That the WinslOw baseball

the game, declaring it the best
game put up by Winslow this
season. The Flagstaff boys put
up very good article of ball,

WRITER SAYS "A GENTLEMAN"

Los ANGELES. July s.-[Editor

SCHOLARS IN POLITICS

NT LILLIAN JENNINGS BRYAN'S
wv appeal to students and scholarly
men to take an active interest in
politics and in the affairs of the nation
should not be allowed to pass unheed-
ed. The perfunctory manner in which
men of scholarly attachments regard
politics is due to their prejudice against
politicians. They have become obsessed
by an idea that politicians disregard
ethics and take selfish view of life.
There are politicians who are in the
game for what they can get out of it,"
but there are many others who are act
uated by motives of patriotism, who
wish to see the affairs of the country
administered in way which will bring
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der, and will bring about peace and
prosperity. Men of this type, and Will
liam Jennings Bryan is one of them,
deserve the hearty, earnest support of
all the scholarly classes. The students
and graduates of the country, and the
thinking men who have not attended
any university or college but are stu
dents of social conditions, should be
united and will be united in supporting
the candidate who represents some
thing beyond the sordid materialism
which has been substituted by Repub-
licans for the higher national life.

sequel Of the money stringency and the
consequent timidity which for a while
in various parts OF the country re-

prosperity was dependent upon a band
Of interests which had gained con-
troll Of the material supply and de-
mand Of the United States and of the
money market as we'll. The conditions
created by the great depression and
the tidal wave of adversely will not

Conventions Are Condemned
as OufgrOWn Institutions

at Denver. The Democratic politicians
such as Guffey. Murphy. Sullivan and
Connors, hate Bryan, but the rank and
file of the party insist on his nomina-
ton and have settled the result by in
structing the delegates. That Is to saw.
the deliberative function of national
political conventions has gone out of
existence, both at Chicago and Denver.
Says Raymond:
'Mr. Bryan's nomination on the first
ballot, like that of Taft at Chicago.
merely confirms the impression that
the two great political parties are get
ting nearer to the people and becom-
ing, in fact, more democratic.
"The people are to determine the
nominations long in advance of nation
al conventions, and they are getting
more and more into the habit of elect
ing delegates where their preferences
are well understood in advance or who
are carefully instructed as to the votes
they shall cast for presidential nom
nation. 1t begins to look as II the time
were near at hand when national con-
ventions might be abandoned alto
gether, nominations being determined
by national primary in each party.
just as states are now doing in so
many cases in regard to local Offices
