II is especially true that Roosevelt
was hurt rather than helped by his
recent tour TO the Rocky Mountain
and Pacific Coast states. He indulged
In angry denunciations and offered no
practical remedy for the conditions OF
which he complained. The people
could not help seeing tnat he was
more Of demagogue than con-
structive statesman. The coolness OF
his reception has inspired the Repubh-
can leaders TO make an aggressive
fight in California and they have been
unwittngly aided by the Democratic
managers who sent Bryan into the
western country California and the
Pacific slope went overwhelmingly for
Champ Clark before the convention
and the presence of Bryan was as a
red flag in the face of bull 10 the
Clark men, for they hold Bryan per-
sonally responsible for the defeat o.
their fayorite. When, I'm addition to
this the Clark leader in California was
deposed and his organization turned
over TO a Wilson Democrat, situa-
tIon was created in the Democratic
ranks which helps the Republicans
nightly.

might be indefinitely extended. In one

Ii Is not necessary to take Republi-
can evidence only. A Democrat OF ma
tional prominence who was actively
engaged in promoting the candidacy OF
Champ Clark for the presidential NOM
ination, recently sent out $1,000 let
ters to Democrats throughout the
United States. In the replies which
he has received, wherever the name
of Roosevelt is mentioned. and that
IL in hundred OF cases, 1t is accom-
panied by the statement that Roose-
welt is losing ground in the writer's
locality.
And not only from the Democrats
but from Roosevelt himself there is
confirmation. II Roosevelt were gain

believing loudly. Roosevelt, self-ad-
vertiser that he is. would oe shouting
from the housetops If he were gaining
ground. His grouchy denunclation of
everybody and everything tell the
story of his discontinue. The fact is
that not a single accession TO the
Roosevelt ranks has been reported
since he began his campaign. On the
other hand. thousands OF desertions
from him to President Taft have been
announced.

The Best Soil to terminate Seed.

If blowing is done early and
the land is in proper condition,
deep spring blowing is desirable;
deep blowing should never be
done Immediately before seeding
in spring or fall where there is
danger of dry weather causing
failure of the seed to terminate.
A finely pulverized, compact
seed-bed, which can only be OBJ
tanned when the soil has had time
to settle after breaking, is the
ideal condition. 1t is not abso-
lutely necessary when there is
an abundance of moisture, but it
is essential to the best results
both fall and spring, taking one
season with another.
