Senator Owens address on Seven
Years of Democracy" was received
with wild enthusiasm and he was ten
dered the congratulations and good
wishes of the assembled thousands af-
ter hte banquet.
Leading political dOpesters appar-
emily are confident that Colonel
Bryan will be the biggest single power
in the San Francisco convention and
that his advocacy of the presidential
campaign for Owen constitutes the
most marked forward step by any of
the ~aspirants. They point out that
BRYAN dominated the Baltimore con-
vention, just as he has swayed every
democratic national assemblage since
his nomination in 1896 put him to the
forefront of democracy and they be-
lieve that with Bryan as his counselor
and pilot through the pre-cOnvention
campaign and in the days of the big
meeting at Frisco in June that Sen
ator Owen stands today head and
shoulders above al others who have
been mentioned as presidential can

Spreading Propaganda
For Senator Robft L. Owen

Oklahoma City, Okla, April 10
Officers and workers in the Owen for
president organization consider that
Senator Robert L. Owens candidacy
for the democratic presidential NOM
nation was given a tremendous push
forward at Salt Lake City when Will
liam Jennings Bryan, at the jefferson
State banquet in that city said:
"Of all the democrats in the United
States there is none whom / would
rahtre support for president than Sen
ator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma"
/ Following upon ten heels of Colo
mel Bryan's statement that he can see
no reason why he should be called in
to the presidential contest, it is con-
sidered that his laudatory remarks
about the Oklahoma statesman are
equal to a formal announcement of
support. Continuing, Colonel Bryan
said:
Senator Owen has been a pioneer
in the advocation of all reforms of
the democratic party since he entered
national politics and his ideals and de-
votion to the principles of the party
and to A-mericanism. and democracy
make him in my estimation, worthy
to be president of the United States"
In closing, Colonel Bryan said:
"The democratic party has left the
United States at the top of the world
today and we must get away from de-
lay and nominate the candidate who
will meet the needs Of the present,
hold up the ideals of the party in the
past and be equipped to meet all the
greater questions and high purposes
which the party must face and Sena-

which. Is by no means rare in American
life, though It is seldom so well novel
ized as by Jennie Irene Mix. The hero
inc Is n girl with n musical talent which
is smothered in the boom town OF her
origin. SO she migrates as near as she
can to the Metropolitan Opera House,
Carnegie Hall and the artistic congeries
Of Manhattan. Her experiences there,
her reactions to culture and cults, her
endeavors to remove the various i'm ,.
peding bushels from her talent, are told
with a nice sense of proportion and
glinting humor. Miss Mix apparently
knows the life. She Is not "kidded' by
pseudo -geniuses, but she is tolerant In
her attitudes. And she has written a
really worth while story with new
angles on old material.
The mysterious and mystic and mys.
tifying Orient is the background and
the impulse Of "The Eye Of Zeitoon,
-oen of Talbot Munday's completes OF
mystery, adventure and romance. Mr..
Munday does this sort of story very well
with "reminiscences of the creepy thrills
and chills of Rider Haggard, but with
out any imitation of Allan Quatermain,
Ayesha and the other heroes and sor =
ceresses of Haggard's classics of their
kind. A diabolical woman who has

ure. And there is hero who. Is a
hero, resourceful, intrepid, and other
characters who are much better devised
and developed than is customary in
purely adventure stories. There is a
serious touch. too, concerning the hardi :
hood Of the Armenians in their conflict
with the Turks. An engaging and en-
thralling story is this.

Van Loans Yarns Of Fistiand

The late Charles Il. Van Loan was
an III round athlete when it came to
writing sports fiction. Some Of the best
baseball short stories ever penned arc
those in "Score BY Innings" and the
"Old Man Curray'' series are splendid
yarns of the track. His posthumous
volume Taking the Count" is rich
and recondite record of happenings in
the squared circle. In style and form,
In all the externals of short fiction,
these readable pieces are sharply clean
cut, bristling with the racy humor Of
the ring and its hand picked, richly
colored language. But beneath the sur
face it is the homely frailties and vir-
tues of mankind that are the design on
which Mr.. Van Loan weaves the threads
of his tales Of sport life. They have
verify Of life and verisimilitude to, their
personages and environment.

NEW BOOKS PR RAISING WOOD.
ROOSEVELT AND WILSON
John j. Leary Js Diary Of T. RS Private Conversations
Made Pubic-A Southerner the President and
Campaign Biography

ficiently complete survey of the years
preceding, to prepare the reader for the
fuller discussion Of the career of Mr..
Wilson as a national figure. The book.
however, lacks that judicial temper
which one would like to find in such a
work. Perhaps this Is because Profes
sor Dodd Is so near to the events he
describes that neither he nor any one else
can look ut them with the impartial
view Of tbe> historian. Democrats and
southerners will doubtless find the book
very much to their taste. Republicans
and northerners could read It with
profit, for it discloses a point of view
which it is educational to consider,
whether one occupies 1t or not.
WOODROW WILSON AND HIS WORK. BY

If Leonard Wood is not nominated
for the presidency it will not be for
lack Of campaign biographies. -Four

Is by John q. Holme, Washington
newspaper writer. Mr.. Holme in 225
pages has told the romantic story of the
rise from obscurity to world fame of
the boy born in New England fifty nine
years ago. Aside from its relation to the
political campaign the book is an in
spring story Of achievement typically
American, for it shows how man by
sheer merit can force himself upward
from the mass and win the recognition
of the world. Mr.. Holme has given us
nothing not known before. He has
merely put the story into an entertain
ing narrative.
A fifth book about General Wood
which is so thin that it hardly deserves
to be called a book at all. is by Herman
Hagedorn. He calls it "That Human
Being, Leonard Wood" and in it he
has attempted with distinguished sue
cess to present picture of the man.
The story of how General Wood settled
the labor trouble in Gary is told so fully
that it ought to be instructive to every
executive officer charged with thel duty
of keeping order. Those who d5 not
wish to spend the time to read the larger
volumes will find in Mr.. Hagedorn' 3
book just that picture of the man for
which they have been seeking.
