FRANK DAY IS CONFIDENT
SAYS Minnesota Convention Will
be Overwhelmingly in Favor
of johnson.
Does Not Believe His Opponents
Can Muster Two Counties
to the District.
Denounces Character of Attacks
Made by Bryan Men as Unfair
and Undemocratic.

On the eve Of the primaries and con-
ventions Which are to determine who
shall be the choice of the Minnesota
democracy in the Denver convention,
Chairman Frank A. Day, who is in
charge of Gov. Johnson's interests,
has issued the following statement:
"The opposition campaign in this
state has been from the outset one of
brag and buster, deceit and detrac-
ton. Its managers claim they will
carry six of the nine congressional
districts, and control the state conven-
ton by $50 to 200 majority. The alb
surdity of these figures will soon be
demonstrated at the polling places,
but I am willing to go on record now
as saying that in the first four con-
gressional districts, Mr.. Bryan will
not carry, on an average, one county
to the district, and in the remaining
five districts he will not average two
counties to the district. I ought to
know the state, and believe, if any
thing, / have been too liberal in these
estimates Of their strength The ohm
son men will control the state con-
vention seven or eight to one.
''There has never been anything
known in democratic politics in Min
nesota like the tactics employed by
the opposition to Governor johnson.
For the past month, at least a dozen
men have been travelling up and down
the state, privately interviewing demo-
Gratis in the different counties, not
booming Mr.. Bryan, but insidiously
detracting from Governor johnson
personally and his public record.
Four or five different forms of circu-
lars have been issued and scattered
broadcast over the state. These have
not had for their purpose the exalting
of Mr.. Bryan, but the discrediting of
the governor of our own state. repre-
sentlng him as a creature of the cor
porations, and attempting to show
that he is inimical to the interests of
the people. Take for instance the
postcard, printed in bold red type, in
which Governor Johnson is made to
appear as the tool of Wall street, Jim
Hill and Tom Lowry were there ever
more disreputable methods used to
break down and destroy high official?
We all know something about the cost
OF campaign work, and to say that

GLIMPsEs OF DIR. DIX.
A Well Known Episcopalian Divine
Sample of His Fighting Spirit

A Well Known Episcopalian Divine.
Sample Of His Fighting Spirit.
As rector of Trinity parish in New
York city Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix. the
venerated and venerable Episcopal cler-
gyman, who recently died in New
York, had under his immediate con-
troll nine churches and twenty six cler-
gymen. In addition to his church
work he had great responsibilities in
a business way. The Trinity church
corporation owns property estimated at
$39, 100000 or more and pays taxes on
$1S,OOO.O0O.
1t has an income of almost million
dollars a year. but the strict business
principles on which it is run permit it,
according to the statistics available
to expend but $3.50 in maintenance
and benevolence The administra ton
of the corporation has always been con-
Quoted with a secrecy approxima ting
the mysterious. and DR.. Dix as an inn
portant factor in the corporation al
ways maintained a strict silence when
any information for publication was
sought concerning it's affairs. Not since
1914, it is said, has the public been
told anything about Trinity. DR.. Dix,
who was therefore required to be a
fnancier of ability as we'll as spir-
itual power, received salary of $685.
900 a year.
DR.. Dix was born in New York in
1927, was educated in Columbia col
lege and the General Theological sem
mary and by travel and study abroad.
He was ordained priest in Philadel-
phia in 1858 by Bishop Alonzo Potter.
and in 1855 he formed his permanent
association with Trinity parish, first
as assistant minister in 1855, four
years later as assistant rector and as
rector in 1862.
DR.. Dix was unalterably opposed to
divorce, and in 1904, after the Episco-
pal church in America refused to take
the decisive stand against the divorce
evil, he led his parish in declaring that
no divorced person whatsoever should
be married in any of its churches.
The fighting spirit of the man was
exemplified in a lawsuit which he
waged when he was past seventy-five
years old until he finally won in New
York states highest court The amount
at issue was not large, but the principle
was great. DR.. Dix inherited a life in
terest in several up state farms At the
end of one tenants occupancy DR.. Dix
brought suit for misuse and waste of
the woodland on the property The
lower court held that he could collect
only for his life interests share and
not the total damage, but the aged rec.
tor would not accept this verdict and
kept on fighting until he won.
To music and art both in and out OF
the church DR.. Dix found time from
his literary and clerical tasks to give
much attention. He was promoter
of the first choral society in New York
and took part in the first service giver
in New York city. Collections Of rare
books and manuscripts, both medieval
and American, was one Of his diver
sions.

BIG SPECULATION IN COINS.

