Pueblo to Denver, great throngs greet
ed Wilson as the leader of the party
the champion of the principles-to de-
liver the nation from the bondage of
bossism and the corrupt political con-
troll of the unseen government.
And when Wilson spoke, no matter
where or upon what particular phase
of the political crisis facing the ma
tion, the crowded halls and auditori-
ums were as silent as classrooms.
The people hung upon every word
that Wilson uttered, and, instead of
the clamorous applause, which greets
the ordinary candidate, there was the
silence of intense interest. the vitality
of which permeated every recess of the
hall.
Wilson was affected by the intensity
of the attention that was paid him, and
strove his uttermost to drive his
points far home in the minds and
hearts of his audiences.
Royal Welcome in Denver.
In Denver, when Wilson arrived, he
was greeted with unsurpassed enthu-
siasm by thousands of people, who
gathered at the depot and lined the
streets through which the magnificent
parade passed.
At the auditorium fifteen thousand
persons had gathered long before the
hour appointed for Wilson's speech,
all showing that spontaneity of enthu-
siasm which was born of the knowl-
edge OF great man, great because
of his principles, was about to lay be-
fore them the issues of the nation.
He dwelt upon the policy of con-
servation. which has been enforced by
the federal government. condemning it
but excusing it because of the tremen-
dous influence which the interests of
the nation have upon the government,
which cause 1t to fear relaxing its vigi-
lance for an instant lest the predatory
powers and monopolies take for them
selves the great forests, mineral and
water resources of the nation.

all bids which had been filed on the
timbered lands in the southeastern
par tof the Choctaw country. These
lands had been of cred in tracts rang
ing in value from $4,000 to more than
100000. The receiving of bids was
close don May first. Congressman
Carter, Senator Gore an dother mem

protested against the sale of these
lands in such large tracts, on the
ground that it would exclude the small

TOO LATE BABY
CASE IS Of GREAT
IMPORTANCE

Washington, d. G.. May 20.-1That the
too late" Cherokee baby case, which
has just been decided by the United
States supreme court in the case of
Gritts versus the Secretary of the In
terror an dthe Secretary of the Treas
ury to enjoin them from alloting any o.
the lands or distributing any of the
Cherokee funds to the minors, is of
far greater Importance than is ofli-
narily supposed, is the statement made
today by Cherokee National Attorney
w. w. Hastings of Tahlequah.
"The baby case is of great import
ance," said Mr.. Hastings, as it up
holds the authority of congress TO ex-
tend the date as of which the final
rolls of the Five Civilized Tribes were
made for allotment purposes. BY agree
ments, different dates in 1901 and 1902
were fixed wit hthe different tribes at
whic hthe final rolls should be made
but congress by the act of March 8,
1905, extended the date, except in ne
Cherokee nation, to March 4, 1906.
Section two of the act of April %,
1906, further extended the date for the
Chotcaws, Chickasaws, Creeks and
Cherokees to March i, 1906, as this
was the date previously fixed by con
gress for the expiration If the tribal
governments.
81 nthe Greek nation there were 5,ol9
minor children born after September
/, 1902. the date first f'xed lor closing
the rolls. and March March t. 9h6, the
date fixed ythe act Of April =, 1906.
A few dissatisfied Cherokees brought
suit claiming that those babies enrolled

| had vested rights in the unallotted
LANDS of the Cherokee nation. No suit
I otest similar conditions in the Choc-
taw. Creek and Chjckasaw nations
were ever brought, but the Gritts de

Washington, May Should it be
found afte rtwo or three ballots that
Governor Wilson will not be able to
land the Democratic nomination for
President, hi sentire strength will be
thrown to w. j. Bryan" This state
ment came directly fro mthe Wilson
headquarters today. 1t is another eyi-
dence that Bryan is in reality candi-
date for the nomination and that he
expects to start the Wilson delegation
his wa ywhen the proper time comes
If it comes to a point when 1t is
very apparent that Wilson cannot
land and his delegates are given to
the Nebraskan, it will be very ser
ious thing for the Clark boom. Every
body recognizes the fact that Clark
will not be able to hold considerable
numbe rof his delegates with Bryan
before the convention. 1t is doubtful
that he can hold his entire Missouri
strength for there are men from Mis-
souri, who have been Bryan devotees
for years, an dthe leash must be mighty
stron gto keep them away from the
Bryan stampede.
Outside of the Wilson delegates
Bryan is apt to draw from nearly every
stat elm the convention unless the unit
rule is adhered to. The surprise to
everyone is the amount Of Bryan talk
that keeps floatin ginto Washington.
1t comes from all sections Of the coun-
try. This does not mean that other
candidates delegates are deserting the
man for whom they are instructed, but
lit shows that the Bryan sentiment is
much stronger than that for any other
lsingle candidate.
