CHICAGO STADIUM, June 16
u:l5 a. M .--Flogging a dead
horse doesn't usually. do much
good. but the Republican organ
izers have laShcd their supporters
so indefatigably during the first
two days of the convention that
they have forced a good showing
Of spirit for the last lap.
It is fine object lessen gov
ernment not by the masses but by
mass emotion. It convinceS an
outsider forever that Americans
are as primitively emotional as
cannibals and reused by much
the same things--Shouting, stamp
ing. and the throb of political
tom toms.
To add to the fun, the gallery
has realized at last that it can
stop the show. It's roaring voices
thunder to the platform like
Niagara to the rocks, and are as
impossible to stem.
Word went round Chicago that
"the big fight is due to come
on" and for the first time the
Republican box office raked in al
most as many dollars as it ex-
pected. Certainly the people got
more for their money, than be-
fore. including three good fight
Garfield versus gallery, Indiana
versus the police, and an all-in
wrestling bout between couple
of dignified elderly delegates
from the State Washington, one
trying to drag the Washington
banner into the wet parade, and
the other refusing to play. They
were finally separated and their
knuckles raped by bored
policeman.
Seriously, though, are Ameri-
can politics really like this? is
the history of this country really
made by a Seething vortex Of
shouting men struggling over
pennants, drowning their speak
ers with boos and howls, march
ing insanely in a crazed process
sion every time a familiar name
strikes through to their logged
brains?
And why not, you might say.
When someone like Garfield as
serts without smile that repeal
would bring back conditions of
drunkenness of which our
younger generation know moth
ing, it is a pleasure to hear the
toughs in tho gallery jeer him out
of countenance.

luton Wednesday setting aside the
county's share for building of the
bridge.
Construction of the bridge will
make Mclean and Mercer counties
the beneficiary of a payroll of 100000
for each county. officials estimated
and would provide employment for
local men now receiving aid from the
county. In the last year, Mclean
county spent more than $4,000 for
poor relief.
The county's share Of the cost is
placed at $4,000 in the specifications
submitted by the state highway de-
partment. but engineers have ex-
pressed the opinion the amount will
hardly exceed $4,000, county COM
missioners said. OF this amount not
more than $4,000 will fall on the
present fiscal year. Mercer county's
share isSlightly less.
The Mclean county commissioners
have joined with the state highway
department In an effort to bring
about the early. construction of the
