other university athletics Cochems was equally prominent.
 While in the Harvard law school Cochems, according to the strength test, was the strongest man in the
 world. His test ran up to 1,766 points. Since his college days he has been closely identified in political life with the junior senator from Wisconsin, Robert M. La Toilette. In 1898. at the age of 23, he nominated MT. La Toilette for governor at the Republi. ican state convention. In 1900 he
 again was a delegate to the conven. ton which first nominated La Toilette for governor.
 In 1904, at the suggestion of Gov. La Toilette, he was made secretary of the Republican state central com. mittee. In the present canvass he is receiving the active support of the junior senator.
 Cochems is the first man who ever completed the three-year law course at Harvard in two years. He is . splendid speaker, pleasing of address and forceful of argument. He is aided in his unique campaign by his two
 brothers-Karl, an opera singer, and Ed, a lawyer. The program of speeches, songs and strong man stunts the three brothers can put up is hard to beat.
 Mir Cochems, if sent to congress. would advocate a reform in the rules of the house. The committee on rules. he maintains, holds autocratic power and a member is helpless unless the committee gives him permission tc speak. He would have the committee named by the house instead of by the speaker, thus making the committed look to the house for its instructions.

ROVER OF THE NORTH PACIFIC

The recent raid on the seal rookeries on St. Paul island off Alaska in which four Japanese were killed, several wounded and others taken prisoner by men from the American revenue cut ter Mccullough. is said to have been planned by Capt Alexander Mclean. Mclean is the nearest approach to modern Capt. Kidd. His adven. lures stamp him the most remarkable sea ranger of to-day and his deeds are celebrated in song and story on the Pacific coast and in the works of noted writers.
 Capt McLean's personality was first made known beyond the Aleutians and Behring sea in May. 1904, when his schooner, the Carmencita was fitting out for nefarious sealing expedition in the harbor of San Francisco. Nothing could be proven against him and he sailed away to Half Moon bay and picked up sealing outfit, 1t is said
