BRYAN AS A DARK HORSE
May Be Brought Forward IL Present
Candidates Lose Ground

Washington. May 24-The Wilson
managers announced tonight that
twenty delegates for the New Jersey
governor had been chosen from Ohio
This, II true, leaves Gov. Harmon with
not much more than q bare majority
Il is the judgment of politicians OF
beth parties here that even II these
latest claims of the Wilson people are
not fully substantiated Gov Har
mon has suffered moral defeat In his
own state. He has been twice elect
ed governor. the first time by a ma
jority of about 10000, and the second
time by the impressive majority OF
100000 BY all the rules OF the game
he should have carried the state over
whelmingly now that he is going be
fore the people as a presidential can
didate on his record. Instead, he
faces for the first time a divided
state
II is not doubted here that William
]. Bryan's invasion of the state had
a good deal to do with the result.
A number of delegates elected nom
inally for Speaker Clark were to b.
turned over to Harmon, but the fail
ure of the Ohiaon to get more thar
four delegates outside his own stat,
or to carry that state by a decisive
majority has changed this purpose
These delegates will be turned over
not to Harmon, but to Underwood
provided they can be turned over L
anybody.
fhe present outlook is that at Bal
timore the conservative candidate will
be Underwood, with Wilson as III,
radical. and Clark as the choice o
that curious tumble Of radicals ant
conservatives which has been attract
ed to his standard
None OF these candidates will hav,
a majority and political observer
here are confident deadlock will re
suit which will end in the nomination
OF dark horse. The persons mos
prominently spoken OF as dark hors,
candidates are Mr. Bryan, Mayor Gay
nor and Senator Kern OF Indiana.

What became of the first flag is not
known. But in the National Museum
at Washington is the first American
flag ever unfurled over a ship OF

ton to the tourists who visit the
home of Betsy Ross.
In fact, it causes as much regret as
would a visit to Independence Hall
If the famous Liberty Bell were miss
ing, or if the Declaration of lndepen-
dence were not to be found among
the relics in the famous "House OF
Liberty" 1t takes now only slight
imagination to picture Betsy Ross in
her high-backed chair beside the old
fashioned fireplace, welding the nee
die while making the flag dear to Am
erican men, women and children.
While the flag was not adopted by
Congress until June Ia, 1777, it prob
ably was used prior to this time. The
first recorded use was at Easton, Pa.
July 8, 1875, when the news of the
signing of the Declaration of Indepen
dence was received there.
A newspaper of that period recites
that the Colonel and other officers Of
the First Battalion repaired to the
courthouse, the light infantry com
panies marching with their drums
beating, colors flying and flies play

DEMOCRATS TO WAGE
WAR AGAINST 7. R.

New York, Aug. S.-Things began
humming at the national headquarters
of the democratic party here today,
and from now until next November
when the national election takes place
every effort will be eXerted to snow
under Colonel Roosevelt and his third
party movement. The leaders of the
party who met with Governor Wilson
yesterday at the notification of the
governor of his nomination, discussed
the progressive party in detail and
it has been decided to carry out the
original plan to direct much of the
democratic strength against the for
mer president.
Senatov-elect Ollie James of Ken
lucky says he is free to admit that
his party considers Roosevelt a strong
campaigner and that is why Colonel
Pryan and other big men are planning
to follow in T. RS wake as he trav-
els through tie various states dur
ing his campaign. The democrats be-
lieve firmly. however, that with all
the strength of the eX-president, they
have the advantage of things in the
three -cornered fight being waged this
year They are going to make the
tariff and the trusts the big issue
and says Manager McCombs, with
the means and men that we shall
have to help in the campaign, Cover
nor Wilson will surely be elected next

Government Watchful.
An absorbing question is whether
the government to which they are
bound by allegiance or oath, birth or
citizenship. is inclined to care for
them or not in the risks they take at

no dereliction upon the part of the
