THINGS WOMEN
WANT TO KNOW

Each day is given, with it's correct
answer. one question asked the stu
dents at the Chicago School of Po1iti-
cal Education for Women.
How are the national nominating
conventions organized? How many
delegates in each?
The number of delegates in the
national conventions, who in 19 states
will be either selected or instructed
by primary elections, are determined
by the national committees. The old
rule has been that each state is enti-
tied to twice as many delegates as
it has electoral votes. That
still holds good with the Demo
Gratis, but owing to the fact that in
certain Southern states the Republi-
can vote is disproportionately small,
a new apportionment was made, cut
ting down the number of delegates to
the Republican national convention
from Democratic states.

will be but the badge of its shame.
Nations cannot be selfish any more
than individuals. If it be the infamy
of man to live only for himself, is
it any less the infamy of nation to
live only for itself? What is individ-
ually base can never be nationally re-
spectacle. What degrades a citizen
can never ennoble a country.
America cannot shirk it's response
bility for Europe. We may banker
after a splendid isolation, but the ap-
petite is not to our credit. We may
try to keep out of trouble, but the
contagion spreads, and there is no
way under heaven today for a coun-
try to stay half decent and play the
part of a hermit. We may declaim

"CROWN OF THORNS" LET BRYAN WIN
IN 1896 DARK HORSE CONVENTION
ANOTHER OF gibson GARDENERS CONVENTION STORIES
BY gibson GARDNER.

The Chicago Democratic conven-
ton Of 1896 was a dark horse con
vention. William J. Bryan was the
! dark horse OF that affair, emerging
as youngster to figure in the con
test as the boy orator Of the Platte,
and to get the country by the ears
with ms discussion of unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio of I6 to |
ana his deunciations-very eloquent
denunclatiOns-of corporations and
trusts.
The Bryan nomination was the
elimination of a movement in the
party to overthrow the machine con-
/ troll of the Democratic party by the
old Cleveland Democracy. David B.
Hill of New York. and others bossed
the regular organization Democrats.
All the early functioning of the con-
ventiOn was under the regular old
guard auspices 1t was tame and
proper and avoided the subject of
free silver and hard times.
But there were present among the
delegates many from the west whose
hearts were filled with protest and
who had worked laboriously and long
to spread the idea that the Democrat
ic candidate must voice the opinions
of the discontented rural population
Wheat was selling for less than a
dollar a bushel, and other farm prod
ucts in proportion.
Silver was much more plentiful
than gold, and, if it were all coined
into dollars, the farmer felt that
there would be more dollars with
which to pay mortgages and buy
wheat and that in some way his con-
dition would be bettered.
And this clamor voiced itself in
demand for the unlimited coinage
of silver in the ration of Is to /.
Hill, and others of the older leaders
of the Democratic party, stood
against this political and economic
heresy, as they regarded it, and tried
to keep the wild men from the west
from running away with the conven-
ton. They had controlled the con-
vention up to the time when Bryan
got the platform.
There were various people men
toned for nomination, but none of
them had a strong following. In his
famous speech in defense of free sill
yer, Bryan drew the picture of the
sufferings of the people he had lived
among and denounced the "crime of
49," which had limited the amount
of silver coinage. The concluding
paragraph of his speech was:
eve shall answer their demand
for the gold standard by saying to
them, You shall not press down upon

KIND OF MEN WOMEN WILL CHOOSE

OUTSIDE OF OLD POLITICAL PARTIES

ris County Branch, State Charities

Chairman National Woman's
Party

Harty.
Today out of the great political
discussion of various candidates we
hear a great deal of the personality
of this or that man, and very little
of the big issues involved in the com
ing campaign-issues which in the
history of this country have never
assumed more important form |
believe that only after a widespread
and intelligent discussion of these is
sues will we find the national leader
we need at this crisis in our countrv's
affairs
Result of Misgovernment
One of the results of our recent
years of misgovernment has been to
awaken demand for ministry
which shall be directly responsible to
the people. The invisible govern
ment, which is, in fact, political
monopoly. MUST GO.
Men and women are beginning to
realize that in a democracy the peo-
pie are the government, and with the
individual voter rests the decision as
to what form that government shall
take.
If the women Of the entire coun-

they will certainly have wonderful
opportunity Of making a real i'm.
preston on the country provided
they realize the necessity of careful
thought before making up their
minds.
Principles of Democracy.
In the judgment of many thinking
men and women, the two old parties
are breaking up and crumbling away.
While both old political parties are
using every inducement to secure the
votes Of women, it is to be hoped
that those who fought so long for
political equality, will not forget the
fundamental principles of democracy
on which their fight was waged and
won, and will refuse to ally them
selves with those reactionary forces
which denied freedom to women until
pushed to the wall, and only acted in
the hope Of retaining their power.
Personally | am of the opinion that
they saw the light too late.

CORN CROP IN COUNTY
SURPRISINGLY LARGE

The crop in Ohio County, notwith-
standing the very unfavorable sea-
son, is very large. Not big crop as
a matter of course compared with ia
vorable seasons, but extremely big
for this year and far beyond that of
last year. Numbers of farmers sue
ceeded in getting out all they wish
ed or intended to plant. Upon the
larger farms it was made possible by
the introduction of tractors, in no
other way could ii have been done.
Some farmers are busily engaged
in cultivating their first planting, and
should the country be blessed with a
very late fall and absence of frost
this section may count itself fortu-
nate on the acreage, and the maturing
of all corn planted will place us in
much better condition than experience
ed last year

CUBANS WANT "a
CENTS FOR SUGAR

Havana, June 30.-Cuban cane
growers, sugar mill owners and brok-
ers. claiming to control the sale of
2,1SO,000 sacks of unsold sugar,
were on record today as definitely
pledged not to offer any more sugar
for sale until the price had reached
"a cents pound, the level reached
during the last half of May.
This decision was reached at mass
meeting last night, which was pre-
sided over by Miguel Arrange. presi-
dent of the Association of Hacenda-
dos and Colonos of Cuba. At this
meeting a committee of twelve, head
ed by Arrange, was selected to act as
the exclusive selling agncy of those
represented at the melting. Partici-
pants pledged themselves TO withdraw
from the market all offers for the
sale of sugar and to sell none ex-
cept through the medium of the COM
mittee. which is pledged to make no
sales for less than "a cents a pound.
The amount of unsold Cuban sugar
was estimated by member of the
selling committee at 100000 sacks,
their holdings of 2,1S0.0O0 sacks
leaving only 1,740.OOO sacks under
outside control. Efforts are being
made to bring these into the pool.
