DEMOCRATS WEAK
IN THE HOUSE

''The greatest loss sustained by the
Democratic party since its advent to
power was the election of Oscar w.
| Underwood to the United States Sen
ate" declared a disgruntled Demo
cratic member of Congress recently.
"Oscar has taken a back seat in the
upper branch of Congress, where Sen
ator Reed does all the talking and
Senator Stone does all the bossing
But when Underwood was chief engi-
neer in the House the machinery was
always well oiled. I have been in Con
gress over a score of years, and never
in my experience in that body have
things been in such a chaotic state as
at present, and it is all on aceount of
lack of leadership. Here we are well
along into April, and nothing of i'm
portanee done. Preparedness waits on
revenue legislation, and revenue waits
on preparedness, with the chief magis-
trate injecting discord from day to
day. / am certain of reelection, and,
for my part, l will be glad to return
to a minority status.
"When Oscar Underwood was our
leader we accomplished things. The
wishes of the President were carried
out and our confidence in Underwood S
leadership gave assurance Of harmony;
now everybody is pulling seven ways
for Sunday and We can't get anything
done. We are getting into a legislative
wilderness which calls for a Demo
cratic Moses to lead US out"

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it ineurable. Science has
proven Catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

"What the 'Old Guard fear is a

hat the decision of the convention

appalling loss of life and the country

PREDICTS R~ooSEvELT's
DEFEAT IN CONVENTION

In discussing the probable nominee
of the Chicago convention, John Cal
Ian O'Laughlin has the following TO
say in a recent issue of the Chicago
Herald:
teColonel Theodore Roosevelt cannot
be nominated for the presidency az the
Republican national convention is the
claim of the sOld Guard as a result
of the scrutiny given to the delegates
already elected. 1t is declared that Of
the delegates elected or candidates
now running at least 600 are opposed
to the colonel. There viii be 9S5 dele
gates in the convention under the new
apportionment. Therefore a substan-
tial majority will go down the line to
nominate some other than the Sage Of
Oyster Bay.

up the convention on the first ballot:

added Fultz, For the players to have
a member in the commission certainly
would be a fine thing. The reported

commission Of three mem bers, one rep

was some dispute between the leagues
and the players, and the matter came
TO a vote, il would be two to one
against the players, in case the COM

The fact is that when Dillon was in

Guarantees Too Large.
As long as New York and Mlwau-
talent fancy guarantees it is natural
they will not be disposed to accept
smaller purses for longer fights. Men
like Welsh, Clabby and Gibbons will
continue in shOrt-distance bouts until
they have lost their drawing powers
and find themselves forced to rehahili-
tate themselves Then, as your Leach
Cross did on several occasions, they
will be willing to accept 20-rOund
fights for smaller money
Boxing was in the same condition
20 years ago as it is now. Jim Cor

crossed in uplifting the stage. Finally

more than any man in the world to

plane it has enjoyed for many years.
Yet in a letter to the writer. Coffroth

game he loves more than anything else.
in the hope Of rectifying matters and
thus revive interest in the sport
Coffroth writes as follows:
