ROW STARTS
WHEN GUFFEY
IS Thrown
Crisis of Rebel Movement
Comes with Test of the
Anti Strength.

CONVENTION HALL, DENVER
Colo, July S-The Democratic ma
tlonal convention held brief session
today but will meet again tonight
when stirring scenes and highly color
ed incidents are expected. Delay was
necessary by the inability of the COM
mittee on credentials to have its re-
port ready for the convention. The
resolutions committee, too, is max
ing slow progress and It being certain
that delay must come for some time
1t was decided 1t should take place
today.
The chief interest Of the day is
conferred around the action of the
credentials committee In declaring
against Col. Guffey of Pennsylvania,
and preparations are being ny de by
him to organize his forces for a bat
tie In the convention.
New York Shows CoIors
In this fight New York for the first
time gave an indication of where its
colors win fly. It having In company
with thirteen other states signed the
minority credentials report which will
be reported to the convention. The
aggregate voting strength of these
states is S76 but that figure is not an
exact statement of the votes Guffey
will be able to call to his side as not
all Of them are acting under the unit
rule.
CONVENTION HALL, DENVER,
Colo, July S-With the assurance of
another perfect day and the promise
of an interesting fight over the re-
port of the committee on credentials
which Guffey and his Pennsylvania
friends are expected to contest, the
convention crowd commenced early
to move toward the convention hall.
Parade by Tammany.
All, however, were impeded by a
great parade OF Tammany men from
New York who wound their way
around the business section OF the
city. About thousand men were in
line. 1t was by far the largest pa
rade which has SO far taken place
during the convention.
Bryanltes Cheerful.
The Bryan men came trampIng in
to the auditorium with cheerful faces.
The events of the night and early
morning in the committee of creden-
tials were much TO their liking and
they were more confident of ultimate
success for their candidate.
Gufrey is Cheered
During all the time the delegates
were finding seats band kept up a
continuous stream Of music.
Among the early arrivals were Rep
resentative Harry B. Clayton, of Ala
hama. who will be named by the or
ganIzation committee as permanent
chairman of the convention.
Temporary Chairman Bell reached
the rostrum just before noon and was
cheered.
Col. Gufrey, of Pennsylvania, was
cheered when he walked down tho
aisle to his place in the Pennsylvania
delegation. He was soon surrounded
by his friends who apparently wanted
to know what plan Of action had been
), decided upon by him.
Convention Called to Order.
1t was 1925 when Chairman Bell
began to rap for order. He intro
duced the Rev. Mr. Reisner, who de-
lIvered prayer. After the prayer .

through the hall and there was great

total of 213 votes, including always
the seven from the newly created state
of Oklahoma.
This, then, is the situation which
the map shows: When the Demo-
Gratis carry every state which Parker
carried in 1904. which Bryan carried
in 1900, and which Bryan carried in
1896, together with the newly created
state of Oklahoma, they will have
secured total of 213 electoral votes.
and they will still be 29 votes shy on
, an election and a victory.
1t is evident, therefore, that if
Bryan is to win the Democrats must
go back beyond the campaigns of the
past II years and secure more
strength from some state or states
ago, when they elected President
Cleveland, the last man of their party

| ing the entire Democratic strength of
| the past IL years, he must secure 20
votes from those states which are
| left unshaded, and which have been
| Republican ever since the first cleo
ton of President Mckinley.
The recapitulation in every instance
! takes no cognizance of split
electoral votes, but is based on a
majority of the electoral vote of each
state in each instance.
How, then, can Mr.. Bryan's cleo
ton be brought about by his friends,
and how can his defeat be encom-
passed by his enemies?
In the first place, the state of
New York, all by itself, with its

the ascendency the question of secur-
ing the necessary majority must be ap-
preached from a Democratic stand
point.
In 1904 Parker and Davis received
but 140 electoral votes, or 102 votes
short of a majority and an election. A
glance at the political map, on which
these states are shaded in heavy black
lines shows that the Democratic vote
in 1904 was strictly southern ballot.
1t included states which have never
gone anything but Democratic since
the memory of man runneth not to the
contrary. Therefore a nonpartiSan OBJ
server will readily grant to Mr. Bryan
nucleus of 140 votes as starter TO-
ward his strength for 1908. To TINS
southern field may be added the new
state of Oklahoma with it's seven votes,
making a total nucleus of 147.
The next states to which Mr.. Bryan
might logically expect to lay title would
probably be those states which he car car
ried in 1900, but which Mr.. Parker rail-
ed to hold in 1904. This class includes
five states, which are shaded with the
| light double lines, and includes MIS-
souri,, Colorado, Idaho, Montana ana

Men Need Not Look Old
Prematurely.

The bane of many mems existence
is premature grayness. The great
trouble in the search for a restorer of
color has been the seeming impos-
sibility of getting a preparation that
is anything more than mere dye
the use of which any one can detect.
At last though, there is a real Hair
Restorer. One that restores the color
of youth and no one in the world,
barber or specialist, can detect
whether the restoration of color is
due to nature or medication.

the name of the great discovery that
has brought the muchly hoped for re-
lief to men and women who are en-

prematurely gray.

