There are two questions to be an.

southern delegations and, with mi.
nority Of the delegates from the
north, nominate himself.

ton? And will he risk what Mr..

president would announce in advance
that he would abide by the decision of
the convention he would not have
much chance to secure. a nomination
The second question Is: What will
MIR. Roosevelt do II his contesting del.

majority OF the delegates from the
north. repair to another hall. seatfhis

and then proceed TO nominate him.

THE VANISHED YEAR

Once again a year has vanished,
To the realm of bygones banished,
Where the past years sleep in glory
Not forgotten-gone before
And the New Year comes to greet us,
On the wings of Time to meet US,
And to tell the old, old story
OF the years that are no more.
In the wings of Time swift flying,
Lies the Old Year, signing, dying,
Borne to join the host that slumbers
On that distant unknown shore
Borne to join the countless legion,
That have crossed that mystic region.
And are counted with the numbers
In that land of Nevermore
Once again the bells are ringing,
Tidings of the New Year bringing,
With the blythe and gladstone clangor
OF the bells that rang of yore.
And their glad and tuneful pealing.
Brighter, fairer skies revealing
Bids US Danish sorrow, anger,
Think Of gladness yet In store.
Let us greet the New Year gladly
Though we miss the old one sadly
Let us hope for bright skies DER us,
Let our dreams be ever fair
Let us Danish care and sorrow,
Hope for gladness on the morrow
Let us build for days before us
Brighter castles in the air.
