SOME of the democrats are beginn-
ing to be eXcerised over the suspicion
that the populists in 1904 will support
Roosevelt instead Of the democratic
candidate. They are pointing to the
circumstance that a familiar figure at
the White House these days is Marion
Butler of North Carolina. a former
senator from that state, and for long
time at the head of the populist nat
ional committee, position which he
still holds. 1t is said that Butler is
an ardent admirer of Roosevelt. He
has been talking so strongly in favor
of the president that some of his old
allies of the demOratic party say he
will support Roosevelt this year.
There is a possibility that Butler will
be in the republican line in 1904.
Lots of old-time populists will vote
republican ticket this year. SO will
lots of old-time democrats. The re.
publican standard bearer of 1904 will
draw heavily on the other parties for
support. Throughout the west there
is general disintegration of party
forces when Roosevelt is in the ISSUE
All political shades Of voters are in
favor of him. He will carry the west
by majority which will look very i'm.
posing in figures. He will also carry
every state in the East which has been
casting Republican ballots in the ell.
ectoral college in recent presidential
years. The democrats regret the loss
of there populist allies of 1896 and
1900, but the drift among the Populist
is away from the democrats now
Many men who supported and shouted
for Bryan in the two latest presi-
Dental canvaSSes will be in the Roose
velt line in 1904. These are days
when party ties in the West, among
all the people except the republicans
sit very lightly. In every state nortl
of the Ohio the Republican vote il
1904 will touch very high figures. Thi:

DAY DREAMS.
(Gratia 3. Camp, 'O7.)

AS you sit in hammock and swing
to and fro,
And list to the winds lullaby,
You Think of the days that are COM
ing to you,
And also of those gone by.
Your future is a picture by fancy
painted,
Your past is picture by memory
loaned,
Your future is sweet and gorgeous,
And your past by memory loaned.
It's sweet as you sit in the twilight,
In your future, you are great.
you're fame at your call,
You'll be happy, and do good,
There'll be no days you could wish
to recall.
The sky above you is sweeter, some
= how
And the sun gives gentler CLEAN,
As YOU soft drift and glide.
To the welcome land of your dream.
''Think not of the tomorrow"
Isa prOverb old and wise,
But strive against it tho you will,
The pictures before you rise.
You are poet, nurse,
Whose gentle bands, pain allay,
And to you it seems hard, that
You must WAIT the coming OF the
day.
When suffering humans bless your
hand,
AS they drift away to the unknown
land,
But still, the painter gives you a
wider scope,
And in it is pictured the light of
hope.
To someone in doubt, or fear, or PAIN
Or someone whose LIE mas peeh III
vain,
You will bring comfort, or so 1t seems,
AS you slowly come back from the
land of day dreams.
.Iife is real, life is earnest,
SO do good be our aim.
Helping ourselves in helping others,
And we will not be in vain.
Ali Dreams! For me you're painted,
A scene most sweet and animated,
In the future, | look not,
Trusting him who holds our lot'
But still dreamland your dear,
And happiness seems so near,
AS we think of the guiding manu-
nigh us, ,, :,
AS the days and dreams go softly by
US.

THE REPORT of the committee on in
ternational and industrial peace which
was read at the Methodist General Con-
ference in Los Angles, CAL, yesterday,
was a remarkable paper to be presented
10 a religious body, especially when
ministers of the Gospel tell us the king
dom they portray is not of this world.
The paper set' forth that the grasping
monopolists and walking delegates are
the forces which bring about the tur-
MOL in the commercial world, and 'In
the main sympathy is generally and
rightfully with the tOiler." That each
and every man has the right to sympa-
thize with either of the warning elements
ferred to is unquestiOned, but when repre-
sentative religious bodies, supposed to
meet for the furtherance of the aims to
spread the Gospel become the champ
ions of either of the warning factions Of
this day and generation, they NEEDLE
with issues which do not come under
their supervision. 1t is said that one
of the matters to be considered before
the adjournment of the conference will
be the Russo japanese war and that
sympathy will be extended one or the
other of the belligerants.

THE WAR between the republican fac
ii ms of Wisconsin eliminated yesterday,
when two State tickets were nominated
and two sets of delegates to the Chicago
convention we're elected. The party in
that State is now split from end to end.
The factions have served notice on each
other that it is to be fight to the finish.
Neither side will recede from the posi-
ton it has taken, regardless OF the fact
that the national ticket may be affected
by the warfare. The supporters of
Governor La Toilette, the "reform
forces" renominated the governor and
national delegates-at-large. The anti.
third-termers, opposed TO La Toilette,
nominated Samuel A. Cook for governor
and passed resolutions disappearing of
third term nominations, and urging the
reelection of Senators Quarles and
Spooner. This is pretty fight for the
democrats to stand off and view with as
much interest as did the woman who
watched the fight between her husband
and bear.
