B1Am AND FAME.

What, after all, is fame! We may
we'll ask that question today. for it
is the birthday of man who few
short years ago was the idol of the
American people, and who today is al.
most forgotten.
When Robert G. Ingersoll made his
immortal speech nominating "The
Plumed knight" for the presidency Of
the United States, those who heard it
believed that James G. Blaine would
be remembered in history as long as
the nation lived.
James G. Blaine was born eighty
three years ago today. How many
people in the country will remember
1T during the day, or think Of it, Who
that ever attended republican con-
Vention during the eighties and nine.
ties will ever forget how men stood q,
the street corners and cried "Blaine.
9laine! James q. Blaine!' in rhy.h-
mic iteration. His was the magic
name to stampede any crowd. Was
there ever day from 1880 until he
died that he might not have the re-.
publican nomination if the people
could have decided. Yet TODAY his
name sounds almost strange. And it
is not with the strangeness of isola-
ton, of immortality, but with the
strangeness Of forgetfuluess and in.
difference.
No more dashing and romantic fig.
ure ever appeared in our latter aay
politics. BE caught the imagination
Of the nation and held it. The dem.
onstrations for Blaine were emotion
al outbreak that could not be re.
strained. Men wept as they cheered
his name. He created frenzies and
fanaticisms.
But he lost the one high prize for
which he aimed. He heard the cheers
no saw the applauding multltudes and
yet he never reached the promised
land. Some strange antic Of fate
swept him down when he was at the
summit. He died broken and disan-
pointed, the better part Of his nom.
Org left with generation that was
passing away. while the new. genera.
lion was just beginning to turn To
o!her things and had no time to ,emem
Der him.
Yesterday he was "The Plum al
Knight" and todaye-So what alto,

Saturday, President Wilson,
knowing that these three men
were active candidates for the
nomination which is equal to

He said that it had come to the

trust legislation and its relation
to your position in the house as