There are 4S3 votes in the ELECTORAL
eoilege. A candidate must have 242 to
win. After Bryan carries every state
which the Democrats have carried in
any of the last thre campaigns, as
shown by the different shadings, he
must still get % votes from the Re-
publican territory, represented in pure
white on the map. in order to win.
The surest way to answer to your
own mind the question of whether Mr..
Bryan or Mr.. Taft is to succeed to the
presidency of the United States is to
glance at a political map. A number
OF interesting conclusions will at once
strike home to you.
II you are a Republican you win find
a territorial insurance against the de-
feat of your candidate which rightfully
will give you a cause for legitimate
optimism.
If you are a Democrat you will rec
ognize the necessity for a most strenu-
Gus campaign, which must carry in its
victory some states which have not
gone Democratic since 1892 in the days
of President Cleveland.
There are 4Ss votes in the electoral
college. This is seven more votes thar
were cast in the college of 1904, due
to the presence in this campaign Of the
state OF Oklahoma. A majority of the
electoral college is necessary 20 elect e

sovereign 80 electoral votes could de-
termine the election. 1t went for
Cleveland in 1892. but has been Re
publican ever since. If Bryan can
carry New York he can win.
The second surmise upon which to
base a possibility of Democratic victory
necessarily includes the state of Indi-
ana, in which Democracy has made a
strong fight for recognition by nominat-
ing a vice president from that common
wealth, after the Republican party re-
fused to recognize the state in the Re
publican national convention. If Bryan
and Kern can carry Indiana with It's
15 votes. they will then be but IA
votes shy of an election California
and Oregon combined would turn the
trick. Michigan alone would just turn
the trick. Massachusetts alone would
turn the trick with two, to spare. West
Virginia and Connecticut would just
balance the scales.
| In the meantime it must be noted
that old Pennsylvania. with her "a

by itself turn the tide of battle. But
Pennsylvania was not Democratic even
| in the landslide of 1892. Neither was
Massachusetts. Neither was Oregon.
1t is interesting to note that with the
213 votes representing the combined
Bryan and Parker strength of past
years, Mr.. Bryan, although 29 votes

Skeleton of a Duckbin .Dinosaur
Found in Wyoming.

New York, Oct. 3-The Museum
of Natural History has just obtained a
gigantic duckbill dinoSaur from
Wyoming. The skeleton of this ami
NAL was found by cowboys at a point
about 135 miles from Miles City.
Barnum Brown, one or the museum
fossil hunters, was informed of the
find and after examining this skeleton
purchased it as it lay in the ground.
The bones were unearthed after about
three weeks of careful digging and it
was found that the skeleton was near
ly complete. Some idea of this gigan-
tic monster of the reptile family may
be gained from the comparison of its
hoof on the head of an attendant.
The Topeka state journal., 1908-10-03

The position in which the skeleton
was found showed clearly that the
dinosaur must have sunk hopelessly
in the soft ooze of a river or lake 1t
was covered by successive deposits of
sediment and in the course of ages all
the bones turned to fossil stone. It
took two weeks to haul the fossil re-
mains to the nearest railway station.
The skeleton shows that the
dinosaur had a large head, four feet
long and two feet wide, and in 1t were
about 1000 teeth.
These animals were principally
aquatic. wading in and living around
the rivers. The tail was deep and
narrow, and was used principally as
an organ for swimming, acting as O
propeller. The tail also probably
served to balance the body when the
animal reared up.

CIRCUS PERFORMANCE is GOOD
Many People Enjoy the HnRenbeck-
Wallace show OF Many Novel
EenturRa.

When the Hagenbeck and Wallace shows
were combined 1t formed one OF the strong
circus attractions now on the road, which
gave a performance to fully 5000 people
who comfortably filled the big tent Thurs
day night. The rain of the morning kept
down the crowd at the afternoon perform
ance. ~
Two rings, the trained wild animal steei
cage, the platform. the aerial acts and the
clowns kept the audience busy all even
ing trying to keep up with all that was
going on. Fourteen elephants did their
stunts we'll. Several of the feature acts
had never been presented in Omaha be-
fore, especially a couple Of foreign novelty
acts, which were quite exciting. The Van
Diemans on the devil wheel are thrillers.
Four women hung by their teeth from the
revolving wheel pulled to the top Of the
tent and did such stunts as the skirt dance
and whirling at full speed as the wheel
went round and round.
Lon Moore made a hit with his base ball
game. which he played by himself, and the
Borsini troupe from Belgium did some ac-
robatic work while on the uncertain and
moving foundation OF tricky rolling globes.
The quadruple equestrian act Of the Bedini
family with the collie dog, all doing stimuli
taneous leaps from the ground to the rum
ming horse and ending with all four and
the dog riding one horse. won the admira-
ton of those at the south end of the tent.
In the large steel arena the Hagenbeck
wild animals, under the guidance OF John
Helliot, showed they had forgotten the
habits OF the forests and jungles and had
become subject to the will OF man. In the
first group were lions, tigers, pumas.
leopards. polar bears and boar hounds. on
the second appearance of the wild animals
an African lion and leopard rode two large
gray horses around the arena. and jumped
through hoops of fire, showing remarkable
equestrian sbilityt. A huge Bengal tiger
under the guidance Of Phil Castang rode
an Asiatic elephant. A 6cO-pound polar
bear and a l%sO-pound man gave an exhibit
ton of the wrestling game.
A new head balancing act was that OF
the De Rocks, two men, a boy and a dog.
Their feature act was a head balance with
two men and the dog, with the dog in the
middle Of the trio. The stock OF the show
was in fine condition, especially the ring
stock. and the performance ended with a
Roman hlppodrome with the standing races
and the thrilling chariot race.
