these two democrats that the visit
was only friendly one and had no
political significance attached to it,
did not quiet the fears OF those who
have political irons in the fire. SO
far Governor Gardner has turned a
deaf ear to the lure and call of his
many friends over Missouri to enter
the race for the democratic senatorial
nomination. but the steadily growing
strength of the pressure may force
him into the race. one story in cir
.culation before Judge Taylor had
been in jefferson City many hours
was that he was here to urge Gov
ernor Gardner to announce for the
senatorial nomination. Another rum
or was that he had come to establish
positively that Governor Gardner
would remain dormant so that he
could throw his own Chapeau into the
arena. on top of all came the report
that business men and leading demo-
Gratis of St Louis Kansas City. St.
Joseph, Springfield and other Mis-
souri, cities, had started a movement
to draft Judge Taylor to make the
race for governor with the assurance
that they would support him finan-
.cially, politically, and otherwise if he
did, and that he was anxious to learn
what Governor Gardner thought of
the proposition, but Governor Card
ner and Judge Taylor good naturcdly
denied these sensational rumors, and
insisted it was "only friendly visit

 73d Day of Fast

London October 24-I.ord Mayor Mac Swiney was still unconscious this morn. ing says the bulletin issued by the Irish Self-Determination League at p. m today-the seventy third day of the mayors hunger strike.
 "TIe opened his eyes occasionally says the bulletin, staring sometimes al Father Dominic but gave no sign oi recognition even when Father Domini, spoke to him. He lies quietly. moanin: as if in pain.
 "The restrictions suddenly imposed or the mayors relatives, limiting or proh:b- iting their access to the mayor and re- moving their facilities for communi. eating with friends outside, continue 1T force Misses May and Annie Mac Swiney remained in the waiting room ot the prison all day yesterday and re- fused to leave. Shortly after 10 o'cloc, last night an inspector and several con stables entered the room and put then out by force.
 Mrs. MacSwiney was allowed to be with her husband a little more than an hour yesterday. This extra strain and the fatigue placed on her has thought on an indisposition and she was unable te visit the prison this morning. She hopes to be sufficiently recovered to make a visit this afternoon"

London, OctOper z4.-Rremier Lloyd George, cabinet members and repSesen- tatives of the striking miners conferred for three hours today. After the miners delegates had departed thev cabinet members continued in session with MT. Lloyd George. Frank Hodges on leay- ing with the other representatives of the miners. said the discussions would be continued.
 After the meeting with the government leaders the miners executive body went into conference. which lasted until 4:9C p m. and then adjourned until tomorrow afternoon. The conversations with Mir. Lloyd George and the other members of the government will be resumed tomor- row morning.
 Hope seemed to prevail that there would be settlement of the coal strike as result of the renewal of the direct negotiations between the miners and the government. Meanwhile neither side has disclosed the nature of these negotia- : tions, but. according to unofficial re- ports Premier Lloyd George suggested some new formula which would satisfy the government that if two-shilling ad- vance in wages was conceded it would be accompanied by an increased output Nothing is known of the nature of this formula. but there seems to be strong
