FOR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.
Henry Lawrence,
John j. DAILY,
Robert c. Lund.
FOR CONGRESSMAN.
Lafayette Holbrook, of Provo.

The Independent State Republican
convention at the theatre yesterday was
earnest, if not altogether harmonious.
From the outset there was a manifest
disposition to ignore the Mckinley COM
binations at Mt. Pleasant and Ogden,
and not until the close was any par
ticular thought given to conciliating the
regular organization. Several efforts
in the interest of harmony on the nom
nation of a candidate for Congress
were made notably by George NJ. Can
non and w. G. Van Horne, but it was
called as an Independent convention,
and that is what it was.
Outside of the earnest desire to CO.
operate with the Democrats in select
ing Bryan electors, no great interest
was taken in the proceedings. To har-
monte with the Provo convention in
the national fight was looked upon as
the matter of most Importance, and when
that was accomplished the nomination
for congressman went to Lafayette Hol-
brook without struggle.
just before the convention adjourned
committee was named to attend the
Ogden convention in the interest of
harmony, but this was apparently an
afterthought

Something About Filters.

Every year there are numbers OF. FL

ting forth some special claim to excel
lence. AS q matter Of fact, half
dozen thicknesses Of fine soft cloth are
exactly as good as any filters in the
market. The cloth will not remove
disease germs from the water, neither
will any of the ordinary filters. The
cloth will take out organic matter and
objects large enough to be seen. Dis
ease germs that must be magnified a
thousand times in order to be visible,
will go through any of the substances
used for filters, with as much ease as
mice will get through a stone pile
There is more fallacy to the square
inch in filter theories than In almost
anything else with which the general
public has to do, 1t Is great mistake
to suppose that the ordinary filter Is q

is not that, but 1t soon becomes most

house for microbes, and infinitely more
dangerous than unfltered water, II is
a popular error that organic matter,
especially that which produces green
scum, is so injurious. An uncontami-

ket is much more likely to be health
full than spring running perfectly
clear with its headwaters near some
old dwelling, and possibly receiving the

TemvorIng Steel.

Many an amateur blacksmith, and,
indeed, not few professionals, are un-
able to temper steel properly espac-
tally for such implements as mlll-picks
and rocl1-drllls. To do this IL easy
enough provided one knows how.
The most important point Is not to
overhead. ar cast steel is made white
hot, It is spoiled; yet II pecnon takes
a chisel, mill-plck or other pointed
tool TO be repaired, the smith pushes 1t
into the FIRE. The point Is whlte-hot
They Will now push 1t In and out OF
the fire few times, and at last bring
1t out rcd-hot and work 1t. OF course,
it Is already spoiled, and no matter how
low It is tempered, 1t is next to USE
less. Take one to the smith, and see
that he puts the body Of the tool in the
fire, leaving the two thin ends uncov-
cred till the middle is red-hot. AS
soon as the middle is red-hot, pull
back, and let the thin end just get
dull-red heat. 1t must now be ham
mered edgeways first, and railways last
Of ALL 1t is best to hammer It on the
fiat part OF the anvil, as drawing steel
on the edge Of the anvil, although
great deal quicker, makes 1t short In
the grain and always causes the tool
to break In the thlnnest place. Serve
the other ends the same, only repeat as
soon as 1t loses its dull-red color. The
lighter the blows in working steel the
tougher 1t is. The point should be
quite as thin as a filters chipping
chisel, only little longer then 1t will
not require doing up so often. When
the ends are drawn out the middle will
have lost its red heat. The ends can
now be filed little. Now to temper
them. Heat them in the fame of the
fire, using great care. When very
dull red heat, cool in rain water with
the chill taken off, about three-quarters
OF an inch from the end, and let down
to blue; II 1t should be too brittle a
little lower. Serve the other end the
same. Cool all over. Grind the edge
rather blunt, and for the first few
blows hit as light as possible. The
secret is in working 1t as at low heat
as possible, only keep on repeating
very often, and to hit 1t edgeways as
little as possible, but fatways as much
as you like.

the bargain and corruption" charges
Clay made another attempt for the
presidency in 1882 as the candidate Of
the national republicans" He was
disastrously defeated in this election,
receiving only forty-nine electoral
votes.
Clay seemed sure of the presidency.
when on May 1, 1874, the Wing nations
al convention nominated him by &C.
clamation. James X. Polk was the
nominee for the democrats and the first
presidential dark horse. In the Wing
national convention of 1889, which
nominated Harrison and Tyler, Clay
would certainly have been the choice
if the unit rule had not been adopted.
The annexation of Texas was the
main question in the presidential can
vass Of 1874. Clay had already do
clared himself against annexation in
the famous Raleigh letter" Of April
II, 1874. There was plank in the
democratic platform recommending the
annexation Of Texas. In this condition
of affairs Clay, yielding to the en-
treaties of southern wings, who feared
this his declaration against the annex
alton Of Texas might injure his pros
poets in the south, wrote another letter
in which he said that, far from hay
ing any personal objection to the an
nexation of Texas, he would be glad
to see it without dishonor, without war,
with the common consent Of the union
and upon fair terms"
This declaration Of Clay's turned
against him many anti-slavery men in
the north and is believed to have cost
him the vote of the state of New York
and with it the election. Had Clay
kept the anti-slavery element on his
side, as it was at the beginning Of the
canvass, he would surely have been
president.
Clay was defeated for the presiden-
tial nomination in the Whig national
convention Of 1S4S by General Zachary
Taylor. 1t has often been said that only
the latter's military glory gave him the
nomination over Clay.
Daniel Webster, Incompatible as ora
tor and defender of the constitution,

