meeting between them being very
cordial

morning what he thought about Sec

to lecture to increase his income, said
that he did not think it dignided in the
secretary of State of the United States
going about making lectures for pay
under the orders of some little Chau-
tauqua manager like an actor in a
onering circus He said that if Mr.
Bryan could not live on the salary he
ought to resign.
The governor said that he had re-
ceived several offers to go On the lee
ture platform, but he did not think it
would be proper while he was gov
ernor of the State, and he had turned
all of them down. "And if it is not
proper for me, the governor Of one
of the States, certsinly the secretary
of State of the greatest nation of the
globe ought not to be going around
lecturing for money" he said.

tainly go to the United States Senate.
He says there is no doubt about him
beating Senator Smith next year

morning. as he drove off from the
hotel was, "Tell them, speaking to
the correspondent about his friends
back homeO if they need any pardons
this week to send the papers to Glenn
Springs

ernor next year. His only comment
was that ne was awaiting develop
ments. Beyond that he would not
commit himself
