call for the national convention fixed its
membership at 1 ,OO2, the Philippines be-
Ing excluded from representation. Six
Philippine delegates have been chosen,
however, and will apply for admission.
Sixty-four dele gates are still to be chosen
from the four states of Georgia, North
Carolina, Vermont and Montana.
Georgia's delegation may . divided,
but Montana and North Ca lima are
likely to support Mr.. Bryan. OF the
93S delegates 80 isr elected 727 are in
structed for Mr.. Bryan or committed t.
his support by resolutions of preference
or public announcements. twenty-five
are for johnson, II are for Gray and us
are uucommiited. Mr.. Bryan hiss the
support of 77.5 per cent of the delegates
40 far elected, and according to these
figures, will have q walkOver on the Hrat
ballot at Denver All talk TO the effecl
that he will not secure the nomination
on the first ballot seems to vanish in the
face Of these figures. 1t would not be
surprising if Mr.. Bryan's name were tht
only one presented at Denver.

fencing of thirteen Russians TO prison

Jews at BialstOk two years ago, has
not tended to pacify the Jews in the
least. They assert that the men SEN

high Russian officials, who instigated
the massacre. One Of the convicted men
was sentenced to three years in prison,
and twelve 0thers to nine months.
Seventeen were acquitted. The prose-
cutor begged for mercy for the men, de-
clsring that the Jews themselves pro.

MRS. LOGAN CAUSES SURPRISE.


Mr.. John A. Logan amazed a large
concourse gathered in Memorial Hall in
the Public Librsry in Chicago Saturday
to witness the unwilling Of broDzs
bust of her husband by plunging into a
discussion OF the unhappy marital ex-
perience Of her daughter, Dolly Logan
Tucker, and by voicing her bitt rness
against her daughters husband, Col.
William F. Tucker, chief paymasIer Of
the Department of the Lakes.
Mrs. fuckers charges against her hus-
band of indsoretions with facinsting
widow id the Philippine Islands, and the
att ,mpt of herself and Mrs. Logan to
have Col. Tucker cashiered by court
martial from the army. formed one OF
the most sensational chapters of Dewspa-
per history in recent years.
The 800 old soldiers, their families,
and friends who assembled to listen to
Mrs. Logan, who bad been invited to
make the principal address st the un-
yelling of the bust Of "Blsck Jack"
Logan, knew of the venerable woman
dislike for her daughters husband. But
they were startled when she took the oc-
casion as an opportunity to make the
public familiar with her private griefs.
'In the twenty-oue years that have
passed since Gen. Logan lay down to
peaceful slumber," she said, 81 have
lived in bitter experience, the saddest
being the past two years, because OF the
living sorrow which has come to our
surviving child. We have borne all
in silence, as we felt Gen. Logan would
have had us do, believing that time
would bring complete vindicstion and
proof that it was not brought on by an
act ofoura."

of the myriads it has slain cries out
from the earth for its overthrow.
The groans and tears of heartbroken
parents, the agonies of worse than
widowed wives, the shame and deg
radiation of a countless number OF
children go up to heaven in one
mighty accusation against it. Are
our eyes blinded, that we cannot see
the malignant curse it works upon
our fellows. Are our ears leaden,
that we cannot hear the mighty cry
Of agony that goes up continually
from its victims. Are we so selfish,
so careless of the welfare Of those
of our brethren, that we shall not
arise in the interest Of eternal right
and cxterminate these plague-spots
of modern civilization, stop up these
breeding holes of hell, shut forever
those gates Of death through whost
portals there goes down to damna.

Now that both big parties have

past years and what may be done in
the good year 1908, we publish be-

forecast Of the outcome Of the

it is but fair to say, and Republican
newspapers admit it, that Bryan
has more "sure" votes than Taft,

that more of the doubtful states
