Perfectly, Charley, dear. After hear
ing what you say, and reading all the
papers I could fed, it is as clear as

vice president and Mr.. Plat wanted
him to. Mr.. Hanna wanted him to be
vice president until he said no, and
then he said he shouldn't have it. Add
it was a great victory for Mr.. Hanna
because he wanted Mr.. Roosevelt In the
first place, and it's a great victory for
Mr.. Plat because Mr.. Roosevelt was
forced to take it after he had said
no. and it was great victory for Mr..
Roosevelt because without saying so
he wanted 1t all the time. But to tell

THE YOUNG VOTER

Chicago Journal: There never was
much IN the Democratic party TO at
tract the young voter. Ii he voted that
ticket it was mainly because of his
confidence in his fathers Judgment
such OF uswho are not very ancient and
who perhaps voted the Democratic
ticket dozen years ago, might be
somewhat puzzled to assign a first
class reason for having done. so.
The Democratic party is today even
less attractive to the young voter. He
Is not afraid of militarism. or of i'm
perialism, or of anything else that the
Republican party is represented as
standing for. In fact he isn't afraid
OF anything. He has great admira-
ton for the American flag, and would
like to see it waving in the four cor
ners of the globe. The young voter is
not reasoning animal. He can not
help that; he is created So Get a
physologist to explain it to you scien-
tifically. Up to his 30th year the
young man is more or less of wild
ass of the desert more.
When he passes his Goth year he be-
gins to Enthusiastically not enough TO
hurt him. But If he thinks before that
period he Is in grave danger of devel-
oping into a genius; in which case he
is pretty certain to take no interest in
politics.
If Mr. Bryan be relying upon the
young men OF the country TO rebuke
the Republican policy, he might as we'll
get to work on chapter one~of his Sec

There is no doubt that the private

region of the middle west shows some
interesting facts. The percentage or

Nebraska, the gains being nearly

which should not be lost in the exam

THE REAL PARAMOUNT ISSUES

The New York Evening Post has
never liked President Mckinley. Apart
from the financial policy of the admin
istration ii has bitterly criticised ev-
cry measure he has advocated. All
this, however, does not prevent 1t from
recognizing that Organism" is the
paramount issue of the campaign. 1t
defines Organism" as 16 to and dis
honest money, assault upon the judi
cial system Of the general govern
ment, license to rioters and anar-
chists In cases when the United States
ought to intervene, as at Chicago in
1884," and "the domination at Wash
ington of a reckless executive, wi hout
any restraint upon his impetuosity
from his motley supporters, who have
driven prudence and conservatism
from their ranks" The Post has not
yet announced which candidate IL will
support, but it has frankly stated it
will not support Bryan and Stevsnso
under any circumstances. 1t will fight
the paramount issue of Organism" to
the end.

A LEVEL HEADED DEMOCRAT.

Ansley Wilcox of Buffalo, NJ. Y, a
leading lawyer, and one OF the most
prominent Democrats Of Erie county,
has declared for Mckinley. He says:
ION the question Of expansion and
imperialism | agree with the Demo
cratic platform in its criticism OF what
has been done in the past to get US
into our present troubles, but we are
there now and canot get out by passing
resolutions denouncing things
There is no reason to think the

to bring US out of these dangers speed
