being .'tall and skinny is not quieting to

For this they can scarcely be blamed, but

The causes of leanness are many Per-

PHYSICAL Fitness for Business Men
BUILDING UP THE FiABlTUALLY LEAN.
By Frank A. Gotch, Worlds Wrestling Champion

Of fresh air. deep breathing and syste-
matte exercise will be more likely to build
up the thin ones than anything else.
Too much exercise is not advisable. But
plenty of fresh air, regular baths and
right food selection Will help
Lots of milk and cream and fresh eggs
tossed into the regular diet won't hurt
unless the doctor puts his thumb down on
this diet and says it isn't the thing. But
if the doctor finds no specific physical
reason. then the advice / have given
above is fairly dependable.
The kind of exercise may include walk
ing. tennis. golf gymnasium work, de-
pending on the season. but the brand is
not so important. What counts most is
the regularity of+it.. the baths and. rub
downs that follow it, and proper regard
for the care of ones health.
If the thin person abuses his body,
then he has himself to blame. and that
abuse need not be stimulants mar
cotics. 1t may be improper food. irregu-
larity in eating, too hasty eating, long
hours. or too little sleep.
Thinness is an effect. The cause lies
somewhere in the environs of the con-
ditions l have suggested. But there is
more joy in being under weight than
overweight. and any fat man knows it
secretly. even though he does not care to
admit it openly.

GOV. WILSON TELLS
WHY He REFUSED TO
INSTRUMENTATION
1T Would Have Been An
Act of Impertinence,
He Says.

SEA GIRT, n. j., July 1.-Governor
Wilson issued a statement today de-
claring his reasons for remaining away
from Baltimore during the convention.
He said:
1T would manifestly be nearly an act
Of impertinence on my part to appear
before the convention, as II to seek their
interest in me personally. l am inter-
ested in arguing causes, but not in such
errands as ! would seem to have If !
went to Baltimore.
Il have never entertained the thought
for a moment"
This was to set at rest a movement
begun several days ago by the govern
or's friends to. have him appear before
the convention. kilograms urging him
to do so poured in by scores to the ex-
ecutive mansion here during the day.
AS to the general situation, Governor
Wilson said:
My predominating feeling about the
whole situation Is one of pride that the
men who are supporting me are doing
so because of an evident conviction that
they are standing for a principle.
Il should feel abashed If thought /:
was mere loyalty to ME as an individ-
ual deeply as that would crafty any
man. l feel II is a privilege to be sup
see the support grow, as II in response
to conviction and public sentiment"
On being shown statement in Sun
day papers that the Wilson managers
had failed to arrange with leaders OF
the New York delegation for the votes
of New York, Governor Wilson dictated
the following statement:
'Of course, | do not know in detail
what my friends and supporters are do,
ing, but / am morally certain that they
are not making arrangements or at
tempting to come to an agreement with
anybody.
IT am certain they are doing nothing
that could not be done in view of thu
whole country, and that their onl!
means of getting support is argument.
There cannot by any possibility b.
any trading done In my name: not
single vote can or will be obtained b!
means of any promise"
Governor Wilson spent Sunday quietly
He slept until 10 o'clock, and went L
church in the morning The afternoon
was spent with his family at the execu
tive mansion, in reading letters and tel
grams that had accumulated and Il
comforting with friends in Baltimor
over the long-distance telephone HI
said he was making no attempt to direc
the details of his campaign.

WATTERSON CALLS
BRYAN UNFORGIVABLE
Nebraskan Has Sacrificed Private
Duty and Public Faith,
Says Editor.

LOUISVILLE, July 1-Henry Waiter
son says in the Courier-J ournal today:
The course pursued by Mr.. Bryan
at Baltimore is unforgivable. 1t is not
alone that he seeks to play the role
played by Mr.. Roosevelt as a dictator.
but that. in raising a false issue
against his party and his friends, he
has sacrificed private duty and public
faith. putting in peril what seemed a
sure triumph for Democracy.
He hoists the standard of hatred
and revenge over what should be a
marching army of brothers. He plays
directly in the hand of the enemy and
invites defeat. II the convention ac-
cepts such a leadership it will abdi-
cate the principles and rights of true
Democracy and surrender all which
Democrats hold glorious ard great to
the selfish rule OF the one-man power.
eager to exploit itself at the cost of the
party interest.
The response of Champ Clark is all
sufficient. Replete with manly dignity
and feeling, it appeals to the heart Of
every Democrat in the land, and should
be followed by his nomination today"

Will Draw Plans for
Progressive Party

AS the result of a growing interest
in Washington in the formation of
progressive party, headed by Colonel
Roosevelt or some other good progress
sive, it is probable that progressive
organization soon will be established
here
A committee, composed of Joseph
Sardo, ]. J. McCurrey, j. A. Carroll,
William A. Hickey, and ]. +. McCauley,
has been appointed to perfect the or
ganization. They have been in com
muntcation with former President
Roosevelt, and shortly expect to hear
from him whether it would be advisable
to establish a progressive club COM
posed of Spanish war veterans and
working people, as proposed by the
local promoters.
1t Is expected that similar organiZa-
tions will be organized to further the
candidacy of Colonel Roosevelt.
The idea of forming the soldiers,
and veterans, and working people in
to an organization to further the
cause of Colonel Roosevelt of the
same caliber, originated in Wasting
ton. 1t is planned to make a strong
patriotic appeal to the peoplN irl e
spective of party affiliations. Thou-
sands of former soldiers, sailors, and
marines throughout the country Will
be asked to interest themselves In
this movement.

tempt was made to use the New York
vote to elect Mr.. Clark.
In acting one must always consider
the conditions to be met, for conditions
are usually the measure CT exertion.
At the Chicago convention | saw how
unfairly holdover political machine
had made up the temporary roE of the
convention and then used the votes OF
those put upon the roll to seat each
other, thus giving to the committee
control Of the new convention.
Watched the ROLLER.
l was In a good position TO watch the
roller as 1t moved noisily alcng, over-
coming every obstruction and, when It's
work was completed, thwarting the
will of Il large majority of the Repub.
lican party. To add aggravation to tle
wrong, the committee was made up OF
representatives from the Southe IN
States. where there is practically nc
Republican vote.
Those committeeman, representing
merely a paper organization and held
to the Republican party largely by the
power of patronage. were used to out
vote the representatives from States
that cast a large Republican vote. And
to add further cause for Indignation
this unfairly proportioned committee
seated delegates upon the same Con,
gressional proportion as in the North
The Congressional district in which
live, for instance. has a Republican
vote of some 25,000 and has two district
delegates. The State of Louisiana casts
some 5000 Republican votes and has
twenty delegates in the Republican

proportion to voting population.

About the time this outrage on popu

the Democratic national committee act

committeeman to misrepresent the dele
cations and intending to open a pro
gressive convention with reactionarS
keynote.
l soon learned that the same in1u
ence which at Chicago defied popular
sentiment in the Republican party were
here in force. l found that having de
feated the progressive program at Chi

It here. Here. cunning was substituted
for boldness, and the progressive brand
