That the campaign of John C.
Lawrence, republican, for gov
ernor received a strong boom as
one result of the republican state
convention is the opinion of re-
publican leaders in all sections
of the state. Lawrence succeed
ed in holding his strength and
made many new supporters at
Aberdeen.
During the convention week,
there was some discussion of w.
H. Paulhamus entering the race
for the governorship and an ef-
fort was made to line. up the
Poindexter following for the
Pierce county man. Judge O. C..
Moore, law partner of Senator
Poindexter, however, issued d
statement at Spokane which ell
inmates such a combination.

that half the state was drunk

as one congressman put it the

was very important; it numbered
1900 in Baltimore alone, and
Roosevelt carried Baltimore. 1t
has been customary to engage
negro voters to work for $40 on
election day to get out the vote
and the Taft people in control of
the party machinery arranged to
engage the usual force at the
customary rate. So they sent
out checks of $40 apiece only to
have them returned with the in
formation added that the work
ers had already accepted checks
OF $75 apiece from the Roosevelt
people to work for them. So
Marylanders are saying.

From the west, and from the
east also, comes the news that
there is growing mention for
Bryan as the best candidate to
nominate at Baltimore. In some
cases. it'seems as if this mention
had practically the force of a de-
mand. It comes from republi-
cans as we'll as from democrats.
1t is not for the sake of putting
up the best man for republicans
to knock down, but it is a sincere
desire to see him nominated. It
is evident that he has grip on
the popular mind which has not
yet been secured by either Clark
or Wilson or Harmon or Under
wood. There is a frank confess
sion that Bryan was right, years
ago, when he was talking about
the popular election of United
States senators, about increasing
the political power of the people
and about protecting the public
from exploitation by aggrandiz-.
ed wealth. There is this feeling
that Bryan ought to have justice
done to him and be recognized
for what he is.
But there is a stronger motive
than that on the part of many
republicans who are asking for
his nomination. They believe
that Roosevelt will be the repub-
lican nominee and that Bryan
will be the best candidate with
whom to defeat him. 1t is recall
led, not by arepublican. but by
one who heard Roosevelt in 1900,
when he was running for second
place with Mckinley, when
Bryan was making his second
run for the presidency. that
Roosevelt was especially savage
in his public denunciations of
Bryan's theories of government
as subversive of popular govern
ment. Bryan, then. was to him a
man whom it would be suicide
for the United States to trust.
Yet today it is generally admit
ted that Roosevelt has appropri-
ated about all of Bryan's leading
issues. Hence the growth Of the
feeling that the man of the hour
may be Bryan after all. Coupled
with this is the positive state
ment that Bryan does not want
the nomination and thinks that
it would be better policy for the
party to nominate someone else.
A letter from Bryan speaks of
the certainty that the Baltimore
convention will put in the demo-
cratic platform a plank for Phil
ippine independence, in which he
fully believes.
That brings out another singu-
lar fact, namely, that at one time
in Roosevelt's administration
there were a few weeks when he
was thoroughly sick of the Phil
ippines and would have been
willing to have the United States
change its policy. But Taft, who
was then Philippine commits
sioner, persuaded him to con-
tinue and hold on to the islands.
1t is now said to be a possibility
that Roosevelt will come out soon
in denunciation of Taft's colonial

If William Howard Taft's quail

World.
Those who still claim that
Roosevelt is not a progressive"
should not fail to remember that
he has adopted belief in the
"recall"-of decisions. He also
believes in the recall of ex-presi-
dents-to the job, and the recall
of present presidents from the
job.

they cost me practically nothing
But aside from the profit. the bees
afford US a great deal of entertaining
study Nothing can be more interest
ing than watching the manner in
which these busy little workers keep
their houses in order, the manner in
which the guard bees of each swarm
do sentinel duty at the entrance to
their hive, ready to give battle to
robber bees from other swarms, which
are always lurking about, ready to
steal from other hives instead of GO
ing out and foraging for honey.
Some people may ask how the bees
are fed. The answer is that we never
feed them never have found It nee.
