the very day after the election boa d

The election board was worse than
fair. It wanted the names on but
once. It wanted to have avoided Just
what the Leader complains of: but the
democratic county olerks said the elec-
tion board had set up a Job and it
wouldn" t work, and proceeded to put

ity could devise.
So if the Leader'® surmise is correct,

m'Klnley of Ohio president .tn<l Wri -
ster Davis, of Missouri, for Vice-Presi-
dent is likely to be blazoned upon the re-
publicans banners of the campaign nf
lftx). Of course his location Is against Da-
vis' nomination, but many believi- that
his personality will overcome this.
The nomination of President m'Klnley
has been a foregone conclusion, especial-
ly since the commencement of the war
with Spain, but the elevation of Webster
Davis, assistant Secretary of the Inter-
ior. to the second Highest place within the
g.ft of the people h>as been little thought
of. even by his most Intimate friends, un-
til the close of "Ids most remarkable
speaking tour during the last campaign.
For his years, Webster Davis has won
more distinction as ;in orator of renown
than any man in public life, not ex< i t-
ing William Jennings Bryan, the demo-
cratic nominee for president in 18f«i. And
it is Mr. Davis* remarkable power to win
people over to his way of thinking, by
Ills masterful oratory, that may eh v tto
him to the Vice-Presidency. There is
scarcely a state that he has not spoken
In during the last four years. And wher-
ever he has gone, the election results
have been most surprisingly advantag-
eous tr his party. In t'he memorable cam-
paign in Ohio last year. Webster Davis
took a prominent part, and s ttuior Han-
no has said openly ihnt his flection was
more largely attributable to the speeches
of the Assistant Secretary of th-- interior
during the campaign than io any other
man. When you recall that such men as
