Congressman Sol Bloom of New

Congressman Bloom stated.
Mr.. Bloom said that he had been
approached by Washington hotel

proposed exposition must be secured

AT least five years before the
exposition Washington would be

the American forces had to cross it.
As it could not be forded at any
point, passage had to be made over
logs. The river was not far from
the foot Of San Juan Hill where the
Spaniards were entrenched. The
crossing had to be made under heavy
fire from the guns of the enemy.
The soldiers of one company of the
Ninth were becoming scattered ard
it did not seem that the company
commander could muster a sufficient
number of his men to continue the
advance. He stopped near the river
and ordered his men to fall in. line:
Then he had his non-commissioned
officers round up stragglers.

Finally he hau his entire company

Colonel Frazier joined the Ninth

: Keep up the Fire"

| Keep up the Fire"
Out of the bloody battle of Ten
tsin was born this motto of the
| ficcrs Club of the Ninth Infantry
at Fort Sam Houston, Lieut.. Col.
Joseph Frazier, retired, who was a
first lieutenant in the Ninth at the
time of that battle and in whose arms
Col. Emerson ii. Liscum lay dying
ut the time he uttered these immortal
words, told of the manner in which
the commander of the regiment met
his death.
Approximately half of the men and
Offices in the Ninth advanced with
other allied troops against the
trenches of the Boxers, according to
Colonel Frazier. When they reached
point about 20 yards from the
trenches of the enemy, they found
their progress blocked by ditch
filled with water. They took cover
back of a mud wall that ran a.ong
this ditch.
Color Bearer Wounded. e.
Early in the morning of that day,
July 13, 1000, the color bearer of
the Ninth was wounded. Colonel
Liscum. who was in command of the
regiment, took the flag from the hand
of the wounded soldier, carried 1t to
where Colonel Frazier was standing
and told him to select another man
to act in the wounded mans place.
Colonel Frazier did as directed.
Colonel Liscum passed on down the
lines. unmindful of the heavy fire of
the Boxers. In a short time he re
turned to n point near were Colonel
Frazier was stationed. Colonel F'raz-
Ter cautioned him to be careful. but
Colonel Liscum only smiled and re-
manned in front of his line.
A moment later a soldier called
Colonel Frazier's attention TO the fact
that Colonel Liscum had been shot
down. He fastened to where the
commander lay and found that he
had been wounded in the stomach.
Within 20 minutes after he was
wounded, he bled to death internal
ly.
His Dying Words.
"Keep up the fire on that loop
holed brick house." were the last
words he uttered.
The fighting continued until dark.
and the Boxers retreated that night
to a place several miles distant. Sub
sequent measurements of the ditch
that separated the two lines, showed
that it was 20 yards wide and 20
feet deep at the shallowest point.

He Holds Balance of Power.
The politicians know today that Mr..
LaFollette must be taken seriously AT
last. There was time when ne
stood alone in the Senate. But one
by one his tribe" has been increased
until now he can rally a dozen or
more senators to his support and
there is no gainsaying the fact that
the ''balance of power rests IN MS
hands. This was shown when he dc
tated the defeat of Senator Cummins
of Iowa for the craftsmanship OF the
Interstate Commerce Committee and
helped to put a Democrat in charge
OF that important BODY of the Senate
"The so-called LaFollette menace
il taken more seriously this year
than ever before and rarity managers
are beginning TO figure how. much
support the senator will gain and
where he will gain it. ..
The Democrats naturally are iubi-
liant over the LaFollette plans. Ihey
figure that il he can prove strong
enough to carry a few of the north
western states he will take just so
much away from the Republican cam
didate. They do not regard Mr.. La
Toilette as a real threat. but are hope
full he may help defeat the regular
Republican nominee. The Republican
PARTY managers assert that While
Minnesota has sent two farmer-labor
senators to Washington. that state is
solidly and soundly Republican on the
presidency and will vote fo- the regu-
lar nominee instead Of t3e Independent
LeFollette.
His Chance Has Come.
Mr. LaFollette believes, however,
that his great chance has come. The
people are in a fog about Washing

President Coolidge's hackers say
that his campaign for the nomination
is running along smoothly and will
not be affected by the laFollette plans
because the latter will run independ-
