Exhibit A. Woodrow Wilson. Why should

For time there was hope that Mr..
Bailey would appear at Baltimore ana
tackle Mr.. Bryan. They differ radically
about certain questions, and as they are
able and aggressive men, a duel between
them would have been one of the features
OF the convention. But Texas took an
other line and sighted her gifted senator.
His name is not on her list of delegates
Must the task devolve upon Mr.. Wat

Dreams.

He dreamt Of castles in the air
That rose with stately grace.
Where gallant men and women fair
Were CARRIED in silks and lace
He dreamt, of homage claimed by fear.
He saw himself supreme.
The humbled hordes with gifts drew near
And ii was but a dream.
Again he dreamt-of house enough
To shelter love and toll;
OF friends who helped Ger journeys rough
And of a generous soil
Where industry might find its share
OF good when work was through,
And song and laughter filled the air
And then his dreams came true.

Hullabaloo at Chicago.

Senator Dixon is more entertaining than
convincing on the subject OF tickets 10
the Chicago convention, and Col. New
is wise in his decision not to protract
the controversy. Surely hullabaloo in the
convention hall is not the hope of the
Taft people 1t does not nit the character
of their chief. and ii could not be en-
ployed successfully in his behalf. The
Presidents case rests upon the record.
and the record does not contain a single
sensa tional feature. Sensationalism. there
fore is not and cannot be made, a Taft
weapon.
The boot is on the other leg. Mr..
Roosevelt is the King of HULA baloo. He
was born to the purple. His character is
in the key of noise and notice. He is the
best advertiser the politics of America
has ever known. Stories of his exploits
at school were as carefully circulated as
have been those of the performances of
his mature years. Every step of his way.
from the time he put on the gloves in
the boxing bouts at Harvard. down

observance of the day by organizing In
