Some time ago a certain lincoln paper
resented the printing Of rumor that II
was to come out as q democratic paper.
The story was printed because there ap-
peared good reasons at that time to be-
lieve II true and to show republicans the
folly Of following after leadership that
would abandon them as soon as the real
fight commenced. In, spite of the denial
printed at that time said prominent re-
publican, present facts are as follows:
The one republican, candidate whom II
has been booming. Senator La Toilette. Is
hopelessly out OF 1t since Roosevelt has
actively entered the arena. That paper
is absolutely committed at the present
time against President Taft and former
President Roosevelt, the only ones who
have a ghost Of show Of obtaining the
republican nomination In view Of this
fact It appears to me that II Is good
policy to look for advice from those whd
are conceded TO be republicans. and who.
regardless Of differences over the nomi-
nee, expect to vote for the nominee Of
the party"

GOT A FULL VOTE.

Gvsn Though They Had to Go to jail to
SECURE lt.
That they had some rather advanced
IDEAS as to the means Of getting out
the vote" In New England century
ago Is shown by an extract from DR..
banks History Of Marthas Vineyard"
The voting, which occurred in 1907,
was on the question of the removal of
he county seat
H Extraordinary means were taken to
ret out a full vote in Edgartown. The
.ailing Of ships was delayed for weeks
10 that their crews might vote, and on
he day Of the town meeting it was
iound that the contest between the
wo factions was to be close.
Some one suggested that there were
eyeral voters who. unfortunately de-
rived Of their liberty, were languish-
ne In the town Jail. and IL the jailer
yould kindly allow them to step
/ cross the street and vote it would
Aonsume but few moments of the
Afme the prisoners owed to the coun-
y. The jailer did not feel that he had
he right to allow a general Jail de-
livery even for such a worthy object.
Though it might save Edgartown.
lit was then proposed that the ballot
COX be carried over to the gentlemen
Tho were incarcerated. The point
gas then raised that all ballots must
,e cast in open meeting and in the
rcsence of the election officials. New
rtheless astute minds found a way
ut of this awkward dilemma. A mo-
ion was made and carried that the
meeting adjourn to the jail. There the
sallot box was carried to the door Of
ach prisoners cell. and the imprison-
d voters reached through the bars
nd deposited their ballots.

tentative of going alone, going with
Roosevelt, or supporting the machine
made nominee.
: OF course, the machine may not be
able to name Clark. but the chances
mated, there is no doubt Mr.. Bryan can
have any kind OF a platform he de-
sires. He will be invited TO write il, TO
revise il, TO dictate il, and TO super
wise il, He can put in plans for any
thing from stipulation that Senator
Vardaman must cut his hair TO a de-
mand for the burning of the customs
houses. Nobody will object.
Hope the eaynor Asset.
II will be pointed out to Bryan that
he has been fairly treated. IL will be
shown TO him that he has been allowed
TO dictate about everything save the
actual nomination He will be pstted
on the back as the greatest Democrat
since jefferson. II. perchance il is
not in the cards TO nominate Clark
and there is a deadlock and Ions
drawn fight, the Gaynor folks hope TO
come in. Hope is the principal Gaynor
asset
Not much attention has been paid
TO the vice presidency. The mayor OF
Baltimore is a candidate. His name Is
Preston and he has a large house and
is running on a platform of a nightly
reception with a firebrand OF punch
served literally.
Representative Redfield of Brooklyn
has announced himself His platform
is choice set of side whiskers. Then
there are Representative Sulzer of
New York. Mayor Baker OF Cleveland.
and all the defeated candidates for the
presidency. that is. all the candidates
OF the second class. including Mar
shall. Baldwin, ct al.
Guesses on Vice President.
Mayor Gaynor's name has been sug-
gested and the name of Senator
O'Gorman. of New York. IL Clark is
nominated II is likely New York man
will be chosen. If II is Wilson, Baker.
or Cleveland is a good guess.
And. looking forward a bit. IL must
not be forgotten that Col. Theodore
Roosevelt has about as keen an inter
est in this convention as any man. II
is unlikely that Roosevelt's third party
movement will amount to much IL Will
| son is nominated here. IL Wilson isn't
nominated. just as a final prophecy
it being safe to prophecy about an
August event-watch for a ticket CON-
posed of Roosevelt and Wilson on a
radical platform.
