Bayside Twenty-Five Years Ago

AS | sat alone in my cabin,
Thinking of days gone bye,
When sturgeon and shad were plehtilui
And living was not so hlgh.
| saw as in a vision
That seemed as clear as day,
Men / a known as Bayside,
But long since passed away.
| saw old Jontee Washington,
AS he ~oVerhauled his net,
Picking out moss and greentail knots,
Which made him fuss and fret.
And Uncle Israel DolboW,
And Uncle Peter Hughes,
Men who were always cheerful
And never had the blues.
And there was William WhlteseL
Best known as Catfish Bill,
A gentle and kindly man,
Of whom we knew no III.
And Captain Franklin H. Walker,
And Captain Jackie S. Black,
Two of the smartest fishermen
Who ever sailed a smack.
I saw Frank Ross and VIM. Kirk
Mending their sturgeon nets
Two of the best net members
That | have ever met.
saw old John T. Robinson,
Who loved a little girl.
He sang for us the donkey song,
And played the violin.
And little Samuel Gallagher,
Who fshed two sturgeon nets,
He lived in the red onion,
And always paid his debts.
I saw Ezekiel Gilman
RuDDlnR the loC'
Then poured it in the sleeves to draln'
And marked it where to go.
And there beside his office
Was Mr.. Charlie Brown,
One of the finest gentlemen
That ever came to town.
7 saw the sturgeon fishermen,
Who camped on Cubas Isle,
The camp of Mr.. Charlie Dolbow
And that of Peter Pyle.
John Culin and Jim Smalley,
And Robert Merlin, too,
Who camped upon this little Isle,
All fine men, good and true.
The ice plant and the old a mouse
That stood beside the Bay,
Where Masken Ewing bought up fish,
stored. and bailed the hay.
| saw great fleets of fishing skiffs,
Come down before the gale,
Like a great flock of sea gulls,
So snow-white was each sail.
And as | sat there dreaming
OF net and line I'M float,
| was brought from past to present
BY the chug of a motor boat.
In the dock beneath my ndoW
| heard the boatman shout,
The time had come for fishing
And the fleet was going out.

Harding and Coolidge The Nominees

The Republican national convention
in Chicago last Saturday nominated
for President Warren G.. Harding, who
has been U. S. Senator from Ohio dur
ing the past five years. The nomln-
alton was made on the tenth ballot
when Harding got 674.7 votes, Leonard
Wood 1915, Hiram Johnson 80.8,
Frank o. Lowden 120. Others re-
ceived a few votes on the last ballot.
Until the tenth ballot the contest
was between favorite candidates who
have enthusiastic personal supporters
because of their eommendable person
alities and principles they advocated
as leaders of men. On the 9th ballot
the vote was Wood 249.5, who had
287.5 on the first ballot and 314.5 his
highest on the fourth ballot. Hiram
Johnson, senator from California had
1885 on the first ballot rose to 4 on
the third and 80 on the 9th. Frank y.
Iowden, Governor of Illinois, had 209.5
on the first, Bib on the sixth and
seventh and 120 on the 9th. Harding
started with 65.5 on the first, 5o.5 on
the third and gradually gained votes
UP to 374.5 on the 9th,and 674.7 on the
10th which gave him the nomination.
The delegates numbered 1874 n 493
were necessary to a choice.
Calvin Coolidge, who was elected
Governor of Massachusetts, last Nov
ember by an immense majority, was
nominated for vice president on the
first ballot. He received 674.5 votes,
Irevine L. Lenroot, U. S. Senator
from Wisconsin, received 164.5, Hiram
johnson 68.5. Five others received a
few votes.
After the ninth ballot a recess was
taken when the ca5al of Republican
senators was held in private confer
ence and it was decided to centre all
their forces on Harding. In fact,
Harding's nomination was a dictation
bv the Senate cabal which has fought
President Wilson, and held up and null
lifted the Peace Treaty. Their dlcta-
tion was as imperious as much as they
ever accused President Wilson OF
having. -.
The Progressive element in the
party which was behind Gen. WOOD
and Hiram johnson, the old Roosevef'
progressive element, were squelched.
There is talk of a convention OF Fro
~gressive Republicans in Chicago July
10th. to nominate candidates which re-
present the progressive principles OF
Republicanism.

If you read the daily papers closely
you will notice the German propa-
ganda catering to the maudlin sympa-
thy of the weak-minded to overcome
the virile militarism of America for
righteousness which was shown dur
ing the World War. All this is done
to hinder having the peace terms en-
forced in the peace treaty which has
not been ratified by the U. S. Senate.
Congress has begun to hand back to
our enemies property confiscated dur
ing the war, owned by u alien
enemies. Do you approve of that?

President Wilson is rallied at as be-
ing obstinate because he does not go
back on the Peace Treaty he helped
make in Versailles. The first draft
was brought over and published. Crit
icisms were asked and some sugges-
lions were put in the revision. The
trouble is Wilson did it and he will not
fatter, bride nor buy Senators to en-
dorse a fundamental principle as true
as the ten commandments and as solid
as the rock of ages. Wilson did ac-
cording to what others advocated.
