WASHINGTON. June 29. Secretary Taft today successfully combined his of ficial riutif-s with nolltlcs. His diversi fied abilities never had a better Illustra tion than they had from 11 o'clock this mornine until 6 o'clock tonight. At in tervals during that period he discussed the most intricate problems arising in the War Department and conferred -with po litical friends and advisers respecting the "most delicate affairs of the approaching political camDaicn. By far the most important conference of the day In genuine Interest was tnat t-i-i i i .1 .us. . ..n .w.n with 9 (lain. .WJlltril lie Iliiu iiiia j.nwivw. .......

A. Gilbert, estate Auanor, iviitia n ToqiiinFinn tn nrere Secretarv Taft favorably to consider Arthur Vorys In the selection or a isationai timii juau. J JV;tr Results in Ohio. ' They discussed the matter with Secre tarv Taft at considerable length, indi cating to him that the appointment of Mr. Vorys meant much to the iteptiDiican .organization in Ohio. They expressed an apprehension that the selection of Mr. Hitchcock, for Instance, or almost any body else than Mr. Vorys, might tend to disrupt the organization In Ohio, wnicn largely had been built by Mr. vorys. At tho conclusion of the conference. although Secretary Taft did not indicate to the delegation what his intentions were, he authorized the members to tele graph to Mr. Vorys requesting him to come to Washington and meet him on next Wednesday. Secretary Taft, who was asked this evening what might likely be the nature of the conference with Mr. Vorys, replied laughingly, "Well,! fancy we shall talk some politics, even though the weather be hot." "When will you see Mr. Hitchcock?" the Secretary was asked. Hitchcock Must Walt. "I understand." he replied, "that Mr. Hitchcock is in the city, but I have not seen him and I shall not see him until I am a private citizen. Tomorrow I shall be so deeply ingrossed with the depart mental matters which I am trying to clear up for my successor. Governor .Wright, that I shall have little time to devote to personal or political matters. ' Then, turning to Governor Wright, Sec retary Taft said, smilingly: "They call Governor Wright 'General,' but that is merely a polite title. He is really a Gov ernor, and after next Wednesday Gen erals will bow to him: On Wednesday morning I have directed that all the bureau and division chiefs of the War De partment shall meet here to greet the ;new Secretary of War. The Army om- cers will be expected to appear In full uniform. "That direction has been given," sug gested the Secretary, laughingly, "in or der that I may make myself solid with the military vote." Hitchcock in Washington. ' Frank H. Hitchcock, secretary Taft's "Washington manager, arrived here today from Chicago and will be engaged for .several days In the work of closing up the Taft headquarters in this city. Mr. Hitchcock declined to discuss for pub lication the National charmanship ques tion. He said he expected to have a conference with Secretary Taft in a day or two, but pending the Interview he could say nothing. Every effort was made to learn some thing definite respecting the choice or National chairman, but Secretary Taft himself this afternoon said: "No announcement concerning the Na tional chairmanship will be made until 1 have conferred further with the sub committee of the National committee. That conference will be held at Hot Springs, Va. Mrs. Taft has informed me that she will be ready to leave vvasn- lngton for Hot Springs next Friday. I shall, therefore, notify the members of the subcommittee to meet me there on July 8. THe chairmanship matter will be determined then, and not Detore then. Among the big tasks with which the Secretary was confronted today was the signing of thousands of letters In response to congratulatory letters. Wright Looks Over Job. General Wright, who arrived from New York late last night, appeared at the War Department shortly after 10 o'clock today and had conferences with General J. Franklin Bell, chief of staff, and General Clarence R. Edwards, chief of the Bu reau of Insular Affairs. "I understand." said General Wright, "that this position of Secretary of War Is something of a Job, and 1 propose to try to familiarize myself with its de tails. I do not expect to take a vacation In the ordinary sense of -the term, but will remain right here during the greater part of the Summer. Mrs. Wright will remain at Memphis for a few weeks, and then will go to the home of our daughter up in New York State. I may join her for a brief period.

Six of these are from the District of Columbia, the con test having been filed today, and seven are from the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Pennsylvania Congressional districts.

