THE INTEGRITY OF THE CHI
CAGO CONVENTION.
The regularity of the proceedings
of the convention at Chicago has
been unjustly attacked, and the
undue noise of the attack has large
ly drowned out the voices of pro
test in its favor. It is time that the
allegations of "fraud" and "theft"
and "robbery" so freely and loudly
made were shown to bo merely the
excited expressions of violent par
tisans smarting under the knowl
edge of defeat; and that as a mat
ter of fact, the convention was con
ducted in strict accordance with tho
party rules and usages, with the
rules of parliamentary procedure,
and with all the fairness and good
judgment that any calm and reason
able-minded man could desire. It
was the duty of tho national com
mittee to make up the prima facie
roll of delegates entitled to seats In
tho convention. No other body had
that power, and until that roll was
made up the convention could not
organize. But it is complained that
this committee, chosen as far
back as 1908, was made up largely
of Taft adherents, and that in tho
great bulk of the contests before It,
seats were awarded to tho Taft
claimants. It must be remembered
that by far the greater part of these
contests were brought by the Roose
velt forces, and that the most of
these were frankly conceded by
those who brought them to be
entirely without merit. As to those
which were genuinely inaugurated
and sincerely urged, It cannot bo
said that they did not receive full
consideration by tho committee. If
they were dismissed It must bo as
sumed (hat In tho judgment of the
commlttL , made up as it was of
men of splendid ability and reputa
tion, leaders of their party in their
several states, tho contests wero
mistakenly or inadvertently brought.
It Is no new thing for a defeated
litigent to charge tho court and jury
with unfairness and prejudice.
Neiertheloss the roll of delegates
made up by this committee, as en
titled to participate in tho organi
zation of tho convention, was the
duly authorized and lawful roll.
These delegates had a right to
their seats. They had a right to
partb-lpato in the election of their
temporary chairman. They had a
lawful voice in the selection of tho
committee on credentials which
should pass on their qualifications as
members of that convention, and
they exorcised that right. But tho
most bitter complaint is over tho
fact that tho delegates thus seated
wero permitted to vote on the roport
qf tho credentials committee In tho
cases of all contested scats but
their own. And yet it is difllcult to
see how tho matter could havo been
fairly and lawfully treated In any
other way. Had only those holding
uncontested seats been permitted to
vote, tho great advantago would
havo been with tho Roosevelt forces
from tho start, for their seats had
been for tho most part uncontested,
while tho seats of tho Taft delegates
had been contested In great num
bers. Had tho Taft forces contest
ed an equal number of scats, and
tho voting power been confined to
uncontested seats, a mero handful of
delegates would have organized tho
by the Citizen Publishing Company.

convention. Had each wing of the
party contested all tho seats of
every other wing, then, under tho
uncontested seat theory, there
would havo been no one to organ
ize the convention. It is plain that
tho Roosevelt forces hoped by In
stituting a great number of contests,
and then making tho demand that
only thoso holding uncontested
seats should vote on matters of or
ganization, to control tho conven
tion. It was a clever scheme, skill
fully planned and urged with great
force, but it did not work out.
Chairman Root's ruling against It
was absolutely correct and parllamen
tary. And because It did not work
out wo have these unwarranted at
tacks upon the Integrity of tho con
vention. The sum and substance of the
matter is that the Roosevelt party
made a great tactical fight and lost.
Tho convention was held In an ab
solutely lawful, regular and par
liamentary manner, and with com
plete fairness toward every candidate
and all the contending parties, and
Its action should bo sustained both
now. and at tho polls by every sin
cere and fair-minded Republican.
THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.
After one of the most strenuous
and bitterly contested convention
battles In Its history tho Democratic
party has named Woodrow Wilson
as its candidate for president and
Governor Marshall of Indiana as Its
candidate for vice-president. This
result was not obtained by any vol
untary combination of interests, nor
by any agreement of leaders, nor by
any consensus of opinion that Gov.
Wilson would make the strongest
candidate. Nor was there any stam
pede toward him in the convention.
State delegations that voted for him
on the final ballot did so feeling as
bitterly opposed to him as they wero
on the first. It was simply a ques
tion of physical endurance. Nerves
and bodies had reached the breaking
point. Tho eighth day of the con
vention had dawned with the battle
as fierce and the feeling as tense as
ever. There was no dark horso in
sight. Wilson was the only candi
date before the convention on whom
enough votes could possibly bo cen
tered to make an early nomination.
Tired, disheartened, disgusted dele
gates yielded to the Imperative de
mand of their exhausted bodies for
relief and release and rest, and nam
ed Wilson on tho forty-sixth ballot.
And yet the Democratic party has in
its time put up worse candidates for
the presidency. Woodrow Wilson
(he dropped his middle name of
Thomas some years ago) Is fifty-six
years of age, a Virginian by birth,
married to a native of Georgia. Ho
has spent a large part of his life be
low Mason and Dixon's line. Ho has
lectured and written several books on
political science, economy and his
tory, his best known work being "A
History of tho American People."
Ho has been a collego professor and
was president of Princeton University
from 1002 to 1910. In tho latter
years ho plunged for the first time
into politics and was elected Gover
nor of Now Jersey. During his In
cumbency of the presidential chair
at Princeton ho succeeded in divid
ing that staid and ancient university,
trustees, faculty and alumni, into
two hostile camps. Within tho last
two years he has dono tho same
thing to the Democratic party. With
tho aid of William J. Bryan the
split has, within tho last weok, bo
como wide and Irreparable. Bryan
himself, hoping against hopo that
the nomination might fall to him
as tho only dark horso available
will not bo found among Wilson's
most enthusiastic supporters.
