BULL MOOSE PARTY DONE FOR IN OHIO

Vote Dwindles From 229,329 in 191$, to 9,500 in 1914—Republicans Gaining All the Time. Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 14.—1 tis estimated that the total vote in the recent Ohio primary was as follows: Republicans 210,000 Democrats 170,000 Progressives 9,500 The vote in Ohio at the 1912 election was: Democrats 423,152; -Republicans, 277,066; Progressives, 229,329. 7 ' The distinctive feature of the primary was the practical disappearance of the progressive party. The total bull moose vote was slightly in excess of the number of names on the petitions filed by the party’s candidates for nominations. In Hamilton county, containing the city of Cincinnati, where close to 100,000 voters were registered, only 223 progressive .votes were cast. Congressman John J. Whiteacre, successful candidate for the democratic nomination for governor, today predicted that the republicans would carry Ohio in November by an old time plurality. In the course of his formal statement this democratic leader said: • ‘The bull moose party is absolutely done for In Ohio. I do not mean to say that the candidates for governor and senator will not get some votes, but the number will be negligible.”

FOURTEEN YEAR-OLD SICK BOY IN CONTEST

Ray Huff, Through His Friends, Making Effort to Win One of The Republican Prizes. Ray Huff, son of Julius Huff, of Jordan township, is an active contestant for one of The Republican’s prizes in the voting contest. Ray Is but 14 years old. He has been sick for some time, and is confined to his bed, and the prospects are that he will never fbe able to leave it, owing to his affliction. He has taken an interest in the contest from the time the first announcement of it was made. He has enlisted his friends in the contest, and while unable to do any work himself, several thousand votes have already been turned in lor him. Ray is at a very great disadvantage in the contest and for this reason would greatly appreciate any help the public can give him in the way of clipping coupons ants having the votes of subscribers cast for him. He is a cheerful child and is bearing up under his affliction without' complaint. His grandmother and others are working for him and any one who can help to make the lad happy by casting their votes for him should do so. Ray already has several thousand votes to his credit and stands a good chance to win one of the prizes. Remember, if he does not secure one of the listed prizes he will receive ten per cent of all the money you turn in on subscription for him.

“The Climax.”

The vocabulary which would ordinarily be used in describing ‘The Climax,” has been so abused in its application to every kind .of show on the stage that it has become meaningless and trite. It is diffictilt, therefore, to express adequately t(he charm which ‘The Climax” really possesses. The story itself is a clean and simple one. Adaline Von Hagen, a girl with musical aspirations, is jiving in New York with her poor uncle, Lui Golfanti, who is training her voice. The other persons of the story are the professor’s son, Pietro, and a young doctor who was a childhood friend of the girl, both of whom are openly in love with her, but she puts them off lightly with eyes only for her art. To correct a slight flaw in her voice, Adaline consents to undergo a small operation which was arranged for her by Dr. Raymond. While she is in his care following the operation, the doctor employs the power of mental suggestion to convince the girl that she would never sing again, and when the day comes on which she can test her voice, the one chance of failure in a thousand proves to be hers—she cannot sing. After a time she consents to mar ry the doctor. On the very night of Adaline’s wedding Pietro begins reminiscently running over bis “Song of the Soul,” which he had tom up at the loss of her voice. She starts to hum and, before she realizes it, has . sung the song through. In the joy which follows the recovery of her voice only the doctor can not participate and he and his duplicity are forgotten in the girl’s ambitious prospect of the future. The real charm of the play does not, however, lie in, the story but in the details. The personality of Adaline, the repartee of the family circle gathere about the professor’s table, the reality of the little inci cents of daily life built around this plot as a nucleus —these constitute the real strength of the play, and one must see it to appreciate them. MirSolfe and his company are admirably fitted to bring out in fullest measure every possibility ‘The Climax” holds, making it a play no one should fail to see.—At opera house, Saturday, August 22.

