Of late. The vice president is Senator
Jacob H. Gallinger, of New Hamp-
shire, conservative of conservatives,
upon whom descended the mantle of
the late Senator Aldrich when he re-
tired from his position of leadership.
Among the former progressives or
near progressives serving on the ex-
ecutive committee are: Senator A.
]. Gronna, of North Dakota, Senator
John D. Works, of California, and
Representative J. Hampton Moore,
of Pennsylvania. Among the con-
sentative or near conservative mem
bers of the committee may be found
John w. Weeks, of Massachusetts,,
now a prominent presidential candi-
date; Representative Martin B. Mad
den, of Illinois, and former Senator
James A. Hemenway, of Indiana. On
the committee also one finds the
name of Dan R. Hanna, CT Ohio, a
conservative who, if recollection
serves correctly, supported Roose-
welt in the 1912 preconvention cam
paign.
To some political theorists it may
seem odd that Messrs. Bourne and
Gallinger and Gronna and Weeks
and Works and Hemenway may be
preparing to pull together for re-
publican success in 1916. Practical
politicians, however, realize that
this is the sort of combination that
will be required to bring home the
bacon next year. In 1912 the two
elements of the party, represented
by these leaders, first fought for con-
troll of the party, and then failed to
cooperate in the ensuing election.
The result was an overwhelming VIC
tory for the democratic party, won
without even approximiating ma
jority Of the total vote. A similar
result might easily be reached in
1916, with or without the aid of a
formidable third party. All that is
required to insure the success of the
democratic party next year is that
the two republican factions shah
fight each other to finish in the
preconvention campaign and the los
ing element in the convention shall
move over and support the demo-
cratic ticket at the election.
If the campaign of 1912 carried
any plain moral, it was that the re-
publican army is not big enough to
divide into two fairly equal divis-
ions and expect either division to
prove strong enough to defeat a
united enemy. If the Frightening
prospect for the future is to be real
lied, the spirit of rational comprom-
Use must find welcome on both sides
of the old line of party division. If
this is not to be the fact the late
progressives might as well stay in
the third party and make the re-
election of Wilson so obvious from
the outset that the country will be
spared the suspense and travail Of
strenuous campaign next year.

Yes, big wad of money was ex-
pended to elect Roosevelt president
in 1904, but the country never made
a better investment. But at that, the
fund was only about half as large as
the one created to elect Mckinley in
1900, according to the evidence pro-
duced at the Roosevelt-Barnes libel
suit.

One thing has been fully settled

The Bodie Bugle would like to
know why Lars Bladine, editor Of
the Cedar Falls Record isn't the man
to nominate for Acknowledgements.
"He would make good" says Editor
Temple, mot only as candidate,
but would help to get votes for the
balance of the ticket, no matter who
was nominated, and as lieutenant
governor he would be right on the
job. Why not boost for Lars and
induce him to enter the race?"-
Register and Leader.
That is a good suggestion, as the
people of Webster City will concede.
Mr.. Bladine lived here for more than
a year, going from here to Cedar
Falls when he purchased the Record.
He is a young man of good ability,
strictly on the square, and would fill
the position of lieutenant governor
in a manner that would surely be
to the people of the

SYNOPSIS.

The New York police are mystified by
series of murders and other crimes. The
principal clue to the criminal is the warn
ing letter which is sent the victims, signed
with "clutching hand" The latest vic
tim of the mysterious assassin is Taylor
Dodge, the insurance president. His
daughter Elaine, employs Craig Kennedy,
unravel the mystery. What Kennedy &C
complishes is told by his friend Jameson,
a newspaper man. Enraged at the deter
mined effort which Elaine and Craig Ken
nedy are making to put an end to his
crimes, the Clutching Hand, as this
strange criminal is known, resorts to all
sorts of the most diabolical schemes to
put them out of the way. Each chapter
of the story tells of a new plot against
tective uses all his skill to save this pref
ty girl and himself from death.

With callous deviltry, the oriental
satanists made every arrangement for

At last all seemed to be in readiness
to proceed.

Long Sin held in his hand a small,
profusely decorated pot from which
smoke was escaping. AS he ap.

der her nose once, twice, three times.
Gradually Elaine fell into uncon-
seriousness.
While Elaine was facing death in
the power of the devil worshipers, I
had reached the house of Savetsky
next door with the police, and the
place had been quietly surrounded.
With the plainclothes man, daring
and intelligent fellow, l went to the
door and rang the bell.
