HARMON CHOICE or DEMOCRATS
OHIO GOVERNOR MAY BE NEXT

Representative Ashbrook Says Poll OF
Congressman Shows Buckeye
Executive in the Lead.

Columbus, o., June 30.-Congress-
man W. A. Ashbrook of the Seven
teenth Ohio district, who has returned
from Washington brings the informa-
ton that Gov. Judson Harmon is prac-
tically the unanimous choice of the
Democratic members of congress for
the nomination for the presidency in
1912.
Just before leaving Washington"
said Mr.. Ashbrook, Il had a confer
ence with A. P. Ross, the editor of the
new national party organ of the Dem
ocrats at Washington, and he in
formed me that he had polled 1z5 of
the 161 Democrats in that body on
their presidential preferences and
every man polled, stated that his first
choice was Harmon of Ohio.
1T may be-" said Mr.. Ashbrook,
that in the small number that have
not been yet polled by Mr.. Ross, there
but even if they should all be for
other Democrats a very improbable
thing, Gov. Harmon would still be the
overwhelming first choice"
Congressman Ashbrook said he was
surprised to find how strong Gov. Har-
mon was among the congressman
from the south and east.
From what l have observed at
Washington" said he, Il believe he
will be generally acceptable in all
parts of the country. l do not think
Bryan has any desire for the nomina-
ton IL 1912, and am sure that so far
as he is concerned Gov. Harmon will
be very acceptable as the presidential
candidate. The fact that Bryan has
not discouraged talk about himself as
candidate for United States senator
Is evidence to me that he is not fig
uring on being candidate for the
presidency. If he does, Harmon,
think. will get the honors"

WRIGHT MAKES TRIAL FLIGHT
CIRCLES FORT MYER AERoDRoME
IN NEW CRAFT.
Fails Three Times and Then Meets
Success When the Trouble 10
Discovered.

Washington, June 3O.-After max
ing three unsuccessful efforts to get
his new aeroplane into the air, Orville
Wright made short fight, encircling
the Fort Myer aerodrome late yester-
day afternoon.
Lack of power, dlls to a loose spark
control, was finally determined upon
by the two Wrights as the cause for
the refusal of the machine to fly for
more than few hundred feet beyond
the end of the starting rail. Their
consistency in trying, time after time,
o make the machine behave properly
won the APPROVAL of the large crowd
that had gathered in anticipation of a
light.
When the final trial was started the
machine rose to height of about Is
or 20 feet. Shortly after it assembled
from the ground it showed signs of
losing Roadway, but Orville lsept on
around the field remaining in the air
about fifty seconds and landing al
most Immediately in front of the
starting track.
The difficulties which attended
Under ideal weather conditions the
irst trials of the flying machine,
which rs a new one constructed to re-
place the one smashed by the acct
lent at Fort Myer last September, is
l yindication of the Wrights in their
refusal to make hight the day be-
ore in an adverse wind.
"A flying machine is like a horse"
was the way Wilbur put it afterwards.
IL it's new, you have to get used to it
before 1t will go just as you want it to.
You have to learn it's peculiarities.
I'M glad we learned what the trouble
is and after a few more trials you will
see some fun"
Bishop Milton Wright, father Of the
two aviators, together with their
brother, Reuchlin, arrived at Fort
Myer in time to see the tests. They
took seat at the aeroplane shed and
watched the proceedings with great in
terest. The bishop appeared to be very
proud of his sons and evidenced great
ators as well as that of his own boys.
He spoke of the care which they al
ways exercise in all of their expert
ments.
To-day the brothers will remove the
obstacle encountered yesterday and, IL
good weather conditions obtain, they
will make further preliminary trials.

DAILY DIET HINTS
BY DR.. T. j. ALLEN
Food Specialist
NUTS AS STAPLE DIET.

Uncooked peanuts or any nuts
are not, as many suppose, indl-
gestibIe, but they differ much In
composition from other foods,
and therefore do not readily mix;
or, what is the same, the sys-
tenn must have time to readjust
itself to the digestion of the food
to which II was for ages adapt
ed--for nuts and fruits are the
most natural food of man. Eat
Ing a few nuts at the end of a
meal is an error, causing the be-
lief that nuts In general are In
dlgestibIe. Whole wheat bread
harmonizes best with nuts. To
adopt the nut and fruit diet,
change one meal to whole wheat
bread, gradually; then add nuts
gradually, tiIl the bread Is used
only for bulk, which, In time,
may be dropped by eating the
bread at one meal only. One
meal should consist of apples or
prunes. Anyone can eat enough
at two full meals. Many have
subslsted we'll on one.
