upon him. It also pieases the wat

monsged interes 8 are soIidiy atrayed
against woodrow Wilson. The dis
patch Is as follows:
1t became known in washington
today athat Senators FGhiltcR ana
Watson have Thrown Harmon over
board and are now allied with the
Underwood boom. The great inter-
ests of Wall Street, realizing that
the opposition already evidenced
against Harmon would be sumcient
to defeat the Ohio governor, have
lined up behind Underwood in the
last desperate, effort to- counteract
the growing wilson sentiment.
The interests realize that Bryan's
opposition to the Alabamian has
made the latter a desirable candi-
date. Chiffon and Watson's inia-

The question to be solved in the
coming presidential campaign, as
Interpreted by an an eastern man
wen versed in political affairs. SIS
that of choice between construc-
tive economic policies and destruc-
dive political expedients. The. as
pect is analyzed as follows:
The insurgents stand for polit-
zeal innovation and novelties; Mr..
Taft represents, the progressive
spirit Of economic advance The
convention Is not likely to turn away
from the man who is doing great
work in favor of those who advo-
cate, as the paramount policies OF
the party ADOPTION OF the referen-
dunn, the initiative and the recall
and variety of other departures
in the form OF government.
The Democratic party is likely to
place in nomination a radical, pos
sibly woodrow Wilson or Champ
Clark, although Mr.. Harmon, at the
present time, stands in fine favor.
Such selection would have acute ef-
feet upon the interests OF the Re
publican party should it also have
in nomination man of similar
stamp On the other hand, with a
conservative constructionist like Mr..
Taft, the Republican party would
sweep the country. With Mr., lHar-
mon as his opponent there would
be clean-cut race, with Mr.. Taft
the probable winner.
The radical element of the coun-
try makes its bid for a candidate
in one or the other party, and Mr..
Taft will probably be the man to
stem the tide in this direc-
ton. Strong, resourceful, frank
and honest, possessing the finest ca
pabilities and backed up by mag
niflcent record, he will be looked to
by the country to preserve it from
the innovators. The election of
Governor Wilson would mean the
placing in the Office of president
one bent upon the fundamental
changes in the system of national
government, SO as to accommodate
his ideas of an enlarged Demo.
Scratic expression. Mr. Taft must
and will be the paramount fgure at
the Republican convention. because
the Republican party, and the coun-
try alike, can not afford to dispense
with his services.

Glass Paving BIocks.

From time to time one will see
in the papers references to the use
of glass for street paving, ard the
Inference is unavoidable that the
time is near when we shall use
glass, not only to pave the streets,
but to build houses and to supplant
almost every other material for al
most every other use.
This promise is given something
Of a blow by recent consular reports
to the effect that factory in France

failed and gone out of business.

ONE BLADE BRINGS SHIP IN
Screw of Steamer Stripped of
Other Three in Storm.

A propeller blade. with a splendid
record. came to port Yesterday. 1t was
In the boss Of the screw of the British
freighter Maylands. which arrived with
a cargo of copper bars after a twenty
three-dav voyage from Huelva, Spain.
When the vessel goes into drydock for
a new propeller. Captain Ayres will keep
his trusty blade as a souvenir Of his
stormy voyage. for without ii he could
not have made port.
When six days west Of the Spanish
coast the Maylands encountered a storm
that made her do some pitching. The
propeller raced as her stern rose. and bv
degrees the screw was stripped Of its
blades. The Maylands got on fairly
well with three Of her four blades. and
managed to hold her own when the Sec
ond one snapped. But the crew lost
heart when the third blade was lost
about one thousand miles east OF Sandy
Hook.
Captain Ayres had faith In the re-
naming blade however. and II drove
him to port at speed Of about four
miles an hour.
