The sheriff reflected. "Tu have to
lock you up, Dave"
"Sure. But I've told you the straight
Of 1t. Would you mind sendin' some
one out to the Clifford place to tell the
young ladies that it's all right far as
they're concerned?"
"Pll send some one soon as I can"
Better JUS put it that we quar-
relied an killed him. No use worryin'
them with what told you. l wanted
you to know the facts, but there's no
need Of spreading 'em broadcast"
The sheriff assented.
A puncher riding the grub line
passed the Circle Cross and stopped
at the clubhouse.
II would Of liked to a-got home, but
l reckon I'll kick in here tonight" he
told himself plaintively.
Jasper came to the doorway. "'Lo,
Bud! Light an look at yore saddle"
he invited.

"For forty plunks, in a stud game.

Gitner had drifted into the room and
seated himself at the table. Anything
new in town?" he asked.
why no, reckon not. Except
about Dave Stone"
"What about him?''
Both Of the cowpuncher's hosts had
become instantly intent, but he failed
to notice it.
"Why, he's been arrested for KILN
Tom McArdle. He rode in today an
confessed to Hank LIE Page that he
done it. They had some kind of a
row an he plugged Tom"
Jasper drove a clenched fist down
on the table. He's lynn, to get that
Clifford girl out Of it. Why, he couldn't
a-done it. We practically caught her."
The eyes of Gitner met those of
Stark. A sly and furtive cunning
filled them. The germ Of an idea was
filtering into that brutalized brain.
II dunno, JAS Maybe he could.
There was somethin' funny about the
way he looked when he come outa that
manzanita gulch, come to think of it.
He didn't really act surprised when he
saw Tom lynn there. He played like
he was, seems to me. O. course if he
waylaid Tom from the brush"
Jasper started. The idea and it's
possibilities had come home to him. If
it could be made to appear that Stone
had shot Tom McArdle without giving
him a chance for his life the Texan
could be got rid Of quickly. 1t was
country of swift action. Stones repu-
tation as dad man" would tell
against him. Sentiment could be
worked up. He had delivered himself
into their hands.

was that he'd riled her so that she'd
shot at him an he'd pretended to fall
from his horse over dugway like he
was dead. l asked him what he'd said
to make her so mad. He'd told her
he was coming up to the ranch to see
her lii sister,"
The Texan stopped. He looked out
of the open door at a freight outfit
coming down the dusty street. The
mule skinner was using raucous and
explosive language. Dave Stone did
not see him except automatically. An
other picture filled his vision.

Men Who "Make" Presidents: No. G. Bryan, The Peerless Leader" Of Forlorn Hopes

Clark gained not another vote. His strength began to wane. It was not necessary to bring out q dark horse" to break a Wilson, Clark deadlock. Roger Sullivan. who had had to persuade Wilson's pessimistic manager, Billy Me- Combs, not to release his dele- gates, swung the Illinois delega- ton to the New Jersey governor at a psychological moment.
 Bryan's prestige never was higher than after that convention. He became Wilson's secretary of state and helped many of his own progressive measures go through Congress in the first Wilson term. He also was a potent factor in the passage of the prohibition amend ment.
 After his resignation as secre- tary of state--a post in which his simple, quaint habits of thought and act made many glad that he hadn't been elected president - Bryan became best known as a crusader for prohibition and an evangelist for the Biblical story O. creation.
 At San Francisco in 1920 he was delegate and again was ar rayed against the eastern bosses. His chief contribution was the defeat of their wet plank. al- though his own dry plank also failed. With the important aid of Murphy. Taggart and George Brennan of Illinois; James M. Cox of Ohio, who was moist rather than dry. was nominated.
 rnnuantto. nrnuULk nor Al Smith out as the real boss Murphy where to get off. He was only a favorite son in 1920 but in 1924 at New York he was the man whom Murphy, Brennan, Taggart and Frank Hague of New Jersey got behind in their at- tempt to block W. c. McAdoo--a struggle which turned into re- ligious fight of the worst kind. Bryan vigorously supported Me- Adoo, influenced by his progress sivism and dryness. He might well have been the force to put McAdoo over had McAdoo's Ku Kiux Klan support not combined to defeat him with the pre-con- vention revelation that McAdoo had been on E. l.. Doheny's pay roll at $50.000 year
 Bryan's last notable piece of convention oratory was in opposi- ton to the resolution which would have denounced the klan. Again he was the object of hysterical im- precautions from the machine dele- gates. The speech was not one of Bryan's best efforts. although the resolution was defeated.

