CLASS OF SOLDIERS ARE BETTER

Chicago, Aug. S-According
to the officials of the army re-
cruiting offices In this city the
effects of the law for the in
crease in the army pay, which
became effective on May IL,
have begun to be noticed In the
increase in enlistments. The
greatest increase has been in the
re-enrollment of old army men.
Formerly a great proportion of
men dropped out Of the ranks
after serving one or two enlist
ments, but the much higher pay
which they are now granted has
proved an important factor in
retaining these trained men.
The bill for the advance in
pay that has been such a factor
In the increase IN the number of
men entering the service has
provided an especial raise in the
salaries of all noncommissioned
men. The private soldier on
fnst enlistment, IN addition to
his clothes allowance, receives
$50 a month, whereas he former

ceived the St. Paul Daily News but
not the other papers. We will explain
the reason for this. We wrote the

pers have not been sent, and they re-
piled that there was such rush Of
business, that those papers simply
could not get to the new names for a
short time, but that the matter would
be attended to soon and the subscrib-
ers receive those papers for one year
from the time of the arrival of the
first paper. We are sorry for this de.
lay but it is not our fault.

THEODORE E. BELL
IN KEYNOTE SPEECH.
Daily News Special Staff.

Daily News Special Staff.
Denver, Colo, July, z. 1908.
The feature of the day was the
speech of Theodore E. Bell, former
Congressman from California, tempo
,rary chairman of the convention.
Among other things, Mr. Bell said:
There are three things that this
convention should do. 1t ought to pre-
sent, in. a plain and ineligible man
ner the serious industrial and polit-
ical conditions that are disturbing the
peace and happiness of our country.
We should then proceed to coura
geous exposure of the Republican pol
icies that are now cooperating with
private greed in the general oppres-
sion of the people. And, lastly, and
most important of all, we must exhibit
a readiness and an ability to grasp
the problems in manner that will
satisfy the sober, common sense of the
multitudes whose interests are at
stake.
Among the great evils that afflict
the country at the present time is the
abuse of coporate power. At first, the
advancing aggressions of the corpora
lions are not discernible to the COM
4 mon eye, for every move is carefully
covered up until sufficient political

tests of the people. Thus the constant

stolidly in stole calm, knowing in their
hearts that what is to be will be. A
few of the disgruntled ones from the
effete East are facetious about 1t, and
spent the morning leaning against ma
hogany bars and singing, Were here
because we're here because we're here
because we're here" But the great ma
jority of tn delegates, voicing vocifer-
ously the favoritism of the party's
rank and file in the South and West,
know just why they are in Denver and
will proceed to do it with neatness and
dispatch.
That a.reaf fight may develop in the
convention over the vice-presidential
nomination was made evident today by
the expressions of some of the anti
Bryan delegates and the luke-warm
adherents of the Nebraskan. While
admitting the uselesness of any strug-
gle against the inevitable in regard to
the presidential nomination, they as
sert that Bryan will not be allowed to
dominate the convention to the extent
of naming his running mate. 1t is de-
clared that there are enough dissenters
to force the Bryan men to a compro-
mise in regard to the "tail of the
ticket and to some features of the
| platform. Leaders in New York, New
Jersey, Georgia and Illinois are declar-
ing that they are in position to en-
force their demands for suitable vice
presidential nominee and platform.
| Aside from Johnson, who may be
come formidable candidate for the
second place when his presidential
boom has finally flattened out, Judge
Gray is also being prominently men
toned for the place. 1t is said thai
Gray would be acceptable both tt
Bryan and to the more conservative
wing of the party.
The eastern delegates are also ia
vorable to former Governor David R
Francis, of Missouri, but will fight an,
attempt to name Governor Folk, o
that state, for second place. The con
servatives are also bitterly opposed t

are being pushed into the limelight by
their supporters and the race is yet
apparently an open one, with prob
ability of some 100 to shot finishing
first.
The attitude to be taken by the party
on the union labor question continues
to occupy much attention. 1t is appar-
emily settled that an attempt will be
made to enlist the American Fedora
ton of Lsbor on the Democratic side
in the campaign by adopting strong
anti injunction plank. Representa-
tives of the manufacturers of the coun-
try are on hand, however. and have not
yet ceased in their attempts to block
the labor leaders.
The convention delegates and visi-
tors began to gather early today and
long before the convention was called
to order the hall was well filled.
Thousands of other spectators, unpre-
vided with tickets which would admit
to the sacred precincts, but anxious to
see the distinguished visitors and take
part in the general Notification, gath
