Chicago, Ill, July 13.-The first
political wager to be recorded in Chi
cago on the presidential election was
made at the Auditorium hotel last

BRYAN'S CONCEPTION Of PRESIDENCY

4 New York, N. X, July 10. lillian
Is. Bryan, the Democratic nominee
for president, has written an article
entitled ssMy conception of the pres
idency, for the July is issue Of Col
liers Weekly Mr.. Bryan says:
'The presidents power for good or
for harm is often over-estimated.
Our government is a government Of
checks and balances; power is dis
tributed and each official works in
cooperation with others. In the
making Of laws, for instance, the
president joins with the senate and
house; he may recommend, but he is
powerless to legislate, except as a
majority Of the senate and house con-
cur with him. The senate and house
are also independent Of each other,
+ and the president has a vote over
both; except that the senate and
house can by two thirds vote, overule
the presidents vote. The influence
of the president over. legislation, is
therefore, limited. he shares the re
sponsibility with a large number Of
the peoples representatives.
even in the enforcement of Law
he is hedged about by restrictions
He acts through an attorney general
(whose appointment must be approx
ed by the senate) and offenders
Il against the law must be prosecuted
by the courts, so that here again, the
responsibility is divided. In tn,
making of important appointments

care and discretion. The most inn
.portant requisite in a president, as
in other officials, is that his sympathy
shall be with the whole people, rath-
er than with any faction of the popu-
lation. He is constantly called up
on to act in the capacity Of a Judge,
deciding between those who seek
favors and rights and the interests
of the public. Unless his sympathies
are right a few are sure to have an
advantage over the many, for the
masses have no one to present their
claims. They act only at elections,
and must trust to their representa-
tives to protect them from all their
foes. Ii ss H
Second, the president must have
knowledge of public questions and
ability to discern the true and false

tions and to detect the sophistries
that are always employed by those
who seek unfair advantages.
He must possess the moral cour.

AMERICANS BREAK OLYMPIAN
RECORDS At FAMOUS GAMES

London, July 13.Rain interfered
badly today with the opening of the
fourth international Olympic games
by King Edward at the stadium at
shepard's Bush, and although it
cleared off before the hour set for
the formal ceremonies the attend
ance fell short Of expectations.
In some Of the events, too, the con-
testants appeared affected by adverse
weather conditions, but in other
events, particularly the 500-metre
race in which the greatest interest
centered, the men were up to their
form and twice during the afternoon
the record for the distance was
smashed. a4 81
Melvin w. Sheppard, of the Irish
American A. G., Of New York, was
the first to accomplish the trick.
when, In the second heat, pressed
hard by his team mate, J. F, Halstead
Of the New York Athletic club, he
ran the distance in the splendid time
of 4:05, just 2-5 Of a second faster
than that made by ]. D. Lightbody

Minot, N. D., July 13-John Bruhn,
farmer living a few miles south of
Donnybrook, went insane yesterday
morning and after killing his sister,
Miss Rose Bruhn, who was living
with him, suicided. No sause can
be given for the act, as the man had
always lived in the most harmonious
relation with his mother and sister.
They have been residents of this
county for about seven years. The
tragedy was first discovered by his
mother, who lived a short distance
from her son. rs

first heat Of this event, took longer
4 to cover the distance, but they were
not pressed, and doubtless could
have done better if it had been nee
essary. Meadows Of Can. started out
to make the pace in this event, but
Lightbody went to the front in the
stretch and seemed likely the winner
until Sullivan, with a fine burst of
speed, passed him a few yards from
the tape.
The. best performance Of the day,
however, was that of M. f: Hallows,
an Oxford blue, who cut a full two
seconds off the record, much to the
surprise of everybody, as Hallows al
ways has been at his best at three
mile, and 1900 metres was considered
too short for him. He is now thought
to be the most serious rival of the
, Americans in the final of this event,
which will be run tomorrow.
Through their defeat by Sheppard
and Sullivan, Halstead and Light
body failed to qualify. H. L. Coe,
of the University of Michigan, made
| a strong bid for victory in the fourth
heat, but he was unable to keep up
with g. v. Loney Of England, al
though the time was not very bril-
liant. Coe finished second.
