Every time they mention the vice
presidency to him Judge Gray looks
black.
! They yelled for Bryan Just 90 min
utcs but then they had the Chicago
mark to beat.
Environment plays its part in the
| Denver convention and makes for the
nomination of western man. This
would be the case even IL Bryan We're
not the leading candidate in the field.
for the local atmosphere and home en-
ithusiasm always spread among visi-
tors and does their part In carrying con-
viction of the wisdom OF choosing Il
man from the part of the country IN
which the gathering is held. II Den
Yer had not secured the democratic
meeting. and 1t had been held In Phil
adelphia. New York or Boston, the
nomination of western man, particu-
larly Bryan. would have been made a
much harder task. The enormous
number of home boosters that would
have been on hand, reinforced by dele
cations from the various eastern
states where there are many pluto
Gratis with pelf." would have had per-
ceptible effect on the votes Of the dele
gates. But even as Ii Is Bryan has
been feeling the effects Of the eastern
antipathy toward him thru such men
as Alton b. Parker. and Herman Rid
der OF New York. James M. Guffey of
Pennsylvania and Josiah Quincy of
Massachusetts.
The worst trouble about the second
place on the Bryan ticket Is that there
Is only one OF them and at least doz-
en- big eastern states in need Of paci-
fication.
Political problems do not seem to be
confined to the democrats this week
for Candidate Taft and his preceptor
the tenant OF Sycamore Hill. have not
yet been able to satisfactorily dispose
of the campaign managership for the
fall contest. Taft Is said to want
Frank Hitchcock. whose assistance up
to the time Of his nomination was so
valuable. This is said to be opposed
by Arthur I. Vorys, Tafts other man
ager. Frank b. Kellogg is said to have
been urged by Roosevelt to take the
place but prefers. to continue in his
trustbusting task. Postmaster General
George Won L. Meyer has been spoken
OF, but he is too Ill now to do any such
work. Doubtless a good man will be
found before long and in plenty OF
time to defeat Bryan or whoever Is
named at Denver.
What do you think of a. druggists
convention which will seriously con-
slider cutting out the booze business?
The brewers going prohibition soundsd
tame in the shadow Of it.
Something more than quiet humor is
in this paragraph, printed at the end

County Attorney De Graft is opposed |

Muzzle the press and our friend would

For Bryan to send the dove of peace |

flirting with predatory wealth.
Those who are lugubrious about the
corn crop should not begin to NOPE, at |
least not for some time. Word comes |
from Grinnell that within six miles OF |
that city thousands of acres of corn is
knee high while many a field has much |
that is higher. Around MarshalltoWn
there Is corn that is coming up Well
and of good color. There is not much
likelihood that King Corn will lose his
sceptre this season nor that Iowa will !
lose her place as corn state.
II 81 per head is too big a tax for
inspection of dairy herds for tubercu-

Arizona in vain effort to save the life
Of a son or daughter.
Multimillionaire Hartman has put
UP the money for a big factory to
motor cars for railroad
use. Now let those communities lay
their own rails and lease the privilege
of operating cars to some company
that can raise the money to buy half
dozen cars and interurban service will
come within the reach of all.
