Mrs. Nick Reed of Ottumwa became
more and more thoroughly convinced
that she is not candidate for sur
frage honors on Tuesday when raj
setto voiced delegate from one OF the

When the convention opened Repre-
sentative Pepper was seated on the
platform in Judge Wade's seat. Just
before it began the young Iowa rep.
resentative was presented to Cardinal
Gibbons by some Baltimore friends.
The cardinal in his invocation asked
for harmony. When he finished there
was slight lull, then Chairman Mack
presented Judge Parker's name and
before he had ended the last syllable
Bryan was on the rostrum attacking
Parker. The venerable prelate stole

tunity.

What promised to result in a bitter
fight in the Iowa delegation. was
ended really in harmony. The delega-
ton was evenly split between Bryan
and Parker, thirteen for each. No poll
was asked and after the roll call the
boys shook hands all around and de-
cided to support Judge Wade TOR the
permanent craftsmanship with all their
might. When the convention recessed
until o'clock they went out and
worked for Wade votes.
To Henry Vollmer of Davenport fell
the duty of putting Wade across.
Vollmer was elected member OF the
committee on permanent organization
and he started in industriously for the
national committeeman. At first he
had tough task Of it in view OF the
division over the temporary chair
manship. However, when 1t became
generally known that Clark wanted
all of his delegates to vote just as they
wished Judge Wade's chances imme-
diately frightened.

elder brother went to town to pur-
chase pair of shoes for me. He
purchased the shoes alright but on
arriving home we discovered that
the shoes were too large. Now
there was dance coming off out in
the country, one of those barn dances
and it was to be held that evening,
so consequently there was no time
for my brother to go back and ex-
change the shoes for smaller pair.

A Pull Or A Push.

Don't stand around waiting for some one
To give you a pull into some higher place.
But start out yourself for the job that GU want,
And never your footsteps retrace.

himself
Just waiting to be lifted up high.
Seldom gets what he wants and is forced
To look on, while others more active pass by.
If you only forget that you want topul1 strings,
And go to the job with WILL
You're more apt to win than when you get dull
And have to be pulled up the hill.
A pull may be good but you can't always tell
Just when it will drop in the fight;
If you really intend to go to it with zest.
Why. push and keep pushing with might
