Congressman Edward Cooper, Of
the Fifth district. has not yet re-i
ceIved his certificate Of election from
Governor Hatfield and is the only
member Of the delegation in Con-
gress who has not. The reason for
the delay in his case is a pending
litigation in the courts over the vote
cast in 4. precinct in Wyoming coun-I
ty where the ballot boxes disappeared
and the ballots destroyed, but not un-
til the ballots had been counted and
certified at the voting place and IN
triplicate form. The sheriffalty or
Wyoming county is the stake being
played for by the lltiEants. The pre-
cinct in question is classed q strong
Democratic one. but NIr. Cooper
swung it with one majority oyer his
opponent. Mr.. Wiles.
The Fifth district vote, as coll
lected1 personally BY Mr.. Cooper and
verified by him. shows that he carried
the district by 1869 majority. He
was high man in the district On his.
ticket. which is considered by his
friends and admirers a splendid trib-5
ute to him. He carried Mercer BY
1856; Mcdowell by 3,477; Wyoming
by 416; Lincoln by 35--n total of
4,412 votes.

SUN. STARS AND PLANETS
WORKING FOR HUGHES
Astrologer Predicts Election and
Wilson's Downfall.

Take it from Gustsve Meyer, Hobo
ken's demon astrologer, it's all fixed
for Charles Evans Hughes TO be the
next President Of the United States.
He can't lose, because the stars are
for him.
Persistent slanting at the heavens
since Mr. Hughes was nominated has
revealed to Professor Meyer the fol-
lowing facts That they are ultra
significant goes without saying:
The Zodiacal sign OF Leo WAS rising
when Mr.. Hughes was born. Since the
ruling planet OF this sign is the sun,
the sun will be his ruling planet
through life, and as the sun was posted
in the Tenth Mansion of the Heavens
he was born 10 rise in life far above
his station at birth.
Since the sun was posted in the
Zodiacal sign of Aries, which is the
home of the planet Mars, Mr.. Hughes
will always be inspired by the most
honorable. just and upright motives
and will be able 10 make himself felt
without saying a word. He probably
will be reelected.
President Wilson's star, Professor
Meyer observes, is just setting, never
10 rise again. Theodore Roosevelt will
support the Republican candidate and
enhance his prestige, which, the star
gazer finds, he has done already by
declining the Bull Moose nomination.

DEMOCRATS ARE TOLD
Sprigg, Former Wilson Man,
Turns on President.

Cresap Sprigg, organizer and chair
man of the Democratic Union of New
Jersey and an ardent supporter OF
President Wilson in his last campaign,
wants the Democratic Convention TO
declare either for Champ Clark or
Theodore Roosevelt From his home in
Essex Fels. y. J.. he sent the follow
ing telegram yesterday. addressed 70
Senator James F.. MARITIME and the
chairman of the convention:
"A fool may give advice which the
wise men of the National Democratic
Convention will do well TO heed. Re
turn TO Americanism of Washington,
Jefferson. Jackson, Monroe. Lincoln
and Roosevelt. Name candidates
worthy of the nations support.
THE attempt 70 supplant ideals Of
Jefferson with party combination for
spoils. ia a monumental crime against
Democracy, though disguised under
cloak of fine rhetoric. Wilson's cant
and hypocrisy are a menace 10 the
dignity Of this nation and will no
longer be tolerated by an enlightened
Democracy.
Common decency demands that the
Presidential nomination be offered to
Champ Clark. II he declines. then in
the interests Of America indorse Theo-
dore Roosevelt. and name for Vice
Presidency Democrat OF equal
sagacity and manhood The Democratic
party may no longer champion

Reporter Bryan Delinquent.
The Senator continued TO recount

WAS one record which he could not
break. Men who sat near the great
Commoner assert that Mr. Bryan cried

James could not make Bryan cry at all.

"the old free silver craze" and quickly
looked about 10 ascertain |hether any
thing was going to hit him in the back
of the neck. But Bryan was not on
the job.
In fact. his delinquency was exposed

81 Louis. June -. Ollie James
looks a great deal like JEFF Tesreau, Of
the Giants. although the Kentucky
Senator carries more Of the white
mans burden around his waistline. jeff
was once quoted as saying; when !
can sweat can pitch" Maybe that
js the way with Ollie's speaking. In
addressing the Democratic convention
to-day he was profuse and effective.
The Senator showed that an Irwin
Cobb accent may go far in American
notifies If only it is held 10 the tsrif
and currency legislation and denied the
privilege of straying down the byways
of humorous negro dialogue.
There are $50 pounds of ollie (st
least there were at the beginning OF
his speech, and every ounce was de-
voted 10 earnestness. He warmed up
the Democrats and roasted the Repub-
lcans by pouring their tariff soup
houses down their necks.
So eloquent was James that ne IN
duced a number OF honest toilers who
cash checks only by grace OF the man
around the corner 70 get on their feet
in order to howl approval Of the Fed
eral Reserve Act.
Much OF the speech was Of the stump
variety. but its rhetoric was shredded
with sense The Senator had his au-
dience so we'll in hand that it did not
laugh when he cheerfully predicted a
Democratic sweep in Heaven. Mr.
James was confident that there would
be no boilers in the host on high. He
even undertook 70 speak for the Gre
ator in praise Of Wilson. Great Is
Allah, and ollie is his prophet.
Sees Wilson at Judgment Seat.
Thus. in part, Senator James piet-
ured the Day of Judgment IN IT'S rela-
tion 10 the Democratic party:
When the last great day snail come
and before the court Of Cod the ma
lions of this earth shall march IN ludg-
ment review. the monarchs OF the Ola
World shall have TO answer for TINS

light streaming upon his head and near

committee. lie wasn't quite sure to-
night that he would accept the place,
although the Presidents telegram was
urgent.
Mr.. Mccormick is known as a Gold
Democrat, and when the news of his
selection became known to-day charges
were at once made by delegates from
Erie. Penn. that in 1896 he refused 20
support William Jennings Bryan for
President and gave his aid TO the cleo
tion Of Mckinley. In Pennsylvania,
however, Mr.. Mccormick is known as
hustling Progressive Democrat-one Of
the little group that helped put Colonel
Jim GufTey, once the Democratic boss
of that state, out Of business politi-
cally.
The Presidents selection Of Mr. Me
Cormick is looked upon as direct bid
for the Bull Moose vote. Two years
ago he was the Democratic and the
Progressive candidate for Governor OF
Pennsylvania against Governor Brum-
baugh. When he was nominated the
Progressives liked him so well that
they withdrew their own candidate for
Governor and supported him. Mr.. Nc

The X-ray photographs taken of the

of coughing. A thorough examination
Yesterday at the hands OF his physi-

the physicians office with his nephew,
