looks exactly like the latter, and that
Is one reason why he avoids visiting
Washington. especially when congress
is in session. At times, however, busi-
ness compels him to do SO, and on
such occasions he is continually being
addressed as Senator" He was in the
capital few days and was stepping
along Pennsylvania avenue, when a
stranger said: ANY progress about
that Office you were to get me, sem
ator?" Il never promised you any
Office" was the calm reply. WHAT

you, and don't care a continental
whether you like 1t or not" Then he

FOR SECRETARY OF STATE.

Davenport mes.-Recenty num-
Der of articles suggesting Senator w.
C. Hayward of Davenport as a candi-
date for secretary Of state have been
reproduced in The Times. These
articles have come from newspapers
scattered all over the state. The Des
Moines Register and Leader printed
the senator's portrait and a long
article In which reasons were given
why the Scott county man Is likely
to be candidate for that office, and
that article was followed by most
hearty endorsement of the suggestion
by the newspapers OF Hancock county,
Senator Hayward's former home Ed
N. Baily of the Britt Tribune devoted
of his paper telling why Hancock
county will undoubtedly give It's sup
port to the senator If he decides to be-
come a candidate, and the Garner Sig
nal, a newspaper once owned by Mr..
Hayward, comes out with the state
ment that he will receive the sup
port of the county without doubt. The
Sioux City Journal, Mr.. Perkins paper
says that Mr.. Hayward will be an
ideal harmony candidate. And all
this is from newspapers from outside
of the second district, where, Of course
on account of what he has done, not
only for Scott county but for the
Second district, he will receive uni
ted support If he definitely announces
his candidacy.
For time Mr.. Hayward did not
look with favor upon the suggestion
because he expected that Hon. Joe.
R. Lane of Davenport would become
candidate for governor. But since
1t has been definitely asserted by Mr..
Lane that he will not allow his name
to be used. the friends Of Mr.. Hay
ward have felt free to urge him to
become candidate.
That he is eminently well qualified
for the position for which he has been
suggested as candidate. is undisput-
ed. He is a man Of keen business
ability. He is also man Of expert
ence in state affairs He has served as
senator in the twenty-seventh, TWEEN
ty-eight, twenty ninth and thirtieth
general assemblies
He has been recognized as one of
the most able men in the senate, hav-
ing been appointed to the chairman-
ship Of the committee on ways and
2aaieea the first onaih1aaittse OF the
senate. Senator Hayward hass, al
ways been willing to do all that ne e
could for the republican party aIld
has never shirked any Of the arduous
work Of campaigns. He Is convinc-
ing speaker and has the happy facul-
ty of making friends wherever he
goes. He has always been public
spirited, as is shown by his long SER
vice as member of the Davenport
! ,hool board, of which he is the pres
fdent, position involving a great
deal of labor and no other reward
than the consciousness of public
service well done.
II Senator Hayward finally decides
re heenrra a candidate for secretary

pAVlpsoN,s CAREER.

The new governor of Wisconsin,
James o. Davidson, who on New
Years day succeeded Robert M. La
Toilette, is living refutation of the
much repeated plant, There is no
chance any more for a poor boy in
America" This is not what boys of
the present day should be told, first
because it is not true and, in addition,
because if they hear it SO often they
will give up any hope they might have
had for useful life.
Thirty years ago James o. Davidson
was penniless and a stranger in Mad
ison, the capital Of the state whose
chief executive he now is.
Mr.. Davidson was born In Gogn, Nor
way on February 10. 1854. He came
to America at the age of 10, worked
for time on farms and as tailor,
finally started a general store at
Soldiers Grove, Crawford county, and
has been in the mercantile business
since 1871 He was an assemblyman
for six years, state treasurer for four
and has been lieutenant governor for
three years.
Attention first was drawn to him,
when as assemblyman he succeeded
after many defeats in putting through
bills increasing the taxation of sleep.
ing car, express companies and other
corporations.
He is an able man as an executive
officer. He has demonstrated his abil.
ity-and his honesty. lie is what may
be called self-made man, typical OF
the American nation and the kind OF
men it develops.

where it shakes hands with different
people
The peculiar CLASSY stare of the autom-.
atom convinces the most skeptical
that it is not man, and the utter lack
of flexibility of the arms and legs
strengthens the conviction.
Trevallion has a beautiful sword
which was presented to him by King
Edward of England when he exhibited
the toy there. The idea of mechani-
cal man was brought to Trevallion by
the following circumstance: In Lon
don at Madam Tissaud's exhibition of
wax works. Trevallion was impressed
by the lifelike appearance of the figures.
He addressed several of the figures
under the impression that they were
men and women. The idea then struck
him of making a mechanical figure
which should walk and dance.
After a series of unsuccessful at
tempts, the perfect automaton was pro-
duced and has since been on exhibi-
ton all over the world. For several
hours today the figure will be on ex-
hibition in a window of shoe store
on Broadway.
