the knowledge, that 80 many forms OF

BOLT TALK.
Boss Platt Said to Be
Dissatisfied.
Talk of His Withdrawing
From Convention.
Manager Hanna Hears of it and
Remains Composed.

ST. LOUIS, June 12.-Today there were
in circulation, reports that Thomas c. Z
Platt has declared his intention of bolt
ing or walking out OF the convention IL
the six contestants from New York
should be seated. 1t is learned from
members OF the national committee, that
in all probability, the six Platt men will
be thrown out.and the other men placed
on the temporary roll. The report Of
what Platt had said was reported to Mr..
Hanna today and he declined to discuss
the matter In any way. II shall not get
excited over this even IL Mr.. Platt said
Ii, Mr.. Hanna remarked, and when as
sured that Platt mad made the remark he
remained undisturbed. The report that
Platt intends to bolt has been freely cir
culated by mis- friends. One of them stat
ed emphatically that the position of Mr..
Platt was that in case the regularly
elected delegates In New York should be
unseated, there were sixty more delegates
who would walk out of the convention
This view is controverted by some Of the
delegates from New York, now on the
ground who say that there are from Is
to 30 delegates from New York, who are
ardent Mckinley men and cannot be ex-
pected to follow Platt in any such move.
Members of the national committee
think the talk of the New York foIt is
wholly for the purpose OF the influence it
may have on contests yet to be decided.

national committee to recommend 10 the

Resolved, That the national conmittso

The next speaker was the class orator
Gardner Kirk Hudson, who delivered IN
an eloquent manner the class Grafton en-
titled "Modern Democracy and What IL
Means" In brief the speaker said:
'Modern Democracy and Its Meaning"
GARDNER KIRK HUDSON.
Government, or the desire for IL, IN
heres in the npture OF man. There Is
more than one type OF democracy. An
cient democracy recognized only the
rights OF the citizen instead OF the rights
OF man. Representation was undeveloped.
Modern democracy embod1es the ideas OF
representation, suffrage, checks and bal
ances, separation OF powers and OF church
and state and its written constitution
which surely is more true to the
democratic ideal than was ancisnt
democracy. After the fall of Greece
and Rome the mind Of man went

the Reformation. Here was the first break

first traces in the works of Calvin aud
Zwingli in Switzerland. Calvin believed
that church ana state each had its func-

athletic skill are continually called In
play. Men are like some trees; place
them alone and they never attain to their
possible proportions, but surrounded by
their fellows, they flourish amidst the
wholesome rivalry.
The influences OF college friendships
Is marked. The man who has had no
close friends is to be pitied, for he has
missed one OF the greatest factors OF col
lege life. One needs TO he told OF his
faults continually, and perhaps enoour :
aged and no one can do this so well as
an intimate fellow student.
The possession or an interest common
to many others Is valuable. With che
typical student, that interest is in his
college. He feels responsibility for her
honor and dignity and takes pride in his
every attainment. All these interests
tend TO develop broader man. The
model student IS he who most success
fully mbines all departments of college
life into one harmonious whole.
Next came the address to undergradu-
ates-by-Jehn 5. Murduck. II was fully
up 20 the standard OF such addresses,
causing much merriment In the audience.
The speaker had his own droll individual
manner OF speech, which added greatly
to the effect of the comedy feature of the
day. He said in part:
"Address to Undergraduates"
JOHN 6. MURDOCH.
Custom has established this day In
order that the departing class may per-
form the last sad rites over itself. Let
none suppose that / would violate the
canons of good taste by indulging in
trifing remarks. The occasion is rather
one of serious import. The instruction
of the youthful mind demands of him
who undertakes it the most earnest and
careful preparation.

party is now in the ascendant in the
department of rhetoric and oratory,

that a college course is not an end in

a large view OF life, knowledge as per-
