BOYS FAVOR KNOX
Pennsylvanian Leads for the
Presidential Nomination in
a Mock Convention.
DEBATING SOCIETY PROGRAM
High School Students Conduct a Na
tional Meeting. Following Order
of Real Gathering.
Knox, of Pennsylvania, was named as
Hie choice 1'or r publican presidential
nominee at thi mock national conven
tion held ye.-U-nlay afternoon at the
high school by the Hoys Literary and
Debating society. On the tirst ballot
Knox was in tlu lead slightly, Cannon
beii-- second choice. Immediately the
delegates bes.iii In uet into the band
wagon, the Taft supporters throwin
their strength to Cannon and shortly
the Cannon vines went, to Knox, leav
ing the Penn-svJwiniun the only man
in the field.
! How It's Done.
The boys have been preparing for
the convention for several weeks, and
in the meeting yesterday practically
every state had a lepivseutative. Tin.
vote was apportioned according to the
real renresental ion of the state in the
convention in Chicago.
At the openjr.g session Principal II
E. Brown add reined the boys and gave
a short sketch Of the order of busi
ness of the content ieu. T. ,M. Coen
one of the school instructors, was then
elected perm 1:11 lit chairman of tin
meeting. The orcanization completed
the various candidates were placed in
nomination in the usual manner, of
roll call by slates, the nominating
speeches being made by I lie following:
Knox John lioche.
Cannon. .loo Suudell.
Taft John Seidel.
Fo r a k e r Edwin 1 1 c I n t y r e .
Shaw X. Hart on Sears.
Cummins litn Finklesteiu.
Fairbanks Dan Breiinan.
LaFollette Jerome O'Connor.
The nomination of the d.irk horse of
the convention, Oovernor Charles De
neen of Illinois, was made by George
Schneider. The dark hots' did not
poll very strong in the balloting, how
ever. The Hesiilts.
When the roil call had been com
pleted, tho tally showed Knox in the
lead with 271. Cannon second with
Stlfi, Taft in third place with. "n;. Fair
banks with 73, LuFoliette with 40.
Shaw with 21, Foraker with 21 and
Deiieen with but a single vole. The
vote was not entirely counted before
the delegates w.-ie on their feet
swinging over Io Cannon and Knox. ..
The boys did not attempt to aiiuljz.
state condition in balloting, hut mere
Iv- followed thvir individual inclina
tions. As I no votes represent state
delegations, it is not known just what
the actual choice of the high school
boys is. The piegrarn was unique and
interesting, and proved the means of
giving the boys a better understanding
dt the political machinery.
the acoustic properties are perfect It
has a seating capacity of 12,000 peo
ple and is in all respects the finest
convention hall ever constructed, as
it is the most modern.
"One of the weighty reasons for
taking the democratic national conven
tion to Denver was the coolness of
the weather in that city in July. Every
convention that has been held in the
ast has suffered from the heat, but
at the Denver gathering there will be
no weather warm enough to make the
mdionce fed uncomfortable. In the
timiner eveniniis' the cool breezes
b!iiwin: from the siiow-c-iart mountain:: led uieviouslv W

make the air delightfully cool. It is
largely in the nature of an experiment
U bring a convention so far west, and
the residents of Denver know the re
suits will be watched witn interest, so
they are preparing to keep the credit
of their citv as a great popular meet
iug place for conventions up to the
highest mark by leaving nothing un
done to please the visitors."

How One Reads.
The average person believes that In
reading a newspaper paragraph he
reads the whole of each type'M impres
sion, while, in fact.- he only notices the
upper half of each letter. Cover the
upper half of a line with a sheet
of pr.er. being careful to hold the pa
per exactly in the middle of the let
ter, and you will not. without difficulty,
decipher a word. Then place the ps
per over the lower half of the line. It
.an be real without the slightest troi-ile.

CLEANLY WOMAN. ,
Erroneously Thinks by Scouring Her
Scalp That She Cures Dandruff.
Cleanly woman has an erroneous
idea that, by scouring the scalp, which
removes the dandruff, scales, she is
curing the dandruff. She may wash
her scalp every day, and yet have
dandruff her life long, accompanied by
falling hair, too. The only way in the
world to cure dandruff is to kill the
dandruff germ, and there is no hair
preparation that will do that but New
