Henry never let the life fade from the dust covered prophets. He made every town an oasis in a desert. And though his trusty'touring car bore the number “6” he zipped o' the landscape at the head of thc cal- vacadé. A friend to everybody was Dick Leyer of the Northwestern railroad. id tales from the tortured he list- ened to attentively, consolingly. He was a brave man for he rode with Barker, “His being with the boost ers added to their look of prosper- ity and dignity. It seemed that in every town along the Northwestern he was well and familiarly known. A..K. Bott of the Henning hotel and his young son, A. K. Bott, Jr. never missed anything. © Little Au gust. was mascot of the Casperites angpenjoyed every stop where he ©. out and fraternized with youngsters of his own ‘age. When it came to rushing away with the souvenirs he was right on the job. Father and son both made a great showing. Underneath a large sombreo Charles Stafford, secretary of the chamber of commerce, was always in evidence. Especially down at Scottsbluff and Alliance. He thought they had fine secretaries in those towns and he proceeded to learn their methods. It was part of the ceremony at each luncheon and banquet for T. C. Tonkin of the per Supply company to introduce the boosters. This calling of names he did well enough with plenty of side remarks to mike every booster bashful. For instance, G. B. Stilwagon of the McCord-Brady company was told of and submitted to the once over as a peddler of prunes. “Prop- erly influenced, he made a sweet speech on sugar down in Scotts- bluff. He was in the front row at every special event. Notwithstand- ing his name of Stillwagon he rat- tle-wagoned in the same car with Stafford, The candy kid was Neale Rowell of the Natrona Power company. He has a deep voice and a promising expression and these helped him in calling out towns for liberal help- ings of the confectionery he was carrying. They literally swooped down upon him and he made him- self.a central attraction. Instinct directed Earl Hanway of the Casper Tribune to every print- 1 shop that was passed by. The smell of ink drew him + from atar and he exchanged notes with coun- try editors where ever he went. In between times he was flinging out whistles for “Wyoming's Leading Newspaper—The Tribun. The Campbell-Johnson Clothing store made a good selection when it sent Herbert Hubbard with the boosters. He isa born booster— especially for his own stock among the Indies. ‘The scenery wasn't new to Bob McBurney of the Casper eupply company. Many times he has gone over the same route and many friends can he count from Casfer back again. So he was indispen- sible as an introducer. He was hailed by one and. all. As a representative of the Conti- nental Git company, R. ©, Mebon ald was right there. Espec.atiy so in ths seuverir tossing — parader dewn. moin streets. Furthe hp was not exaptly lost at fances. He did hot talk—he acted. Dopey Dan, Dangerous De Dancing Dan and Di was various known, was a c favorite expression was whatever that means. And his Casper Herald balloons popular—but he lasted longer than his balloons. He had quite an ex- perience in Alliance which will be interesting to his grandchildren. His right Rame—Dan Doris. More than one roof in the towns that were visited; was safe and sound because it came from Robert Schmudlach’s outfit, the Wyoming Roofing company. It made him happy to go along and meet the people who were living “under his good roofs. .- For the good name of Casper and to help swell the procession, Wal- ter Taylor of the Uneeda Tire com- pany, was with the boosters. He had nothing to promote but good will for his town and he did that well. This example set last week by Taylor and several others, is one that should. be remembered next. year when the roll is callod for another booster trip. He knows tupke, he and *m Afraid to Go Home Through that which helps Casper helps him. It. was the claim of the boosters. that the Stuart Clan Pipe band had two tunes and two tunes only. First they would play “The Camp-| bells are Coming” and then’ they would play it again—backwards. ‘That assertion 1s probably -unkind and tutrue, but anyhow the kilties knocked the people dead along *the It. was keen ‘music to march by and it drew out the populace better than any‘racket the * Pied Piper ever put. out.

