The Rev. n. o. Bell gave a SOM

Next a short speech by MIR. Wal

then installed Mrs. Bounds into her
station Miss Dooley rendered her
part with such facility that it made
AN new officers feel reposed while

Mrs. Bounds with all grace and
ease showed her zeal in the interest
she manifested in the order. being
able to go through the ceremonies
of the respective stations without
the use of the ritual. and installed
the following officers:

Men Who Missed the Presidency

Men Who Missed the Presidency
Notwithstanding the number Of vice
presidents Eho have succeeded 70 the
presidency. it is an Office which men
OF the first rank have been unwilling
10 accept since the early days when
4 the candidate for the presidency VINO
ran second in the election was made

Public Ledger.

President Roosevelt when he said in
1900 that be did not want the Of

Webster declined TO accept the vice
presidency. The convention met. and
Henry Clay. Harrison and Winfield

lot. Clay leading The friends Of Har
rison succeeded in nominating their
man. He was elected served one
month and died. John Tyler succeed

The chance came again in lS48 when

candidate IN mind, went to Marshneld
to offer the vice presidency to Web.
ster
And again Webster declined. He
went TO the convention as a candl-
date for the presidential nomination
and got two votes on the first ballot.
Taylor was nominated and elected. He
lived less than a year and half
and Willard Fillmore became presi-
dent.
Elihu Root, who may be described
as the Webster of the present, might
have been president, If he had been
willing to accept the vice presidency.
The denomination OF Mckinley in
1900 was admitted by everyone. 1t
was necessary to find candidate to
run with him. Mark Hanna offered
to make Mr.. Root a candidate. There
is little doubt If he had hac dr Roots
consent he could have forced the nom
ination on the convention. Root re
fused to consider the Office. Cornelius
~ Bliss, Senator Allison and Senator
Fairbanks also refused It.
Among the Inducements offered TO
Roosevelt TO persuade him 10 accept
the vice presidency in 1900 was the
assertion that Mckinley had raised
the Office in dignity VIZ making Vice
President Hobart one of his conGden.
iial advisors. But whether the con
stitutional successor OF president
who dies in bgice is made a conhden-

great Importance. II is not safe TO
