Hot Contest With Bryan.

one between Mr.. Burkett and Mr..
Bryan for control of the legislature.
Which one would be senator was de
pendent upon the political complexion
of that body. The campaign, extend
ing over a period of about five months,
was exceedingly yirile, and there was
plenty of uncertainty to make 1t inter
esting, and at times almost bitter.
Mr.. Burkett, like his distinguished
opponent, is of even temperament,
slow to anger and pl%enteous in that
brand of good nature that never wears
off; and so whatever may have dis
turbed others, it can be said that moth
ing harsh or bitter ever passed be
tween them personally.
R~oosevelt's great popularity made
the state surely Republican, so far as
the electoral ticket was concerned, but
Mr.. Bryan's popularity and his force
as a campaigner made the outcome as
to the complexion of the legislature
one of doubt and uncertainty. Then.
too. there were local conditions that
were not advantageous to the Republi-
cans.
These were the conditions confront
ing Mr.. Burkett when the campaign
of 1904 opened. Mr.. Bryan, brilliant.
shrewd and resourceful as he Is, took
advantage of every mistake of the Re
publicans, and he went into the cam
paign determined to elect a Demo
cratic legislature. He strove nightly;
he held meetings in almost every dis
trict: he completely covered the state
with a special train. and made from
five to eight rear-platform speeches a
day, arousing as he always does, great
enthusiasm. But MI. Burkett was also
over the state. He made as many
speeches as did his opponent, and he is
a convincer, and he visited every por-
| ton of the Commonwealth.
Genius for Organization.
Probably one Of Burketts chief at
| tributes In his genius for organization.
AS n result of the marshaling of his
forces, a legislature was elected with
every one of the ,thirty-three members
in the Senate a Republican and only
nine Fusionists out of one hundred
members Of the House. The legis-
lature met and in just six minutes

which will stand in the public square
of the quaint old village in which
Sheridan lived as a boy. 1t was al
ways believed prior to his death, that
Sheridan was born in the village. He
and his family allowed the impression
to remain Is there was some hope
that he might be nominated for Presi-
dent. Sheridan himself was always
proud to call himself an Ohio man.
When he died his relatives admitted
that he was not even born in this
country, but on a ship when Is par
ents were en- route from Ireland.
They settled first at Albany, N. y,
and there his birth was recorded
However it was in Somerset that he
grew up, a quick alert little Irish lad
whose greatest delight in youth was
to await the coming of the stage that
he might ride the horses to water.
His old mother used to tell in her de-
Ginning years of Phillies great love for
horses and how hard his father used
to whip him for riding every horse he
could find to mount.
Early Cavalry Training.
That early love of horses stood Phil
In good stead when he entered the
cavalry arm of the service and fitted
him for the famous 'Sheridan's Ride"
to the battle of Winchester. Sheridan
began as a clerk in the village store
and was sent to West Point by a con-
gresham who hoped to catch the
Irish Catholic vote. Alas, the con-
gresham was beaten, but he gave the
nation a great soldier and in later
years when the man was in trouble,
Sheridan came to his relief in a CRATE
full manner. The mother of Sheridan
| almost outlived him and died at the
age of 80 retaining her faculties to the
last. He visited her often and she

THE YOUNGEST SENATOR.
Burkett, of Nebraska, Who Defeated
VIM. j. Bryan Tor the Toga.

From the farm furrow to the Sen
ate is the somewhat remarkable
record of the youngest member of that
body, Elmer J Burkett, of Nebraska.
To be elected a Senator is considered
a distinction worthy the ambition of
any American youth; to be the baby"
member of the greatest of legislative
bodies is a higher distinction, and es-
pecially as in the case of Mr. Burkett,
where the ace was a hot one, and his
opponent an able and renowned an
tagonist, no other man than William
j. Bryan.
Out in Nebraska, says Edgar G.
Snyder, of the Omaha Bee, who is ia
miliar with state politics, there has
been in the past a number of long
drawn out senatorial deadlocks. The
people were not only dissatisfied with
conditions, but they were determined
to stop it. They concluded to direct
the action of the legislature.
Nomination by the People.
The newspapers took up the matter
of a popular nomination very ener-
g%etically, and the plan vas suggested
of having a state convention nominate
a candidate for United States Senator,
and instruct their legislative nominees
to vote for him when the legislature
met. OF course, there was opposition
to the plan in certain quarters, for it
materially interfered with the desires
of the ''bosses'' who had controlled
Nebraska politics for many years, and
Burkett was not exactly to their liking.
The opposition, however, did not de-
velop any great amount of strength,
and Mr.. Burkett was unanimously de-
clared the choice of the Republicans of
the state for Senator, to succeed Sena-

Swinging gently in ones hammock
beneath wide spreading fig trees load
ed with luscious fruit, and breathing
into the nostrils the fragrance of a
field of Peruvian clover mingling with
the almost tropical bloom about me, it
is indeed hard to believe hat this very
spot, only a few years ago, boosted
naught save the horned toad, the
ella monster and the ra~ttlesnake. a
suspicion of a scent of desert sage
waited on a summer mornings zephyr
awakes in one a realization that, just
beyond this fair oasis, gaunt desola-
ton, weird and mysterious, stalks
wide under relentless skies of BRASS.
All these thoughts and others are
yours when you drop into Phoenix
or Mesa, or any of the little GASES in
the Salt River Valley, after the long
hot ride across the burning sands
which intervene between it and Ell
Paso, Texas. You are glad to feast
your eyes on the green verdure which
seems to spring suddenly from out
the sere desert.
An Almost Tropical Climate.
Phoenix. beautiful in a garb of
tropical luxuriance. with wide ayen-
ues shaded by magnificent palms or
shapely umbrella trees, with pleasant
homes almost hidden by vines and
flowers, bids you welcome.
Many of her pioneers and her best
citizens came here to fight a last bat
tie with that dreaded scourge, the
White Plague-tuberculosis- and the
welcome they received from the deS-
ert brought the bloom of health to
their checks and new hope TO their
hearts, and is reflected in the welcome
which greets the stranger at their
gates to-day.
Ours is usually termed a new coun-

as long ago as the eighth or ninth CEN
