While this conversation was taking
place Norton idled about; and feeling
the cravings for cigarette, prepared
to roll one, only to find that he hadn't

The cigarette glowed. Jim smoked
hurriedly.
Through every pocket they went.
The contents of his wallet lay scat

from the chain The cigarette grew
shorter and shorter. Suddenly one Of
the men stretched out a hand and
whisked the cigarette from Jims lips.
He threw it to the floor and stamped
out the coal.

Quick as a fash Jim's hand shot

of the United States in 1916. He NAV
protest i'll health and age, but he will
be the Republican nominee and win
over Wilson or any other possible rival.
This prediction was thrown into the
whitman presidential boomers camp
soon after the arrival here last night of
William Barnes, Jr.
Root is due today for consultation
With Senate Leader Brown, Speaker
sweet and others, Ostensibly to frame
Program for the cOnstituti NAL conven-
Glon, which begins here April 6. Root
is to preside over that convention. He
is to be kept in the limelight as a presi
1ential probability during the four
months it is expected to be in session.
These sources from which came the
statement concerning the campaign for
pushing Root into the White House and
keeping Whitman o't of it, is a leader
who was foremost in the battle to re-
nominate Taft and crush Roosevelt two
years ago. Iti is conceded even by Gov.
ernor Whitman and State Chairman
Tanner that this leader saved the Re-
publcans second place on the ballot in
this state in 1912, and ha ded over to
them such perfect organization last
fall that all they had to do was to
watch the wheels go around"
"As to health, saw Root yesterday
and he was never in better health, " said
this leader. GAS to age, it is true he is
70 years old, but that does not make
him ineligible for the presidency.
1.-The nation is calling for a man as
big as the country, ole who can direct
its affairs with wis ON, knowledge and
power. 1t is tired of agitators, theorists
and pedagogues. 1t has had nothing
else for IA years. l think Republicans
will be solidly behind Root, that he will
need no other platform than the one l
have just indicated, and that the de-
mand for him will be so overwhelming
that he will be nominated by acclama-
ton. In saying this 1 speak without
his knowledge and probability against
his wishes"
"How about Governor Whitman?''
"Why talk about him or anybody else
in the same breath with Root?" was the
reply. whitman has just begun his
political career. His future is uncertain.
Roots capac ty is known of all men. -
"What's the matter with Taft?"
"But for his advocacy of the reclproc-
ity treaty, Taft might prove formid-
able factor, but today he is remote

1915 LEGISLATURE ENDS

DOVER, DEL, March Is. The ninety
fifth General Assembly of Delaware, in
accordance with resolution adopted by
House and Senate earlier in the session,
after acting upon the lengthy appropria-
ton and claims bills adjourned sine die
at O'Clock, this afternoon. While the
official time for the adjournment of the
two houses, as contained in the resolu-
ton, was 3 p. M, the reading of the
long bills occupied SO much time that
this was found to be impossible. and
the "otticial clocks in the House and
Senate chambers were stopped a few
minutes before the hour of 8 O'Clock.
Thus, while an old adage states that
''time and tide wait for no man." the
Legislators succeeded in holding up the
official time long enough to pass the
bills.
For a few minutes prior to adjourn
ment, the corridors of the State House,
and the chamber of each of the houses
echoed with songs which were sung
Justify by the members who were about
to bid each other farewell, some of the
senators to meet again two years hence
but many never to meet again. The
strains of tits Long. Long Way to
TIpperary, had hardly died out
when the motion to adjourn sine die
was made in both houses and prevailed.
Before the adjournment, however,
the legislature, by the passage of the
appropriation bills, sanctioned appro-
priations of more than 81, 500, 900 for
the ensuing two fiscal years and provid-
ing for payment of compensation and
mileage for members of the legislature,
officers of the Senate and House and
general claims against the state. This
means three-quarters of a million dol.
lars appropriations for each of the two
ensuing years. 1t was evident from to.
days expenditures scheduled that Della.
ware will soon have to look about 70,
sources of adequate additional revenue
as the expenses grow larger.
PROVIDE FOR DEFICIT
Coupled with the omnibus appropria.
tion bills is authority for the state trea-
surer, with approval by the governor
and secretary of state to borrow money
by issuing certificates of indebtedness
to make up any deficit that may occur
during the next two years. For the
fiscal year of 1916 the estimated rev.
enues are 1904, TIA and appropriations
voted today are s765, 324. For tae fiscal
year 1916 the estimated receipts are
$740, ,l22 and appropriations sanctioned
are $628, ,154, showing the close margin
lowed for running the state govern
mt up to the cOnvening, of the next
stature.
