CONFERENCE IS ARRANGED
Candidate for Campaign Manager
Coming to W ashington to Present
Claims War Secretary Busy
Closing Up Official Affairs.
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

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.

Prefers Scats to Scenery.
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.

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

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.

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. Boole on Rheumatism and any medical advice
