This sort of <a thought lias also oome to the millions of Dem ocrats in this country and they have been doing their own thinking. They have stsed up the tempestuous and tumultuous campaign of some of the candidates on the Democratic ticket, also the quiet and ,gnaStSf|fsflwus campaign made by Champ dark who has been sticking to his knitting and staying on his job while other candidates were galavantlng all over the country, haranguing the people in the interest of their own nomination as well as the mendacious statements sent out from their headquarters. A good many of us hare stood on the cliffs that border the ocean and have seen the mighty waves lash themselves Into fnry and dash against the cliffs with mighty force. It is an awe inspiring spectacle but we must remember that all terrestrial heights and depths are measured from the calm level of the sea and not from billows. Thus, It means that the verdict of the people is being made by the calm firesides of sensible citizens of this Nation and npt In political meetings where they are being harangued and told everyt thing In the Interest of some one man. They have been thinking. That's why Champ Clark has been N winning delegates while attending to hla duties and others have been losing delegates by spending money for special trains and appealing to the people on the rostrum. It looks from ?this distance that Champ Clark is going Into convention with more votes than any o(!her y candidate, and that he will be nominated before the third ballot is over. /. . i. \ . . i Another Great Se First M.

When it was seen that his health was failing he returned home and went on the farm of his father "Rosedale" with 1 the hope that' the active duties re- 1 quired there would restore him. 1 Here his bright mind and fore- 1 thought at once exerted - itself and 1 the many improvements he inaug- i urated and prosecuted successfully 1 made him spoken of as the ideal | farmer. He possessed unusual bus- ' Iness ability and was always able to demonstrate this faculty In.whatever 1 position he occupied. Ukfe all men of ambition, he held on to the last 1 and was always at Mb post of duty until he was compelled to surrend- ' er and take to his bed. Since February last he had been confined to ] bed and although -he realised the end was speedily coming he never murmured nor complained and with a 1 smile of resignation entered that narrow vale.

May 29.?A sta'esman Is a successful politician who is dead. That is the definition of a statesman that was given by the latbw Thomas B. Reed of Maine who was one of the smartest men 1 erer knew in my life. Whilst that may be true in a general sense. 1 want to say that there are a few statesman in the National Capital at thiB day who are not dead. I have talked not only with those statesmen. both Republicans and Democrats but with politicians in Congress on both sides of the noliticai fence and they all express the game pinion that this fight in the Republican party for the nomination of President between Taft and Roosevelt is the most pitiable, execrable and disagraceful exhibition that has ever been seen in American politics. They all have <ome to the conclusion, regardless of party, that neither one of these men can be elected to the Presidency if they are nominated at Chicago. Whilst this conclusion is very gratifying to the Democrats, it is correspondingly distasteful and worrying to the Republicans. They are, ail hoping, that is the Republicans., that a deadlock In the Chicago Convention will ensue and that neither of thetn will be nominated and that a dark horsa. without regard to any particular individual, may be the Republican nominee and thus cut the Gordian knot in the Republican controversy. """Wfltli alt these conflicting opinions from the leaders in both purtles to wtvotn'l have talked. I hesitate before the Republican National r?n vention to* predict anything. However. It seems to me as an old fashioned politician and political writer and a looker on in Vicuna, so to 8peak, that It makes no difference who carries the State of Ohio and this letters written before the Ohio primaries, as to tlve final outcome of the campaign. My opinion is thai if the Taft leaders and the members of the National Republican Committee have a sullicientiy stronghold on their own delegates, that Mr. Taft probably will have enough votes on the first ballot to nominate him. if they have not that hold and the delegates revolt to Roosevelt, he may be the nominee on the first ballot. If the former condition should prevail la the Convention and the Roosevelt leaders know that It is Inevitable that Mr. Taft is going to be nominated, they will bolt the Convention. hold a Convention of their own nnd nominate Roosevelt on the plea that he has been swindled out of the nomination by the steam roller process of the present administration. It, makes no difference, whatever. which end of the bag the Republican party holds in the next campaign. There Is going to be a Democratic victory and a Democratic Presi ucai in me wiiite House after the 4th of next March. If there is not Misses E&lsworth Are Succes Two prizes In the News and Observer content which has just c1ose<l were awarded to Washington young ladies, Misses Gladys Ellsworth and Addle May Fredznan.

There are a lot of Democrats in this country who affect to believe whether they do or not. that Roosevelt would be absolutely invincible as the Republican candidate for President and that no Democrat could dereat him. Those men are merely superficial observers. They "$ have not dug under the serface sufficiently far to find that in every i State Roosevelt has carried In a PresI idential primary less than & per j cent of the Republican vote in that State has been polled for both him ?and Taft. What became of the othjer 50 per cent? They stayed at M home where they will continue to *;^|H I stay If Roosevelt should be nominated. but regardless of that fact there Is another that is very significant. With what little political experience II have had I made the assertion a Jjfl few days ago when some Democrat | said we could not defeat Roosevelt, i thht there ware ?? ? ? ruiliUr. r_ .iJS I Republican* in the United SlklM^' ; who would refuse to support any man for a third term. Almost as in [ corroboration of my statement the >9 next morning's papers announced In a tile gram from St. Louis that Judge Rombuuer had organized a Republican auti-thlrd torm club and that he *jB had obtained the signature of nearjly one thousand leading Republicans in St l.ouie the* very first day he i -farted out. A lot of newspapers In this country. whose^editorial writers know noj thing of Missouri or Missouri poll) ties. immediately laughed at the [Idea. Well. I happen to have lived ,.?^B j In St. Louis a long time and I know [the Judge Rombauer is not only one |of the ablest lawyers in St. Louis but I Dne of the leading Republicans In ; the State of Missouri. He is, per' haps, the strongest man intellectual- ,A>B ly in St. l.onls in the Republican parjty. He annotinres that this is op*y i a starter and that he will have over ! three million signers and members ' of his anti-third tern* rlub before he i is through with it. Aside from that ! the most influential and ablest German newspaper in the United States is the Wostliehe Post which has announced t hat if Roosevelt is nominated they will support the Democratic uominee. That means : that one hundred thousand German "^B IB Republicans In Illinois and Missouri Iwill vote just as the Westliche Post .tells them. and Freeman 9 sful in the Contest B being a $50 Kindel Davenport.
