The future career of the veto bill was apparent to all politicians and its eventual acceptance by the house of lords not doubted. Premier Asquith dispelled all clouds by communicating Informally to Mr. Balfour, leader of the oppo sition in the house of commons, the substance of an announcement which, he made in that house Mondays His letter, which Mr. Balfour com municated to the meeting of the lords, was as follows: . "Dear Mr. Balfour: I think it is courteous and right before any pub lic decisions are announced to let you know how we regard the pres ent situation. When the parliament bill in the form which it has now as sumed returns to the house of com mons we shall be compelled to ask that house to disagree with the lords' amendments. In the circumstances, should the necessity arise, the gov ernment will advise the king to ex ercise his prerogative to secure the passing into law of tho bill in sub stantially the Bame form in which it loft the house of commons and his majesty has been pleased to signify that ho will consider it his duty to accept and act upon that advice. Yours sincerely, "H. H.

The Nowata, Okla., county demo crats met recently and adopted these resolutions: We, the democrats of Nowata county, Oklahoma, in mass, meeting assembled, recognizing the ability, honesty and integrity of our United States senator, Robert L. Owen, and realizing that in his short service in the United States senate he has by his ability and knowledge forced recognition from that bodv that very few senators have done and not only in that bodv but through out the entire nation, and knowing that he is qualified for any office within the gift of the American people, We therefore present him to the people of tho United States for tho office of president and hope that he will recoive favorable consideration. His record in the senate is an onon book and all of his actions have been in the interests of all the people.

Mc Namara are under indictment for murder. The defense, hailing this action as a victory protecting all the numerous witnesses from danger of being quizzed before the grand jury, made public a certified transcript of Ortie McManigal's testimony before the grand jury. Thjs copy was offered as part of the defense's ob jection to the attempt to compel Mrs. McManigal, one of its witnesses, to talk to the grand jury, but it was not needed, because Judge Bordwell acted without waiting for negative, argument.

A Harrisburg, Pa., dispatch, car ried by" the Associated Press, says: "The expected split in the democratic state central committee came when the two factions in the party held separate meetings and completely re organized. The democratic congress men of Pennsylvania tried to bring about harmony but failed. While a wide difference developed on party matters, both factions agreed to one proposition, the indorsement of Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, for the democratic presiden tial nomination. Each meeting adopted such a resolution. The only other presidential boom was that of Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio. .
