Nothing like It in the matter of what is called a "deadlock" was ever witnessed before. Time and time again the party was on the verge of disruption. The candidate finally nominated once appeared completely beaten.

Tho favorite could not muster enough votes. The result waa in doubt for a week. And not until tho forty-sixth ballot was a candidate named. The fight was between the progressives and reactionary elements of the party. The progressives won.

It used to be said that Western farmers waste as much as Eastern farmers raise. One reason for thlB waste was because It cost more to save what, was wasted than it was worth on the market. However much we may hale to see things wasted when saving them costs more than they are worth, It is a waste to save them.

Ho lived two hours after the accident, retaining conciousness till up to the last they had to be shown. There was nothing much going on here July 4th except that the banks closed. The women behaved well at the Baltimore convention.

The progressives seem to be progressing. Mr. Bryan will not permit the "crown of thorns" to be placed on tho lirow of lalior but he will thrust a bitter pl.ll down an unwilling reactionary's throat. Political speakers have commenced digging up the tariff talks of 1890 and 1900. at Baltimore.

In round numbers, the United States plants over 100,000,00 acres annually and raises billions bushels of corn. The average yield for ten years is 26.7 bushels per acre. Last year the average was 23.9 bushels per acre, the lowest in ten years.

To get the candidate representing the principle nominated Mr. Bryan fought the fight of his life, angered old friends and supporters, took upon himself gravest responsibilities, fought at times single handed, was the dominating and determining factor in the making of the party platform and the selection of a party standard bearer.