ashington.-William Jennings
 Bryan guided the democratic party
 in i've national conventions. In two
 others he played important, dra-
 matic roles.
 Never elected to high office. new .er able to hand out even fourth class post office to a follower, he held enormous political power
 over longer period than any oth-
 CT private citizen before or since
 his time.
 Bryan was a sincere but prac-
 tfcai politician of neither great mental depth or political wisdom.
 He had a large and devoted per- .sonal following which was often q majority in the democratic party.
 But he never could attract ma-
 jority of American voters.
 He held his followers by sheer fty, simplicity, courage and pow erful, magnetic personality Wnlcn was coupled with marveious voice of rare. inspirational quailty.
 He was a crusader whose mere ap- peal attracted armies. ,
 No man ever rose to such thrill. ing. effective heights in national .poiitical conventions. Anyone wno saw or heard him in 1898 or lyo4 or 1912 or 1924 could never forget him. - .o

corporation of q gold money plank. Opposed to a combination which had plotted against him many months in advance, he was still the party's biggest single factor. r
 Parker was beaten so badly that Bryan's nomination was inevitable in 1908. It appears that after his defeat that year by Taft he virtu- ally abandoned bis presidential ann bitions. But in 1912 he gave the country Woodrow Wilson in the last great high spot of an amazing career.
 Champ Clark stands in history as the candidate who was kept from a nomination after receiving n con- vention majority. Bryan was the man who did the job.
 Never was more. brilliant. re- sourceful fighter than Clark. His sheer audacity, his personality. his popular strength, his extraordinary generalship combined to make monkeys of the machine bosses. Among the latter were Charlie Murphy of Tammany hall. with whom Clark had an advance agree ment: Tom Taggart of Indiana and Roger Sullivan of Illinois. who eventually turned to Wilson in one of the important breaks.
 Bryan favored Wilson, who had demanded a convention of progress sives," although he was part of q Nebraska delegation instructed for Clark. He considered Harmon of Ohio and Underwood of Alabama to be reactiOnaries and was espe- cialIy anxious to see them defeated.
 With Bryan as central figure, the convention quickly took on the aspect of contest between the ma chine and anti-machinc forces--be-, tween reactionaries and progress sives. the people versus the bosses" The Bryan Wilson group was demanding direct election of senators. antitrust laws, income

 Bryan was triumphant, however. from then one. An unprecedent- ed flood of protesting telegrams poured in from Bryan and Wilson groups everywhere. Delegates paid heed. Ciark's managers rushed to persuade Bryan of 4 Clark's pro- gressivism, offering him the per- manent chairmanship or whatever he wanted.
 Bryan, scornful. sprang next a resolution to denounce J. P. Mor- man, August Belmont and Thomas r. Ryan and to kick the last two out of the convention Again the cdbtSGH uEieBhtCS cItCnihcu cursed and again they failed to howl Bryan down. The resolution. minus the kicking out part, passed overwhelmingly.
 Early balloting found Clark well in the lead. New York swung from Harmon 10 Clark on the 10th, giv- ing him the majority which was expected to mean his nomination.
 Then rose William Jennings Bryan in an historic moment. He was not in order but Chairman Ollie James recognized him and changed the future.
 He announced that since Tam many had gone to Clark he would have none of Clark. He would break his instructions and vote for Wilson.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-06-14

Meanwhile Glenn Shaver of West Virginia, a fairly shrewd. amia- ble fellow. and other friends of John W. Davis had been talking up Davis with every delegation. Bryan had attacked Davis as a corporation lawyer. but Shaver built up a great second choice strength and he was nominated after more than 100 ballots.
 Several friends of McAdoo fe- fused the vice presidential nomi- nation and 1t was Brennan of H. linois who finally suggested Gov. ernor Charles w. Bryan of Ne braska with the idea that 1t would placate hls more illustrious broth- CT. Brother Bill was delighted. He turned to and supported the ill-fated ticket through the cam paign.
 William Jenpings Bryan died too soon to see yhe wet, Tammany- reared Smith nominated almost by exclamation at Houston four years ago. He probably couldn't have done much about 1t. He had been talking vaguely about the nomin- ation of congressman named W. A. Ayres from Kansas.

 Some laughed, though. early in 1928 when he wheeled out his little craft, unfolded its little wings and warmed up the little 90 horsepew- CT motor. Those who laughed didn't know of Bert Hinkler's skill. They were minority in the crowd that gathered outside of London to see him off on an attempt to fly solo to Australia.
