Lively scenes occurred in the Leg
tslature Friday when Representative
Humphrey charged Representative
Harvey of Webster county, Of having
improper relations with a chamber
maid at the hotel in Frankfort. The
charge seems to be unfounded and
the affair is little appreciated by the
people over the State. They prefer
to hear about that State deficit and
let the little chambermaid go on
about her work.

POLITICAL TOPICS.
(By Frussell.)

LOUISVILLE, n.y., FeD. 10, 1915.
The Lincoln Day Banquet on last
Saturday, the 18th, was a Repub-
lican function of considerable pro-
portions. Five hundred and fifty sat
at the feast, the second of its kind
given by the Lincoln Protective Lea
que of Louisville.
Mayor William Hale Thompson, of
Chicago, was the principal guest and
speaker; Judge George DuRelle was
a gracious and pleasing toastmas-
ter, Mr.. Edwin P. Morrow made one
of his best and drew much applause
when he touched on the question Of
National Preparedness and gave it
boost and his endorsement. He al
so stated that his plan for prepared
ness includes a change in administra-
ton as the first essential and sug-
gested that the present administra-
ton was lacking in diplomacy and
had set up in it's stead 9. school of In
ternational Correspondence. ~
E. T. Franks, of greensboro, spoke
on the Subjects 1t Worth the
Cost?" 1t was well and forcibly put
and contained much valuable COM
mercial trade information.
Judge 0'Rear spoke on the sub
ject-"If Lincoln Could Come Back"
He took some latitude, touched on
national questions, favored adequate
preparedness and had the audience
with him from the beginning. He is
highly regarded by the rank and file
of his party and enjoys the respect
and confidence of all the leaders.
This annual Republican dinner on
Lincoln's birthday is an inspiration
to all Republicans everywhere in the
State. Each year it grows larger
and there is no doubt that next year
it will be necessary to find space for
at least eight hundred plates.
1t develops that some prominent
party men have reached the conclu-
sion that the State should send their
Chicago delegates uninstructed. The
sentiment is led by Congressman
Langley and Powers, the former be-
ing a candidate for place on the
Big Four. This idea has gathered
strength and seems to be the first
sign of an organization in opposition
to the early sentiment for former
Vice-President Fairbanks, to whom
the party leaders are really indebted,
If not in fact committed. The ques-
ton now comes up-who prompts
this non-instruction delegation? For
whom is the former Postmaster-G Cen
eral Frank Hitchcock working? His
friends say 1t is Justice Hughes, but
it is pointed out by others that the
Justice made public statement less
than ten days ago to the effect that
his name must not be used in con-
nection with the nomination and this
was in answer to a question concern
ing Mr.. Hitchcock and his Southern
friends. the former postmasters. who
are showing visible signs of activi-
ty Just now, said to be for Hughes.
The question is asked-is this
movement for Mr.. Roosevelt? Does
he really want the nomination? This
question was put to Mr.. Langley and
he said he had not talked to the ex-
President lately but expected to see
him upon his return from the West
Indies. Mr.. Langley said that he
knew that Mr.. Roosevelt did not want
Mr.. Fairbanks nominated. but he
did not indicate just who he would
support.
