The Ages of the Standard Bearers

Apart from the interest that naturally at
caches to those who aspire to enter the White
house. or to become presiding officer of the
senate of the United States, people are con-
cerned. too, about the all absorbing question
This applies. Of course, to the standard bearers
chosen by the two great political parties in
the present campaign. o.
Perhaps the most unusual feature OF the
nominations Is the comparative youth Of
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democratic nomi-
nee for the vice presidency. According to the
constitution Of the United States, the president
and his running mate must be at least IS years
old, and Mr.. Roosevelt is only three years
above the mark. making him one of the young
est candidates in the couptry's history. He
was outdone in this respect, however, by Will
liam Jennings Bryan. who was only sc years
old wheu his oratorical genius swept the Demo-
cratic convention hall at Chicago. in 1896. and
resulted in the nomination of the boy orator
Of the Platte"
The other nominees conform more nearly
to the average age Of those who have been
elected to the highest Office in the land. Gov
ernor Cox is so years old; Senator Harding is
IS, and Governor Coolidge Is 4s. It will thus
be seen that the Democratic nominees are sew
eral years younger than their respective oppo-
nents on the Republican ticket Senator Hard
ing comes most nearly to the average age OF
American presidents, 54h years, and it hap
pens that his birthday. Nov 2, falls on cleo
ton day next fall. ~
Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest presi-
dent the United States ever had, - he was only
~ years old when he succeeded President
Mckinley. other presidents who were still in
the forties when they entered the highest Of
fee in the land were Polk, ~; Pierce, 4s;
! Grant, 4e; Garfield. 40, and Cleveland, Al.
Age rarely enters into the calculations Of
the convention delegates, unless the prospec-
| tive candidate should prove too far beyond the
average. The duties Of a president are &c
strenuous and entail such . strain upon the
physical condition of the incumbent that there
is some 'hesitancy about selecting . nominee
who has passed beyond the 10th milestone.

DRYS DETERMINED TO DRAFT
 BRYAN
Will Force Nomination Upon Him
 Unless He Firmly Declines

Lincoln, Neb., July 20.-Leaders in various delegations to the Prohibit tion national convention tonight de- clared they will go into their first session tomorrow determined to nom- mate William Jennings Bryan for president, although they have received word indirectly from MT. Bryan that he does not want the nomination and does not consider 1t advisable for the party to place ticket in the field.
 The only thing that can avert an at tempt to stampede the convention for Bryan and name him by exclamation is for the Nebraskan to send word that he positively will not accept the nomination, according to state lead CTS. A telegram was sent to Mf. Bryan today informing him that un- less such statement is forthcoming his supporters will attempt to carry out their plans of placing him before the people on the dryest platform that can be framed.
 The decision to attempt to fc1ce the nomination on MT. Bryan was made late today after several seelet conferences of national committee men, delegates and friends of Mr. Bryan here.
 Yesterday the delegates appeared certain that ,lr. Bryan wc.lld accept Today g.t n of rational committee men were called into conference by Bryan's friends here and confidential ly informed that the Nebraskan did not want the nomination and that he did not want the convention to nom mate anyone, but merely to lay plans for work in congressional districts and loea. campaigns. The ProhibitionistS were told that Mir. Bryan felt he could carry only scattered districts in an election.
 The lapse in the Bryan boom during the early hours today revealed that Dan A. Poiing of New York, acting international president of the Chris tian Endeavor, will have considerable strength, as many delegations an- nounced his as their second choice, Bryan being first.

OPEN TOP CARS TO BE RETAIN
 ED HERE
Will Be Big Assistance in Hauling
 Road Building Material

The Interstate Highway Commits sion has notified the Arkansas High way Commission that railroads west of the Mississippi will not be called on to forward open top cars to the coal districts of the East. This makes it probable that cars for the trans portation of road building materials in the state will be available in the near future, Y. P. Knott, state high way engineer said yesterday.
 Following the petition presented recently to the Interstate Commerce Commission by committee repre- senting the road interests of the state including commissioners of the I'm provement districts, taxpayers, engi- neers and members of the State Highway Department, an inspector was sent to Arkansas by the federal authorities to investigate the trans portation needs of the Highway De partment
 As a result of the inspection, F. c. Robbins, director of the Bureau of Service of the Interstate Commerce Commiss, Il, wrote MT. Knott yester- day as follows: The commission has issued orders requiring railroads east of the Mississippi river to fur nish open top cars suitable for coal loading, to coal mines in preference to any other use. However, as this order does not affect the lines west of the river, no reason is seen why the railroads west of the river may not distribute fair share of availa- ble open top cars to sand and gravel shippers"
 The request of the committee was not for priority order, but for a fair share of open top cars to protect the highway work now under construc- tion, and to prevent damage to roads and crops which would suffer from delay in construction work
 Although the original order of the Interstate Commerce Commission re- quired the transfer of open top cars for period of 20 days, and the time limit has already expired, the work of redistributing available cars has caused delay in the road building program of the state, MT. Knott said, and 1t was feared that the supplement tary order requiring the shipment of open top cars to the lake regions might still further interfere with the work of the HighTay Department here
