custom house concealing the alleged

LOSES VOICE AT CONVENTION.
Cheers for Roosevelt Cause Suffragist
to Cancel Speaking Engagement.

CHICAGO. July 3.-Mrs. Isabelle Blaney
OF California, one of the two woman del
egates from California to the republican
national convention, last night was COM
PEELED to cancel an engagement to speak
at the home Of Mrs. A. NJ Day, in Lake
Forest. on woman suffrage because she
has not recovered her voice which she
strained cheering for Roosevelt during
convention week.
Mrs. Blaney was one of the leaders in
the cheering at Orchestra Hall when the
new party was formed. and the strain
combined with the damp lake air. so af-
fected her voice that she was unable TO
speak above q whisper.
Charles d. Blaney, her husband, suf-
fered an attack of Inflammation Of the
eyes and was obliged TO go to hospital
here. Mrs Blaney has remained in Chi
cago on that account.

Democrats Lose New York;
, tho Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
The rancor of the wounds made at the
convention will remain. Bryan has VIZ
tually passed New York into the nanus
~ tho republicans. even admitting that
the Empire state without the aggravation
to its voters offered by Bryan would have
gone democratic. The safe and sane con-
servative sentiment Of the country VIII
range itself with the republican ticket
seryative progressive element Of the coun-
try will vote him back to the White
House. He stands for effective national
ism. Gov Wilson by his own admission
was converted to the initiative, the REFER
endum and the recall after he had de-
nonnced these heresies. His only expla-
nation for the change was that his argu-
ments remained sound, but the facts did
not support them.

Hats OFF to Wilson!
From the New York Herald

From the New York Herald.
Stripped Of all the finer questions as g
whether all the conservative democrats
are dishonest and all the radicals saints
and whether Mr.. Bryan would be denied
admittance to the Delectable City II ne
tainted himself by voting for the same
candidate who got the support OF Charles
r. Murphy, the fact stands out clearly
that Gov. Wilson is the candidate Of the
democratic party for President, with the
votes of the ''unclean'' and the clean.
cast for him. The New Jersey governor
has won and won handsomely. When. 1t
is analyzed it Is a personal triumph. He
was nominated in spite of Mr.. Bryan S
tactics and as the direct result Of the
action of the Illinois delegation, which
started the 'stampede' resulting in
practically unanimous choice on the
forty-sixth ballot. Hats off to the gov

From the New York Times

From the New York Times.
In the nomination Of Woodrow Wilson
the democratic party regains its ancient
estate of worth, of dignity, of power. 1t
escapes the thraldom Of little men and ig-
noble leaders. It takes as its chief a man
Of that statesmanlike quality which BELTS
the presidential office. The nomination of
Gov. Wilson will unite the party. There
is not a democrat who can find a sound
and sufficient reason for withholding his
vote from such a candidate. Search for
the taints and blemishes, the tmprints of
subserviency to the selfish and the preda-
tory, of which we have heard so much.
and you will not find one Of them upon

Planning New Organization.

While the democratic convention was
nominating Gov. Wilson. Col. Roosevelt
and his lieutenants were hard at work
making plans for the new party. The
colonel spent the day in New York in
conference with Senator Dixon of Mon
tana, his campaign manager before the
Chicago convention; Frank A. Munsey
of New York, Charles H Thompson OF
Vermont and cambridge Colby Of New
York.
Col Roosevelt was asked IL he would
attend the new convention.
Il don't know" he replied. Il haven't
thought of it. Perhaps he added, smil-
ingly, II shan't be elected as dele
gate"
Col. Roosevelt would not discuss the
victory of Gov. Wilson, nor would he say
anything OF the convention. except In his
statement. He was asked whether the
new party would place ticket in the
field in Ohio in opposition to the one Sc
lected by the republican state conven-
ton there, and said that his supporters
in Ohio would settle that question.

The Presidential Campaign.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


The democratic national convention
has displayed the highest degree of
political strategy in nominating Wood
row Wilson as its presidential candi-
date, and at the same time has chosen
the man who can and will practically
eliminate Roosevelt's third-term party.
For sedf-contained, patriotic Americans
who take the broader and deeper view
of politics and parties, the urgent task
before the country, both at Chicago and
at Baltimore, was the elimination Of
Roosevelt and what he stands for.
Loyalty to party or obligations to men,
all conditions Of policy on the ordinary
debatable recurrent questions. such as
tariff or larger or smaller navy, or honest
differences Of opinion about mere machin-
cry, such as primaries or conventions or
initiative and referendum and the like,
while important, were lost sight OF In the
presence Of the imminent danger OF an
unhallowed movement, as perilous as it
was tricky in its insincerity.

ly came to a dreaming stenographer.
She had been indulging in romantic ideals
all her life, but apparently did not have
much chance of ever realizing them, be-
cause she was not of such pulchritude
as to attract wide attention. and her lot
was cast in very commonplace surround
ings. But one day fate came and showed
her the way.
