of holdovers and men out of touch with the Republican party, as it exists at this moment.
 That Roosevelt was deprived of a nomination by machinery and frau0 is one thing. That the will of the vast number of Republicans was so set aside is another and more signi- ficant thing. Ia
 Roosevelt's new party means the destruction of the Republican party. The Republican progressives will '1e- stroy it except only it shall at some time be wrested from the possession of the Republican reactionaries. Then, though its name may be retained, it will have perished for what it is. It will be a new party, with new hopes, ideals and aspirations.
 The Democratic party at this junc- ture is confronted with an opportun- ity. It has the opportunity to nomi- nate a progressive for president.
 It has the opportunity to make a progressive platform for its candidate to stand upon.
 Given these two conditions and nothing will prevent the Democratic party coming into national power.

or BEGINNING.
 OF NAPOLEON'S DOWNFALL:

Just century ago today, on June P. 1872, Napoleon made his great mis- take. He declared war upon Russia. At the head of his grand army of 610,O00 men, with 1S2,Oo0 horses, and with 1900 pieces of artillery and a wagons numbering after, with ban ners flying and bands playing, the Emperor of the French set out to beard the Russian bear in his north ern lair. Russia is swept downward by her destinies; her fate must be fulfilled" So declared Napoleon in the conclusion of his declaration of war; The Man of Destiny was miss taken He it was who was to be .'swept downward by his destinies,' '' swept to that bloody field. of Water loo where, on June three years later. he was to meet Wellington and ,de- feat. Today is the centennial of the beginning of the end for Napoleon, and the ninety-seventh anniversary of the end, for it was on June P, 1915, that he finally abdicated.
 Never before had a project of in- vasion been, planned on so gigantic a scale as set in motion 100 years ago today, unless one accepts for truth the the ancient Persians, who were much given to exaggeratiOn. The army of Napoleon, many of them seasoned veterans, seemed invincible. French men, Italians, Poles, Germans, Prus- sians. Austrians and Swiss were in cluded in the great array of troops that. swept across Europe to meet the 215, 1000 Russians that the tCzar was able to put in the field.

BEDDING TOLD OF HIS
 FATE BY FIANcEE
Young Nurse Informs Him COmmu-
 tatiOn of Death Sentence . ..sis4 Is Denied.

New Haven, June 22-The news that the board of pardons has refused to take action in his case and that he will have to hang on November 1 for the murder of Morris Greenberg was broken to George Bedding, Jr.. by Leora Hudson, the nurse to whom Redding was engaged to be married at the time of the shooting. When the action of the board of pardons in Redding's case last Saturday vas an- nounced Mrs. Hudson determined to break the news to Bedding and vis- ited the Wetnersfield prison Sunday, when she told the young man sen- fenced to hang that. there would be no communication in his case.
 Bedding showed but little emotion and said. calmly, that he was ready. He now seems resigned to his fate. according to friends who have visited him. During the last month he has changed decidedly and at certain in- tervals is subject to. nervous spells. Aside from this fact he eats heartily and sleeps well. He has adopted Christian Science and has read every volume on.s that religion at the jail. He spends much of his time at pres ef1t in writing short epigrams and preparing, after much deliberation, letters to his friends. @s Guards at the Wethersheld jail. state that Bedding is one of the most unusual and inter- esting prisoners seem there in many years.