BRIDGE OVER KANKAKEE BASIS FOR SKYSCRAPERS

Train Stops On Bridge at Kankakee River and Great Idea is Son. The above heading may appear to be a “munchausenism” but in reality the statement is well authenticated. In the days when an eight story building was looked upon as the eighth wonder, Norman B. Ream, with an unruly stomach, was on his way to Denver for recuperative purposes. As the train upon which he was riding crossed the Kankakee river at Kankakee, 111., it for some reason stopped on the bridge. Mr. Ream was at luncheon. He looked out and the rapidity 1 of the flow of the water just before reaching the dam upset him to such an extent that "sans cerimony” he proceeded to the observation car in the rear of the train;:,noting the make-up of the bridge he reasoned as follows: : “Here is this heavy train supported over a raging river by this structure laid on its side; stood on end the structure would be the safest kind for a building.” The more he thought of it the stronger his conviction became. Arriving at Denver, he wrote a Chicago architect directing that plants be prepared for a building to ibe constructed along the lines of his idea. Result: the Rookery building in Chicago became an actuality. Renters, on account of the height of the building, were nervous, and it was only by establishing his office on the top floor that Mr. Ream could rent the offices above the eighth floor. „ By progression the height of buildings of steel construction has increased until we now have the Woolworth building of New York From the above it will be seen that the strength of an Illinois Central structure has revolutionized the buildings of the world.

Joe Wing, Alfalfa, Rensselaer, September 15.

To the many readers of the Breed-’ ers Gazette we need not offer an introduction to Joe Wing. To others it may be of interest to say, he was reared upon Woodland Farm in Ohio, his present home. A number of his early years were spent as a foreman of a cattle ranch in Utah. There he learned the worth of alfalfa. The appeal of an aged father and the love of a sweetheart finally overcame the attractions of majestic mountains and fertile valleys. He returned home with a ken of alfalfa and a quantity of the seed. The years of trials and failures in learning its requirements under these changed conditions reads like a romance. His ability to tell how he succeeded won for him the position of staff correspondent for the Breeders Gazette. Rumor has it that he is the highest paid agricultural writer of the present. He has traveled extensively in foreign lands.: Of the books he has written, “Alfalfa in America” holds first place. In securing Mr. Wing for Rensselaer he was chased by letter through New Hampshire, Tennessee, Illinois and Ohio, which gives some idea of his acquaintance of the United: States. The information he gives has been expensively gathered from the field of experience. His talk is on a subject that brings material advancement. It means a better understanding of soil fertility; more profitable returns from the farm: more and better live stock; longer contract between land owner and tenant, and a higher scale of wages to farm laibor. Indirectly it touches every interest, and is a force in the uplift of the economic, intellectual and social standards of the community. He not only entertains; he inspires. Listen to Joe Wing and you will become aware that you are in the presence of an unusuai man. W. H. PULLIN.

PIANO SELECTED FOR GREAT VOTING CONTEST

Local Agent, Otto Braun, Will Furnish a Standard S3OO Piano, The Strohber, For Contest. Otto Braun, the band master and dealer in high grade pianos, will furnish the standard upright piano to be given away in The Republican’s great voting contest. This is a high grade Style C Strohber, that regularly sells for S3OO in the country and $350 in the cities. It is a first-class instrument, and not a cheap stenciled piano generally furnished in contests. Mr. Braun, who is an expert musician, and knows a good instrument when he sees it, is the local agent for these instruments, and has one of the pianos in use at his residence, and pending the arrival of The Republican’s piano, contestants can see his piano by calling at his home. When contracting for the piano Mr. Braun was told that The Republican wanted the best .instrument that S3OO would buy, and one that he would stand by, and Mr. Braun unhesitatingly recommended the Strohber. The Eastern Star at Lowell uses a piano of this make, bought of Mr. Braun, and are well pleased with the instrument. A cut of the piano will be printed in the near future. This is a piano well worth working- for, and even if you don’t win the auto you will be well repaid for your work if you win the piano, or any one of the minor prizes. Get (busy and send in your votes.
