campaign which is to follow between
the two great national parties. The
question here as stake was whether
the Republican party was to cnanee
its attitude as the chief c~onservator
in the national of constitutional rep
resentative government and was to
weaken the constitutional guarantee
of life, liberty and property n all
other rights declared sacred in the
Bill Of Rights, by abandoning the prin-
ciple of the absolute independence OF
the judiciary, essential to the mainte-
nance of those rights. The campaign
carried on to seize the Republican
uarty and make 1t the instrument or.
reckless ambition and the unsettling
of the fundamental principles of our
government was so sudden and unex-
pected that time was not given close
" to show to the people and the party
the dangers which confronted them.
It was sought to break the wise and
valuable tradition against giving nor
than two terms to any n man In the
presidency and the danger from its
breach could not be measured. The
importance of the great victory which
has been achieved can not be oVer.es-
timated. All over this country patri-

more freely that q most serious men.

been averted.

ROOSEVELT NAMED
BY PROGRESS|VES
cOLONEL,S DELEGATES FROM
ALL STATES HOLD iNDEPEND-
EMIT CONVENTION.
NAME VICE PRESIDENT LATER
Much Enthusiasm Prevails In Orches-
ira Hall, Birthplace of New Party
Sufficient to Carry Conviction That
ORGANIZATION Means Business.

Chicago-Former President 'Theo-
dore Roosevelt was nominated for
President on an Independent ticket
Saturday night in the dying hours,
of the Republican national convention
in which he had met defeat.
The followers of Colonel Roosevelt
gathered in Orchestra Hall, less than
a mile from the Coliseum and pledged
their support to the former President.
Colonel Roosevelt said:
Gentlemen: l thank you for your
nomination and in you I recognize the
lawfully elected delegates to the Re
publican convention who represent the
overwhelming majority Of the voters
who took part in the Republican pri-
maries prior to the convention and
who represent the wish of the major.
ity of the lawfully elected members
of the convention. I accepted he
nomination subject to but n condi-
ton.
This has now become a contest
which cannot be settled merely along
the old party lines. The principles
that are at stake are as broad and as
deep as the foundations : our DEM
ocracy itself. They are in no sense
sectional. They should appeal to all
honest citizens, East and West, North
and South. They should appeal to all
right thinking men whether Republi-
cans or Democrats without regard to
their previous party affiliations. 1 feel
that the time has come when not on
ly all men who believe in progressive
principles but all men who believe in
those elementary maxims of public
and private morality which must un-
derlie every form Of successful free
government should join in one move
ment. Therefore I ask you to go to

New York.-A special cable from
London says:
Narrowing tales Of the famine in
Russia are being published by the
Russia Famine Relief Committee,
which is doing its utmost to gather
enough funds together to meet the
need of the thousands of sufferers who
as soil tillers will continue to suffer
until after the gathering of the July
crops.
Mrs. C. P. Sangster Of No. IS Oak
ley ST., Chelsea, London, secretary
Of the English Famine Relief Fund,
states that considerable, though far
from adequate, contributions Of mon
ey are being forwarded to the Free
Economic Society of st. Petersburg,
an old organization dating back some
thing like a hundred years, that has
the sanction Of the Russian govern
ment.
Twenty Provinces" Mrs. Sangster
said, are in q deplorable condition,
and it must be remembered that a
Russian province is in size something
between a half and the whole Of Eng

in the province Of Samara,, the
peasants are selling off everything
cattle. horses, land and even wearing
apparel. All these bring trifling sums,
only to get a stone of flour, which is
never, however, eaten unadulterated.
Schools in furnishing districts s>
gradually emptying. Some Of the chill
dren are joining their parents and
taking part in public works instituted
by the government; others go begging
TOR bread. Those that still attend
school are in rags and present a dole

Russia, up to now, in spite Of diff
culties, has succeeded in establishing
$50 relief centers in twelve provinces
where close upon $4,000 adults and
children have received daily %rations."

