Topekan Says He Was Not
Mentioned by Flambeau Club.
Topeka Gubernatorial Candi-
date Gives His Own Views.

From J. B. Billiard and his Topeka
followers come a declaration that the
cal Flambeau club made no effort to
endorse the former mayors candidacy
for governor. The resolution con-
strued as q Billiard endorsement was
SO worded that it did not personally
mention Billiard. 1t repudiated the
prohibition and national suffrage and
took a stand friendly. at least, to the
Billiard declaration Of principles In mis-
announcement AZ an Independent can
didate zor governor.
With the straight liquor and suf-
frage issues dividing the Billiard and
Hodges forces, friends OF Governor
Hodges construe the resolution as .
yelled endorsement Of Billiard. The
portion of the resolution in contro-
versy read:
whereas, Governor Hodges for the
sordid purpose of obtaining votes
from t. e newly enfranchised voters In
having forced into the state Demo-
cratic platform those two questions
and goes before the voters advocating
national prohibition aid national wo-
mems suffrage, and
Whereas, this club cannot prosti-
tute itself for the sordid purposes OF
obtaining votes by abandoning Demo-
Wagner and company are now doing,
Therefore be it resolved. that this
club endorses the national admins
tration Of President Wilson, the great
est Democrat Of the century, and that
this club repudiates such apostates as
Governor Hodges and his henchmen
and be it further resolved that the
members of this club are absolved
from any duty t. or allegiance to such
apostctes."
1t is now claimed that the resolution
was in no manner intended as an en-
mayor today made the following state
ment:
IN Tuesdays State Journal under
the heading. Jolt for Billiard you state
that the Flambeau club refused to en-
dorse me. Permit me to say in answer
that you must, have been misinformed
introduced or considered by said club.
The resolution to which you probably
refer did not mention my name nor pro-
pose to endorse me in any way"

THE resolution endorsing President
Wilson and his administration on the
stand he takes regarding woman suf-
frage and national prohibition and re-
flecting on the policy of Governor
Hodges was pretty strong in its TERMS -

WINNER AND LOSER

In the case of Ulysses S. Grant
and Simon Bolivar Buckner winner
and loser meet once more in a new
relation. Buckner, now dead at 81,
was Grants friend at West Point.in
youth, his companion in the old
army, his enemy in the civil war
and again his friend in peace. .
BuckDer was born in 1923, one
year later than Grant. Young
officers in the Mexican war, they
both gained distinction, and they
met as foes fourteen years later
at Donelson, where, abandoned by
his suleriors, Floyd and Pillow,
Buckner was compelled by circum-
stances to make an "unconditioua,
surrender" against which he pro-
tested in vehement language.
This capitulation gave Grant
fame. It Inundated Buckner and
made him q prisoner. AS was the
custom at that time, Buckner was
exchanged and resumed his COM
msnd. becoming eventually a lieu.
tenant-general, serving as such dur
ing years of hard fighting. Grant
went on to Shiloh, vicksburg, Chat
tanooga, the Wilderness, Appomat-
tox, the presidency and undying
glory. Buckner, in Louisiana in
1860, surrendered and went home
to Kentucky, first face to face with
his fellowmen in sections once hos
tile, to renew bis cordial relations
with his conqueror, whe in his tri-
umph proved q friend indeed, and
to live to q great old age, almost
the last Of his time.

VISITS BIG PRINTING OFFICE,
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson Gets Waterman,
Into Trouble by Unexpected Call
at Print Shop.

Mrs Woodrow Wilson, wife OF
President Wilson, has been doing q
good deal OF Summing In washington
ever since she has been here. She
has visited all OF the wretched alleys,
and they are really not very numer-
Gus; all the tumbled-down buildings,
and we have quite a lot of those, and
she Is now making the rounds of the
departments to see wherein the con-
ditions OF the clerks can be bettered.
The other day she wandered up to-
the government printing office with
some friends to make a personal in
spection Of the conditions under which
women are working In that building.
Mrs. Wilson always requests that it
be not made known who she Is, and
furthermore she insists upon visiting
these places unexpectedly, SO that
there car be no sweeping and busting
beforehand.
At the government printing Office
she was received by Henry E.. Terry,
one of the watchmen, and to him she
gave her orders not to let her identity
be known, then asked him to accom-
pany her around the building. Mrs.
Wilson declined to let Public Printer
Ford know that she was there, and
SO the poor Waterman could do moth
ing but tremble in his shoes and
tramp around over the great building
with the first lady of the land" who
was appearing incognito. Mr.. Terry
was nearly scared to death, and as
oon as she was out of the Office
and she got out without anybody find
Ing out she had been there-Terryy
reported to Public Printer Ford that
the presidents wife had been there.
Very naturally he was enraged that
the wife of the president of the
United States should have been re-
ceived in the government printing
office just as anybody else was re-
ceived who wandered in of the
streets. Public Printer Ford did not
believe that this comported with the
dignity of the department or himself,
and as Waterman Terry had COM
mitted q grave breach Of the rules
Ford Immediately dismissed him.
OF course Waterman Terry was
somewhat up in the air. He wanted
to be entirely loyal to the government
printer, and yet he had a dim notion
that the wife OF the president OF the
United States ranked everybody, and
between the two he was about to lose
out, when he had the forethought of
appealing to Senator Lane of Oregon.
Senator Lane Immediately visited the
White House, told what had happened
and implored Mrs. Wilson to use her
best efforts to have Waterman Terry
r~einstated. This Mrs. Wilson proceed
ed to do, and Terry is again on the
Job, q wiser If not sadder man. 1t will
take more than the wife of the presi-
lent of the United States to mako
Terry break another rule of the gov.
eminent printing Office. The Wilson's
are not at all o~stentatious, and in
their efforts to be just common people
are continually getting somebody into
trouble.
