GROOMING WILLIAMS
FOR VICE PRESIDENCY.
Friends May Offer Resolution to In-dorse-Mlnorlry
Leader In Mis

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

on reliable authority tht at the Demo
cratic State Convention, to be held In this
city next month, a resolution will be of
feied irglng the nomination of Congress
man John Sharp Williams as the candi
date for Vice President . and pledging the
delegation to work for this end In the St.
Lctls convention.
Whether this resolution will be a6opted
Is a doubtful-question. Some of the friends
of Mr. Williams are advising against It,
being of the. opinion that the Democratic
minority leader would --prefer to take
chances on capturing the speakership In
event of Demosratic victory In the presi
dential election, rather than be practically
burled m the vice presidency.
There was some discussion of the mat
ter amcrg the members, of the State Ex
ecutive Committed, who are In the city
to-day to attend the meeting called for
the purposo of arranging the date for the
State Convention. If Mr. Williams destrt
the vlce-presldentlal nomination and no
word trom him or his Intimate political
associates has been received "Indicating
that he does It Is a foregone conclusion
that tbe State delegation will be pledged
to work in his bhalf.

weeks with what Is said to be Bright's
disease.
Mr. Roberts has been one of the strong
est supporters of Mr. Akins. Ho was
originally from Springfield. During tho
political career of Mr. Akins, Mr. Roberts
has been his closest friend and most act
ive worker In the State. The appoint
ment as Collector of tho Internal Revenue
In Kansas City was no surprise. Since

been active in politics there.
ROOSEVELT WAS PARTICULAR.
Did Not Like Looks of Senator Hop
kins's Proteges for Appointment.
According to local Republican politicians
.who claim to bo Jn touch with the Wash
ington situation, the chances of Bert Nor
tonl's receiving the appointment of As
sistant United States Attorney General
for the Post-Oince Department are very
bright
It is said that two men whom Senator
Hopkins of Illinois presented for tho con
sideration of President Roosevelt were
taken to the White House and inspected.
Tho Inspection was brief and to the point,
something on the order ot a police exam
ination. According to tho reports which
have reached here, the President called
Senator Hopkins into his office and said
that ho wanted better material than the
two applicants whom the Illinois states
man had produced.
Ponding the failure of Senator Hopkins
to "produce." it Is said that the friends
of Bert Norton! arc hopeful. His Inter
view with the President Is said to hae
been entirely satisfactory, especially as
his record In St. Louis was known to
tho President. "But until Bert lands the
prize," said one of his friends yesterday,
"no are still from Missouri. We have
shown the President, and are now waiting
for him to show us."

and by the knowledge that tho Democ
racy will concentrate Its efforts In that
State,. the Republican organizers are do
ing their utmost to further the Joe Can
non vico presidential boom. Tho Speaker
is most unwilling, as he always has been,
to relinquish his foremost place In the
House and tbe second place of the nation
hi power to make a race for the empty
though high honor attaching to the Vice
Presidency.
Aa with tho 'Vice Presidency, Republic
ans have been at sea as to the national
chairman. Only a fow days ago, how
ever. It was practically announced that
Governor Franklin Murphy of New Jer
sey was to undertake this heavy responsi
bility. Now the Republican leaders are
anxious that Senator Aldrlch should serve.
The logic of such an arrangement is de
clared to lie In the very patent fact that
Senator Aldrlch can come nearer than any
other man to providing that very neces
sary Republican campaign material
cash. The first thing that will confront
the national chairman is the matter of
funds, and Just there lies the great dif
ficulty In replacing Senator Hanna.
DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN.
The problem of finding a Democratic
chairman is an entirely different matter,
and conjectures as to who the manager
will be are much more speculative, since
it Is not determined who the party leader
will be. For the first time a movement
In this direction has appeared which pos
sesses some substance. New York Dem
ocratic powers, especially those gentle
men Interested in the candidacy of Chief
Justice Alton B. Parker, favor the se
lection of Senator Gorman of Maryland as
chairman, and the Indications' are that,
should Parker be successful. Senator Gor
man will be the campaign manager.
But Senator Gorman has not been ap
proached in any definite fashion by the
New Yorkers, and will not be committed
finally to the Parker movement. It Is
known that up to a certain point he
"sympathizes" with " much that Judge
Parker represents'.
Still, he favors sending uninstructed
delegations from as many Southern and
Eastern States as possible. In order that
questions affecting; the candidate and the
platform may be tully thrashed out In the
jit. Louis Convention.
It Is definitely understood that, though
In a receptive mood himself. Senator Gor
man believes tn the advisability ot nomi
nating such a man as Judge Parker. But
a disinclination la appearing among the
chief Democratic Influences from lexas.
the West and the South against accepting
Parker as wholly a David B. Hill man
and standing on a Democratic platform.
This dissatisfaction with the New York
platform range9 aU the way from denun
ciation of It, lock, stock and barrel, by
Western men. to conservative criticism of
its platitudinous and Indefinite character.
Take this fact. In conjunction with
Hill's close Identification with Parker, and
the Chief Justice's chances become somewhat-
diminished. All this Is encouraging
to the sponsors of "favorite-son" move
ments, and Is pointed to as another sign
that Senator Francis Marion Cockrell
may be the only solution of the compli
cations between men and proposed plat
forms, which even now have arisen.
BOURKH COCKRAN.
Bouike Cockran's denial that he re
ceived pay for his McKlnley speeches In
1S3S, and the substantiation which his
statement has received, places the great
est orator of tho Eastern branch of the
Democracy In good standing with his
party as It Is represented in Washing
ton. The triumph over the accusation by
Dalzell of Penns lvania, which Cockran
scored in his speech of Saturday and the
wildly enthusiastic Indorsement which his
expression of Democratic thought then
received are regarded as indicating that
almost the entire component elements of
the Democratic party can forget the sore
spots created In 1S96. and present a united
front in the coming campaign. If violent
ly anti-Cleveland and pro-slher men can
once more be in accord with Bourke
Cockran, who contributed to the first
election of McKlnley, then they can ac
cept practically all that the so-called "re
organizer" demand.
Major John Byrne, who was president
of the Democratic Sound Money League
In 1S96. declares that Mr. Cockran was not
paid u penny for his McKlnley speeches.
Major Byrne asserts also that Mr. Cock
ran expressQy stipulated at that time that
he be allowed to pay all his expenses. He
quotes Mr. Cockran as having said when
requested to take the stump:
VSIaJor Byrne, If you are a Republican,
or if the league has any connection with
the Republican organization. I can't do It.
If It Is not. I will speak only on one con
dition; that is, that I teceive no compen
sation and am allowed to pay all my ex-
"Under my management." declared Ma
jor Byrne, "Mr. Cockran made a tour of
nineteen States, speaking in all the large
cities. He never cost the league a single
dollar. Railroad fares, hotel expenses and
everything else were paid out of his own
pocket."

Catarrhal inflammation of the mucous

disease," may be either acute or chronic.
The acute form produces symptoms of
such prominence that the serious nature
of the disease Is at once suspected, but
the chronic variety may come on so grad
ually and Insidiously that Its presence to
not suspected until after it has fastened
Itself thoroughly upon its victim.
At the appearance of the first symptom
Peruna should be taken. This remedy
