if they did not violate the first COM
mandrent Of the newspaper dialogue
tell the l.eNS in the first sentence.
I should not Like to compute how many
columns wrote for the waste basket
before l discovered this simple rule of
! jour.Ia ism, or how many I have blue
penciled or rewritten for other begin
ners since I have attained to the dig
nifty of desk work" If the public
had better realization of the hard
drill on such points that must precede
all success in newspaper work there
would be q less general impression
that any man who has failed in other
lines can be an editor impromptu.
Briefly stated, the chief rules for
an ordinary news article are these:
Tell the whole story in your first SEN
tence, or at least in your first para
graph, and the briefer the paragraph
the better. Be sure to give in your
opening lines the time, place and chief
actors concerned, along with the scope
and nature of the event chronicled.
Avoid exclamations, fine writing,
flaming adjectives or editorial COM
ment. If it is piece of news in
which timeliness is an important ele-
ment, get it to your paper as quickly
as your lucky stars will let you. Tell
your story in the fewest words posi-
Bile without omitting essential details.
If you can not shake off the hallucina-
tion that an Introduction is needed,
put it at the end, where the editor can
cut it off.
There are a hundred other details,
such as writing on but one side of the
paper, leaving margins on the sheets,
never rolling the copy, writing plainly,
putting the name and address at the
top Of the manuscript, and the like,
which are generally known. But
without the knowledge that news
article is not written like an grafton,
all these are comparatively useless.
The tendency to preach, which news
paper men call "editorializing," also
causes many an otherwise news item
from outside contributors to go upon
the floor. 1t would be as great an ad-
vantage to the press as to the clergy
and the laymen if the chief rules for
writing a newspaper article were
more accurately and widely under
stood.-Christian Advocate.

field who will make a suitable candl-
date I said to him: why not name
Roose7elt?' He told me he understood
there was q movement on among the
Platt Republicans of New York TO
nominate Roosevelt in order to shave
him and get him out of New York, but
he said he understood that Mr.. Roose-
welt VIC Id not accept the nomination.
He did not express any objection to
Roosevelt as the vice presidential
nominee.
AFTER some conversation he author
lied me to call on Mr.. Roosevelt, put
the situation up to him, and to assure
him he could have the vice preslden-
tial nomination if he wanted it.
"I called on Mr.. Roosevelt at his
hotel. I found him in his room, with
his coat and vest off, his collar ot1'
and with his face flushed. He seemed
to be greatly excited.
"When I told him the situation he
damurred on the ground that he un-
derstood that neither Mckinley nor
Hanna wanted him. I assured him
that he was mistaken. Then he SAID
to me, biting his words as he uttered
them, 1t seems singular that the men
who can make me governor OF New
York want me to be vice president,
and those who can make me vice
president want me to be governor OF

ly consented to do so. We went to
Hanna's room together. Mr.. Hanna
had a calcareous growth on his knee.
He was sitting with bandaged foot
and leg extended on an adjoining
chair. He and Mr.. Roosevelt greeted
each other, and after some prelimi-
nary conversation Mr.. Hanna said:
Mr.. Roosevelt, if you want this nomi-
nation all you will have to do is to
say so,' and Mr.. Roosevelt finally said
that he would not refuse the nomina-
ton if it we're given him.
eve left Mr.. Hanna's room and in
order to forestall the possibility of
Mr.. Roosevelt's changing his mind l

Mr.. Roosevelt had consented to accept
the nomination.

Mr.. Dolli7er laughed when he told
the story, but there was in his voice
a note of regret over the fact that he
had not accepted that momentous
nomination.

REFUSED VICE PRESIDENCY.
Mark Hanna Wanted Mr.. DOlliVer,
Then Representative, to Take
Second Place on Ticket

MINI eapolis, Mimi, Oct. 27.-George
F. Authier, political editor Of The Tri-
bune, asserts that the late Senator
Jonathan P. Dolhver, prior to his
death, told him confdentially, with
permission - publish it latet the fol-
lowing story of how the senator, then
representative in congress, refused
the nomination for the vice presidency
in 1900, which, if it had been accept
ed, would have made him president
instead of Roosevelt and would have
changed the political history Of the
country. He also asserts that Sena-
tor Delivers wife, who was niece
of D. K. Pearson, the Chicago multi
millionaire, was possibly responsible
for his refusal to accept this nomina-
ton.
The story as told by the senator, ac-
cording to this editors statement,
gives a new coloring to the reports as
to how the nomination Of Roosevelt
was effected. The late Senator Dolli-
yer is quoted as folloNs:
"Some months before the conven-
ton that nominated Mckinley the Sec
ond time Mark Hanna, who was man
aging Mr.. McKinley's campaign, met
me in Chicago and told me some Of
the difficulties he was experiencing in
securing a running mate for McKin-
LEY. T wish he said to me, that you
would accept this nomination. He
told me they wanted man who could
go on the stump and hold some such
position in the Republican party as
Bryan occupied in the Democratic or
ganization.
IT told Mr.. Hanna that I expected
and hoped to be elected United States
senator from Iowa, that regarded the
vice presidency as a shelving place,
and that 7 was not candidate for a
political sarcophagus. Then he asked
me if I would permit the use of my
name, promising that at the proper
time it would be withdrawn. He told
me there were several undesirable
candidates in the field, among them
Timothy Woodruff, of New York, and
others. Woodruff he explained, is
impossible because he has a hundred
and fifty fancy vests Still another
one was ruled out on the ground that
he is back on his alimony.' He ex-
planned that the use Of my name would
keep down this list of undesirable
candidates, and I agreed with him that
the mention of my name in connection
with so distinguished an Office could
do me no harm and might be Of value
to me.
"When went down to Philadelphia
shortly before the convention I dis
covered that my candidacy had as
sumed serious proportions. My COL
leagues in the house had taken hold
Of the matter and my nomination was
assured unless Mr. Hanna kept his
promise. I went to him and told him
that it was time for him to redeem his
pledge.
"His reply was: 'Dolliver, we are up
against it. There is no man in the
