DENVER. July Sits all of. Let |
it be set down in the book of history |
that on July s. 1908. nature entered into /
a period Of travail, which the same |
has reference to the event of next No |
vember's election.
The long-distance enduring record In
| political demonstrators was smashed
TO smithereens in an hour and twenty
| seven minutes of frenzied sacrifice or
lungs. laryuxes. umbrellas, and straw
! hats I'm the auditorium at Denver.

mile-high altitude, the Democratic con-

The fact is, as any Of the graduating
class in the high school will tell you,
that when great things are about TO
happen. the gods and the statues know
of the deeds, and the OracIes. the sooth-
sayers. and the scolds get busy. So in
this case. nobody, considering in the
light Of occult science the events lead
ing up to the Denver convention, can
doubt that the signs and portents point
unerringly to the election OF a candi-
date named Bill. who has a brother
Charles and each OF the Bills has
brother Charles. No statues have sweat
ed blood. but a gamecock at York, Pa,
inspired doubtless by the example OF
William R. Hearst, fought his own sha-
| dow to a finish, and at this writing lies
at the point OF death in Colo2el Cuff
feys State.
Nay. more. in Chicago, the home Of
Roger Sullivan, I'm Buena Park, accord
ing to an authenticated and ominous re-
port conveyed by wire. six English
sparrows escorted a seventh to TIE top
of a tree and hanged him h. the feet
in a moose Of thread until he was dead
dead, dead.
In Denver, the convention city, right
under the caves Of the sanctuary, in
