1t has been rumored that Senator Ball

and will remain in the field until he Is
convinced that his opponents have more

FLORIDA FOR UNDERWOOD

Special Dispatch to The Star.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, November
17.-Following the usual custom, a
number of white republicans, who
have often gathered together and de-
clared for a white" republican party
in Florida. met in Orlando recently
and propose to try for the conven-
ton delegation. The regular repub-
lican party. which includes a number
of officeholders and makes no dis
tinction as to race, probably will
bide their time, and claiming the
recognition of the national commit
tee, go ahead with their organiza-
ton and work, as. always. Although
the effort to organize and make ef-
fective a white" republican party In
the state has been futile in the past,
there are some members who believe
that it can succeed or at least claim
attention and gain influence.
In the meantime It is understood
that admirers of Underwood are
working to form a strong organiza-
ton for his benefit in Florida. With
few exceptions the state newspapers
appear to admit the probability of a
democratic delegation from Florida
instructed for Underwood. Mr.. Bry-
ans outspoken opposition to the Ala
bama senator does not seem to have
had much effect.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, November II.
Political eyes were centered on
French Lick. Ind. this week, when
Charles r. Murphy. leader OF New
Yorks Tammany Hall. and George s.
Brennan. Chicago democratic boss. went
there for their customary post-election
vacations and to talk things over with
Thomas Taggart. the veteran Indiana
chieftain.
Although the three men denied that
politics was being discussed. 1t is known
they had their heads together frequently
during the week. and when three men
whose names are 50 synonymous with
democratic affairs get together 1t Is not
surprising that deep political Significance
is placed on their meeting.
As a result Of the powwows, 1t would
not be surprising to zee the democratic
national committee at its January ses-
sion take up for discussion a plan to
abrogate the two-thirds rule which has
obtained in democratic national conven-
tons for years. If the committee should
approve the plan, 1t would be submitted
to the national convention for ratifica-
tion before the balloting begins.
Confident Of Success.
So confident are these three leaders
that William G. McAdoo's presidential
aspirations can be blocked that they are
willing to forego the advantage they
would have under the two-thirdS rule
and to fight II out on a majority vote.
Murphy, Brennan and Taggart all are
opposed to McAdoo, and can be ex-
pected to stand as a unit against him.
Impressions gained at the conference
leads to the belief that what might be
termed an anti-McAdoo bloc Is being
formed, centering around the three
leaders. for the purpose Of knocking the
former Secretary of the Treasury out
Of the ring. Murphy and Brennan ex-
pect the wet states to stand with them
against McAdoo. while Taggart Will

BILL TO MAKE CO.
DOCTORS PERFORM
COUNTY PHYSICIANS SHUN DU-
TY TO POOR; SAYS CUSTER
SOLON.

Helena, Feb. 9.-Mrs. McCarty's
bill providing for medical care of in
digent persons, house bill 1O7, was
under fire for nearly an hour in the
committee Of the whole Friday after
noon, with Pilgeram in the chair, and
was finally taken off general orders
and referred to the judiciary commit
tee.
This bill provided that in the event
of failure of a county physician to
give assistance to INDECENT persons,
another physician shall be called, who
shall be paid not to exceed $25 to-
gether with mileage at the rate of 15
cents per mile, and that one-half of
such expense shall be paid by the
county physician.
DIR. Andrus of Custer county ex-
planned that in many cases county
physicians, under contract, evaded
service for poor persons, especially if
they had to make long trips into the
country, and that they should be held
responsible for the cost of employing
other medical men. He moved to in
crease the mileage allowance to 25
cents per mile, which amendment was
adopted. The question of placing the
entire expense upon the county physi-
clan was argued at some length and
without deciding this question the
measure was referred to the judiciary
committee.
Cdr. note: If DR.. Andrus is look
ing for further information on this
subject, he might come to Sheridan
county, where he could get a lot OF
