UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE
Chicago, June 20-The demand for
a third candidate and the elimination
Of both Taft and Roosevelt from con-
slderaton by the Republican nation
al convention, starting early today,
grew by leaps and bounds.
Obligation to the party was de-
clared by hundreds of the delegates to
be the paramount issue, instead Of
loyalty to any individual. And these
delegates were bringing every ounce
Of pressure possible to bear to have
their wish considered. They were
openly demanding of the Taft and
Roosevelt managers that they would
release their men, and let the con-
yention name candidate on whom all
could unite.
All Are Weakening.
The leaders are trying to stand
pat But there were evidences of
weakness in certain quarters that
lead the political experts to believe
that within a few hours the situation
will have cleared. One of the half
dozen most prominent leaders Of the
Roosevelt faction went to a Taft rep
Tesentative, who is in position to
speak, and asked whether, II they
could pull the forces off the Roosevelt
band wagon the Taft men could
do the same He was told that on the
face Of the situation, as It now exists,
this was impossible. The refusal was
not definite, however, and the Roose-
yelt leader was asked to be prepared
to renew II later today.
II was not contended that this lead
er spoke for Roosevelt, but he did rep
resent the bulk Of the Roosevelt men,
who want party success to be para
mount, and individual ambition elm
mated.
Talk Of Compromise.
Congressman Payne, co-suthor Of
the tariff BILL and one of the Taft
leaders in the New York delegation,
admitted that he had heard the com
promise talk.

Whether it be regarded as Provi-

of the buggy just as the animal went
down, was unhurt,
The name of the man, who was
white, was not learned, but the horse
and buggy are said to have belonged
to q market man.
According to eye-wftnesses to the
accident, the sewer gang had been
working on the sewer in that neigh
borhood, and the man hole had been
left open, while the cover to the open
ing had been placed Just back of the
man hole so that 1t looked as though
it were In its usual place, which pre-
vented the driver from noticing that
Il had been removed.
It happened that only one Of the
hind legs Of the horse went through
the man hole. which. It is thought
accounts for the animal. and possibly
the man, not being either killed OF
seriously wounded.

And oft bend above It
With silent tear and prayer.

Worn and yellow with age,
And tears quickly gather

To keep our memory bright.
And one from my dear old mother.

Is stamped on heart and brain2

Just thirty years tonight.
Oh, me! Here's a knot of ribbon
And a lock of golden hair.

My baby sweet and fair.
But the mate to that knot of ribbon
Lies on my baby's breast.
For far in Gods acre,
All, me! but God knew best.

Leaving a lingering trace of light
On valley, hill and town.
Not all the gold In the mountains,
Nor yet the pearls of the sea.
