convenes on Jan. 7, will face a
mass of important work. The per-

store the death penalty, abolished
in Minnesota two years ago.

come up are as follows:

sale of worthless stocks.

levy of the 1-mill tax authorized
by a newly adopted amendment to
the constitution, proposed horse
power tax on automobiles and pay
ment of all road taxes in cash.

lie domain, to embrace several pres
ent bureaus and departments.

Now that the slack season is on
in the farming communities of the
southern end of this great and
glorious Minnesota, every defeated
granger candidate for the legislature
is anxious to write political dope
for the papers at so much per dope.
The larger part of those fellows are
incapable of intelligently thinking
of anything not encompassed in
their immediate vision let alone
writing of things concerning the
whole state and not Pumpkin Hol-
low township in particular. We
would in all honesty advise these
would-be journalists to stick to the
manure spreader and not jump into
the journalistic arena as the train
ing on the aforementioned vehicle
is not quite complete enough to
enable them to successfully handle
the stuff demanded of the ordinary
country newspaper publisher.
There is more money for you in

makes Minnesota famous as the
bread and butter state than in try

MIGHTY OLLIE
Kentucky Senator-elect Loses Voice
Shouting for Order, and Now
Can Only Talk in Whisper.
BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT.

Baltimore, July I-Isn't It awful to
like to talk. and not to be able to?
That's the predicament in which Ollie
James, the mastodonic Senator-eIect
from Kentucky. and chairman OF the
Democratic National Convention in this
city, finds himself.
The gentleman from Kentucky likes
to be heard, and for the first few days
Of the convention was heard regularly.
Now he can't be heard twelve feet away.
His voice has almost entirely gone back
on him, and 1t is only with the greatest
effort that he is able TO make announce
ments from the chair. When rendering
a grave decision on some moot Ques-
ton before the convention, he goes all
the way up the scale and back again.
and then breaks in the middle.
Cough drops, lOzenges guaranteed to
render relief and especially valuable TO
public speakers" have been tried in
vain. Frequent glasses OF water have
afforded him no relief.
Most Of the announcements from the
chair have to be made secondhand,
through the sergeant-at-arms or reading
clerk. The only thing the chairman can
do to make a noise is to wallop his desk
with his gavel, and he does it with all
the wallop in his mighty frame. Sever
al gavels Eave already gone to the bone
yard, and there's no telling how many
will be splintered before this convention
is over.

CLARK HENCHMEN
RENEW PLEDGES
Declare at Mass Meeting that All
Speakers Supporters Will
Stick to the End.

Convention Hail, Baltimore, Nd, July
Champ Clark leaders held a conference
to-day previous to the opening Of the
convention. This was followed by a pub
lie meeting at which 200 delegates crowd
ed into a hall near the Emerson Hotel
and listened to speeches by the Clark
men. The sense Of both meetings was ex-
pressed by former Senator Dubois, when
he said:
The Clark men will stick to this fight
until he is nominated. We cannot lose"
Among those who took part in the con-
ference were George Fred Williams, of
Massachusetts,; ex-Gov. David r. Fran
els, Of Missouri; ex-senator Dubois of
Idaho: Gov. McCorkle. OF West Virginia
Senator William J. Stone, of Missouri,
and eX-Goy. A. NJ. Dockery, of Missouri.
Following the conference, George Fred
Williams issued a def TO Bryan in a
speech to the delegates.
Following the mass meetings the dele
gates went to the convention hall in a
body.
No man knows better than William
Jennings Bryan" said Williams, that
the Democratic party has reached the
progressive point, and that at last we
were promised a convention Of progress
iveness. 1t is now turned into turmoil,
and by a man who owes Democracy more
than any one man in the world. Democ-
racy took him out Of obscurity and placed
aim on high and in affiuence.
TT is his purpose that no man shall be
elected on the Democratic ticket unless
he first kneel to William Jennings Bryan
and bow TO his dictations.'

Bryan and Gov. Foss Of Massachusetts
held a conference in the Bryan head
quarters at the Belvedere Hotel this
morning. Delegates afterward declared
that Bryan intends TO switch 10 Foss

Wilson could not be nominated.
A report gained circulation about the
convention hall and the hotels that FOss
Rad ordered himself as a compromise
candidate.
Gov. Foss explained, after leaving the
colonel that he had called to pay his
respects TO Mrs. Bryan and seemed sur
rrised that the nature OF his conference
v it'll the colonel had become a subject of
interest.
Mrs. Bryan and Mrs FOss met some
time ago." said the Governor, and I
desired to see Mrs. Bryan and pay our
respects to her. Ny visit was purely
social"
u have nothing to say" said Col.
Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan refused to-day to accept sup
port from S. H. Hines, delegate from the
District Of Columbia. At the time, though,
Mr.. Bryan gave no indication of whether
he later intends to become candidate.
Il do not want you to support me"
said Mr.. Bryan, when Hines appeared
and declared himself ready to cast his
vote for the Nebraskan.

Lea, Senator from Tennessee, visited

Of the District OF Columbia delegates.
Mr.. Colpoys was asked to get him

thought the Postmaster General desired
admittance- He so informed Chairman
James, who directed the Postmaster Gen.

a sure triumph for Democrats.
He hOists the standard Of hatred and
revenge over what should be a marching
army Of brothers. He plays directly into
the hands Of the enemy and invites de-
feat.
If the convention accepts such a lead
ership, II will abdicate the principles and
rights OF true Democracy and put asun-
der all which Democrats hold glorious and
great. TO the selfish rule Of the one man
