Why He Refused the Nomination at the Baltimore Convention. “While Wilson has announced that his trip to Bermuda is for the purpose of obtaining a much needed rest, there is every reason to believe he will solve many problems of the next Administration before he returns. So far he has given no intimation as to the personnel of his Cabinet, but The World is in a position to state upon the highest authority that members have been agreed They are Congressman A. Palmer, of Pennsylvania and Albert Sidney Burleson, of Texas, and Jose- phus Daniels, National Committee- man from North Carolina. Mr. Pal- mer and Mr. Burleson are lawyers, while Mr. Daniels Is editor of Raleigh (N. €.) News and Observer. He was one of Mr. Bryan's closest advisers in Bryan's three Presidential campaigns, In. the pre-convention campaign Messrs. Palmer, Burleton and Daniels were Gov, Wilson's most ardent supporters. “Congressman Hughes, of New Jer- Bey, one of Gov, Wilson's managers at the Baltimore Convention, is authority for the statement that supporters of other candidates for the nomination offered to make Representative Pal- mer the party standard-bearer If the Gov, upon Pennsylvania delegation would switch | from Wilson to Palmer, “Mitchell Palmer could have had the nomination,’ said Mr. Hughes, ‘If he had been willing to desert Gov. Wilson. He would not listen to the proposition.’ “While in Bermuda, Gov, Wilson will spend much of his time bicycle riding. He has toured Europe several times on his wheel"-—New York World. Still Suffering From Injuries. John Willlams and Alexander Hev- erly, two Blanchard residents who were seriously Injured in the dyna- mite explosion at Ford Run five weeks ago, are still suffering with thelr eyes, and Mr. Willlams Intends to go to the Wills Eye hospital in Philadelphia and Mr. Heverly to return to the Philips- burg Cottage hospital for further treatment, Men will probably continue to buy bricks just as long as women con- tinue to marry for money, $1.05 | a It now goes especially hard | of | has 36% | tio in| be- | to} three | Mitchell | the | WHAT OF THE FUTURE?

We do not know yet whether the democratic party has made a ma- terial gain In the number of Its vote ers, or whether its success is due en- tirely to the division In the republican party. If the complete returns show a large gain in the democratis vote it will furnish encouragement to bes leve that the party had made a per- manent advance, If, however, the vic- tory must be credited wholly to a division in the republican party, the democratic party will have even more reason to be on its good behavior, for a fallure to rise to the requirements of the occasion will not only disap- point the democrats but will reunite the republicans, Governor Wilson showed remarkable wisdom and discretion in dealing with the problems that arose dur! the campaign; he has more than fuiniied | been {of 1893 was passed, {| the public good were A FINE WHITE BUCK.
