Roosevelt has unmasked but not

Candidates and Pie Eating.

The Ohio State Journal discovers in
Jake Jacobsen's pie eating habits a
very serious political mistake. Says
the Journal.
''It is said that Jacob Jacobsen, the
republican candidate for governor in
Minnesota, eats pie with his knife. It
is hoped the nominee will abandon
this horrid custom. 1t is unrepublican.
It is unconstitutional. Think of a
man who aspires to the suffrages of
the common people eating his pie with
fork Or spoon or in any other old
aristrocratic way.
''Possibly, in the presence of the Ia
dies who are sticklers for style, it may
be we'll to use knife, but when man
gets by himself or with a fellow feel
ing, he does not want to be restricted
to conventional formalities; he wants
to eat his pie straight; take it up in
his hands, bite it off in great rich
mouthfuls, and thus save the divine
sweetness there is in the biting 1t OFF.
This thing of cutting off bites of pie
into geometrical shapes and sneaking
it into the mouth on the blade of a
knife, is robbing pie of it's noblest
JUNCTION. There would be as much sense
in breathing oxygen in octuple moulds
as feeding on rhomobold chunks of pie.
"sBut, says the solemn person,
you can't always take up pie in your
fingers Then it isn't pie. Then it is
a misfit- much water, juice, but
ter, awkward manipulation; too much
of something or other, whereas with
a true pie there is q OF too much of any
thing. Take it up in your hands, Jake.
Throw away the old knife. Be a son
of nature and eat pie from your. hand,
and there are four in our family who
will vote for you.'

O'BRIEN PUSHES ASIDE THE CROWN
Says that Under no Circumstances
will He Become a Candidate
for Governor.

candidate for the democratic nomina-
tion for governor" said Thomas D.
O'Brien, former insurance commits
sioner, in a statement dictated to the
Minneapolis Tribune Thursday after
noon.
There are many stronger men, :"
continued Mr.. o. Brien; "but entirely
aside from the question of expediency,
the necessity of taking care of my law
practice would, at my age and in my
circumstances, make it an act of inius-
tice to my family and myself for me to
re-enter politics. In addition, what
ever duty I have to the public is to
give my best efforts to the rate cases
now pending, the taking of testimony
in which is being actively prosecuted.

cept this statement in good faith and
as final, and will save me the embar-
rassment of appearing to disdain an
honor of which any citizen might be
proud
Commenting On this statement the
Minneapolis Journals political writer
remarks: ''Mr. O'Brien's declaration
is great disappointment to many
democrats, who had picked him as the
man best equipped to make a cam
paign, after Johnson and Lind. They
realize that to oppose Jacobson and
his record they need another man with
a record, and O'Brien is almost the
only one that fills that bill. His as
sets are several. To begin with, he is
the man who carried the New U I'm rate
case to the United States supreme
court, and got almost the only decis-
ION sustaining d state-made rate.

in arranging for the insurance confer

OF the uniform code Of life insurance
laws received special commentator
from President Roosevelt.
"After his voluntary retirement he
headed the commission sent by the
governor to Investigate conditions on
the iron range, and was largely instrn-
mental in seeing that injustice to the
miners ceased. He has been the right
hand man of Attorney General Young
in the state rate cases, and one of his
reasons for refusing to run is the ne
cessity of his sticking to that work.
By his multifarious activity and his
efficiency, he has earned the name of

would have been strong card in the
campaign, but his declaration seems

use OF his name, and asks his friends
TO accept that remark in good faith, to
save him the embarrassment of ap-
pearing to disdaln an honor of which
any citizen might be proud, he makes
it very difficult to continue the O'Brien

PALLADIUM'S VICTORY
ON CONVENTION NEWS

In covering the great Republican National Conven-
ton, the Palladium and Sun-Teegram has led the news
papers of Eastern Indiana in its success in giving to its
readers the latest authentic reports from the big
gathering. Aided by the Hearst News Service, the
forecasts of which enabled the Palladium and Sum-
Telegram to predict days before the baloting COM
menced, the outcome of the race, there was not
feature of the Convention that was not handled in
these columns.
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
At Chicago, and on the field in quest of news that
would be of especial interest to the readers of the
Palladium and Sum- Telegram, was Demas s. Coe,
whose insight into National politics is that of keen
newspaper man. At the Richmond end, an additional
editorial and mechanical force was employed to han
die the Geographic reports with the utmost dispatch.
Events, big men, and interesting scenes surround
ing the convention have BEEN pictured completely.
LEAD ALL OTHER PAPERS.
When the last flash came over the wires late yes
terday afternoon saying William H. Taft had been
chosen the party nominee, the Palladium and Sun ee-
gram presses were waiting for the word. In eleven
minutes after the clerk at Chicago announced the re-
suit, dozens of neWsboys were sCurrying about the
streets of Richmond bringing the first news OF the
nomination to the anxious citizens of this city. 1t was
a clean "scoop" on any other newspaper within ra-
dus of sixty miles.
Fifteen hundred papers were sold on the streets
which indicates not only the interest taken in the
nomination, but the manner in which the Richmond
Palladium and Sum- telegram is appreciated in Rich
mond.
Hundreds of congratuatory messages were show
cred upon the Palladium and Sun-TeIegram today by
citizens of Richmond and Wayne county.

A NOISY CONVENTION.

We're Outshrieked.