The committee on convention ar rangements paid a visit today to ine Auditorium, which was pregnant in results as far as increasing the seating capacity of the hall is concerned, but which brought woe to Mr. WiUison. the architect. That gentleman, with a keen professional eye to the beauty and finished character oi had arranged the seating capacity in such a way as to produce the most pleasing effect on the eye of the spec tator. In so doing, however, he had left a considerable amount of vacant floor space, much of which was in ex tra width given to the aisles. When the members of ti.e committee visited the hall today, their eyes at once fast ened upon this extent of empty floor, and Roger C. Sullivan, of Illinois, at once asked why more chairs could not be placed. "It would injure the scenic effect, replied Mr. Willison. Over 1000 Scats Added. Mr. Sullivan in a single energetic sentence gave vent to the opinion that what the committee desired was seats, seats and then more seats, and that scenic effect could take its chances or betake itself to any place It might choose to go. The other members of the committee, whose lives are made burden by the unceasing aemana ior tickets, cordially supported me crit icisms and contentions of Mr. Sullivan and the net result was that the seating capacity of the hall was at once in creased from the original number of 11.538 to more than 12.700. The mem bers of the committee are now por- !nir over the blue prints in the er- fort to Bee if they cannot still further increase the possible number of ad missions. The alterations suggested today also resulted in allowing 75 addi tional seats for members of the press. Denver Given Plenty. The local committee on convention arrangements, headed by Mayor R. w. Speer and C. W. Franklin and C. M. Day. members of the Denver Conven tion League, held a conference today with the National committee relative to the number of seats to be allowed to the - people of Denver. They were given the assurance that the city peo ple would be amply provided for. The National committee, which for several days has been roosting In cramped quarters on one of the upper floors of the Brown Palace Hotel, to day moved Into the more commodious quarters on the parlor floor, which It will occupy until after the convention has adjourned. by James J. Purccll and Samuel Denedry. labor leaders of Washington, D. C, who will probably attend the Denver conven tion. After their visit they said they were satisfied with Mr. Bryan's- attitude on the question of court injunctions and they believed a plank that would please the labor interests of the country would be made a part of the Democratic Na tional platform. TALK OVER DENVER PLATFORM W. W. Black, of Everett, "Wash., Confers 'With Bryan. LINCOLN, Neb., June 29. After an hour's visit with William J. Bryan, Judge W. W. Black,' of Everett, Wash., delegate to the Democratic National convention, declared that he believed the National platform would contain a strong anti-injunction plank. The plank in the Republican platform is considered weak by both' the corpora tions and the laboring men, according to Judge Black, but the Democratic platform will speak In no uncertain terms, he believes. John W. Kern, of Indiana, was the only candidate for the Vice-Presidency mentioned by Mr. Black. He thought geographical location would have nothing to do with the selection of a candidate for Vice-President. The candidate must first of all be a Bryan man, he said. John W. Kern would be entirely acceptable to the Bryan men of the country, according to Judge Black-. GRAY MEN VISIT COMMONER Believe Bryan's Strength Overesti mated Injunction Is Talked. LINCOLN, Neb., June 29. The mana gers of Judge George Gray's Presidential canvass,' Joslah Marvel, of Wilmington, Del., and J. R. Beamish, of Philadelphia, arrived In Lincoln this afternoon and paid a promised visit to Mr. Bryan. The two gentlemen were frank in declaring they were doing no missionary work for the Nebraska candidate, but they be lieved Judge Gray had a chance to win and they were working hard to that end. Their feeellng for Mr. Bryan, they said, was cordial, but Mr. Marvel said he was sure Mr. Bryans" friends were counting on more votes than they actually had. The strength of Governor Johnson, Mr. Marvel thought, had been under-estimated, but he did not consider Mr. John son as serious a rival of Mr. Bryan as was Judge Gray. This evenliuj Mr.' Bryan was visited FAVOR A GOOD ROADS PLANK Illinois Delegates Converted by Au tomobile Trip to Lincoln. LINCOLN, Neb., June 29. The mem bers of the Illinois delegation visited W. J. Bryan at Falrvlew today. They were shown through the house and grounds by Mr. Bryan. The party, bound for Denver in seven automobiles, had a most discouraging experience on .the way from Omaha to Lincoln. Rain and mud Impeded the progress of the machines. "Will you support the good roads plank at the Denver convention?" asked Mr. Bryan, assuming a serious air. "We are unanimously for It," an swered one of the members of the dele gation. .

HILL DENIES INTERVIEWS Says Did Not Call Johnson "Poor house Candidate." ALBANY. N. V., June 29. Albert E. Hoyt, editor of the Argus, received from Paris today the following cablegram from Governor David B. Hill, referring to an Interview which was puDlished widely as coming from Mr. Hill on the day he sailed for Europe. In this interview, Mr. Hill was quoted as referring to Governor John con as "the poor-house candidate," criti cising Mr. Bryan and saying that "there is no Democratic party."

Metzger'g- A.CUREJFJ3R Rheumatism is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood, which is carried through the circulation to all portions of the system. Every muscle, nerve, bone and joint absorbs the acrid, pain-producing poison, causing aches, inflammation, stiffness and other well known symptoms of the disease. Permanent relief from the pains and discomfort of Rheumatism cannot be expected from the use of liniments, plasters, and other external treatment which does not reach the blood, where the cause i3 located. Such measures give temporary relief, but in order to cure Rheumatism the uric acid and inflammatory poison must be expelled from the blood. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism because it is a perfect blood purifier. It goes down into the circulation, neutralizes the uric acid and drives it from the blood. S. S. S. expels the irritating, inflammatory matter which is causing the pain, swell ing and other discomfort, enriches the weak, sour blood, and permanently cures Rheumatism. In all forms of Rheumatism, whether acute or chronic, S. S. S. will be found a safe, vegetable remedy, possessing the properties needed to cure, and at the same time a medicine that builds up the entire system by its fine tonic efiects.
