This action was taken in .Mecklenburg in order to keep other candidates from the field and so that Mr. V. W.- Haywood, a candidate from that county, could receive all of Mecklenburg's votes. Inasmuch as Wake county has a candidate for this office in the person of Mr, W. V. VVillson, Mr, Gattis thought it fair to exclude other candidates, especially since other counties have been generous to favorite sons.

'Washington, May 23. Although there is considerable demand that the house pass a resolution expelling Representative Lllley, of Connecti cut, -"from membership,, there Is a reason why no such resolution Is likely to pass. Mr. Lllley is a candidate for the republican nomination .for governor of Connecticut, He became one about the time he made his famous charges relating to grafting in connection , with the submarine boat contracts, it has developed that his activity In that matter has served to strengthen him in Connecticut. From the time when It became ap parent the investigation of his charges was to be really an investi gation of Mr. Lllley, he has gained strength on account of tho manifestly hostile attitude of the bouse. Re ports from Connecticut indicate that any movement In the direction of condemning him for daring to make such eharges and precipitating such an inquiry has added to his popu larity In Connecticut. It happens that there are. some members of the house who don't like the possibility of nominating Mr. Lllley for governor in the face of his expulsion for making the charges. Many members feel that the house does not stand any too well In the country's confidence at best, and they believe that some difficult questions would be asked during the coming campaign of men who voted for the expulsion resolution as to the rea sons why Mr. Lllley was expelled, instead of a real Investigation of his charges being made.
