s 'TALKS and TALES With and About CAPITAL’S GUESTS Without fantare of trumpets, formal announcement or extra preparations, n, mayor of the nation’s | wreatest city, slipped into Washing- | ton last night, lingered a brief spell, nd then quletly left for Palm Beach, "la, whither he has gone to recu- ! verate after his recent siege of ill- ness.. When greeted by William F. Shana- | han, resident manager of the Lee! Touse, who served on Tammany's finance committee during the popular offictal’s last campaign, and one or | two mutual friends, the New York | city exccutive spoke most optimisti- cally of conditions in general, seemed ghly elated that the national demo- | tic convention would be held in!

Barcelo, president of the Porto Rlcan senate. when interviewed at the hotel. A 1ing of restlessness as to the future is natural and to be expected of all intclligent and reasonable peoples. | They are not satisfied with mere ! Liopes nor expectations. They wish mf ow, they desire to be certain, and | this {5 specially true when the future | of a whole people depends, as ours | does, not on what they may do, but on the will and policies of others. dt is our great fortune, however, at in our: dealing with | the people the United States of | Amerlca—a peoplc that does not deem itself infallible and that, bec: use of its fraternal and democratic convie- lons, Is ever open to conviction.” Mr. celo said that conditions | generally “on th island are most | that marked friendly xisted between Porto Ricans and Americans. Memorials have been presented both to the House of Representatives and | the Senate. and the delegation has paid its respects to President Cool- wige, where, ording to M. Barcelo, it was received most cordially. Several of the younger members of the mission were most anxious to learn all intricacies of the Teapot Dome Jnvestigation. but as” ‘their nglish was limited and belng una- | ble to even translate the name of the pesky squabble ‘into Espanol, the Ixer felgned dizziness and beat a hurried exit.

The varying | angles of all vital issues had been | thoroughly considered. Several Tea- | pot Dome lawyers had finished their | newspapers, when one of the Slater| twins commented on the marked ten- dency of presidential candidates to stress their down-on-the-farm affilia- tions. | This new I'm-a-farmer slogan seems | to have all of 'em going,” opined | Bill Hart, as he got up to greet!

Lowden, in the White House. Back in the Hlinois gubernatorial | campaign of 1904 the same mn.lm.m prevailed. The fight for the Immnm- tion was a red-hot one. Gov. Rich-' ard Yates, Mr. Lowden, Lawrence Sherman, Vespatian Warner, Charles Deneen and one or two others were al each other's throats. They pranced up and down the state roddllng the farmess and featuring sun-bonnets. A well defined plan to belittle Gov. Lowden's famillarity with farm life was started by his opponent: They all were crying 'What does Mr. Lowden know about milking a cow? ' “This reached the candidate, who prided himself on his big Oregon, 1. farm and his ability to work it, raise < his ire, and goaded him to such an cxtent that in one speech he came | out flatfooted and said: **'I was unaware that one of the re- quirements to the gevernor' was ability to milk a cow such is the case, let me say here that | I challenge any of my opponents to & cow-milking contest, catch-: ¢fl-| catch-can, Graeco-Roman, or just vlain, old-fashioned Illinols, at unvt place, any time, and with any kind of cow.!