Wore Outshrieked.
The noisiest, the jolliest, the most ex-
citing and perhaps least logical cam
paign was that Of 1910. William Hen
~ Harrison, hero of an Indian victory
at Tippecanoe, a plain old man who
had lived, his opponents sneeringly
said, in a log cabin decorated with
coonskins and had drunk hard cider,
was selected by Thurlow Weed as
better candidate than Henry Clay.
The issues between Van Buren,. the
Democratic candidate. and Harrison
were not clearly drawn, but the ad
ventitious circumstances of Harrison's
early life were skillfully utilized for
theatrical effects. Professions miles
long with log cabins, cider barrels and
coonskin caps on poles stretched from
state to state. Glee clubs were a fea-
ture of the campaign. and the Indian
fighter was fairly sung into Office.
In the convention Of 1860 began the
modern custom Of cheering and coun-
ter cheering. The Seward contingent
gave a parade the day Of the conven-
ton. While they were marching Lin
coin supporters filed the Wigwam.
With the naming Of the candidates
began the cheering. Murat Halstead
said that when Seward was nominated
and seconded the shouting was alb
solutely frantic, shrill and wild. Co.
manches or panthers never struck q
higher note or gave screams with more
internal intensity. Looking from the
stage over the vast amphitheater, moth
ing was to be seen below but thou
sands of hats-a black. mighty swarm
of hats flying with the velocity of hor-
nets over a mass of human heads,
most of the mouths of which were
OPEN
But when Lincoln's nomination WAS
seconded the west was heard from.
'I thought the Seward yell could not
be surpassed" said Halstead, but the
Lincoln boys were clearly ahead ana
feeling their victory as there was a
lull in the storm, took deep breaths all
around and gave a scream that was
positively awful and accompanied 1t
with stamping that made every plank
and pillar in the building CULVER"
On the third ballot Lincoln was nom
mated. The shouting was so deafen-
ing that the cannon which was dis
charged on the roof Of the building
could not be heard inside. - Chicago

Mrs. Taft's Inaugural Gown
Will Be Made of Geor-
ola Product.
PLANS ARE ALL MADE.

Atlanta, Ca, June 19.-If Secretary
Taft is elected Mrs. Taft will wear at
the inaugural ball a dress made Of
Georgia raised sill.
Louis B. Magid. of Tallulah Falls,
has wired Alexander Alderman, the
republican national committeeman
from Georgia, who is attending the
Chicago convention, that he wished to
present Mrs. Taft, who he believes will
be the first lady of the land for the
next four years following March 4, a
dress made of silk from the hills of
Habersham.
For the past six years Mr.. Magid has
been engaged in sericulture on his farm
at Tallulah Falls. The silk worms
are being raised at Tallulah, the silk
from the cocoons will be manufactured
in America, and the gown will be de-
signed and finished by dressmaker
in Washington.

administration, he was made secretary
of war, and the big, warm-hearted head
of this department has made the words
spell Peace so plainly that the ma
tons dealings with foreign powers
have never before been conducted on
SO friendly basis as at the present
time.
The great Taft won his victory at the
convention through the unfailing ap-
probation of the common people of the
country. 1t was thoroughly merited,
as his opponents are forced to declare,
and Fairbanks, Hughes and Knox
boomers-all of them-leaped upon
their chairs to take part in the joyful
demonstration.
The nation will be safe in the hands
of such man as William Howard
Taft. He is a statesman, diplomat.
and jurist. His highest ideals are to
complete the noble works commenced
by his friend and counsellor, Theodore
Roosevelt. and when the polls close
next November, the American people
will have proven their appreciation of
the past twelve years of rising prosper
ity and public confidence

Chicago, ILL.,, June 19.-Speaker Can

and asked for his views on the plat

Il think the committee on resolutions
has worked out very commendable
expression as to the position of the
republican party on the two points
over which there was so much contro-

presses in unequivocal language the

enforce their processes and protect

inviolate.

TAKING THE WHOLE
COUNTRY BY STORM.

The new remedy is a recent discov-
cry, but it is taking the whole country
by storm. 1t has cured so many peo-
pie throughout the state within the
past few months that scores of news
papers are publishing local testimoni-
ais, giving names, streets and numbers
Of many people whose word cannot
be doubted. The remedy certainly
must have remarkable merit as so
many people after using it short
while are advising their sick friends to
try it. The Greensburg, Indiana,
Daily Review recently published the
following: Mr.. ]. w. Boyle, of 116
East Washington street, said: My
wife has been taking Root Juice and it
has done wonders for her. Before
taking it she had a very bad stomach.
The lightest food would sour on her
stomach and cause i, to burn and
pain her very much. In fact, she said
she felt like it was raw from top to
bottom. Recently her trouble was ag-
gravated by an attack of la grippe
Her appetite was very poor, but after
taking the Root Juice a few days she
had good appetite and could digest
everything she ate without the least
pain or inconvenience. She is no
longer weak and nervous, and seems
like new woman. The remedy has
proved wonderful blessing to her."
In fact so many people are talking
about the new remedy and telling
about its great soothing, healing and
toning qualities to the stomach, bowels
liver and kidneys that it is now hard
for the Root Juice people to make it
fast enough to fill all orders. 1t is re-
tailed for one dollar a bottle. Many
local people have testified to its won
derful merits, as anyone can learn
by going to A. G. Luken & Co.'S drug
store

John Sharp Williams of Mississippi has
resigned the minority leadership Of the
of the house of representatives to take
