The importance of the first voter in presidential campaign is emphasized by statistics recently secured from the bureau by congressman who anxious know how many who voted for Mckinley and Bryan in 1896 still living. The experts replied that the answer AZ out of every 10O That is, about half the voters every twenty years. The for Bryan in 1896 was 6OOOOO0 in round numbers There will be 3,O00,O0O survivors at the election this fall
 The statistics bring the point that political party order survive be constantly receiving recruits from young voters. This explains why. in every campaign stress is laid campaign work among the young Political managers realize, if the ayman not that death is continually taking toll of the party strength and that party which fails to win favor among the members of the on- coming gen. eraton might well go of business
 The progressive party formed four years ago was noted for the great number of young men and women in its ranks attracted from both the republican and the democratic parties.

A Despairine Opposition

dispatch yesterday stated that several state leaders unnamed). corroborated by equally unnamed) had said that canvass he delegates the national republican convention already chosen, about forty per of the number having been selected they find very Roosevelt sentiment among the delegates. O the delegates to the convention chosen selected at primaries and of them recently that they could not well have been sounded by interviewers.
 Word from all parts country discoses a strong Roosevelt sentiment among republicans where that it may be presumed that delegates elected at primaries would reflect that sentiment whenever the time comes for expression of it. In accordance with the wishes of Colonel Roosevelt, Roosevelt delegates to the national republican vention have been chosen anywhere. He has urgently requested that his be kept of primaries, and while his wishes have been acceded to- delegates elected at many of the primaries have secret of the fact that they going Chicago the colonel.
 The giving of the impression 0 unnamed re- publican leaders that there great timent among the delegates elected is so con- tfary to the word brought by travellers through all parts of the country that be regarded a weak and despairing attempt to stop the rising Roose welt sentiment and that when that failed there will be serious effort prevent the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt; that is, there will be recourse such methods at Chicago proved fatal the repub Hcan party four years ago

While many delegates chosen have been instructed to vote favorite the instructions very urgent in one case the delegates have been instructed vote for candidate from that least the first ballot Most of the primary delegates chosen in the known to favor Colonel Roosevelt their first and certainly, their second choice

This actually happened baby born during the voyage from Yokohama to San Francisco the last day of February, 1904. It is widely known that in order make the number of sunriseS and sun sets experienced during voyage round the world correspond with the calendar extra day be intercalated, or heaved overboard according to the direction travelled. This adjustment is made the time of crossing the l80th meridian which runs the west of the midway point between Japan and Cali fOrna.

It related by the late Colonel C. H.

They went the ranch house and built up log fires which they hovered and shivered.

CHANGE RAIL GAUGE IN POLAND

The Russian railroads in Poland, for strategical req sons were built on a broad gauge. The Germans have standardized this gauge, but this change has rendered useless all of the Russian rolling which was left behind. All freight therefore, had to be supplied from Germany, and great shortage is the result
 It is interesting to note that in standardizing the railroads the Germans the ends of the rail- road ties with the edge of the tracks thus mak ing it impossible in the event of Russian reoccupa ton of this country again broaden the gauge without laying down entirely of ties w H.
