n ~ an openg faGt, OF course that
the poll Ies have had their
strong Repnbli lean pponents. and that
theseihaye been powerful In the ,coun-
eli; the ruling eoteries Of both
houses ot Con gress. AS the prelimin;
err work OF finding a 2cand idate pro-
ceelel yat the Chicago Convention, the
distin elton between the .sprogresslyes,'ss
led by the Roosevelt administration,
and the so-called freac tlonaries" be;
came more sharply accumulated. But
twas ALSO clear that the Roosevelt
element OF the party represented the
vast majority pf the Republican vo::
ers. Mr.. r ats strength I: as a can.
.dldate5 was due above ell else to the
knowledge that Mr.. Roosevelt was ad.
Fancing his selection, and to the fur.
Their knowledge that. as a great mem
Der of the Roosevelt administration.
Atr:5 Taft was thoroughly known bath
aslto his views and also as to his re-
n1arkable qualifications for the presi-
dency. Thus the real platform OF the
Repub lican party IN this campaign Ia
Mr.4T It himself as endorsed and guar.
anteed by Mr.. Roosevelt. Mr.. Bryan
and his supporters will doubtless show
great dizziness and skill In criticising
the resolutions as: adopted at Chicago,
and will point out what can be made
to appear as serious Inconsistencies.
But when all this Is done there will
remain the great fact that Mr.. Taft
was easily nominated on the first
ballot securing 7o2 votes in con.
yention Numbering $50 delegates. Fur.
tliermore, this nomination was ac-
quiesced in by the remaining men,
bers Of the convention. nearly all OF
whom would gladly have voted for
Mr.. Taft on the first ballot If they hal
not been bound by instructions to cast
their votes for the so.called "favorite
sons"of their own States. Thus many
t9ft the New York delegates who voted
for Hughes openly stated that they
desired to vote for Taft: and the en-
tire delegation was heartily in sym.
pathy with the nomination. Almos.
the same thing might be. said OF tho
Pennsylvania vote. which was cast for.
Senator Knox: the Illinois vote, which,
by way Of compliment. was announced
fpr Speaker Cannon, and the Indiana
pate, which was accorded to Vice
President Fairbanks. Even the Via
consin vote. which was for Senator
La Toilette. was cast by. men who.
were warmly cordial to Mr.. Taft. In
short. the differences between the SO.
called "rea ct!onaries' and the main
b2dy of .the convention did not cut
deep enough to create any bitterness
against the winning candidate. Mr..
Taft tsaas completely and heartily the
accepted andidate OF his party as any
man could possibly be. Seldom II ever
has any American rlrty had finer
candidate, or one upon whose choice
1t had better reason for self-congratu-
lat!on.-Frorn "The Progress of the

Not a New Story, But a Good One.

a petty teacher in a country school
had profound dread of smallpox.
and was most energetic in backing
up the efforts of the local board of
health. 1t came to her ears that the
mother of one of her pupils was con-
fined to the bed with a mysterious
disease, and she at once jumped into
the conclusion that it was smallpox.
She put the pupil through rigid
cross questioning, but without OBJ
tanning from her any information as
to the nature of the illness. She
then sent the child home with posi-
tive instruction to find out the nature
of the disease and equally positive Or
dcrs to remain at home should the
malady prove to be contagious.
Next morning the little girl ap-
pcared among her classmates. The
teacher observing her, exclaimed:
Jenny Thompson, are you here
again? Hasn't your mother got the
smallpox"
If you please, ma'am," said Jen-
ny. my mother says it's q boy, but
it not catchin' if you're careful"

Death of Col. d. P. Brown

Col. D. P. Brown died at his home
in North Wildwood last Saturday,
aged "a years. Funeral services were
held at his late home here on Monday
evening and the body was taken to
Pottsville, Pa, on Tuesday for burial.
MI. Bro wn was a native of Schuylkill
county and as a small lad went to
work in the coal mines as a breaker
boy. He was industrious and studious
and arose to be one of the prominent
coal operators in Schuylkill county with
a large salary. For many years Mr..
Brown was division superintendent for
the Lehigh Valley Coal Company at
Lost Creek. He owned a hotel and
other property in Pottsville and at one
time was supposed to be wealthy. He
was in the coal business for over half a
century and was a veteran of the Civil
war. Mr.. Brown and his family have
been coming to Wildwood for the past
eighteen years and he built one of the
first houses in the new Wildwood ex-
tension about eight years ago which he
used as a summer home until he sold
it. Later he bought the Brannan cot
tage al the corner of 10Th and Central
where he lived at the time of
his death. Mr.. Brown was three times
married, his second wife dying about
eight years ago. By this marriage he
had two children, David and Gaynor.
David is said to have enlisted in the
navy and IS now with the fleet in the
Pacific ocean. Gaynor, his sister, went
west a few years ago and married. His
third wife was Mrs. Schriner, the
mother of Mrs. David 9. Bayless, to
whom he was married a few years ago
and who nursed him faithfully in his
latter years. For the past few years he
has been quite feeble in body and
mind but was able to be out of doors
until up to within a few months ago.
