SAID last Thursday:
"The history of Theodore Roo
sevelt in connection with Repub-
lican National conventions forms
a most interesting chapter in his
public career.
This history began in 1884,
when Mr.. Roosevelt opposed
James G. Blaine for the presi-
dency. He and his forty asso-
ciates in the convention support
ed Senator George F. Edmunds,
and voted against Gen. Powell
Clayton for temporary chairman,
and for John R. Lynch. Most
of Mr.. Roosevelt's associates op-
posed Blaine, even to election
day, but Mr.. Roosevelt rejoined
his party late in the campaign.
In this convention Mr., Roosevelt
made a direct inquiry as to whe-
ther or not a committee was ex-
rected to report a plan for cut
ting down Southern representa-
ton.
"ln the convention of 1900 Mr..
Roosevelt was a delegate, and
was nominated for vice presi-
dent through the influence of
Senator Thomas C.. Platt of New
York, and Boies Penrose of Penn
sylvania, who brought Senator
Mark Hanna around to consent
ing to his nomination.
In 1904 Mr.. Roosevelt nomin-
ated himself, 1870 delegates and
alternates in the convention from
the Southern states being feder-
al office holders. Mr.. Roosevelt
controlled the convention him
self, absolutely, and had Senator
Elihu Root of New York named
temporary chairman, and Speak
er Joseph G.. Cannon of Illinois
made permanent chairman.
I'm 1908 Mr.. Roosevelt again
controlled the convention per.
sonally, and sent into that body
22O delegates and alternates
from the South who were on the
Federal pay roll.
"In 1912 Mr.. Roosevelt is a
gain trying to control tn
convention, and his frs
move in that direction was to op
pose the selection of Senator Ell
thu Root, his own temporar.
chairman in 1904, for the sam
office. He would also recall tn
present National committee, an,
promises to bolt the convention
if his contesting delegates ar
not seated. He will have a can
didate for permanent chairma1
of the convention, and will wan

form heresies hitherto unknoW,

BULL MOOSE DESCRIBED.

ReY William J. Long, the Connectl.
cut minister who vas thrust into the
nature faker class By Theodore Roose-
welt some few years ago, has been
digging in some OF Author Rooseyelts
books to discover how Hunter Roose-
Yelt vas impressed by the Bull Moose
when be made that animals habitat
bis own.
In view Of the fact that Candidate
Roosevelt has taken the same Bull
Moose as the label OF his new party
just what Roosevelt thinks Of the bull
moose is interesting. Even it the com
parison is painful and Roosevelt viii
undoubtedly declare It "odious" Hit
must stand, for the CoIonels own re-
marks certainly should be the final
word.
IN The Wilderness Hunter" Roose-
yelt wrote:
The Bull Moose lives on the public
domain and is very wasteful feeder.
He is Of wandering and flighty dis
position. His flesh, moreover. IS
coarse and stringy; his hide is thick
and Of very poor quality.
He frequently shows a clumsy slow
/ ness Of apprehension which amounts
70 downright stupidity.
Another noticeable characteristic
Of the bull moose is the inordinate ant
Interchangeable selfishness. Whether
I. roaming in the woods in solitude. ol
tearing up the earth or coming head
long to the call, he is king first, las
and all the time Of the safety of hi
own skin and the fullness Of his owl
stomach.
Further Indication Of the bulls es
sential selfishness are found In hi
frequent abuse and browbeating Of al
other moose that are smaller thai
himself He can not tolerate a riyal
but flies into a jealous rage at tn
first suggestion that there is an.
other bull moose in the universe

esle OF the incidents or the early

great deal OF merrlinent among the
white residents was the time the In
dams bought all the parasols and um-

This happened IN the seventies and
v'as on a rainy day. The Indians were
on their way south aud came through
the town OF Great Bend. They saw
number Of men and women on the
streets with umbrellas. and. being
plentlfully supplied with money and a
desire to own one Of the handy con
trivances. they got busy. The funny
part Of Il was that they made no dis
tinctlon between toy parasols. silk ones
and the serviceahle linen ones. 1t was
not long until the entire visible supply
Of all the stores had been purchased.
Then the fun began. Some Of the toy
parnsols were made Of cloth that was
highly colored. and as soon as the
water hit them the coloring matter
began to mix with the water and drip
down upon the Indians clothes. They
minded this not in the least and were
seen going southwark whooping and
