GREAT STRUGGLES IN
AMERICAN POLITICS

Champ Clerk, Speaker Of the House,
favorite son OF Missouri, and WOOD
row Wilson. Governor of New Jersey
Bryan was the most conspicuous
figure in every part OF the proceed
ings until the nominations were made.
and carried his points triumphantly
in all important matters. There were
thirteen men nominated. Under the
two-thirds rule 726 votes were neces-
sary for a choice. For twenty-nine
ballots Champ Clark had distinct
majority. woodrow Wilson was
nominated on the forty-sixth ballot.
Clark's decline was directly traceable
to a sensational incident in which
Bryan was the most conspicuous fig-
ure. He announced that as long as
the vote of New York was given to
Clark. he. who was under instructions
to support Clark. would withhold his
vote from that candidate and support
Wilson. Bryan it was who made
Wilson President.
The convention called to form the
new Roosevelt party was marked
with fervor. The delegates continu-
ally broke forth In song. religious and
patriotic, and they closed the session
by singing the ''Doxology." The con-
GLIDING sentence of Roosevelts CON
fession Of faith" was. I'VE stand at
Armageddon and we. battle for the
Lord" The Roosevelt program was
unanimously adopted. Roosevelt was
nominated by reclamation.

A LTHoUGH many men of national
prominence were mentioned for
the republican nomination in 1903
including Hughes. Root, Knox. Fair
banks. La Toilette, Cannon. Cum
minis. Foraker and Cortelyou-it was
early recognized that Roosevelt had
been grooming his Secretary Of War
and former governor Of the Philip
pines. William Howard Taft, as his
successor. Roosevelt was the only
President for whom there was a great
popular third-term boom. which was
given the quietus by his own terse
and uneQuivocal refusal to counte-
nance such a proposition.
The great commoner" dominated
his party. Long before the party
conventions were held it was recog-
nized that the opposing presidential
candidates would be Taft and Bryan.
Bryan at first announced he would
make q front porch" campaign and
Taft CAUSED it to be known that I'M
der no circumstances would he make
a stump-speech tour OF the country.
! Both changed their minds. Taft won
Roosevelt received and Bryan again
lost with 1,323.o0o more than Park
er's.
In 1912 a republican schism wrecked
the party-with Taft and Roosevelt as
the central figures of the most furi-
ously waged row that ever split an
American political party wide open.
The underlying cause was the super
strong personality OF Roosevelt with
a countless host Of ardent followers
unalterably opposed to accept any one
else as leader.
OF direct bearing upon the future
political history of the country was
| the election of Woodrow Wilson as
Governor OF New Jersey. In a state

tour of the country, involving $4,000

CHRISTMAS BELLS

What joyful tidings do they tell

Ills mid of night-who rings those bells7
Perhaps some doves there nesting.
And while each little bosom sWellS,
And warm, they touch with gentle wing
The tuneful metal, and 1t feels
So incubated it would swing
To life, and wake the world with peals

Those midnight bells, how sweet they
chime;
To hearts sttune they are sublime,
Nor spread they dread alarm around.
Lo! now / see, from East afar
A light shines through the steeples
frame.
IT'S brighter than the brightest star,
1t gilds the bells with golden flame;
There, too, see some cherubs cling !,
Fast hold the ropes. How fair they be!
They swing the bells and sweetly sing
This is the Christ's nativity
Wake every heart, join in their song

ANCIENT CHRISTMAS TOYS
Dolls That Delighted Children of Rome
and Greece in. Early Days Re-
Gently Excavated.

Rag dolls are as old as the hills and
SO are dolls with movable arms and
legs, toy dogs, rocking horses and a
host of other things that bring de-
light to the children on Christmas
morning.
Recent excavations in the ruins OF
ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt have
placed the British museum in posses
sion of an interesting assortment Of
these relics of early Christian days,
some of which may possibly have
been given to the children of the fol-
lowers of Christ at time when the
observation of Christmas day was an
innovation.
In the nursery Of newly excavated
house at Behnesa, Egypt, fairly well
preserved rag doll was found with
arms and legs still intact and painted
face. The doll is by no means beau
ty and does not compare with the
Christmas dolls of today, but neverthe-
less it must have brought joy to lit-
tie girls heart nearly 1000 years ago.
The jointed dolls of long ago wera
made to sit down, stand up and move
their arms, but they didn't close their
eyes or squeak mamma. Among the
toy dogs, horses and donkeys are some
made of stone and baked clay and
others carved out of wood.

Evidence of Attempt to Burn Portion

covered-Murder Mystery Baf-
files Police of Denver.

DEW er.-The terrified refusal of IN
Airedale dog to enter the basement Of
house in this city has brought to
light evidence of what the police au-
thorities believe may be the elew to
one of the most mysterious crimes in
the history Of the city. The right foot
Of a young white woman was found in
the furnace and there was abundant
evidence that the rest of the body had
been cremated. Ashes from the fur
nance were found buried in the soft
earth under the back porch.
A bloody corset cover, black army
necktie with dark stains upon it and
pieces of flannel underwear with ap-
parent bloodstains on them, were sift-
ed out Of the ashes and debris by the
police.
e Dog Shows Fright.
The discovery was made by James
Mcmillan who rented the house and
moved into Ii a few days before. Nc
MILAN tried to put the dog in the
basement, but the animal whined and
refused to remain there alone, show
Ing every evidence of extreme fright.
The peculiar conduct of the dog de-
cided Mr.. Mcmillan to investigate the
cellar. He found the foot and imme-
diately notified the police. A hasty in
vestigation by the police quickly con-
vinced them that crime had been
committed. The Airedale refused to
accompany the police to the basement
when they dug over portion of the
cellar in the expectation of finding
other traces of body. No bones were
found but oiled paper and ashes were
uncovered in generous quantities. The
police are trying to trace former occu-
