Under the flare of matches watched

for you to tell it - unless you had
been blind for quite while"
Some day Henry Miller may open
up big mine. 1t is only good pros

the mineralized spot was there - and
Miller is totally blind!
From a short distance you would
never know he is sightless. His move
ments are not groping. He is an erect,
Ernedium-sized man about forty-eight.
Only a slight fogginess in his blue
eyes tells the tragedy of that lurking
terror for hard-rock miners, the
missed hole"
When shots of dynamite are set of,
the reports are counted, to check on
any sticks that may have missed
fire. But sometimes the count is wrong.
and then, returning to move the
broken rock, the miner strikes his pick
into the cap of live charge.
Henry Miller had been working in
sGoldfeld for sixteen years when such
an accident happened. The State In
dustrial Board allowed him a COM
pensation of $50 month for the loss
of his eyesight. He could have sat
around, growing old and useless. But
Henry Miller was a mining man, and
good one. Within six months he
bought group of claims beyond the
proven area, and started development.
How do you do it?" l asked him.
What's the secret? Do you depend
entirely on feeling the ore veins?"
He smiled. That's only part of it.

think a blind man can't mine. If you

ASbOClhLeC fIeSS Sbdu WIlIcIs
Numerous political movem n S
sprang up during the nineteenth CEN
tury to plague the old-line parties,
but only two assumed proportions OF
. major threat.
They were the Know -Nothings"
and the "Populists."
The American party, organized in
1882 under the official title OF "The
Supreme Order of the Star Spangled
Banner" originally was secret asso-
citation. The popular name Of Know
Nothings" arose from the fact its
members disclaimed any knowledge
concerning the organization.
Its primary object was to secure the
Government to those whom the party
considered genuine Americans. The
cry that Americans should rule
America" won thousands to its fold.
Major plank in the Know-Nothing
platform was extension of the period
for naturalization Of aliens to q years.
The Nothings soon became
powerful, carrying various State cleo
tions and electing several Representa-
tives to Congress.
For the presidential campaign of
1856, the party nominated Millard
Fillmore and A. j. DonelSon.
Comeback Falls Short.
Fillmore was an ex-PreSident at the
time. He had been elected Vice Presi-
dent in lS48 as a Whig and succeeded
to the presidency in 1850 with the
death of President Zachary Taylor,
serving until 1858.
His attempted comeback in 1856 as
KNOWN Nothing standard bearer failed.
Although the ticket received popu-
lar vote of 874,5 ,534, it gathered in only
eight electoral votes-those of Mary
land
The prediction of Horace Greeley,
made during the 1856 campaign. that
the Know-Nothing movement would
run its career rapidly and vanish as
suddenly as it appeared" proved true.
The "Populists," or Peoples party,
appeared on the national scene in 1891
to champion the cause of the farmer
and the working man. The platform
of the party demanded free coinage
of silver, issue of paper money to be
loaned directly to farmers on the Sc
curity of agricultural crops, abolition
of national banks, Government owner
ship of railroads, telegraphs and tele-
phones, a graduated income tax, and
prohibition of alien land ownership.
These principles were embodied in
the party platform at the national
convention in 1892 and James B.
Weaver of Iowa was nominated for
President. In the election Weaver re-
ceived more than million votes and
% votes in the electoral college. Sew
era1 of the party's congressional can
didateS were elected.
Roosevelt Carries On.
BY 1896, the Democratic party had
adopted so many of the principles ad-
vocated by the Populists that they in
dorsed the Democratic nominee for
the presidency, William Jennings
Bryan, but nominated their own can
didate for the vice presidency
Thomas z. Watson.
In the end the Populists lost the
greater part Of their following through
absorption into the liberal wing Of the
Democratic party. The Populist vote
In 1900 was only 50,030. 1t was in
creased to 1928 in 1904 because Of
the restoration to power Of the con-
servative wing of the Democratic
party.
After the overwhelming election of
Theodore Roosevelt in 1904, the Popu-
lists never figured as a potential fac
tor in American politics.

Clergy Were PoHed hr Republican County
They Were to 4 for LandOn-P Percentage Differed
 Quite Little From That of Literary Digest

Rev. Ira Williams, 11th on my list was out of town but by careful in- quiry I was able to ascertain that he IS Roosevelt man in a town and county which are hotly repub- lican. The Rev. Ira Williams k pastor.
 Wanted Names Silent
 Three of my preachers confided to me for whom they would vote but requested that I use the informa- tion only in my numerical tabula- tion and that they be not quoted. It appears that congregations are di- vided, although preponderantly re- publican, in Noblesville.
 I do not know how the Rev. Will Hams voted in 1882. But the remain ing 10 ministers divided this way: Hoover 2; Roosevelt 3. One of the Roosevelt voters of 1882, the Rev Carr M. Davis, pastor of the Afri- can Methodist Episcopal church, has switched to Governor Landon. One Hoover voter of 1882 has gone over to the democrats. He asked me moi to give his name.
 The Rev. L. E. Peyton, young pas tor of the United Brethern church who voted for MT. Hoover foul years ago will cast his vote thi. year for Norman Thomas. He is op. posed to "the private profit system. observed that among the pro. Landon ministers were those witt the most substantial appearing churches although several republi. can votes will be cast from shabby pulpitS in Noblesville.
 Rich Republican County
 The town is county seat of Ham, ilton County, a rich and republican agricultural area where some veal thy persons own model farms. Per- eron horses are a staple product George Ball, republican nationa, committeeman of Muncie, Ind, owns q Strawboard factory here.
 NobleSville probably was last irl the news when 1t was major sta tion on the underground railway by which pre-civil war abolitionists as- sisted slaves to escape from the south. There are a square and busy streets, modern trafflc signals ana an air of moderately prosperous comfort about Noblesville. Business I was told. is generally good. The county probably will go for Cover. nor Landon.
 Variety of Reasons
 Many ministers had a variety ot reasons for endorsing Governor Ian. don's candidacy, among them Roosevelt repeal of prohibition federal extravaganza. improper handling of relief, preservation oj the constitution. a suspicion that MT. Roosevelt Jeans toward Cath. olics", the fact that John N. Gar ner, would succeed MT. Roosevelt ii he did not survive a second term.
 Roosevelt supporters hurrahed fol the presidents sympathy for the rank and f1le." the desirability of a more equitable distribution oi wealth. prosperity, PWA. and pro- gross taward "a saving wage.
 The poll produced figures some- what different from the report some months ago of the Literary Digest that 70 per cent of the preachers of the United States opposed MT RooSevelt's reelection.