The Democratic candidato has
never been a member of either house
of Congress, nor of either branch of
any stato legislature. A student of
tho sclenco of government, ho Is but
a novico In practical politics. UUs
has not been tho kind of experlonco
to fit him for tho position to which
ho aspires. Ho will know raoro
about politics when his campaign has
ended, and Ryan nnd. Murphy and
Belmont, sit chuckling over tho do
feat of one whom they consider an
upstart In politics, and an unknown
quantity in a cortaln kind of state
craft. In tho meantlmo thoso
doughty warriors, concealing long
sharp knives up their sleeves, havo
gono homo to
'Avongo tho patriotic gore
That Hocked tho streets of Baltimore."
NO THIRD PARTY
NOW, SAYS BRYAN.
Ho Wanted Nomination mill Worked
For It to the Last.
Baltimore, July 2. "This settles
tho 'Roosevelt third party move
ment," said Col. William J. Bryan
an Instant after Gov. Woodrow Wil
son's name was nssured In the Dem
ocratic national convention Tuesday
afternoon.
"Tho moral sentiment of this coun
try has nsserted Itself," added
Bryan.
Col. Bryan In a general conver
sation went on to remark that all
reports to tho effect that ho had
conferred hero with Francis J. Hon
ey of California and Chnrles R.
Crane of Illinois, two of Col. Theo
dore Roosevelt's chief boomers at
Chicago, with the Idea that ho was to
Join tho Roosevelt third party move
ment were ldlo nnd utterly errone
ous. Saw Through llrynn's Move.
Tho most Important Democrats
have Insisted morning, noon and
night that Col. Bryan, was really a
candidate himself for tho nomination
and they are Illustrating their argu
ment to that effect by recalling that
on Sunday, when Col. Bryan as well
as all others became convinced that
Speaker Champ Clark was defeated
for tho nomination, mainly by Col.
Bryan's efforts, Col. Bryan Issued a
statement In which ho announced
that Senator Kern of Indiana, Sena
tor James of Kentucky, Senator Cul
berson of Texas, Senator (Rayner of
Maryland or Senator O'Gorman of
New York would be entirely satisfac
tory as a progresslvo candidate for
the Presidential nomination In this
convention.
THE PROBLEM OF THE FLY.
Dr. C. P. Botsford, of tho Hartford
heatlh board, has prepared some cir
culars for distribution in Hartford
which portray tho horrors of the
activity of tho disease broedlng pest
very vividly. Also It Illustrates them.
It is emphasized that flies are the
natural accompaniment of filth and
tho elimination nf nno monnrf tha
banishment of the other. Tho cam
paign nas ueen inaugurated in a
hundred cities. It Is emphasized
that tho fly is responsible for the
death of 50,000 people In the United
States dally.
Keep the files away from tho sick,
especially thoso ill with contagious
diseases. Kill every fly that strays
into the sick room. His body is cov
ered wth disease germs.
Do not allow decaying material of
any sort to accumulate on or near
your premises.
Screen all food and insist that
your grocer, butcher, baker and
every one from whom you buy food
stuffs does tho same.
Keep all receptacles for garbage
carefully covered and tho cans clean
ed or sprinkled with oil or lime.
Keep all stable manure In vault or
pit, screened or sprinkled with lime,
oil or other cheap preparations.
Keep the street and alleys clean.
See that your sewago system Is In
good order; that it does not leak, is
up-to-date and not exposed to flies.
Pour kerosene into the drains.
(Burn pyrethrum powder In the
house to kill the flies, or use a mix
ture of formaldehyde and water one
spoonful to a quarter of a pint of
water; this exposed In the room will
kill all tho files.
Burn or bury all table refuse.
Screen all windows and doors, es
pecially in tho kitchen and dining
room.
'If you see flies, you may bo suro
that their breeding place Is in nearby
filth. It may be behind tho door, un
der tho tablo or In tho cuspidor.
If thero Is no dirt and filth there
will bo no flies.
If thero Is a nuisance in the neigh
borhood, write at onco to the health
department.
"Health Is wealth," and "an
ounce of prevention Is worth a
pound of cure."
There is more health In a house
well screened than In many a doc
tor's visit.
Tho only safe way Is to keep out
the flies.
Tho Electoral College.
Tho confused situation in tho
Presidential primary States growing
out of the selection of "progresslvo"
Republicans as Presidential electors
has been simplified by the action of
tho Roosevelt following In deciding
to organize a now party, separate
and distinct from tne Republican
party. This step, of course, would,
of necessity. reaulrr Hint n nna cot
of electors bo chosen tho option of!
resigning or uoiuing on as Republi
can, or Taft. electors. Tho bettor
way, probably, would bo to resign,
and allow tho substitution of regu
lars. Onco tho implied pledgo that
vote for the head of tho tlckot they
ran on Is disregarded, tho collego
win Havo failed to perform Its func
tion the end Is In sight.
Thus the primary system will havo I
dono its worst, subverting Hio will
of tho people from tho "soapbox" to
tho Whlto House, and undoing tho
work of the founders who mado tho
Constitution. Washington Post.

some white hunters, killed tho last
10,000 of tho northern herd.
The last survivors, twenty-eight In
