POPULAR IDOLS AS PREsIDEN.

The more or less positive assurance
OF some Of the followers of Colonel
Roosevelt that he will be a candidate
for president. on some ticket in 1916
is forcible reminder of the role per-
sonal popularity has played in presi-
dental campaign in the history of the
republic. Whether the colonel shall
head personally conducted campaign
as he did last year, or whether, as the
attempted wrecker of the republican
party in 1912, he shall be the party
candidate in 1915, his candidacy will
inspire "reminiscences, comparison and
conjecture.
The political history of the country
would seem to indicate that no politi-
cal party has ever elected president
when the candidates personal popu
larity has practically been the domin-
ant issue. Probably no man ever had
relatively larger personal following
than Henry Clay, yet he went down to
defeat so narrow that the plurality
FOR Polk was less than $4,000 short of
the vote of James G. Birney, the free
soil candidate
Next to Clay James G. Blaine was
the great popular idol of his party. IN
1884 the country was full of men who
were Blainiacs and almost maniacs in
their devotion to the "Plumed Knight"
But Blaine fell Outside the breast
works when less than 1000 more votes
in New York would have elected him
and satisfied the ambition of a life
time
William Jennings Bryan is the third
popular idol, able to manipulate an
other man into the White House. but
utterly unable to enter himself. In
1896 while the "cross-of- gold" speech
gave him the nomination, the free-sil-
YER issue in that campaign was bigger
than the boy ora tor" candidate. In
1900 and 1908 Bryans personality was
the dominant issue. Notwithstanding
Inc normal increase of million voters
with each presidential year, BRYAN |
boiled 144,792 fewer votes in 1900 than |
in 1896, and 94,s21 fewer in 1908 than

And now we have the colonel MS the

This German force, adds the corres-

The following statement from the
Russian general staff was made public
toin Petrograd Friday night:
ION the left bank of the Vistula our
troops, advancing from the lower part
OF the Bzura river, have reached Com

''In the center of the battle line we
captured the town of Brzeziny and the
villages In the valley Of the Mroga
river. In some places we dislodged
the Germans by bayonet attacks. Our
offensive In this region continues.
Between Brzeziny and Glowno our
cavalry succeeded in several charges
against the German infantry. During
the retreat of the enemy we captured
number Of field guns, some with
their teams complete. We are COM

Among the German troops we
pushed back from Rzgow and Tuszyn
toward Brzeziny was a division of the

A Rome dispatch says the Russian

Lodz has been renewed with fresh

were annihilated and many German
generals were killed, it adds: The
German front has been broken in sew
eral places and a decision is imminent.
