The convention was wise not only
in it's enunciation of party policies, but
in it's nomination of candidate for
president. The charges made against
him in the democratic platform find an
irrefutable answer in his splendid ad-
ministration. never surpassed in all the
history of the republic. never equalled
by the party which seeks his discredit
We have ample records of the deeds
he has done. of the beneficent things
he has accomplished in public interest.
We have peace and great prosperity at
home and we are upon terms of good
neighborhood with the entire world
These conditions constitute the strong
est possible assurance for the future"
Later Senator Fairbanks said that
he would avail himself of the oppor-
tunity of fuller expression of his views
concerning the questions now in issue
and he thanked the members of the
committee.

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 3.-In large
| tent set in the middle of the beautiful

uished company Of his fellow partisans
Senator Fairbanks this afternoon was
notified of MS nomination by the re-
publican party to the high office of vice

speech
Politics rules the Indiana capital to-
day. the democratic state convention
being in session and the streets being
filled with enthusiastic followers of
both parties. The 200 guests who par
ticipated in the Fairbanks notification
took luncheon, which was served in
tent.
Replying to Roots address. Senator
Fairbanks said that he accepted the
commission with a profound sense of
the dignity and responsibility of the
exalted position and he then plunged
into a review and discussion of the
party's policy, beginning with the gold
standard.
The monetary and economic policies
so forclbly reannOunced." he said, 'lie
at the very foundation of our indus
trial life. The republican party since it
preserved the integrity of the republic
never rendered more important service
to the country than when it establish
ed the gold Standard The enemies of
sound money were powerful enough to
suppress any mention of the gold
standard in the platform lately adopt
ed by the democratic national conven-
ton and the democratic leader in ~,
campaigns has declared that after the
campaign is finished he will undertake
the reorganization of the democratic
party for the purpose Of advancing the
radical principles for which his ele-
ment Of the party stands. Therefore,
1t is not the part of wisdom to aban-
don vigilance in safeguarding the in
tegrity of our monetary system.
The wisdom of the protective policy
finds complete justification in the in
dustrial development of the country.
When conoltlons make changes in the
tariff schedules desirable their modif-
cation can be safely entrusted to the
republican party.

Tacoma, Wash, April s.-After a

ma from Southern California. She
was accompanied by her 11-year-old
son, who was kidnapped from the home
of the mother while a suit for divorce
was pending in the local courts. The
father after securing possession of
the boy disappeared from the city.
The child was later heard of in va.
rious parts of Washington and in
British Columbia. The mother made
desperate efforts to find the father
and her child, but her efforts proved
unavailing until recently. Tiring of
the struggle, Mrs. Geha, who is a
dark-eyed Assyrian, employed the
services of local detective agency
and the chase after the boy began.
The detectives located the child in

place they found that the father and
child had disappeared again. The pair
were later located at Victoria. B. c..
where the father had placed the boy
in the care Of private school. While
the detectives were engaged in secur.
in evidence against Geha, the latter
grew suspicious and left with the boy
for the East.
Changing his name, Geha arrived
at small town in Connecticut called
Ansonia, where as was his custom,
he placed the child in school. The
fact that the child wrote to play.

tion of the pair for a third time. The
mother this time took up the chase
herself, but again was disappointed.
The father and the boy left for
Southern California where the detec-
tives succeeded in locating him again.
The mother this time succeeded by
using a clever disguise in discovering
her son in a private scool in Los
Angeles. With the aid of the United
States marshal and the courts, Mrs
Geha obtained possession Of her
child and returned forth. Geha, who
is dealer in fancy goods, made his
escape and is now presumed to be in
Mexico.

rhe pOwer Of a cartoon.

Mr. Davenport, whose cartoons are
as eagerly looked for as the news
items in the New York papers, prom
ises to become as we'll known as q
speaker as he is as cartoonist. Many
are the tales told of his boyhood days
in the little Western town of Silver
ton, Oregon. Instead OF attending to
business, the "hope of Silverton"
spent his time in caricaturing his en-
ployers, and consequently was always
in search Of employment. At last,
however. a local paper employed him,
and from a Jack of all trades" he
has risen meteorically to be the most
popular cartoonist in America.
Mr.. Davenport has developed an ex-
traordinary ability for story telling,
and his lecture, or rather succession
of stories, which he illustrates with
rapid cartoon drawings, keeps his au-
dience in continual bubble of mer-
riment. In illustrating the influence
that cartoon has upon the public,
he tells the story of the time that
public opinion was strong against
Admiral Dewey. Dayenport's car
toon--now famous-entitled Lest
We Forget" published at an oppor-
tune moment, completely restored
him to favor.
Many other tales each told as only
Homer Davenport can tell them,
makes up an entertainment that no
one can afford to miss,
Although his victims have been
many, they bear him no malice, and
are numbered amongst his most inti-
mate friends. When Senator Hanna
probably the greatest sufferer
was asked his opinion of Davenport,
he simply remarked: Hes genius. "
