to timely and National importance.
It appears certain that in any out-
come of the Baltimore convention the
of confidence in the tables put forth
by Taft’s managers. Everybody now
knows that Manager McKinley’s claims
are utterly without basis. He has
been confuted so often by events that
even the President's supporters are
I now convinced that, if he has any idea
of what support the President actually
, has, be is keeping the information to
J. himself.
A manager who claimed only a few
weeks ago to have the convention by
something like a majority, of 400 votes
and now admits that he is fighting for
control of it cannot expect his esti-
Vice Presidential nominee must come
from one of the Eastern States. Champ
Clark is from Missouri, Harmon from
Ohio, Marshall from Indiana, Under
wood from Alabama, and the dark hors
es neighing in the Presidential sta-
ble are nearly all Western or Middle
Western and Southern men.
Who shall that man be? Senator
James A. O'Gorman of New York pre-
sents some ideal qualifications for the
second place. It will be difficult to
find a Democrat who embodies better
tri
mates to be taken seriously.
Another thing generally believed is
that President Taft himself cannot
hope for renomination in the circum-
stances; that he must be fighting for
but one thing—namely, to prevent the
nomination of Colonel Roosevelt.
One other thing generally admitted
is that in the present condition of the
Republican party but one man In it has
hope of success at the polls.

ed in a caucus of Harmon followers,
held last night in the city council
chamber for the purpose of determin-
ing upon the best course to be pur-
sued by the delegates in the state
convention. .
There is one thing that the Har-
mon delegates hope to do, and that is
lay claim to the representation they
are entitled to on the three conven-
tlon committees by reason of Gover-
nor Harmon having carried a number
of senatorial districts.
It was the concensus of opinion to-
today among the Harmon delegates
that Governor Wilson had won the
state and was entitled to the Instruc-
tion; but, on the other hand, they
feel like some consideration is due
them when it comes to selecting the
members of the three convention
committees. 1
The caucus was attended by at
least 100 Harmon delegates, from
many parts of Texas, was called to

greatest judgments against an indi-

court of the United States was announc

total to $2,500,000.
The victor in” the suit is the Old

company, and while owning its stock
sold to it certain property at an enorm-
