Banners Such as "Get Your Ribs Back Carried By

through downtown Chicago yesterday In
a monster demonstration aimed at dele
gates to the Republican convention In
support of their plea for the vote.
At least half OF the 1900 marchers
originally scheduled were In line.
1t was literally pouring at 1 o'clock
when the suffragettes began to march.
Armed with banners and umbrellas. and
wearing wellov and white gowns that
dripped water at every step. the women
nevertheless made an impressive APP
pearance. Their banners were striking
ly catchy-"GET YOUR RIBS BACK
WE VOTE FOR PRESIDENT
WATCH YOUR STEP" and others.
Only a few SPECTATORS lined Michigan
boulevard. but they gave the plucky
marchers a goodly round of applause.
In order that umbrellas could be car

march formation to eight abreast. IN
stead Of sixteen.
The rain providentially Stacked off a
trifle shortly after 4. but II still driz-

BY JOHN SNURE.

COLISEUM. Chicago. ILL.,. June g.
The list Of dark horses whose names
are being whispered about the Repuo-
lican convention is a numerous one.
The uncertainties Of the outlook are
such that gentlemen with Presidential
ambitions are not by any means averse
to enrolment In the dark-horse class,
In politics. as In other things, mystery
sometimes Is an asset. and this Is the
case with the dark horse.
New York has at least two dark
horses. They are Governor Whitman
and Senator Wadsworth. Governor
Whitman is working for Hughes, and
Is one OF the foremost Hughes leaders
Senator Wadsworth is working for
Root. Broadly speaking. Governor
Whitman inclines to the Progressive
elements OF his party Senator Wads-
worth, whose father before him was OF
the old guard, has elected to remain
with the old guard.
Wadsworth Had Big Chance.
Had Senator Wadsworth aligned him
self with progressive Republicans. he
would have made an appeal to the
West that, under certain conditions,
might have brought him the nomina-
ton for President.

Leighton, charged with the murder of A.
| C. Gibson in Sharon on February "a, last
was completed yesterday morning in
Windsor county court and the state i'm
mediately began the presentation of its
case.
! Among the witnesses testifying for the
state was Wallace Aldrich. owner of the
rifle which the state claims that Leigh
ton used as weapon against Gibson.
Aldrich testified that the rife was rusty
and that it would carry bullet without
regard to the care exercised in aiming
the gun.
DIR. b. H. Stone, state pathologist, tes-
titled regarding conducting an autopsy on
the body of Gibson.
Fred Spaulding, one of Gibson's team
sters, testified to the circumstances of
the alleged murder of his employer
Spaulding was with Gibson in the tim
Der lot when the man was killed.
Spaulding testified that there was not
word spoken by Leighton or his sons.
Walter and Newell, both of whom have
been indicted on the same charge as thei,
father, TO Gibson. Spaulding said that
Gibson had drawn away one load of
logs, the ownership of which it appears
was in dispute, and was preparing 10
get another load when he was fired upon
Other witnesses gave testimony along
lines similar to that of Spaulding. IL is
likely that the trials of the two sons OF
Leighton viii be taken up the first Of
