T.. G.. Chamberlin reports the sale
Of three Harley Davidson motorcycles
during the past week. He does not
have much trouble in selling this pop
ular motor bike, but it is almost i'm
possible to secure the machines from
the factory in Wisconsin as they are
several weeks behind with their or

been spending the winter at Los An

writes his father that he expects to
start for home within week or two
and will drive his motor bike across
country. This will be 4 long trip, but
Clarence hopes to make 1t within two

Mr.. Lyon called a special meeting
OF the club Friday evening for the
purpose of getting the sentiment OF
the business men in regard to meet
ing the requirements asked by the
Hagen beck Wallace shows. After dis
cussing the matter it was decided not
to offer any Inducements to the circus
to visit Denison, and Mr.. Lyon was
requested to communicate with the
circus people to this effect, and we
understand that this has already been
done However. some of the business
men are anxious to have this circus
visit Denison and have been around
securing subscriptions and on Mon
day had raised enough money to meet
the demands. They have written the
show people that their request made
to the Commercial clnb will be car
ried out.

exhibited to one of the largest crowds
in the history OF Denison and the big

HARD TO PLEASE
Willum Alum White Wants
Only Ultra-MOOse Candidate.
Even CumminS of Iowa Is Not
Satisfactory to Him.
EMPORIAN HAS A new SLOGAN
"YOu Can't Beat Wilson With a
TwO-SpOt," Is Declaration.
Scrap Iron Thrown Into the
Republican Machinery.

That the ProgreSsives will refuse to
join the Republicans unless an ultra
progressive candidate is nominated for
the presidency is the strong insinua-
ton of william Allen White of En-
poria, national committeeman for the
Progressive party in Kansas. Even
Cummins of Iowa is listed. by the
Enporia editor as one of the weak
hngs offered by the Republicans in
their effort to unseau Wilson.
Most of the conservative leaders of
the state expected White and his
friends to balk il Weeks or Sherman
or Root or even Burton were present
ed as the presidential nominees. Even
these men, many believed, would be
acceptable to the rank of the third
party in an effort to uRseat the Dem
ocratic rational administration. Now
White has gone even further and has
pointed out that Joseph L. Bristows
tried and true friend, Senator Cum
minis. is after all not a heavyweight
in the game of national politics.
Can't Beat Wilson With Deuce.
You can't beat Wilson with a two
spot is the slogan which White sug-
gests for tire Republicans in 1916
Then he mentions Cummins and
Weeks and Burton as the candidates
in a questionable compromise that
cannot win without a real man at the
helm.
IA number of gentlemen with pro-
greSS1Ve tendencies are trying to work
out the nomination of Senator Cum
minis for president on the Republican
ticket says White. "A number of
other gentlemen with conservative
1eanipgs are trying to nominate Sena-
tor Weeks. A number of others who
have some sort of a vague nebulous
idea of harmony are giving a kind of
absent treatment to the candidacy of
Senator Burton of Ohio.
Insists on Real Article.
'+If the Republicans win this fight
of 1916, they will win it on just one
slogan: You can't beat Wilson with a
two spot Paste that in your hat and
stick it in your pipe and smoke it,
And that is the judgment of the
Progressive leader after all the effort
on the part of Bristow and other near
Progressives to give the former third
party voters something just as good"
Now White insists on the real article
On the other hand a Bristow choice
is just as distasteful to the conserva-
tives as a Charles Curtis selection
could possibly be to the ProgreSSives
and near Progressives. Now and real
izing all of these troublesome condi-
tions, White is enjoying the near
Christmas holidays by throwing scrap
iron in the Republican harmony ma

Conspiracy Case. :

New York, Dec. 1.-The abstract of
the Hamburg-American lines agree
ment with the German government
whereby the former agreed to supply
German cruisers at sea with coal and
supplies in neutral ships sailing from
American ports early in the war, has
passed into the keeping of the Ger-
man embassy at Washington. DR..
Karl Buenz managing director of the
line, so testified today in his trial
and that of three other line officials
and emplOyeeS-on charges of con-
spiracy now nearing its close in the
United States district court here.
Moreover, DR.. Buenz testified, all corr
respondence on the subject by letter
or cable likewise has been turned over
to the EN- baSSy.
The cablegrams, it was said were in
the German naval code and were re-
moved to the embassy when it was
thought there was danger of their be-
coming public through this trial, and
thus revealing to representatives of
England, France and Russia the key
to the German secret code.
Notwithstanding the severance of
the German cables to America by the
British early in the war the Ham burg
American line was in constant cable
comm unication with Germany, DIR.
Buenz testified. These cablegrams, at
the time the line sent out relief ships,
told DR.. Buenz where to send ships to
meet German cruisers, notwithstand-
ing the isolation of the warShips from
the German admiralty.
The government strongly objected to
DR.. Buenz's testimony concerning the
abstract of the agreement and the
cablegrams relating to the dispatch of
relief ships. Roger B. Wood, United
States assistant attorney, contended
the documents themselves were avail
able and that they should be brought
into the court room. In this he was
upheld by Judge Howe and DR.. Buenz
was not permitted to tell their con-
tents.
William Rand, jr., counsel for the
defense, sought to have the contents
of the documents placed before the
jury as DR.. Buenz remembered them.
I'VE are willing to show you the
translations," Mr.. Rand said. 1--WE
can not show you the originals. In
the first place, we could not get them
from the German embassy if we want
ed to, any more than could the United
States government. They are safe and
fast in Germany's keeping-as much
in Germany as if they were in Inter
Den Linden.
"In the second place, we MAINTAIN
that the government of the United
States is not interested in the German
secret code. These documents, some
of them, are in this code. If they
were brought here they would become
public property. The German code
would become known to all of Ger
many's enemies. Interesting reading
