the procession was one Of the best ever

TRIBUTE TO ROOSEVELT.
Theodore ROOSEVELT


He brings to the ticket just the
things that Mckinley cannot give ii.
He is lin every way, McKinley's
complement-in age, in temperament.
in .ecord, in influence. He will
supply the magnetism, and inspire
the ardor necessary to hurrah CAM
paign. He will light the torches and
wave the flags. But he will do much
more than that. He will attract a
large element of the independent vote,
which thinks for itself, which rebels
against boss rule, which recognizes
and admires brains, courage and
integrity. There is no man in the
country who has a larger following
among this class than Roosevelt, and
it is q class which is daily growing
stronger and more assertive in the
affairs of government. But Roose-
velt's strength will be even greater
among the young men, among the
full FLOODED Americans of action and
progress, who believe in fighting
when fighting is necessary, and who.
however proudly they may look back
on their country's past, look forward
to it's future even more proudly.
Youthful, we'll balanced, gentle
man, a cowpuncher; man of letters,
a man of action; clear headed poll
tician, dashing soldier, he has the
respect of those to whom ability. both
mental and physical, appeals, and he
has the admiration of those whom
accomplishment, whether in the field
of politics, arms or literature, impress
es He is today the most hopeful
figure in the Republican party. He
has the confidence of the anti-machine
men, and yet he bosses the bosses.
Better than all. he has shown through
out his public work that he has a
"eep insight into the vital elements of
democracy, that he has firm grasp on
the principles which must guide an
enduring republic, that he is through
and through sound, self-reliant
and vigorous American.
His nomination, undoubtedly against
his wishes and against his systematic
and strenuous campaign to beat him
self, was an unprecedented event in the
history of political conventions. 1t
was the spontaneous demand of the
rank and file of the party, that was
not to be denied or evaded by cold
arguments of discretion and expedi-

into the campaign with an impetus

tum to the ticket.

THE REAL ISSUE.

The fierce struggle in the national
Democratic convention was, save for
the dishonesty of purpose clearly
manifested, utterly childish. The
whole convention was willing to en-
dorse the Chicago platform, which
contained an explicit declaration in
favor of the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to /. The quarrel was
entirely as to whether this declaration
should be repeated in full in the Kan
sas City platform. Bryan and his
more enthusiastic following, with
Less cunning but more honesty than
their fellow delegates, insisted that it
should be so repeated because they
declared that to be the main issue be-
fore the country. Leading Silverltes,
who for reasons of their own have a
poor opinion of the people they live
among and especially of the Gold
Democrats, thought that if the "16 to
/" was not expressly mentioned the
voters would not see that it was
there.
There cannot be any doubt but
that Mckinley will carry California
Connecticut. Illinois, Iowa, Maine,
Massachusetts,, Michigan, Minnesota
New Jersey, New Hampshire, North
Dakota, Ohio Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont,
Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin,
and New York. These have 242
electoral votes, or is more than a
majority
The states which are sure for Bryan
are Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska,
North Carolina South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Texas and Virginia, with 144
electoral votes. In addition to these
it is probable that Bryan may carry
Idaho, kentucky, Maryland, Nevada,
Utah and Wyoming with 50 votes
making possible total of III, or one
more than he had in 1896
It is possible that Mckinley will
carry Delaware, Indiana and Kansas
with IS votes, bringing his total up
to 270 votes, or one less than he had
in 1926 In any event Bryan starts
with an almost hopeless minority