Ohio for President, and James School
craft Sherman of New York, for Vice
President.
President Taft receied 561 Of the
1,07S votes in the convention, or z
more than a majority.
The decision of the Roosevelt peo-
pie, under direction of their leader,
to refrain from voting, left no other
candidate. The announcement Of the
Taft victory was greeted with cheer
ing from his adherents and groans and
hisseS from the opposition.
When it became absolutely certain
early Saturday that Mr.. Taft would be
nominated without great difficulty the
leaders in control Of the convention
decided to give him as a running
mate his companion on the ticket in
1908.
All others dropped from the race
and Mr.. Sherman was the only can.
didate regularly placed before the
convention. A motion from New
Hampshire to make the nomination
by reclamation was declared out of
order. There were many scattering
votes on the roll call that ensued.
p. The convention amid much confu-
sion adjourned sine die.
At no time was there an indication
Of a walk-out of the Roosevelt dele
gates. They expressed their revolt
by silence.
In the confusion just before the ad'
iournment, a resolution was adopted
giving the national committee power
to declare vacant the seat Of any mai
on the committee refusing to support
tho nominees of the regular conven,
ton OF 1912.
Shesman's vote was 597.
President Taft made the following
statement:
"The national convention Of one OF
the great parties is ordinarily i'm
portant only as a preliminary to a
national campaign for the election Of
a President. The Chicago convention
Just ended is much more than this
and is in itself the end Of a pre-con'
vention campaign presenting a crisis
more threatening and issues more

HEADQUARTERS Deserted.

Chicago.-The majority Of the polit,
ical headquarters were deserted Sun
day. LaFollette and Cummins sup
porters left soon after the convention
closed. The Taft headquarters were
fllei with boxes trunks and %suitcases,
preparatory to leaving. Mr.. Mckinley
left for Washington. He was in an
optimistic mood. When the nomina-
ton of Roosevelt was mentioned, he
smiled and said: "a mar will do
some peculiar things when he is de.
feated. The Orchestra hall meeting
did not excite men,"

DOCTORS SHIFT.
Now Gets Along Without Il.

A physician says: Until last fall
used to eat meat for my breakfast and
suffered with indigestion until the
meat had passed from the stomach.
Last fall I began the use Of Grape
Nuts for breakfast and very soon
found I could do without meat, for my
body got all the nourishment neces-
sary from the Grape-Nuts and since
then 1 have not had any indigestion
and am feeling better and have in
creased in weight.
"Since finding the benefit I derived
from Grape-Nuts I have prescribed the
food for all my patients suffering from
indigestion or overlooking and also
for those recovering from disease
where I want a food easy to take and
certain to digest and which will not
overtax the stomach.
81 always find the results I look for
when I prescribe Grape-Nuts. For
ethical reasons please omit my name"

Inc reason TOT inc
amount Of nutriment, and the easy
digestion Of GrapeNuts Is not hard to
find.
In the first place, the starchy part
OF the wheat and barley goes through
various processes Of cooking, to per-
fectly change the starch into dextrose
or gr%ape-sugar, in which state 1t Is
ready to be easily absorbed by the
blood.
The parts in the wheat and barley
which Nature can make use Of for re-
building brain and nerve centers are
retained in this remarkable food, and
thus the human body is supplied with
the powerful strength producers, so
easily noticed after one has eaten
Grape-Nuts each day for a week or
ten days.

planned in the little book, 1.-THE Road

A man went into a butchers shop
and asked how much sausages were

"Ah," said the butcher, "der brice

"Nonsense!" exclaimed the custom
er, that is outrageous. I can get
them at Schmidt's for twenty cents"

Clothes and the Man

A colporteur IN South Carolina,
walking many miles through mud, &C.
costed a passerby and suggested the
purchase Of the Bible. He was re-
fused. The next day, says the Record

and cleanup, he set up his stand IN
town and had the pleasure Of selling
a Bible to the very man who had re-
fused to purchase the day before. u

Methodist tramp. When 1 buys a Bi-
Bile I buys it from a Baptist gentle,

The First Consideration.

At st. Andrews some years ago an
old farmer and his plowman were
carting sand from the seashore. They
were behind the target on the rifle
range, but hidden by a bank Of sand
from q party of volunteers, who were
then on foot, at practice. A stray bull.
let struck the plowman on the leg,
and he Immediately dropped, exclaim-
ing: I'm shot!"
Without more ado the farmer
scrambled up the bank and, waving
his hand to the volunteers, shouted:
Hey, lads, stop that, will ye?
You've shot a man, and 1t MIGHT haze
been the horse!"-London Tit-Bits.
