to sweep every precinct in the
penitentiary. and that neither Mr..

adversaries. would receive q single

newspaper wag who said. at the
beginning Of the campaign, that
"Cox would make his speeches
from the tail end of a train. Hard
ing would appeal for votes from
his front porch. while would
make my bid for the support Of
the electorate from a front cell" :"
To this II was added that my
political conferees would have the
advantage Of knowing where I
stood, and that they would always
find me in when they wanted to

However, in the congressional convention Of my district

Now a word about ourselves.

almost regular procession, The In

that any other journal in the world
might we'll envy. But that Is not
enough; we feel It to be our sacred
obligation to keep the flag OF free

that the present editor. too, may
have before long to follow in the
footsteps Of his illustrious prede-
cessors; in that case we assur' our
readers that men and women
workers are not wanting who are
sworn to keep the tradition OF the
journal intact. It is not without
considerable hesitation that VIC as
sumo charge Of the paper at the
present moment, when everything
seems to be in the melting-pot and
troublous waters threaten to

CONVICTS GET A THRILL
nURING the year previous to
the convention many Of the
party papers carried the slogan,
From the Prison to the White
House." and was told by many
Of my visitors and correspondents
that ] would be the choice of
the rank and file of the party for
President This was an honor
which had never sought; in
fact. I had my own personal
reasons for not wishing to be the
standard bearer, reasons which
dated back to the time when I
was q member Of the Indiana
legislature.
! made . resolution to myself
that ] would never again be q
candidate for q public office, pre-
ferrins to devote my energies
20 tasks Immediately identified
with the Industrial side Of the
labor movement The party to
which I gave allegiance chose
otherwise, thus setting aside my
personal wishes.
Men had been nominated for
President who were born in log
cabins to testify to their lowiy
origin, but never before had such
o nomination been conferred upon
an imprisoned convict. II was
indeed an unprecedented distinc-
tion which had been bestowed
upon me, and the reader may
place his own Interpretation upon
its significance.
Next In order was the visit to
the prison Of the committee on
notification, : the department at
