Shortly after the st. Louis conven-

assurances that she would be called
upon. -

Mr.. Bryan" she said the other day,
'but, like q politician, must abide by
the majority Of the party, and will give
Mr.. Parker my hearty support. I would
not mention my preference for Mr..
Bryan; but you know spoke for him
in the campaigns of 1896 and 1900, and
l suppose I have become little partial
to him."
Miss Ingles spoke from the same plat
form as Mr.. Bryan in 1896, when that
leader was in Lexington, and faced the
largest audience that ever greeted pub

was highly complimented by Mr.. Bryan,

Rt. Rev. DR.. Randall Thomas Da-

now on q visit to the United States, the
drst official visit ever made overseas
by an archbishop Of Canterbury during
his term Of ONCE =.
/ Mr.. Davidson is the ninety-1lfth arch
bishop of Canterbury, dating from the
foundation of the see, in A. D. 697. He
was born in Edinburgh on April Z, 1S4S.
His parents were pure Scotch, and on
his mothers side DR.. Davidson descend
ed from King Robert III. of Scotland.
His father was professional man In
moderate circumstances, and the son
was sent to Harrow. From Harrow he
went to Trinity college, Oxford, where
he was graduated in 1871. He was or
dained in 1874 and for three years was
curate Of . small church at Dartford,
in Kent. Shortly after leaving college
DR.. Davidson was accidentally shot while
hunting, an accident that threatened to
wreck his whole career, but which
proved, however, to be happy acci-
dent. The young mans misfortune
aroused tho sympathy Of Archbishop
TAFT. of Canterbury, and he was in
vited to become the archbishop's chap
lain and private secretary. In 1878 the
young chaplain married Miss Edith TAFT
the primate's daughter. Archbishop
TAFT died in 1882, when DR.. Davidson re-
ceived from Queen Victoria the appoint
ment Of dean of Windsor. He was a
great favorite with Queen Victoria,
and when Archbishop Benson died she
expressed the wish that DR.. Davidson
should become his successor. DR..
Davidson, however. requested permis.
sion to decline the honor, and DR.. Tenn
ple was nominated to the see Of Can
terbury. In 1889 DR.. Davidson was ap.
pointed to the see of Rochester, and in
1895, his health being poor, he accept
ed the see of Winchester, where hisresi-

q The hardships from the German meat

severe by the regulations ordained by
the derman federal diet in regard to the
entry Of foreign meat and bacon. As
these regulations and the excessive fees

chancellor and the federal diet to
ameliorate the regulations by reducing

examination of meat-stufts. The petit

She was made enrolling clerk of the
Kentucky, senate in recognition OF her
work in the 1896 campaign:
!. Afterward she gave valuable assist
ance to Senator Blackburn in his cam
spaign for reelection. The contest was
one of the hardest seen IN Kentucky in
many years, owing to the predominant
ing influence of republicans in the state
government at that time. Miss Ingles
was associated with, Senator William
Goebel in behalf Of Mr.. Blackburn, and
eventually they won. She was partic-
ularly skillful in learning the plans of
the opposition, and kept the Blackburn
forces informed in advance Of every
move.
Personally Miss 1ngles is handsome
She is distinct brunette, tall and slen-
der, and in speech is both pleasing and
convincing. She has a happy faculty
of bringing her arguments to such a
climax that her meaning cannot be
misunderstood She is clever in repar-
tee, too, and has never yet been put to
confusion by the questions propounded
by skeptical hearers.
In this connection It may be stated
that the national committees Of both
parties have no other item Of expendt-
ture comparable with the sum paid for
campaign speeches. It is expected that,
when the campaign is fully under way,
no fewer than 5000 political orators will
be placed upon the stump by each Of the
national committees. As at least five
times as many :"spellbinders" will be
mustered by the state committees, the
aggregate number of exhorters will not
fall much short Of 60,000. Some Of the