to become president, and that he put
aside, for the very good reason that IL

clared elected vfce-president. The fed
elalists stHove long and fervently with
Burr, but could not obtain from him
the pledges they desired. Jefferson
was, therefore, elected on the thirty
sixth ballot, and Burr was declared
elected vice-president, having received
the next highest number of votes.
In the campaign Of 1872 De Witt
Clinton was regarded ans promising
republican candidate for the presi-
dency. He had held many prominent
places in the government and filled
them all with credit to himself and to
the advantage of his country. During
his term in the United States senate he
distinguished himself by powerful
speech opposing the war with Spain
He resigned from the senate in 1902 to
take the office of mayor Of New York
city, to which he had been appointed
by his uncle, then governor of the state
for the second time. He continued
mayor until 1915.
Aaron Burr's disgrace had removed
one of his most prominent rivals, but
Clinton soon began to be looked upon
with distrust by his party, on account
of his want of sympathy with some of
Presidents Jefferson's acts and with
Madison's course previous to the war
of 1912. He was suspected of leaning
toward the federalists, and was Bit
terly assailed by his enemies, toward
whom his own course had never been
mild.
The republican caucus at Washing
ton in 1912 renominated Madison, but
Clinton, retaining his hold on the par
ty in his own state and relying on the
support of the federalists, secured a
nomination from the republican mem
bers of the New York legislature. Clin-
ton made a stout fight and up to very
last seemed to have a chance of win
ming, because there was considerable
dissatisfaction over the manner of
Madison's nomination. With Pennsyl-
vania on his side Clinton would have
won, and his supporters 1Aere also sure

quilts in addition. Alpine hats for out
Ing wear are also seen, and some close
shapes resembling the old fashioned
English walking hat. Parasols are, on
the whole, less trimmed than in former
years. Although many are lavishly
adorned with lace, rufIles, puffings and
flowers, the majority are without trim
mlngs and are of changeable, lowered
checkered or striped silk.
There has been return to hats and
bonnets Of drawn tulle and mousseline
de sole. These are very delicate and
light and are pretty accompaniment
to dainty summer gowns. Roses are
seen in great abundance, and dahlies
and hydrangeas are also in evidence.

Vegetable Rennets.

Those who would like to make cheese

to get proper rennet to produce coagu-

critics of curdling milk, and the natives
of Cheshire prefer 1t as rennet to al
other sorts. The leaves and flowers
are put in the strainer, and the milk
is slowly poured over them. The flow
er-heads Of the garden artichoke also
possess the property Of coagulatlng
milk. In view of the carelessness
sometimes noted in people who prepare
rennet in the ordinary fashion, this
vegetable ronnet is worthy of attention.
The leaves properly cleaned and pre-
pared would be very much safer and
more hygienic than animal substances
which may go through chemical
changes that unfit them for food

expected. Thus did another statesman
of the early days Of the republic miss
by chance the great honor for which
so many were striving.
Henry Clay would probably have
been president but for the grip upon
his reputation of the famous bargain
and corruption" charge which, con-
stantly repeated, pursued him through
the best part of his public life.
The charge had its origin in the cam
palgn Of 1924, when Clay was a candi-
date for the Presidency, having for
competitors such men as John Quincy
Adams, Andrew Jackson and William
H. Crawford. No one of these candi-
dates received a majority of the cleo
toral vote, so the election devolved
upon the House of Representatives
Clay, standing fourth in the number Of
electoral votes received, was practically
out Of the race, and he used his influ-
ence in the House for John Quincy
Adams, who was elected.
The friends Of Jackson and Crawford
alleged the existence of a corrupt UNI
derstanding between Adams and Clay,
and this accusation was believed at
Ne time because Adams promptly Of
fered Clay the portfolio Of Secretary Of
State and Clay as promptly accepted it..
The bargain and corruption" charge,
however was disproVed by the we'll es-
tabIished fact that Clay, Immediately
after the result Of the presidential elec-
ton in 1924 became known had de-
clared his determination to use his in
huence in the house for Adams and
against Jackson. The odium Of the
charge stuck to both Adams and Clay,
however, as was shown in the next
presidential contest, in which Jackson
beat Adams. 1t was conceded that
Adams might have beaten Jackson In
that election but for the cllnging Of

have prepared attractions for 1t, but

the lowly and obscure.
The men who missed the presidency
were in most instances the men who
seemed at the time most worthy OF the
honor. Clay and Blaine were again
and again within an ace Of gaining the
coveted prize. Daniel Webster, the
modern Demosthenes, died Of broken
heart because the ambition OF his life
was denied him, and yet he might
have realized that ambition had his
spirit been humber and been willing
to accept the crown in the way the gods
presented 1t. John G. Calhoun missed
the presidency on three occasions.
1t is an interesting study, this re-
view Of the causes which baked some
Of the country's heroes just as they
were reaching out their hands to take
more than "kingly crown" The
contemplation Of these facts OF our
history may bring comfort at this
time, when disappointment is in the
air for more than one aspirant, who
would perhaps be ashamed to confess
to the canker gnawing at his heart.
Aaron Burr just missed the headship
of the nation. He was man Of remark
ably brilliant mental attainments, and
into the presidential contest Of 1900
he entered, with his accustomed energy
and determination. The republicans
triumphed, but between the two high
lest candidates, Jefferson and Burr,
there was a tie, each receiving seventy
three votes, which threw the election
into the house Of representatives,
In connection with this affair, Burr
was charged with intriguing to defeat
the public will and have himself chosen
Ito the first office instead of Jefferson.
The federalists resolved to defeat JEFF
ferson at any cost, and so fixed upon
Burr as their sole reliance in this great
Emergency.
The balloting went on for seven
days. Thirty-hve ballots were taken
without result. In the balloting in
the house each state delegation cast
but one vote. The candidate receiving
the highest number of votes would be-
come president, while he who received
