A^- TI-HAXXA CONTINGENT IN COLUMBUS MESSAGES ARE FLYING PAST Friends of Forakep and His Power ful Opponent Are Not All Lined Ip on the Sides Their Lead ers Have Taken COLUMBUS, Ohio., Jan. 2.—The contest between Republican factions over the or ganization of the legislature is still in doubt, so far as the officers of the house are concerned. Price and McKinnon, the rival can&idates for speaker, both pro fess to be confident of victory. Six mcm l is of the house are said to have made no pledges-to either tide, and it is con ceded that they hold the balance of ] ower. Communication was ffequent today fn'ni the homes of Senator Hanna in \\ ashington, Senator Foraker in Cincin nati, Congressman Dick in Akron, and Congressman Taylor in Columbus. There was much communication with all the counties in which doubtful members re- Blde. The most prominent arrival was George B. Cox. the Cincinnati leader, who in sists that he is "as good a friend of Sen ator Hanna as ever," but that he was pledged to Price for speaker before the junior Ohio senator broke with Price, and that he is here now to do all he can for Price. The leadership of the anti-Hanna side was conceded to Mr. Cox on his ar rival. Dick Will Have Opposition. Jt is claimed the developments today indicate that Congressman Taylor, of the old McKinley district, will likely be an opponent of Congressman Dick for the next Republican gubernatorial nomina tion, and that Taylor is working as hard for Price as Dick is working for McKin non. The lines have been distinctly drawn on the old question of local option. The liquor associations have representatives h< re for Price, and the Ohio Anti-Saloon league for McKinnon. In the last legis lature Price opposed the Clark local op tion bill, and McKinnon supported it. Borne of Senator Hanna's closest friends are for Price for local and personal rea sons, and some of Senator Foraker's friends are for McKinnon. The senior senator himself is actively working for Price, and the junior senator for McKin non. Althoilgh Senator Wirt is said to bo still in the contest for president pro tern of ihe senate, there does not seem to be much formidable opposition to Senator Archer for this place. The house places are all filled by the speaker, and it is for the control of that office that the factions ere lighting. Dix Denies Mixin« In. AKRON, Ohio, Jan. 2.—Chairman Dick, of the Republican state committee, said today he would not go to Columbus to take part in the contest over the organ ization of the legislature, as reported He said that he would remain in Akron until his holiday vacation is over, when he will return to Washington. "I am keeping out of the fight," he eaid. "and have nothing to say. I have no intention of going to Columbus at the present time." A Defense of the^ Flirt. Macmillan's Magazine.

While scientists are ,'puzzling their brains to find out the cause, each indi vidual can, by a little precaution, avoid the chances of contracting dreaded and dangerous kidney trouble, or eradicate It completely from their system if already afflicted. Many precious lives might have been, and many more can yet be saved, by paying attention to the kidneys.

JUST WATCH TEXAS JOE BAILEY AXD HIS BIV AL, CUL* BEItSOX, WILL ENGAGE IX A MIGHTY BATTLE a ,', NO QUARTER WILL BE GIVEN! Bailey's Declaration for Gorman I* Regarded as the Opening Signal \ of the Contest-Cnlberson Hard to Beat. &-/ 81?^' Tex ' Jan- 2--Senator Bailey, declaration for Gorman lor president ™i* £ f f owed later by the announce ment that Senator Culberson is for some- j body else. Bailey's expressed preference ! for Gorman opens the fight for the con trol of the delegation to the next na- ! tional convention, and also for the state machine. The man who win* will be: the whole thing in Texas, because who ever controls the Democratic macr.ine i here nomina^s govern and th'nga : and runs the legislature. Bailey, with his usual impetuosity, la first in the ring. It will be a long time before any authoritative information can be obtained as to how Culberson stands. i Not that Culberson Is vacillating. O.i I the contrary, he is bold when his mind is made up. This was shown by his stubborn stand on the prize fight issue some years ago, when he cost the state some $80,000 to prevent the contest be tween Corbett and Fitzsimmons. He is a last-ditch scrapper when he has the battlefield well lined out. But he is de liberate. He will wait. Will Be an Elegant Fight. ' ' There is not in the whole country such a pretty fight as this win be. There cannot be found in any other state such, men as Culberson and Bailey. Botn. ' are young. Both are orators of renown. Both have followings which would fol- . low their leadership into the other world If It were necessary. But they are in. every way antithetical. While they may. agree in the main as to Democratic poli cies and Democratic principles, in almost ! everything else they are far apart as the poles. •! In most of his political battles up to ; this time Senator Bailey has been fortu nate. .He has never gone up against a man whose lance was as long or as strong j as his. He has been liko a stake horsa | In a gang of selling platers. But wben. he hits the Culberson machine he hits something which has an equally long string of victories to its credit, ana which lias been hitherto considered in- \ vincible.