There were numbers of others that went part way. Next year they will go all the way, now that they have heard what the fuith- ful, 581-mile boosters did for. the good of their city and themselves. UNITED PARTY WILL WORK FOR JOHN WORMS McAdoo Statement Puts Ends to Talk of Party Strife NEW YORK, July 12.—John W. Davis will head a united Democratic party when he begins next week to organize for the campaign -which he hopes will put him in the White House for the next four years. The last serious barrier toward Democratic unity was swept away tonight, as Willam Gibbs McAdoo, defeated candidate for the party's nomination sailed for Murope on the Homeric, after issuing a statement in which he pledged Davis comple.e support. The McAdoo statement set at rest fears that the Cefedted candidate for the nomination might refuse to give full support to the nominee on the ground he is not progressive enough for the we#tern states. ‘I am satisfied that he (Davis) is in full accord with the progressive program outlined in the jocratic platform,’ McAdoo said. a “The fact that Davis has been at- torney for several big ‘corporations cannot be held against him,” Mc- Adoo continued, “because a lawyer's views on economic, political@ind so- cia! questions are no more to be judged by his professional associa- tions than is a physician to be judg- ed by the character of the patients.” Governor Smjth of New York and W. J. Bryan already have pledged thelr support to Davis and all in all, the Davis supporters feel har- mony within the party during the ‘campatgn is assured. Boy Ten Years Of Age Murders Girl Who Teased Him BERLIN, July 12.—(United Press.) —Because she had always teased him, ten year old Karl, son of a farm laborer, cold-bloodedly mur- dered an eight year old girl of his home village Rosenhof, near Whit- tenberge on the Elbe. ‘The boy, exceptionally strong for his age, waited for the girl in am- bush not far from the village, beat her up and strangled her to death with the string of her knapsack. Then he dragged the corpse to the river and put it among reeds. The corpse was found the same at- ternoon by the mother who was looking for her girl whom she had sent out in the morning on an er- rand. .The juvenile, murderer when cross-examined, because the feud between him and the girl was known, made a full confession. the Park A little sign shall lead the way—and that way will not be across the city park, While your feet sink swelteringly into the oozing asphalt you | 8!V9 8% may gaze longingly from afar and behold the aloof summery “touch me not” air of this block of grass and rows of small treets, but that is all, Dumbellat!

DOLLAR CONTRIBUTIONS WILL BE SOUGHT TO FINANCE DRIVE FOR ELECTION OF LA FOLLETTE BY MILTON MACKAYE (United F Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, July 12. — The presidentis campaign of Senator Robert M. LaFollette got up steam here tonight, Ways and means of bringing vic- tory to the LaFollette ticket were discussed by the executive heads of the progressive national cormuittee, gathered from all parts of the céun- try. The executive committee of the national committee met all day be- hind closed doors. They settled on a new policy for financing a political campaign—a widespread campaign for dollar con- tributions. This will prohibit the re: celpt of large sums from wealthy individuals and allow the “plain peo- ple" their share of the burden. Second, they decided after con- ferences with Robert M. LaFollette, Jr., his father’s chief Meutenant, to discourage independent candidacies for state and national offices. This decision was reachéd after a protracted study of the Roosevelt movement of 1912, when full tickets for state offices and congress were filed practically sverywhere. The review of the old progressive party's difficulties convinced she LaFollette strategists that 75 per cent of the Roosevelt energies wero expended in state and “national squabbles. By concentrating exciu- sively on the offices of president and vice president this year they belleve that they will make a more imy wing than they could tinde the “new party” system, A few in- dependent candidates’ will be en- dorsed in Jocalities where peculiar conditions make victory. seem. prob. able, but they will not be allowed to tle up the LaFolette race without in While Senator LaFollette today declared that he had as yet selected no candidate his running mate, and that he still has an open mind on the subject, the exécutive com- mittee began canvassing the field of acceptible possibilities, No publicity will be given their se.ections preliminary to the meeting of the full national committee here July 18. e Among those who were the most frequently mentioned today were Justice Brandeis of the supreme court, Chairman Huston *Thompson of the federal trade commission, and Senator’ Wheeler of Montana. All three are Democrats and men of impressive progressive records. Those who attended the’ meeting of the executive committee here to. day were William H. Johnston, chairman; Edward Keating, Basil M. Manly, Ethel M,. Smith, John M. Baer, Isbello Kendlg, Benjamin CG. Marsh, Mrs. Gordon’ Norris, Alexan. der Kahn, Jacobs Potofsky, Charles Ford, Arthur J. Lovell, R. A. Haste, Miss Mary Shepherd, M.

