gavel the announcement that the show
was about to begin. The Omaha man
looked pitifully small and weak, and
could not make himself heard ten feet
away from the platform. For fifteen
minutes confusion reigned, and the
chairman was unable to quell It, A
little later, when the Roosevelt adher-
ents were making their first fight by
seeking to substitute their own tenn
porary roll for that prepared by the
national committee, Mr.. Rosewater
piped feebly until some one shouted,
Speak up, little boy" Then he sue
cumbed to the roar OF laughter and let
clerk read his rulings.
1t was no easy job keeping the great
crowd in order, for while the dele
gates themselves were mostly grim
and tense, apparently imbued with the
idea that they were making history"
there were numerous skillfully placed
claques in the galleries which inter
rupted the speakers at frequent inter
walls.
Hadley Commands Respect.
One man there was who was not
subject to ribald Interruptions and
jeers. That was Governor Hadley of
Missouri, the Roosevelt field captain.
Whenever he arose he was accorded
respectful attention and often hearty
applause, for even his political enc
mics couldn't think up weak spots in
his record with which to taunt him.
Bill" Finn, another Roosevelt
fighter, was not so fortunate, but he
seemed to like the storm that ragged
about him and did not give an inch
until squelched by the gavel Senator
Bradley of Kentucky, too, came in for
a share Of "boos" and Kisses and was
stirred to rage by many illusions to
the fact that he had voted in favor OF
Lorimer.
"Heinie" Cochems In Action.
The little furry in the Wisconsin
delegation, caused by Mr. Housers as
sertion that the delegation would not
support Governor McGovern for tenn
porary chairman, gave "Heinie" Coch-
ems a chance to show some of the
spirit which used to take him through
an opposing football eleven Coch-
ems had placed McGovern in nomi-
nation, and all had gone swimmingly
until Houser got up and protested that
La Toilette would not enter into any
combination with any other candidate,
and therefore the Wisconsin dele
gates should not support the Badger
governor, who was the choice Of the
Roosevelt forces.
Up jumped "Heinie" and. being
given two minutes, explained that the
Wisconsin delegation in caucus had
split on the question, but that he, as
an individual La Toilette delegate, had
presented McGovern's name. But"
shouted Cochems, squaring his jaw,
Il dare any progressive delegate from
Wisconsin to vote for Root" And he
made good, for when the ballot was
taken thirteen Badgers voted for the
governor and the other thirteen split
up their votes among North Dakota
men and Mr. Houser
HowIs for Heney.
For stirring up tempest, Francis
]. Heney was uneQualled by any other
man in the convention. He fought
hard against the seating of the two
Taft delegates from the Fourth dis
trict of California, and was howled at
by the Taftite galleries. He bobbed
up on various other occasions, notably
in a long speech seconding the NOM
nation Of McGovern, and was howled

DESPOTIC POWER

The Bull Moose platforms pet
doctrine and Perkins and Roose-
velt's principal aim in politics, is
to centralize despotic power in the
hands of few regulators ruled
over by the President of the United
States in tyrannical manner never
before known in human history.
The Democratic candidate for
Vice President, Thomas r. Mar
shall, of Indiana, says of the con-
tinuance of monopoly under the
tyranny of the regulators who
would supersede the Constitution
of the United States which guar
antees personal liberty; eff this
continues, there will be great cap
tains of finance and industry who
will wade through slaughter to a
throne and shut the gates of mercy
on mankind. They will take the
young man of today and crush out
every little bit of personal ambi.
ton which these young men may
have and make of them only cogs
in a great industrial system, and
our boosted Democracy where men
are free will cease to exist save in
name"

SMALL CROWD AT
REPUBLICAN RALLY

A Republican rally was adver-
tised to be held at the Opera house
Tuesday evening. Without ques-
ton it WAS one of the coolest polit-
ical attempts ever witnessed in
Monte Vista.
Sigel Heilman presided and in
introducing a speaker he said:
Judging from the crowd, there
/ are not many Republicans in
Monte Vista"
John l. Palmer, of Saguache,
who believes that he is running for
Prosecuting Attorney, was the first
speaker. He said that he was a
miniature edition of Theodore
Roosevelt" the only difference he
could see being that he "had not
been shot or even half shot" He
admitted having sought the office
as means of increasing his earn
ing power.
Mr.. Ballreich, of Pueblo, took
up the main part of the evening in
discussion of the tariff. He is a
splendid speaker and was highly
entertaining when devoting his re-
marks to the amendments and in
itiated and referred bills. With
all his oratory and power of ex-
preston he could not arouse any
enthusiasm for the Republican
party.
On national issues the speaker
repeated much of the address made
by Clyde Dawson two weeks ago.
He urged the Bull Moosers to re-
turn to the G. o. P. as both parties
stood for protection-"the great
issue before the country" He
predicted a Cleveland panic in case
of Wilson's election. He said the
tariff had nothing to do with the
high cost of living. He held aloft
the scarecrow Of the shutting down
of our sugar factories and our
mines if the tariff on sugar, lead
and zinc were reduced; that free
sugar would not lower the price to
the consumer, but free lead would
put the smelters out of business.

WILSON HICHMlNDED

Woodrow Wilson has done one
good thing for national politics.
he has shown that it is possible
to make a highly successful cam
paign without convincing or trying
to convince the public that all
other candidates ought to be in
Jail.
He has reasoned his way through
the campaign, with no bludgeon
or high binder methods.
He has admitted that his oppo-
nents might conceivably be res.
pectable human beings, although
opposed to him, and he has relied
on ideas and convictions for his
success.
Yes, indeed. How nice il would
be if men could run for the White
House as decently and respectfully
as though engaged in some quite
reputable enterprise.
Mr.. Wilson has set a good OK.
