when It appeared that Platt and Quay
and their followers might give Mark
Hanna the coup detat by nominating
the hero of San Juan hilp for the head
of the ticket, instead Of renomnating
Mckinley.
But fate decreed otherwise; McI<in-
ley was made standard bearer, and
well. the man who had strenuously In
sisted that he did not want, and would
not take, the vice presidential nomina-
tion-grabbed IL with avidity.
Now, good friends, with this history
fresh in your minds. be prepared for its
virtual repetition at the convention in
1908 when it is at deadlock over all
other would-be nominees.
And this, as there is every reason to
believe, is the program now mapped out
by the politicians of the party who are
doing the bidding of "the system"
For, mind you, each and every one
of those named as possible contestants
for the nomination ever has and ever
VIII. put party ascendency before and
above all other considerations.
And who, for one moment now be-
lieves that Foraker, Taft, Root Fair
banks, Shaw, Hughes or any other man
named would stand as much chance Of
winning and keeping the party ascen-
dent as would Roosevelt, with Bryan
the opposing candidate?
Query; Roosevelt being nominated,
would It not follow that his candidacy
would be supported by 1.-The system" ?
Surely no one thinks that this support
would be given to Bryan's candidacy.

''fhey have strung lights upon the

the Bulletin fails to appreciate the ar

which everybody wants TO forget. The
ruins are sufficiently illuminant to
satisfy the average Californian.

The San Francisco Bulletin refers
with apparent regret to the lucrative
tourist traffic which now goes to Los

There will be no objection to the pro-
posed action of the city council in so
amending the wholesale liquor zone or
dinance as to give six months time for
the removal of those houses that are
now outside the zone. Nobody wants
to be unfair or to coniscate property.
With this understanding the ordinance
already passed should become a law at
once.

A Prominent st. Louis Man Goes to
Peniteutiarv

ST. LOUIS, January 1s.-Horace E. Hand,
member of the bar and prominent in the
social and church life of Kirkwood. who
was for seven years the confidential chief
clerk of Judge Luman F. Parker, chief
counsel for the Frisco railway system, was
taken to the state pententiary last night,
after pleading guilty to forgery. His for
geries are said to aggregate $4,000
Bidding farewell to his wife and two
young children after he was sentenced yes
terday afternoon, Mr.. Hand asked that he
be taken to Jefferson City at once, so Tat
he might begin his term of Imprisonment at
dawn today.
Hand was arrested on four informations
prepared by Circuit Attorney Sager Thurs
day night, but only two of these informa-
tons were embodied in the counts upon
which he was sentenced. They involve
more than $4,000, representing vouchers and
drafts to which Judge Parker's name was
forged.
AS Hand freely admitted his guilt and
placed no obstacles in the way OF his pros
ecution, the other charges will probably be
dropped. Officials of the Mercantile Trust
Company who led in the detection and
prosecution of the clerk. say they are try
ing to account for many forgeries which
have passed through the institution since
September. when Hand opened his account.