CHICAGO, July 12.—Rosetta Duncan, weighing 103 pounds in her stage costume of “Topsy,”’ tonight declared for a finish fight against some 700 pounds of Cicero police- ‘men. Rosetta is determined to jail the four policemen who broke her nose, bent a couple of ribs out of shape, and lacerated her facé and feelings. It was all uncalled for, one of the famous Duncan sisters of “Topsy und Hye" fame, declared. While driving through Cicero, Chica g0 suburb, with her brother, police took the part headquarters bi cause they to heed a boule- vard sign. All, 1 did was to say it was a shame to arrest brother,” Rosetta declared, “And then what they did to me—oh boy, what they did to me."

Waiter, One Reindeer Cut, and Well Done WASHINGTON, July 12.—(Unitea Press.}—Reindeer steak will be as easy to get in the cafes during the coming winter as corn beef and cab- bage. Alaskan and Seattle firms have set about ‘making the favorite meat of the cold country the favorite dish of the whole United States. ,Commercial development of the reindeer industry now has organized for the first time, and arrangement made by wholesale packers for ship. ments during the fall and winter.

SMALL, (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, July 12.—When the inside history of the record-breaking Democratic convention of 1924 comes to written, the part played be- hind th cenes in the final deliber- ations former Governor James M. Cox wil! form perhaps the most interesting and important chapter. Governor Cox arrived in New York at the psychological moment and, in his suite of rcoms on the twelfth floor of the Waldorf were held a series of conferences which concen- trated the thought of the distraught leaders on the man the candi- © of 1920 considered the outstand- figure in democracy today, The gOvernor arrived at the begin- ning of the third week of the con- vention when affairs seemed all but hope. party of which he as the titular head a new standard bearer could med. The so-called leaders in convention had been pulling first one way d then the other. ery move made by one of them was sus pected by the others. Every sug; on of a possible course of action was regarded with suspicion. It y feared there was some selfish mo- tive back of it. Then too, each leader had a favorite dark horse of his own and felt that if there was to be an ebony equine chosen his man should unquestionably be the selection, When Governor Cox arrived there were signs that both Mr, McAdoo and Governor Smith were becoming convinced at last that neither of them had a possible chance for the nomination. There also_were signs that when the two leaders quit there would be another deadlock among che warring factions. Having withdrawn from the race himself, having only the good of the party in mind Governor Cox con- sented to come to New York. He had rec ‘ed scores of telegrams while in Ohio urging him to lend his as- sistance to the struggling demo- cracy. After his arrival here he re- ceived literally thousands of addi- dona! telegrams, Happily Governor Cox found himself in a position to “talk turkey” to all of the leaders He knew them all, had been assoct- ated with them in campaign and conference, he had no « to grind, no selfish interests to serve, Governor Cox did not hesitate to talk with George Brennan of Il nols; with Joe Guffey of Pennsyl- vania; Tom Taggart of Indian Norman Mack og New York; with the warring elements in his own nome state delegation of Ohio. Gov- ernor Cox knew that the convention was looking for some sign from th.s sroup, The unbossed delegates hau been crying for leader—for a Mores to take them out of the wild erness ,of factional fighting and srowing indecision. Sut neither 1 rt nor Bren- nan nor Guffey apparently had been able to deliver their delegations tu anybody. Once the Illinois delegation 8 split seven different ways.

These leaders promised Mr. Cox, however, according to the story gen rally in circulation today, that if “the others” could « on th proper man, they would see that at the proper time the full de‘egation sirengih wag polle for him. There was a wide canvass of the field of available candidates. Sena vor Glass, Senator Underwood and John W. Davis finally made up the field as the conferences proceeded. Governor Cox let it be known that he thought Mr. Davis the most avail. able man of the trio, the strongest campaigner and the most likely to atch the imagination of the peu- D Senator Carter Glass had many friends in the conference.

When he did so, the end was in sight. ‘There was no wild stampede for Davis on the first following ballot.
