tnoir choice for the nomination for
President. Mr. Fairbanks will also
probably get, the Kentucky delegation.
Gov W. S. Hammond of Minnesota
died in Florida on Thursday. He was
a Democrat, and is succeeded by the
lieutenant governor, a Republican.
Fcrninst Political l'reachers: The
warmest debate in the Socialist state
convention was over a resolution to
the effect that no authorized speaker
of the Socialist party be allowed to de-
bate on «ny political question with a
preacher, unless said preacher was in-
dorsed by some political party of the
Siate.^ Claims that the preacher is the
toe! of Uie capitalist because he must
depend upon the latter for his living
and therefore could not get the point
of view of the laborer were advanced
in favor of the ^solution. One spoak-
er declared that "every time a preach-
er takes the stand on a political ques-
tion, vou can hot your two-bit hat that
some capitalist has slipped him a ?I0
bill." However, the resolution was
promptly voted down. Socialists who
attended from this county say it was
the most sensible and conservative
meeting of Socialists they've ever at-
tended.

RUCKER'S
icw of the great interest in Mr. Kob-
ins address the local committee has!
considered using the Opera House but!
it has been decided that it is best to j
use the A- '-My H.-'l at 'he I'niver-1
sity. Mr. Robins will make his first I
address at 10 a. m. on Tuesday, Jan-
uary eleventh.
Mr. Childs writes as follows of Mr.
Robins' experience at the University
of Virginia:
"Following the Wabash campaign
we opened the work in the South at the
University of Virginia. This institu-
tion was founded by Thomas Jefferson
and is considered by many to be the
leading university of the entire south.
Our campaign opened Sunday, Novem-
ber 7th, the day following the big foot-
ball game with Vanderbilt. In spite
of many counter attractions usually
featuring a great football victory we
opened Sunday evening with a meet-
ing of three hundred men. To the
amazement of everyone, following the
main address there were no less than
one hundred ninety men who remained
for another hour plying Mr. Robins
with questions. Monday evening Mad-
ison Hall was crowded to capacity, and
a number of students were turned I
away. The last two meetings were
held in Cabell Hall, the college audi-1
torium. The average attendance was I
a little over five hundred per meeting,I
and the last three meetings were aid
to be the largest voluntary religious'
gatherigs ever held in the University I
of Virginia. On the call for decisio:
after an address of unusual power, in
which Mr. Robins had dealt very spe
cifically with the personal sins of col '
lege men, there were over two hun
died fifty men who signed the decis-
ion card. It would be a mistake to
consider all these as original decisions
for the Christian life, but that they
do represent a vital experience in the
case of each man is not to be denieil.
An interesting feature of the cam
paign was the work of a flying squad-
ion, composeil of four meinuer.- of the
football team including the captain
the captain of the baseball team, and
the president of the Association
| These men secured a large automobile
and on the last two evenings made i
I tour of the prominent clubs, persofial-
I ly inviting the men to attend the
meetings."
Perhaps the following letter from a
; prominent senior fairly estimates the
I lesults of the campaign:
"We write tonight to tell you that
i J the campaign is still in progress. From
all that I can find out, there never has
j been an experience in the history of
i the University which has meant so
] much for its moral and religious ad-
vancement. We feel confident that
j the results will continue to grow."

Fur anil nwuy the most Interesting
phase of tin- national political sltoa
Hon is the movement that lias brought
Henry D Estabrook. of New York anil
Nebraska, so prominently to the front
as a candidate for the Republican pre-
dentin I nomination. First spoken ot
as i possibility In connection with thi
presidency less than six months ago
Mr Bstabrook Is today one of the lead
ing candidates, with evidences of
strength that are a source of concern
to the friends of the other aspirants.
He has made speeches In every !m
porta lit city In the East. Middle West I
and Far West, an arduous campaign '
experience that has put him In good
condition to meet the rigorous demand -
made In the head of a party's national j
ticket, and his friends in Nebraska anil j
other States have formed Bstabrook or \

delegates In the most vigorous fashion j
Impartial observers agree that this I
development of the Estabrook boom j
has no parallel In the political history !

of the last 2f> 'ears,'and they are be
ginning to Inquire whether the popu
lar deniiiin for new leadership Is ae
tunlly so strons as to give this new
man the greatest political prize over
which men struggle.
An All Around Big Man.
Estabrook is a big man physically
mentally and politically. Quite sis
| feet in height, erect, rugged, he wouli
I be a man of commanding presence li
i any gathering. Ills mental attainment
i are attested by his signal success h
I the practice of law and by the wide
spread Interest in his every public ut
[ terance on governmental, economii
j anil social problems. lie has alwa.v
1 been a student and when he discusse-
| a subject he speaks with the author
; lty of one who has mastered it. HI-
j conclusions are Invariably sound, and
j once he has arrived at them, they ar.
proclaimed frankly mid fearlessly, for
he is essentially a man with the cour
| age of In- convictions.
For instance, he has been one of the
most drastic critics of President Wil
son and the present Democratic ad
mlnlstration, arraigning them for tbeli
tariff law'which bankrupted the fed
eral treasury and which places th
American farmer, the American manu
facturer, md the American laborer at
►he mercy ot foreign competition, and
for a foreign policy which has destroy
ed the respect that the American tlaa
and A inert-ail citizens once command
ed lu every quarter of the globe.
A Preparedness Pioneer.
Likewise Mr. Estabrook was the first
man prominently before the public to
outline a concrete program of national
defense which he presented In an ad
dress before the American Bankers
Association September 8th last at Seat
tie i haracterized by the Seattle Time-
as "one of the most remarkable ad
dresses ever delivered in the North
west." and he was the first Republican
h'.-idft- to point the way to the reunion
and harmonizing of all elements of the
part] hi* "Get-Together" plea before
the V Ki>i Club of Omaha, Nebrns
ka. last (V > or. having attracted wide
spread attention.
From the time Mr Estabrook open
ed the Republican National campaign
in t'hi ] . in 1W!M1 he has been recog
nlzed as one of the ablest campaigners
ill the United States, and there have
been few sponsors In greater demand.

an party to the administration of na

SUBJECTS FOR DISCUSSION
A. literary club was recently orga-,

i For a while everything went along
beautifully.
One evening, while the Browns;
Were h.i iug dinner, Mr. Brown asked:
'Well, Inez, did you have a pleas-
ant meeting at your club this after-
noon?"
"Oh, yes, dear," replied Mrs.,
3rowr, with great enthusiasm, "it was
j i eally a splendid meeting, about the
! iest we have had. I think."
"Inde■ .'' said the husband, who
' i'as no' a firm believer in women's
! clubs. What was the topic under j
discussion today?"
Mrs. Brown couldn't seem to re-
member at first. Finally, however,'
she exclaimed, triumphantjy:
"Oh, ■ >s, I remember! We discuss-
ed that brazen-looking woman with
red hair that's just moved in across
