesthood in 1856. Before Victor Elm.
manuel became king Oregilia was his
chaplain and was with the house of
Savoy in that capacity for several
years.
He was sent to Lisbon as NunciO
In 1870 and was created cardinal Dec.
%. 1873. He is member CT the Curia,
dean OF the Sacred College, arch-chan-
cellor Of the Roman University, per-
feet OF the Congregation of Ceremon-
les member of almost all the princi-
pal congregations and protector of
about twenty societies.
Carlinal Oreslia has been known for
years as. one Of the leading politicians
Of the church. TWAS his personal in.
fluence in the last conclave and his
shrewd diplomacy That caused the ell
ection ,cf the Patriarch of Venice to
the Papal throne 5,and ever since the
election of Plus II, he is known to
have exercised great influence in the
Vatican, and to have been the princi-
pal opponent Of a liberal policy on, the
part Of the present pope toward the
Italian governments Naturally the
pope feels much concerned just now
over the illness Of his favorite car.
dinal and frequent messengers are
despatched daily from the Vatican to
the infirm cardinals palace.
In the event of the death OF Cardin-
al Oreglia, Cardinal 'Serafino Vanu-
telli. who is at present the sub.dean.
would be promoted to the position of
Camerlengo. or Chamberlain, of the
Holy Roman church, and would thus
become the acting pope in case Of
vacancy Of the papal throne.
: 1t Is an open secret in Vatican cir
cles that Archbishop Ireland of st.
Paul probably would have been ele-
waited to the cardinalate long ago had
it not been for the opposition of Car
dinal OregIia. The latter is known as
4 devoted follower Of the late Cardinal
Ledochowski,, who was always hostile
to the progressive American prelate.
