AS a result OF the alleged irregularity
and the secret bid of the Cummins con-
Germ. three other bidders signed a for
NAL protest against the consideration of
the Cummins bid. The protest ended
as follows:
The specifications call for bids on
four different items, while the Cum
minis bid names one lump sum for the
entire award of all models and does not
give the items as the specifications call
for"
The question as to whether the secret
bid which met the requirements OF the
specifications should be considered was
handed up to the Assistant Attorney Cen
eral for the Post-ofiCe Department. He
decided against the acceptance either of
the secret bid or the original bid of the
Cummins firm.
The department then decided, on rec
concentration by the canceling commit
tee, to readvertise for bids. to be opened

that the Cummins' firm had been the vic
tim Of a misunderstanding. Moreover,
according to figures submitted to the IN
vestigating committee the acceptance of
the Cummins FIRMS figures would have
saved the government a good deal OF
money. The committee, however. II is
understood, claims tnat on ngureS con-
tanned in the bids, another company I'M

This company claimed that the award

A limitation upon the amount to be
paid for the annual rental OF any can

a result. one firm found itself s. higher
than the $40 Limitation, and for some
reason the cancelinG committee deter

the particular type OF machine for which

rental per machine. 1t is to be remarked

A Roosevelt Party

Messrs. Edward G. Caring
ton, Jr.. Charles j. Bonaparte
(Soup House Charley George
X. Gather, George L. Yelling
ton and other Maryland Repub-
Leans have issued call for a
Roosevelt convention to be held
in Baltimore, July 25th. Ii is
safe to say that when the
National convention of the
Roosevelt party meets later on,
that Roosevelt will nominate
Roosevelt as the nominee of
the Roosevelt party for Presi-
dent. Oh yes, Roosevelt will
RUN all right. This time he
will not have to bride the dele
gates to vote for him, or put up
fake contests as he did in Chi
cago. Thou shalt not steal, "
has no terrors for him. Get
there" is his motto. If you
can't get there one way try the
other-but-get there.
Roosevelt will not get any
number of Southern Democrats
to vote for him. Southern Dem
ocrats do not believe in social
equality between the negro and
white man-Roosevelt DOES
he has boldly Haunted his be-
lief in the eyes of the Southern
Democrats, and now there is
more joy in the hearts of the
Southern self-respectiEg white
men over the downfall of Roose-
welt than of any man in the
United States. He is a hypo-
critic, an egoist, a blatant dem
agogue-an opportunist with
out the saving grace of decency.

WiIson-The Peoples
Candidate

All men, to whatever party
they belong, can safely espouse
the cause of Woodrow Wilson,
the nominee for the Presidency
of the great American people.
True, Wilson was nominated
by the Democratic Party, but
his nomination was demanded
of that party by the PEOPLE.
1t was done regardless of the
desires of the politician. 1t
was done regardless of the de-
mands of the Interests. 1t was
done in spite of all these forces.
WOODROW WILSON Is THE
PEOPLES CANDIDATE FOR
THE PR ESD ENCY. He
stands out in bold relief as a
great man, who will make a
great President. He stands out
in singular favor as the champ
ion of truth and honesty in the
conduct of public Office. AS
the Governor of the great State
of New Jersey he has demon
strated his fealty to the people.
He is not a trimmer, but a
straightforward manly man.
The young men of the nation
demanded the nomination of
Wilson, and the older men of the
nation recognized their demand
as right and proper. North,
south, east and west are
marching in the Wilson col
umn already. 1t is a great pa
geant the marching of the
PEOPLE to their own home

nothing as the cold light of dis
cussion is, for some four
months, turned upon this man
and his aims. The intent of
him is plain enough, and the
baneful influence of even par
tial success is obvious. One
thing, in the confusion he es-
says to spread, cannot be de-
MED. If Woodrow Wilson has
a clear and indisputable ma
jority of the Electoral votes, the
vain things imagined by this
reckless plotter will be of no
effect"

A Desperate Adventurer

The New York Times bears
the reputation of being as hon
est and reliable a journal as is
published in the United States.
The Times knows Roosevelt to
the core and it does not hest
tate TO brand him as a fake.
Tuesdays issue of the Times
contains the following;
THE desperate adventurer
who is trying to launch Third
Party this year is plotting to
bring about a situation essen
TALLY like that of 1876 in sever
al important features. He
seeks TO set UP contests" in
the Electoral Colleges of a
number of States, of the same
impudent sort as those he in
vented for the Convention of
the Republican Party, and he
bases the later on the earlier.
Asserting that the composition
of the convention whose nomi-
nation he moved heaven and
earth to secure, and which
would have gone unchallenged
had he succeeded, was invalid,
he is engaged in a mad hunt
for Republican candidates for
Elector who will betray their
party in his interest. Where
the Electors are nominated by
the State Conventions, he is
seeking, by the aid of the un-
scrupulous politicians whom he
has won to his side, to capture
the conventions. Where he
cannot do that he is organizing
bolts to 'steal" the Electors.
Where Electors are chosen at
primaries under the State law,
he will adjure the Republicans
that have been or may be nam
ed to reject the authority of the
Republican National Conven-
ton and, if elected, to cast
their votes for him, who, what
ever else he may pretend to be,
is not and can not be a Repub-
lican candidate.
Ii is too early to predict the
outcome of this reckless plot
ting. Ii may very well come to

spoke of her There was no one as pretty as she, and Vanni loved her, prosperous Vanni, whose fruit stand is just as the corner. But New York is bleak and cold, and that is why Ce- lia lies now in the dark room and coughs her life away. Only Tony, who cannot remember when he began to love Celia, comes to her now. She has ceased to wonder why Vanni does not come. One does not want a sick wife.
 The American doctor, who comes now and again, wonders each time to find the feeble little light of life still burning but Celia knows why, and so does Tony; but he also knows that every evening Vanni and Rosa walk together as lovers. That is why he works feverishly for poor little Celia wishes so much for a tombstone. She cannot die in peace until she knows there is money to buy one. So Tony works and saves and starves, that he may have enough; for in very love he wants her to die before she hears that Vanni har so soon forgotten and is to marry Rosa.
 Sometimes, in the still hot evenings Tony sits at Celia's side, and in whisp- CTS they discuss the relative advan- tage of a lamb, a broken lily, or, best of all, broken column with a vine. And some day the American doctor wifi be called to sign the death certifi- cate, then when next Tony shines your shoes, you will know, in spite of his dwarfed body, that Tony is an old, old man-Helen R.
