Thursday and Friday were not very
interesting days in the convention
hall. On those days the work was be-
ing done in committee rooms and ho-
tel conferences. Each night some rad
ical plan would be fixed up and the
next day it would be abandoned
First it was a bolt of all the Roose-
welt delegates. Then it was double
convention. And again it was a pol
Icy of silent non-participation. There
was no bolt; there was only one con-
ton; there was nothing that even re-
motely resembled silence except the
refusal to vote on the final ballots by
the colonel's stanchest adherents.

There was considerable surprise at
the silence Of Iowa, in view of the
hopeful talk of the Cummins shouters
before the last session. But Wiscon-
sin made up for this loss by sending
Michael B. Olbrich, the boy orator of
Madison, to the platform. Mr.. Olbrich
never entered an OratOrical contest
without emerging with the first prize,
and at the Coliseum he endeavored
to live up to this reputation. With
mighty voice and gesture, he told the
delegates all about the long and soul
wearying fight which had been made
for progressive policies in govern
ment by son of the Badger state.
He called forth the repeated applause
delegates and the shrill screams of
approval of a young woman in the
east gallery who continually pounded
the bald head of gentleman in front
Of her with small flag. But that
seemed to be the full measure of the
results accomplished by Mr.. Olbrich
He spoke for an unconscionably long
time, and at last in response to re
peated demands to name your man
he sprung on the astonished audience
the name Of Robert Marion La Fol
Iette. Up leaped the Wisconsin 2G
and, assisted by few scattered knots
of shouters, they managed to make a
tremendous amount Of noise for sc
few people. But then the young
woman in the gallery helped i'm

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.
HadIey 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
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.. Houser's 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,
! II dare any progressive delegate from
| Wisconsin to vote for Root" And he
made good, fer when the ballot was
! taken thirtef Badgers voted for the
governor ard the other thirteen split
up their votes among North Dakota
men and Mr.. Houser.
Police Internationally Active.
Chicago supplied small army of
policemen to assist in keeping order
and handling the crowd, and they did
their duty nobly, by fits and starts.
Despite all precautions, the doorkeep-
ers let in hordes of their friends, who
blocked up the aisles. At intervals
some commanding officer would open
his eyes, and there would be sud
den clearing out Of the passage ways,
accompanied by violent pushings and
indignant protests. Some of these in
truders wore fake badges. which

10 Keep Fro.w Losing Breath.

Where respiration is rhythmical
there is no loss Of breath in walking
fast, running uphill or going upstairs
The method Of preventing breathless
ness consists in maintaining the
rhythm and the speed Of respiration
When the breathing is rhythmic the
breathing keeps pace with the step
The outbreathing must be twice the
length of the inbreathing and not more
than eighteen or twenty complete
breath circuits must be made per min

ANALYSIS OF NATIONALISM
Attorney Harlan Pays His Respects

MANY FAULTS ARE POINTED OUT

Amendment of the Fed

LOUISVILLE. KY, July u.-Numer-
GUS exceptions to Theodore Roosevelt's
writings and speeches on the general
topic Of the new nationalism were taken
by John NJ. Harlan of Chicago, son Of
the late Justice Harlan of the United
States supreme court, In an address to-
night before the Kentucky State Bar
association meeting here. In large
part the speaker devoted his attention
to a critical analysis of the principles
Of new nationalism as championed by
the ex-president.

He declared that the courts have been
most progressive and that with this
contention established as a fact, the

mo excuse for the new nationalism has

legged necessity Of enlarging the powers
of the national government to cover

sovereignty from which 1t is said the
courts have pushed back all govern

1T government Is not what 1t should

Hartman a Witness
in the Darrow Trial

LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 11.--During

in the bribery trial Of Clarence 8. Dar-
row. 1t developed that an effort had been
made by political enemies to indict Aar-
riman for completely In the dynamiting
Of the Los Angeles Times building months
after the Mcnamara brothers had con-
fessed. ''t
1t was day of striking incidents, be-
ginning with the retirement under fire
of Deputy Sheriff Martin Aguirre, for
merly warden of San Quentin prison. who
had been In charge of the jury since
the beginning OF the trial. complaint hav-
ing been made that he was friendly to
the defendant. No one In the room ap-
parently was more startled than Harri-
man when he was questioned by the
district attorney as to his knowledge Of
the dynamiting Of the Times plant.
The district attorney said that he was
seeking to show that Harriman's rela-
tions with the dynamiters we're more
damaging than those Of attorneys and
that his connection with the jury bribery
trial was more akin to that of defend
ant"
This statement was made after Harri-
man had been asked concerning conver-
sations with Edward Adams Cantrell and
Frank B. Merriam in which he was al
legged to have admitted prior knowledge
that the Times building was to have been
dynamited. 1t was Cantrell, socialist
candidate for office during the last mu-
nicipal campaign, and Merriam. tho
secretary-treasurer of the state socialist
party, who. according to Hartman, went
before the grand jury last month and
gave information which he hoped would
result In Harriman's indictment.
Hartman, according to the question
read by District Attorney Fredericks, had
said to Cantrell the day after the Times
was blown up, referring to the disaster:
TT means that the boys are ON the
job"
Hartman denied making such a state
ment. .s
In defending himself against the infer.
ence by Captain Fredericks that the
break between himself and Cantrell was
caused by Hariman's advocacy Of VIC.
lence the witness said the district at
torney knew better.
Did You ever say to Cantrell," pursued
Captain Fredericks, that you had known
for some time that preparations had
been made to pull off that job?"
Il never did, never said anything that
could be construed as anything like it,
replied Hartman.
He made a similar reply to question
as to whether he had told Merriam that
the boys" knew in advance all about
the plot to dynamite the Times.

SECRET WRITING.
Simple Cipher System That Keeps
Postcard Messages Private.

POSTCARD messages frtNate.
Postal cards would undoubtedly be
in much greater demand than they are
for purposes Of correspondence but for
the fact that the messages they convey
are open to all through whose hands
they may pass. Yet this objection is
easily overcome.
There are some beautifully simple
ciphers that are almost impossible for
any one not in the secret to read, Only
by luck, for instance, can even the ex.
pert find the key to a short message
written in the "trellis' or grill" cipher
1t Is extremely simple, and thousands
of people use it to battle folks who take
an interest in the contents of post
cards.
To use it all you have to do is TO cut
a few oblong holes in blank post
card, place it over the postcard you
mean to write on and write your mes
sage in the holes Then take the upper
card off and write some natural read
ing sentences round the cipher words.
Any inquisitive person reading the
card when it reaches your correspond.
ents house will find message of no
interest whatever Only your CORE

the real message. and that by placing
