TELEPHONE NUMBER 166 CULL FDR_JOHKOIL Logical Standard Bearer of the Democracy. APPEALS TO THE VOTERS. P.i Hi* Name and With the Great Cause Victory Is Assured to the Party of the People Why Court Defeat 7 Friends of Governor John A. .lotin bou of Minnesota have issued a letter und a pamphlet that together consti tute an address to the Democrats of the country. Both make a strong ap peal to Democrats everywhere to ex ert themselves to see that the Denver convention shall be a deliliera'te body that will look the field over and choose a candidate who, while representing modem Democracy, can win at the polls. The letter, which Is signed by Fred erick B. Lynch, treasurer of the Min nesota Democratic stato central com mittee. who bus opened offices In the Grand Pueltlc hotel, Chicago, 1b ns fol low*: . Dear Sir—You are a Democrat, and It Is beennse you are a Democrat that this Is addressed to you, with the feel ing that you will exert yourself to give the party oue of the greatest essentials to victory—a strong and acceptable cuu dulate for the presidency. The Democracy of the nation huve for twelve year* been losing ground, and the belief Is general that under the old conditions defeat Is certain. For months the party has been drift lug toward an autocratic convention, where popular choice Is to b£ kubor -1: . ‘>-fwrsmiaf -'111: "* Minnesota Democrats, feeling that party duty transcends Individual Inter est. have had the courage to break away from tbe drift uud offer the par ty a candidate who if uomlnuted can GOVERNOR JOHN A JOHNSON. carry more states than any other liv ing Democrat and who would be prac tically certalu of electlou. Bebelllug against tbe doctrine of despair, we take It for granted that there la no necessity for the ravens of defeat to perch oa the tanners of Democracy In 1908 elm ply because they did In 1800, 1900 and IM. Conditions industrially, financially and politically are such that we have this year tbe opportunity of a genera tion to win the presidency. If you'and the other Democratic lead era of the eouutry will but respond to tbe Invitation and the opportunity ex- tended to you by the Democrats of Minnesota we can escape from the blighting tradition of defeat and reha bilitate tbe party and the nation by a great political victory next November. There Is still ample time to see that enough delegates are elected to the Denver convention to make that a de liberative Democratic body that will give the party new hope and new In spiration and a winning candidate. To tills end we solicit your co-oi>eratlon and will heartily welcome and consider any suggestions you may offer. Let Us Try to Win. Is It not the duty of every loyal Democrat desiring bis party’s suc cess. If It can be bad without the sacrifice of principle, to take Ju dicious and comprehensive thought of the situation and exert bhnself to see that the delegates to the na tional convention at Denver July 7 shall go there unfettered by the dead hand of the past and prepared to con sider calmly the political outlook aud the chances of Democratic success and then with cool aud careful Judgment select a nominee who can win? Tills Is a Democratic year If tbe Democrats of the nation will but make It so. Why postpone all hope of success and the lieglmiiug of the restoration of Democratic control for another four years? Did Away With Passes. In one of his messages Governor Johnson said: "If the public officers are not adequately compensated now for their services, fix the compensation to such an extent as to make It reason able compensation and do away with the possibility of any officer becoming a beneficiary of the favor of corpora tions and by reason of gratuities being placed under some obligation to the corporation which extends the courtesy. * * * And urge most earnestly the early enactment of u law which will forever abolish the system lu Minnesota.” And It was done. , Directing Folka In Boston. The stranger bad been searching nearly half an hour among tbe mys terious curving ways of the park for Fenway street. At last the'trim figure of a hurrying student attracted her eye, and she resolved to ask for the necessary Information. “Can you tell me. please, where Fen way street Is?” she asked. “Yes, Indeed.” answered the student. “Why, we’re lu it now." “Yes?” The stranger looked rather helplessly around at the wealth of shrubbery, the smooth roads that seemed to lend only to Mrs. Gardner’s green roofed palace. “But I wanted to find a certain number on Fenway street.” “Ob!” said the student, a helpless ex presslon for a moment clouding her face. “Do you know, there’s n street down there.” She pointed a daintily gloved hand straight into a clump of elms. “I don’t know the name of It. 1 never did know that it had a name. Why don’t you try' that one?"—Boston Her ald. Pratty Strong Lungs. Id J!Tim>ugh Luzon on Highways fitul Byways” the author, u naval offi cer, tells this expansive story. YVe vouch for the story only, not for the facts: While traversing this attractive coun try, which offers so much to tempt the husbandman, we met with no sign of life until nearing a village, where could !>e seen native iiuuters after deer and carabuo. The caralwo furnishes a fine quality of meat and has a peculiar. Instinctive trait In being the only deni zen of the forest that can protect it self against the boa constrictors, which are somewhat numerous in these parts YVhon the carabao Is pounced upon by the boa and the reptile has wrapped Itself round the l>ody for the squeezing process of killing the animal, the cara bao slowly draws In its sides until the boa has his grip fixed securely and taglus to tlghteu up. when suddeuly the carabao Inflates his lungs to their fullest ami spreads h!s sides, tearing the vertebrae of the reptile Into u thou sand pieces. How Tsa Lad Is Made. Tea lead for lining tea chests Is su iwrlor at least from the standpoint of cheapness to uny other metal. Accord ing to an article In the Brass World, the method practiced by the Chinese In the manufacture of tea lead is to press molten lead between two Cat stones. The excess of lend Is melted in hu Iron kettle by u direct fire underueath. Rice paper Is carefully smoothed down over the surface of the stones to supply a noucouductor of heat and thus pre vent the chilling of the lead. The stoues are now placet! flat upon the ground and the upper one raised a short distance, with one edge resting upon the lower stone. In other words, the stones are opened like a book. A ladle full of melted lead Is now poured In between the stones, and the top one Is quickly dropped. The lead Is squeez ed out until only a thin layer Is left Tea lead usually runs from .005 to .10 loch In thickness.
