| NEW YORK, June ll.--David B.
Hill sailed for Europe today. Dis
cussing the retirement from active
politics he said: There il no Demo
cratic party When | met the late
Governor Altgeldt shortly before the
first so-called Bryan convention.
told him the policies he represented
would drive the Democratic party
to hell. Then when he begged for
another try, four years later, | said
"fou are most there; stop before you
have absolutely ruined the party"
but Bryan was nominated, and | saw
the futility Of minority report with
only ten votes behind me. Il admit
the Republican party is badly disor-
ganized at the present time. Both
the parties are disorganized. There
was an opportunity but | fear it has
been overlooked,
The cry OF this political cam
paign should be Taft, the candidate OF
political patronage What else is he.
He is put before the people as a
candidate by the power Of political
patronage, nothing else.
Now both the sides in the coming
political struggle will have to 90 to
the masses for their votes. They must
draw from the masses and what bet
ter man could stand against the
power of the patronage than John
Johnson who spent his boyhood in a
county poorhouse Think OF it.
Torchlight professions with banners
reading John Johnson, poorhouse
candidates" and from what have
been able to learn, Johnson is more
than mere near to the people can
didate He is well balanced and an |
able man.
Every time Bryan says 4 kept
faithi it makes me smile. He has |
kept the faith indeed. He kept it out
in Nebraska, his own state, which is
now Republican to its political core.
The Democratic party never wanted |
Bryan, Bryan wanted the Democra-
tic party. He forced himself onto
the party in 1896 and again what was
left Of the party in 1900 and now in
1908 he calls himself the Democratic |
party and says I have kept the
faith"

Harvard Won University Race.

With deafening din of steam
whistles and horns and the fren-
zied shouts of collegians at New Lon
don, Conn, the Harvard varsity eight
shot their boat over the finish line,
winning from the crippled and dis
tanced Yale crew that classic of Amer
lean college aQuatics, the Harvard
Yale university boat race. But in
stead of boat race Harvard finished
the l. t mile and a half of the race
alone, while far behind Yale limped
along with but seven men at the oars,
with Griswold, the stroke-the man
who had been relied upon to set the
winning pace-bent forward, limp and
collapsed from the terrific strain of the
opening two miles.
Up to this unexpected climax it had
been a stirring struggle, worthy of the
best traditions of the old antagonists,
and with a fitting setting of a mag
nificent marine spectacle such as has
seldom been equalled along a regatta
course for brilliancy and imposing
magnitude.

Ohio Lad Braves Heavy Storm on
Erie to Effect Rescue.

Lorraine, o., June 3O.-Alone in a
rowboat lie Roy lie Barron, IL years
of age, rescued three men and two wo-
men whose lives were in danger by
reason of the capsizing of their sail
boat off the harbor in Lake Erie here.
The boy saw the vessel tip over in
a sudden squall. He ran to the
beach, got in a rowboat and, despite
the heavy sea, rowed to the wreck.
He arrived just in time, as the two
women were on the verge of giving
up their hold on the overturned craft.
Friends of the boy will endeavor to
obtain Carnegie medal for him.

delegations at large were elected In
the seating of the delegation headed
by former Senator Dubois has been re-
ceived.
The committee on convention ar
rangements paid visit to the Audi
torium which was pregnant in results
as far as increasing the seating ca
pacity of the hall is concerned, but
brought woe to Architect Wilson.
That gentleman, with keen profess
sional eye to the beauty and finished
character of his work had arranged
the seating capacity in such way
as to produce the most pleasing effect
on the eve of the spectator. In so
doing, however, he had left consider
able amount of vacant floor space,
much of which was in extra width CIV
en- to the aisles.
When the members of the commit
tee visited the hall their eyes at once
fastened upon this extent Of empty
floor, and Roger S. Sullivan of Illinois
at once asked If more chairs could not
be placed. "It would injure the
scenic effect" replied Mr.. Architect
Wilson.
Mr.. Sullivan in a single energetic
sentence gave vent to the opinion that
what the committee desired was seats,
seats, and then more seats, and that
off taE &c 10
be taken itself to any place 1t chose
to go.
The other members Of the commit
tee, whose lives are made a burden for
the unceasing demand for tickets, cor
daily supported the criticisms and
contentious of Mr.. Sullivan with the
result that the seating capacity OF the
hall was at once increased from the
original number of II, ,53S to more than
12,5OO
The members of the committee are
now poring over blueprints in an
effort to see if they cannot still further
increase the possible number of ad-
missions. The alterations suggested
also resulted in allowing seventy-five
additional seats for members of the
press.
