DECLARES
 SICK BOSSES NAME
 BOTH CANDIDATES
Iowan is Not Pleased With the Republican Re-
 suits

Fort Dodge, June 15.-Senator w. S. Kenyon, who has returned to his home here for a rest, declared today that he was disappointed that the republicans failed to nominate progressive for president, but said that he was willing to take the stump to help insure a republican victory in November. Prior to the conven- tion, Senator Kenyon campaigned for Johnson.
 "The people are so disgusted with the Wilson administration" said Sen ator Kenyon, "that they will elect Harding.
 The republicans, however, may as we'll get ovr the idea that the cleo tion is a. cinch and it behooves every republican to buckle down to hard work for the ticket. Governor Cool lidge's nomination for vice president strengthened the ticket in the east and undoubtedly throughout the whole country. As usual the country west of the Mississippi is forgotten. but that part of the country also will be forgotten by the democrats. "Either McAdoo, Marshall or Cox will be named by the democrats.
 "The most disappointing part of the republican convention was to see the delegates unable to act until they received word from sick boss in Philadelphia. There will be strong parallel at San Francisco when the ld do1o o1r boss at Washington. There never was a chance in this boss-controlled con- .vention for man of Hiram John- sons type. The convention was strong for Roosevelt-he being dead. If Roosevelt had been alive, he would have had about as much chance in the convention as Johnson. If John son had been dead probably he would have had as much coincidence as Roosevelt. The kind of men the peo- pie want are the kind of men the bosses are determined the people shall not have.
 "The men who supported Johnson will be found working for the ticket and working in the next congress as they have in this for legislation in the interest of all the people and will be found fighting against domination of congress by those seeking special favors and special privileges in leg islation."
 Senator Kenyon had words o1 praise for the republican nominee I"clear and honorable in private anc public life, one hundred per cen American and will make good pres ident."

Continued From Page 1

I mock trial was held. The three me- groes declared guilty were taken to Second east and First street, about one and a half blocks away.
 McGhie was the first to feel the moose. He cried for mercy, declaring his innocence. Two Catholic priests called upon the crowd to let the law take its course, but their pleas went unheeded.
 One priest, Father F. J. Howard climbed 15 feet up an electric light pole and again pleaded with the men He was met by hoots and cries of Gre. member the girl-lynch them"
 Twice McGhie was jerked into the air to the shouts of the mob, and each time the rope broke, "God be with them, am not the right man, was his last cry as on the third tria, he went to his death.
 A similar fate quickly was meted te Jackson and Green who likewise pro. tested their innocence and pleaded fol mercy. There was no demonstration after each body scared into the air and no attempt was made to mutilate the bodies in any way, it was said by onlookers

WHAT SENATOR SMITH BID.
FOR The PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Senator John Walter Smith has
always manifested the deepest solicit
tude for the Public Schools and public
education In 1895 and before that
time the working people OF Maryland,
and the farmers, did not have al
much money as they have today.
Senator Smith found that many poor
people were keeping their children
from school, and that these children
were being denied an education be-
cause their parents had no money to
buy school books and were too proud
and self-respecting to go as paupers
to ask for the books. He thought that
all the children Of the State, rich or
poor, white and colored, should have
an equal opportunity to get an edu.
cation and equip themselves for max
ing living. He believed that the
school should be free in fact as well
as In name, and they could not be
really free schools unless children
could attend them without cost He,
therefore, prepared a bill at the ses-
sion Of the General Assembly in 1896.
and introduced il into the Senate ap-
propriating $4,000 year for the
purchase of school books, for the free
use OF all the pupils in the public
schools, rich and poor alike. so that
ell should be equal and that there
should be no class distinctions and
that no child should be deprived of an
education because its parents were
unable to buy books
Senator Smiths strong personal
influence, and the Justice of his
cause prevailed and his bill was en-
acted into law as Chapter 135 Of the
Acts Of 1895. When he introduced
this bill Senator Smith made pow.
erfal speech which carried conviction
TO the Senate.
Senator Smiths law required the
various Boards of School Commits
sioners to purchase the necessary
school books and to furnish them free
of cost to all pupils in the pablo
schools. The act requires the School
Commissioners to furnish annually to
the State Board of Education the title,
the name Of the publisher, and the
net price paid for each text book pur-
chased.
For this splendid law all the peo-
pie of Maryland whose children at
tend the public schools white and
colord alike have reason to be crate
full to Senator John Walter Smith.
AS Governor also Senator Smith
did a nna service for the public
schools in taking them out OF politics
by the reorganization of the system
and making provision for the appoint
ment Of State superintent Of Edu.
cation.
