Bryan Men Turned Down by Pop
uIiStS.

Friends of William Jennings
Bryan on April 1. made earnest
but unsuccessful efforts to in
huence in his favor the action OF
the Populist national convention,
which meets in St. Louis on Thurs
day. The majority of the leaders
of the Populist party and the
various reform organizations which
participated in the convention re-
buffed the Bryan people at every
turn.
They also refused to classify
Mr.. Bryan as anything but Dem
ocrat who nas no right to partici-
pate in the counsels of the Populist
party, or to receive consideration
at its hands. Everywhere re-
pulsed, the Brynites will carry the
fight into the convention as a last
resort.

How She Kept Her Youth.

Some one once asked a woman
how it was she kept her youth so
wonderfully. Her hair was snowy
white, she was eighty years old,
and her energy was waning: but
she never impressed one with the
idea of age, for her heart was still
young in sympathy and interest.
And this was her answer. "

things. | tried to master the art

congress May Pass Bill to Pro-
hlbit Handing OF Liquor Ship
ment Into Dry States.

1t is learned that the subcom-
mlttee of the Senate Judiciary
Committee, which has been con-
slderlng the various bills intro
duced for the purpose of pro-
hlbltlng the shipment of liquor
into prohibition States, will prob
ably report measure which will
practically prohibit express COM
panles from handing shipments OF
lntoXlcants to State where the
sale of liquor is prohibited.
1t is proposed to accomplish
this by making it unlawful for an
express company to act as agent
for either consignor or consignee.
This Committee reached the con-
cluslon some time ago that the
shipment of liquor into prohibition
States could not be prevented by
su6Jecting such shipments to the
police regulations of the States.

Gov. Augustus E. Wilson, of

night riders in the tobacco dis.

part follows:
The men mixed up in the night

The Republican National Conven-
tion has been held and Hon. William
H. Taft, of Ohio, the big Secretary
of War, against the will of his party
and at the command of Dictator
Roosevelt, is the next Presidential
nominee of his party. The conven-
ton, it was understood beforehand,
was to be only ratification meeting
of the choice of the man in the White
House and the delegates in attend
ance for the most part complied with
his wishes in every respect. 1t was,
in fact, a one man convention and
dominated in all things from start to
finish by Mr. Roosevelt. He chose
the presiding officers, dictated the
platform and named the man and
everything was so we'll planned by
him there was not hitch i'll the pro-
gram. Mr. Taft is, therefore, the
nominee of his party according to the
best and most up-to-date machine
methods" and it is up to the voters OF
the country now to say, whether or
not. they will be as subservient to the
demands of the President as the dele
gates were in attendance at the con-
yention. 1t is. for them to say by
their votes, whether or not, man
nominated by such methods, and who
must be so entirely in subsection to
another as he must be to Mr.. ROose-
Welt, is fit to be the head of this great
nation.
Mr.. Taft has as his running mate
Congressman James Sherman, OF
New York, and there is nothing in
his record surely to commend him to
the voters of the country, according
to the following from the Buffalo
Courier, a leading newspaper in his
own State:
"It is hardly believable that ma
tional convention could be led into
the folly of nominating a man like
JIM SQ6IIudlli vi OOlSei3 III w. -
ident of the United States. Patriotic
men of all parties may well deplore
the fact that the Republican cOnven-
ton so far forgot the Importance,
dignity and possibilities of the high
Office of Vice-President as to name a
person so utterly unfit to become Presi-
dent. The Republican presidential
ticket is now tainted ticket 1t is
tattooed. 1t flies the pirates flag. 1t
has been stamped Doodle" 1t
means a Doodle Republican cam
paign from start to finish. 1t
has been notorious for years that
Congressman Jim Sherman has been
the handy man of the congressional
machine that has taken care of 1.-THE
System" that has looked after the
interests of the high financiers who
have manipulated the great corporate
combinations and fairfield trusts. If
the Republican convention had search
ed the country far and wide for the
man most pleasing to "the malefac-
tors of great wealth" it couldn't have
found one more satisfactory to them
than Jim Sherman"
A banner with machine" and
"boodle' written SO conspicuously
over it, ought not to be attractive
enough to command the support OF
the majority of the voters Of the
country.
