THE man whose name will pre-
sent to you is well qualified for the
high office for which he is willing to
run. heavens knows why.
Aside from his availability, he has
the assets that make the common Ieo-
pie love him and foreign nations re-
spect him. He has the BARRIERS IOte
sewed up. He shavcs or gets shaved
every day Of his life. and he does not
| allow his back hair to run amuck. He
is such nice guy that Bryan, who
he had in his chinonier couldn't get
along with him. He is so strong for
! AmcriCanism that any man who wears
or exhibits the American flag is just
as safe anywhere in the world as
COW in the stock yards.
Gentlemen. ! desire to present the
name Of Woodruff Wilson. or whatever
1t is, ana you all got to like it"
Mr.. Westcott's nominating speech
will be followed by much bigger
demonstration than that accorded

morning than they were at IL noon.
After obtaining the above scoop. I
was told to set around and notice
things and interview whoever ! could
get holt Of and write something de-
cent The first thing seen was Col.

a round straw hat that stops when II

behind when he walks and which was
designed TO protect his Adams apple
from the severe ST. Louis winter. and
suit Of clothes that would be loose
for Frank Gotch tried to find my
roommate. Mr. King. TO get a picture
OF this guy, but Mr. King had gone out
to Forest Park to spear hazlenuts.
O.
1 The next guy seen was Secretary
Daniels Of the navy and ! decided to
not tell him | was from the South Bend
News-Times. but 20 toll him the truth
and see what comes Of It.
I told him who really was.
Glad TO meet you. Mr. Gardner"
he says. I'm going up to my room
and take nap"
AS far as I'm concerned. you can
go up in your room and take cyanide
Of potassium I says. but not until
he was out Of the carshot.
The next man | interviewed was
William Mckinley. that used to no
speaker Of the house in Illinois. and
maybe he is yet.
You are writing great stun" he
says.

quarter on the mahogany.
After that run into Ed Fleming,
that's secretary for Malachi Hoyne. |

him walk and It sounded like nc was

says. That guy must be wearing Sui

scully and ninety Judge Sullians. but
