WASHINGTON, July 17.-The Will
son administration, meaning thereby
the influence of the White House, was
not exercised. in opposition to the nom
ination of Governor Cox but on the
contrary an incident occurred which
hadia great deal to do with the land
slide in the final moments of the San
Francisco convention.
On returning to Washington, the
writer has verified a story which went
the rounds of the state delegations at
San Francisco in the last moments of
the balloting and which influenced
some who bad been holding out for
McAdoo to join the bandwagon for
Cox.
The story which was circulated on
the floor of the convention was that
| Senator Carter Glass had received o
telegram from the White House saying
that Cox was not unacceptable to the
President but that the Virginia SEN
ator refused to give out the telegram
because of the adverse effect it might
have on MeAdoo's chances for the
nomination.
Now the facts are these: Senator
Class did receive a telegram from Sec
| rotary Tumulty sent at the express di-
| rection of President Wilson. 1t hap
| pened this way: The New York news
papers quoted Senator Glass as having
| said in San Francisco, HCox won't do

were called to the attention of the

was promptly authorized to send a

| House that of course these stories must
be unfounded for the President wa.

ing his personal preference and wa!

CR|T|C|SES PROPOSAL
ADVANCED BY NJ 'ADOO
HOUSE LEADER MONDELL DIS
CUSSES TAXATION. EXPEN-
DITURES MUST BE CUT.

Washington, d. c., March 9.-The
lower taxes until there is a sharp
reduction in government expendi-
lures, Representative Mondell of Wy
oming, republican floor leader, de-
clared today in a statement in which
he expressed 'astonishment'' that
former Secretary McAdoo should
have recommended a new issue of
bonds as a remedy.
"Mr. McAdoo's proposal to issue
bonds to take up floating indebted
ness and to afford funds to take the
place of the interest that our for
eign creditors failed to pay would
bring panic rather than relief" Mr.
MOndell said.
The suggestion was "even more en-
traordinary, the republican leader
declared, ''in view of the fact that
the responsible officials of the treas
ury and of the federal reserve board
are unanimous in their opinion as to
the disastrous consequences of any
large issue of government bonds at
this time or at any time in the near
future"
The existing situation was attrib-
uted to the policy followed by Mr..
McAdoo when he was secretary of the
treasury. "He is," the statement
said, more than any other man, re-
sponsible for the present situation,
for it was he who planned the finan-
cial program of the war and he it
was who insisted upon the reduction
of government income while govern
ment expenditures were at their max
imum. Out of this grew the enor-
nous war overhang of over $3,0O0,-
100000 of floating Indebtedness that
constitutes constant financial men,

aggregating Thousands of dollars,
given to the Britton Milling company
of Britton by farmers of Brown, Day
and Marshall counties in payment of
stock in the company year or more
ago, are made practically valueless
by a direct verdict in favor of the de-
fendant in the case of Britton Mill
ing company VS.. T. E. Williams, an
action to collect money on one of
these notes.
The basis of defense was that the
company misrepresented it's proposi-
tion during the sale of stock by claim
ing that the Great Northern railroad
would build a line from Burch to
Britton, to connect with the Milwau-
kee and open up new trade terri
tory for the mill and elevator.

PAID BALL TEAM
FOR MADISON
BASEBALL FANS
COMPLETE ORGANIZATION.

About 80 baseball enthusiasts
were out at 8 o'clock last evening to
participate in a meeting held in the
offices of the Madison Merchants as
sociation.
Naturally the object of the meet
ing was the discussion of prospects
and plans for immediate organiza-
tion. To start things off properly
Fred Schultz was made temporary
chairman and Bud Rensch temporary
secretary.
Mr.. Henkin was present at that
time and offered to back any real
baseball proposition, both with his
influence and also bis money.
Random discussion finally simmer
ed down to a real effort to get some
thing done speedily. Uppermost in
the minds of those present was the
idea that only paid team in control
of local stock company had any
chance to be permanent or court
much success, hence move was made
to place the whole matter on the ba-
sis of $4,000 stock company. Fif-
teen hundred of that money was sub
scribed at last nights meeting and a
committee of five was appointed to
make further solicitation for a per
manent baseball organization for this
city.
In casting about for player mate
rial it was suggested that at least one

FLOWERS BOOSTS
FOR WOOD
INTERESTED AUDIENCE HEARD
WORTHWHILE FLOWERS
LAST EVENING.

These of the people of Madison,
who attended the spea king at the
Ruby theater last evening were given
real treat. for Montreville Flowers
held his audience for two hours, ex-
patiating on the superior qualities of
General. Leonard RWood as presi-
Dental candidate.
Mr.. Flowers is an excellent speak
er and has a large experience and to
say that he did General Wood ample
justicesis putting it very mildly.
OF course there was little oppor-
tunity for oratory as large part Of
his address was devoted to the life
and history and work of General
Wood.
He spoke of General Woods suo-
cess of bringing ordef out of chaos
in Cuba; of his organizing the regi-
ment of Rough Riders of which he
was named commander in chief; of
his appointment as practically the
governor general of Cuba and of his
cleaning up Santiago and giving to
the people stable government of
which they knew nothing after 400
years of Spanish rule He spoke of
his being sent to the Philippine Is
lands where he harbonized the con-
flicting elements and by tanning the
wild native chieftains, brought their
clans and tribes together and formed
a substantial and safe order of things
and impressed upon those people the
fact that the purpose of the United
States was not robbery and slavery
but to give the people a stable and
substantial government. General
Wood possesses a strong and con-
structive mind and by reason of his
broad acquaintance of the people and
country and his familiarity with pub
lie men and the public business,
would be able to gather together a
body of strong, patriotic advisers. His
allusion to the Versailles convention
and the figure that Mr.. Wilson cut
| in it took the audience by storm and
we opine that many good old demo
Gratis would say Amen" to his con-
clusion. The speaker expressed great
confidence in the candidacy of Gen.
| eral Wood and in his behalf that he
| would be nominated in this state by
an overwhelming majority

taken up by the state game and fish
department in the construction of a
large sand and gravel dam to take
the place of the fish dam that the ice

near the mouth of the Outlet. The
gravel dam will not only prevent the
escape of game fish from the lake but
will serve to hold the level of the
lake up to some extent during the
summer.
The dam is being constructed with
the big steam shovel used by the de-
partment in the construction of the
Sioux Pelican canal last season, and a
centrifugal pump for pumping grav-

press since she was granted a divorce
from Owen Moore Tuesday at Min

sons cannot agree. l went to Minden

Gladys Moore and that she was the
wife of Owen Moore and that he had
plumb deserted her when she was a
dutiful and loving wife," he said
