COOPER KEEPS
in LIMELIGHT
Congress Not for Speaker
But for Floor Leader
of G. O. P.
GILLETT IS UNOPPOSED

Wisconsin congressman may be a
determining factor in the campaign for
the organization of the house in the
next congress and Representative Hem
~ Allen Cooper of this district may be
in the running for the Republican floor
leader position. No, organized organi-
cation has appeared against the re
election of Speaker Gillett and he prob
ably will not be opposed by the Re
publican members.
The contest thus far centers entirely
on the floor leader, with two avowed
candidates in the Representative
Nicholas Longworth of Ohio, with 20
years congressional experience and an
acceptable record behind him, and Rep
resentative William ]. Graham of Illi-
nois, serving his third term. The lat
ter appears as the candidate of the
western and middle western forces,
while Mr.. Longworth may be classed
as the old guard spokesman.
The Ohio and Illinois delegates have
endorsed their respective candidates
and they are now reaching out for
support in other sections, with both
claiming victory.
Radicals on Fence.
There will be 223 Republicans in the
next house, including Independents,
expected to enter the caucus for or
ganization. The Graham forces assert
that they have promises Of support
from 100 members Of the next house,
while the friends of Mr.. Longworth
say that they are certain of 1913, with
indications that this number will be
increased.
These figures appear to be rather too
inclusive, as it is known that the La
Toilette members, 10 from Wisconsin
and about 8 radicals from other states,
will not vote for either candidate. They
intend to put forth a candidate, prob
ably Representative Cooper of Wiscon-
SIN. If they should refuse to join
either faction, the advantage would be
with the regular Republicans.
Seek Democrat Help.
The plan of the radicals is to form
an independent group in the Republi-
can party and devote themselves en-
tirely to the promotion of radical leg
islation, such as repeal of the Esch-
Cummins act and revision of the rev.
enue laws, including tax on undivided
profits. Their leaders say that they
are not interested in the fight for Off
GERS of the house, as the next Repub-
lican floor leader will be an empty
honor and control of legislation will
rest with the bloc, which will ignore
party lines and hope to bring Demo-
Gratis to their support.
If the LaFollette radical bloc refrains
from throwing its weight to either fac
ton, Longworth will win easily, and
even with the radicals aiding Graham
the situation favors the former because
the rest of the country will not look
upon Illinois getting such a powerful
positionin the next house as it would
have with floor leader and the chair
manship Of the appropriations commit
tee remaining in Represe sentative Mad
den of Illinois.

MANY RECOGNIZE aTHoMAs., ;,

William Waldron, alias Charles
Thomas, did not have his preliminary
hearing in the municipal court on the
charge of forgery as the hearing was
continued until a later date. The
meeting of his alleged two wives has
not taken place in the courtroom yet
either, but it is expected that he will
be arraigned soon on the bigamy
charge. Several other persons ap-
peared at the county jail over the
weekend and identified Waldron as a
man they had known here before as
Charles Thomas" One man said he
had played ball with him under that
name, another that he had tried to sell
Waldron as Thomas" Nash car, and

said companies; and then made an
agreement with the parties by which
he would dispose of their stock on a
commission basis of % per cent of the
proceeds of sale. This necessarily in
creased the purchase price of the
property and made it possible for him
to turn it over to the companies at a
double profit. The fact that he may
not have made much from such
sources was due rather to the fact that
the transactions were not completed
than because they were not designed
to be, profitable to him. This practice
also made it an incentive to him to
urge the purchase of properties and
to use his influence as director, al
though the person upon whose judg-
ment the officers and other directors
chiefly depended to put through deals
which the Seyler Development Co. had
arranged.
The further practice after the abol-
Iition of the 10 per cent provision of
having his compensation indetermin-
ate and fixed solely by adding to the
price paid by the Seyler Development
Co. for properties to be turned over
to the two client companies as much
as the traffic would bear, necessarily
brought his own personal interests
and the interest Of the companies into
conflict.
Elbukan May Lack Quorum.
Lack of a quorum may force ad-

meeting of the Elbukan Oil Co., one

rent among interested persons indi-
Gated Saturday that the anti-Seyler
faction, including the southwestern
group which controls big blocks Of
stock, will ignore the meeting.
The situation with respect to the
Elbukan Co. is somewhat different
from that of the NJ T. C. Co. The
scattered condition of NJ. T. c. stock
among small shareholders made it
possible for the faction able to gather
the most proxies to control the an
nual meeting, providing sufficient
proxies could be obtained to have more
than so per cent of the outstanding
stock represented at the meeting. On
ly about $4,000 shares of the M. T. G..

bulk of it being, scattered among
