CROWN OF THORNS

nOUBTS of the identity OF the
- leading presidential candidates,
so thoroughly dispelled early IN
1886, sometimes have held on to the
midst of the conventions.
So it was that the Democratic
gathering of 1896 provided ire
mendous upset, giving the party
William Jennings Bryan, a leader
who literally was to wear a Grown
Of thorns" through three unsuc-
cessful campaigns.
No less than 10 candidates for
the Democratic nomination were
regarded seriously in 1896 and
the usual stableful of dark horses
was present.
"Pitchfork Ben" Tillman Of
South Carolina, whose hat was def
initely in the ring, prodded the del
egates UNI lercifully and the wordy
battles from the platform spread
to one fist fight after another on the
floor. Then Bryan was recognized.
eve are fighting in defense OF
our homes, our families, and pos
terity," he detained. 1--WE have
petitioned and our petitions have
been scorned. We have entreated
and our entreatics have been dis
regarded. We have begged and
they have Knocked us when our
calamity came. We beg no more,
we entreat no longer, we petition
no more-we defy them!"
His remarks were on the finan-
cial plank of the Democratic plat
form and Bryan fired them directly
at the delegation from New York.
Then he closed with the defiance
which still rings down the corri-
doris of time: "You shall not press
down upon the brow of labor this
crown of thorns, you shall not cru
city mankind upon cross OF gold"
He stopped the SHOW" The
delegates went wild. When the
business of the convention could be
resumed the day following, Bryan
was nominated.
His defeat by Mckinley, two sue
ceeding failures for the presiden-
cy, in truth settled a crown of
thorns upon the brow of Bryan
which he was doomed to wear I'm
til the last public act of his life
participation in the famous "mon-
key" trial down in Dayton, Tennes-
see. He held, and he swayed, null
titudes with the power of his ora
tory, but on election day he could
not mark their ballots for them.

Bapa Season Starts,

The 1939-1940 rutabaga season was
officially opened here the first of this
week when A. Henriksen purchased
the first load from Carl Pearson, fol-
lowed few minutes later by load
from Marius T. Johansen. Mr.. Hen
riksen will ship his first carload of
the season from here today. Louis
Olsen left this morning with small
truckload of washed bagas for the
Twin Cities. The price at this time
is SIS per ton, but the demand at
this figure is not strong. Mr.. Pear
sons early bagas suffered consider
ably from a hailstorm here when
the plants were only few inches
tall, but he "nursed" them along ten
derby and is pleased to have about
seven tons to the acre which at SIS
per ton would make $105 per acre.
John Thinesen of Sandstone, was in
Askov last week and picked up
few ton of bagas which bought $40
per ton to the producer. The bagas
being hauled in now look eXcep-
tionally well.

ceremonies for the Friday show and
Clellan Card, popular radio enter
tainer, will be master of ceremonies
for the Saturday show. These are
two separate shows with different
performers each day. The Friday
show will play at the Carlton county
fair Saturday and the Saturday show
will play there Sunday.
Novel Show Friday.
One of the most novel shows in the
history of fair business is scheduled
to make its appearance as a special
feature of the Pine county fair on
August Is when WCCO's Crossroads
Party will perform afternoon and eve
ming.
The Crossroads Party promises to
be something new in the way of fair
entertainment. Besides featuring out
standing radio name personalities like
Cedric Adams and others, the Cross
roads Party will present four very
unusual production numbers.
The opening will present the chorus
of girls and boys in rural costume in
a rhythm song and dance novelty SIM
liar to the old quadrille. AS another
novelty feature, the company pre-
sents the dashboard Blues, in which
the chorus of girls comes out on
the stage with their washboards and
tubs and describe the drudgery of
wash-day. This is soon followed by
the girls having change of heart,
stepping. in front of their washtubs
and manipulating their trick costumes
which present them in modern ward
robe after which they go into a fast
swing dance.
New Number.
Possibly one of the numbers in
Crossroads Party that has aroused
more comment nationally than any
other production number in recent
years is the famous dummy number
This number is divided into four
parts. First the girls, in sports
clothes, open with clever song and
dance, each girl parading a small
sized marionette with all the puppets
in line in unison. Second, the VEN
triloquist act presented by Ken Spen-
Ger, comes on with a standard VEN
triloquist dummy.
Third, the girls return with life
sized male dummies for special jit-
terbug number. Fourth, Clyde Sny-
der, master of ceremonies, comes on
with life sized female dummy and
does whirl-wind adagio. The finale,
the Gay Nineties number, is very COL
orful with period of costumes worn
by ladies of the gay nineties, with the
girls in tights, police gazette style,
the Rural Ramblers as barber shop
quartet, special style show, and a
fast cake-walk by the entire ensemble
These novel and humorous produc-
ton numbers are interviewer in the
program which, besides the person.
alities already mentioned, include
such famous headline attractions as
Charles Brugge, eccentric tumbler,
and Bruce Patterson, famous colored
wizard of the BANJO" formerly fea-
tured with Duke Ellington's orchestra
and in the motion picture, "Show
Boat" with Irene Dunn. All in all,
Crossroads Party will bring to the
Pine county fair on August ID, some
thing brand new in the way of fair
entertainment and something in the
way of show unit never before seen
in this territory.
