thews, that HE never got caught in
any scrapes; he never had any boyish
foolishness; he never had any wild
oats to SOW"
The child was father of the man.
Hayes life is bare of personal anec-
dotes and dramatic contrasts. A law
yer and public man in the border city
of Cincinnati in the stirring days be-
fore the Civil War; an officer in the
volunteer army throughout the long
conflict, where he was wounded in
battle and where he commanded a
division under Sheridan; in congress
for two terms in the turmoil of recon
struction; thrice elected governor OF
Ohio in close, exciting contest
yet this man moved so noiselessly
through all these great scenes that he
was looked upon as an almost I'M
known actor on the national stage
when he made his entry as a nominee
for president. For 20 years he had
been playing his several parts and al
ways playing them fairly we'll, but
without becoming star or catching
the spotlight.
When Ohio entered him as her fav.
orite son, SO little account was taken
of him that other candidates permitted
the convention to go to his state, thus
repeating the mistake of the unsus-
pecting politicians who let the convcn.
ton of 1850 go to Lincoln's state.
Here is another parallel: majority
Of the delegates when they arrived in
Cincinnati in 1876 were for Blaine,
just as a majority went to Chicago
favorable to Seward And Blaine lost
the nomination, precisely as Seward
lost it at Chicago. by an adjournment
over night. If the ballot had been
taken as it properly should have been

the eloquence Of Robert G. Ingersoll's
tribute to the "Plumed knight" the
convention would have been swept OF
its feet for the Man from Maine.

Rutherford Birchard Hayes nomina-
ton for president in 1876 over James
G. Blaine, Roscoe Conkling and Oliver
P. Morton took the country by surprise
almost as much as the earlier nomin-
atoms of Polk and Pierce. Yet the
defeat Of the favorites in the race was
quite in keeping with custom.
All parties for a generation had
shown tendency to prefer the less
known over the better-known candi-
dates. Fremont, the first Republican
nominee, had almost no political rec
ord. Grant had none at ALL and Lin
coin was nominated over Seward only
because he had the shorter record.
The convention system always tends
toward what James Parton described
as ''the exquisite economy of Nature,
which ever strives to get into each
place the smallest man that can fill
it," 1t simply missed it's calculation
in Lincoln. Hayes also proved to be
rather more of a man than the poll
ticians expected him to be.
Hayes had a geographical advantage
and the map is unduly important in
our politics. All the presidents that
the Republicans have elected since
Lincoln, who was also born in the
Ohio Valley, have been Ohioans by
birth, excepting only Roosevelt. And
it is unlikely that he ever would have
been nominated for the presidency if
death had not promoted him to it in
the first place.
Another consideration favored
Hayes. Just as the old Democratic
party, when it was under the domina-
ton Of the South, used to nominate
Northern men with Southern prin-
ciples," the Republican party, as it be-
came the representative of the bust
ness interests, resorted to the strategy
of nominating Western men with East
ern principles.
Hayes was a transplanted Connect
cut Yankee, whose people migrated
westward by way of Vermont BY the
accident of birth he was an Ohioan,
but in blood, in temperament and in
thought he was wholly a New Eng
lander, straight-laced Puritan in
character and scholar in tastes.
Like Jackson before him, he was a
posthumous child, having been born
10 weeks after his fathers death. But
a rich bachelor uncle, Sardis Birch
ard, became a father to the fatherless
boy, sent him to college in Ohio and
to the Harvard Law school, and final
ly leaving him his house and fortune
two years before the nephew's nom
ination for president.
This, then, is no story of a running
fight with poverty and ignorance.
None of the presidents has tread a
straighter, a narrower or a smoother
path to the White House. The story
teller is thrown into despair at the
outset by the assurance of one of
Hayes college mates. Stanley Mat

Earlhan

The annual tug-of-war between the
freshmen and sophomore classes will
be held Tuesday at 4 p. RI. Clear
Creek, the scene of many of Earl
hams activities, will be the place OF
battle. No prediction can be made
of the outcome but both classes are
confident. Last year the freshmen
were victorious and the sophomores
were forced to sink or SWIM" The
girls of both classes will be on hand to
give vocal encouragement to the com.
batants.
A dinner, for all faculty members
and officers of the college, and Mrs.

Dental nomination by just such a mar.
row mischance!
When the balcting came the next
day, Hayes remained fourth and fifth
through four ballots. He was nomin'
ated on the seventh only when the
field was forced to combine upon some
one in order to beat Blaine, who had
risen to within 80 votes of victory.
Amid all the confusion and intrigu-
ing the convention followed the cold
logic of the situation. The Republi-
can party was sadly divided by fac
lions and sadly discredited by scan
dals. Hayes had no part in any of the
quarrels and no responsibility for the
corruption at Washington.
Flounderiag in hard times, the coun-
try was tired of the old war cries
and was ready to turn to new ques-
tons. The first of these was the cur
rency, which had been inflated and
demoralized by the war, and Hayes
had carried Ohio for governor in the
fall before on hard money platform.
He was the logical candidate for pres
ident, perhaps the only Republican
who had any chance to win at the
polls.

new ARREST ADDS
IMPETUS To PROBE
OF BOMB MYSTERY

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Leon Konkel,
a steam filter. the man who gave the
Pittsburg authorities the information
that lead to the arrest there last night
of Florean Zelenka, Brooklyn, in con-
nection with the Wall street bomb ex-
plosion, arrived here today from Pitts
burg, and told his story to the federal
authorities.
After questioning Konkel, officials
declared that he had given them no
information that tended to connect
Zelenka directly with the Wall street
explosion.
May Solve Problem
Information obtained from Florean
Zelenka, of Brooklyn, arrested with a
quantity of dynamite in his possession,
may lead to solution of the Wall
street explosion, according to local po-
lice and government agents. Cues
tioning of Zelenka, who was taken at
a hotel after a fight with the police,
continued until early this morning.
He had been enroute from Cincinnati
to New York, and his remarks on the
train to an identified man who called
the police, brought about his arrest.
1t was claimed, clues Zelenka furn-
ished may lead to scores of arrests in
Brooklyn and New York. He could
furnish no good reason, police said,
for having the explosive in his posses
sion, and is alleged to have remarked
TO a companion on the train, tell
them / will have the stuff there to-
morrow" Another remark attributed
to him as he was being placed in his
cell was: See what we did in Wall
street Next time it will be bigger
and more terrible. The last was only
a start"