Mottoless Gold Money Kept From Cir
culation In Hope of Premium.
A new form Of speculat ton has de-
Veloped at Washington and in other
parts of the country. The spectators
are interested in the fate Of the bill
restoring to the st. Gaudens twenty
dollar gold piece the motto SIN God
We Trust and are withholding from
circulation an immense amount Of
gold coin, which, treasury officials say,
is having an effect on banking firms
Persons informed on the subject as
sert that when the bill to restore the
motto to coins was introduced in the
house bank clerks and other knowing
ones promptly began to convert their
ready money into the gold pieces in
the expectation that premium would
be placed on them by collectors.
Introduction of the bill caused run
on the treasury department, and the
coin went to premium of about 50.
When the bill passed the house the
premium went higher. The bill is now
before the senate committee on the
judiciary.
Several of the pieces sold for $50 in
Washington few days ago, and it is
said that one of the spectators,
Chinese merchant, has several thou
sand dollars invested in the coins.

The Province Of the Stage.

) Is
At a recent dinner in New York,
Augustus Thomas, the eminent play
wright. made the following pungent
observ ations on the theatre:
stThe theater is a place for the pre-
sentation of ideals is its only
excuse for existing. Unjust, OF course,
present those ideals in entertaining
fashion, but the ideals cease to be
ideals when they cease to entertain.
Every man, woman and child has an
ideal. An ideal is a mental picture
more or less persistently held IN the
mind of a person, and more and more
insistently governing that person S
conduct. From time to time we out
grow our ideals. A boy, whose ideal,
! it is to be an athlete, reaching athlete
condition, forms another mental pic
ture in advance Of that and moves
toward that second ideal, and SO from
|epoch to epoch of our lives, we are
constantly reaching, ontgroWing and
discarding ideals and constantly form
ing new ones. To live up to an ideal
is frequently an expensive thing. To
realize an ideal is an expensive thing.
The chances are that if for any one
day any one man should live up to
the height of his ideal, he would be
bankrupt. Ideal conduct in our mo-
dern complex civilization is possible
only in such presentations as the the
atre offers, and that is the purpose Of
the playhouse-to present ideal hero
ism, ideal sacrifice, ideal charity,
ideal mercy, ideal justice.
"There is a large contention that the
playhouse is a place for entertainment
only. An adherence to this notion has
always reduced the playhouse to the
condition of vaudeville the theater
has never been place of entertain
ment only. 1t must be always enter
tanning, if it is to have the attention
of its auditors, but, the attention Sc
cured, it must always have a message.
ssThe theater began as a religious
institution in the earliest days of it's
record. The first Greek playwright
who dared to write of man instead OF
writing of the gods was prosecuted for
sacrilege and almost driven from
Athens, and there has never been a
time when the idea that the theate1
was place of entertainment only has
not been successfully contested.
Whenever the drama of any nation
becomes in the ideas of the public,
and of the critic-who is the public
specialized-a decadent theater, it is
because the playwrights of that nation
have for the time being lost sight OF
the fact that the theater was a place
| for the presentation Of ideals, was the
avenue for a message, and have en-
deavored to degrade it to simple ia.
stitntion Of entertainment.

Prize For Painters.

German painters are competing for
unique prize offered by the German
emperor, says the Berliner Borsen
Fourier. The kaiser wishes to give to
the Emperor Francis Joseph as a jubi-
lee present a life size portrait of him
self in the uniform of a general wear
ing the helmet and, contrary to his
usual custom, has not intrusted the
work to an artist selected by himself,
but has invited competition. Many
sketches are now being made, and the
painter whose work pleases the kaiser
most will receive the order.

$4,000 has been spent in the class of
work mentioned would be a low es-
innate.
Here is another instance showing
the character of the methods invoked.
The leading representative of the so
called Bryan volunteers in Minneapo-
lis has come to me twice within the
past ten days, saying a circular had
been prepared and was about to be
printed which would forever put an
end to Governor Johnson as a public
man; that he had personally held back
its publication out of friendship to
the governor, but that he had come to
arrange a compromise by which the
governor should receive compliment
tary vote at Denver, the delegation to
then fall in for Bryan, and on this
basis he volunteered to suppress the
circular and the matters to be covered
by it. / politely informed him that if
there was anything connected with
Governor Johnson's career which his
enemies had not already published, it
had better come out now, and that J.
would not under any circumstances
consider the question of compromise.
Whether or not they have published
the circular do not know, butt shall
not be surprised at any method, how
ever unfair, or however undemocratic,
that may be employed to avenge
the disappointment of the men who
have failed in securing favors at the
hands of the administration during
Governor Johnson's incumbency of
the Office.
''And, while we have every reason
to believe, based on a careful and yet
conservative canvass of the situate
in every county in the state, that Gov
ernor Johnson's friends will, as I have
said, control the state convention by
majority SO pronounced as to make
the contest not worthy of the name,
Democratic friends and admirers of
the governor will take nothing for
granted in any precinct, and will at
tend the caucuses in his behalf.
Minnesota, which gave her favorite
son $4,000 majority only a little over
a year ago, will not reverse herself in
19O8."
