[Today Th*> Circus Starts. Florida's Press Agent. Religious Issue Rules. “Coolidge Luck" Again. By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ New York, June 23.—Today the big circus starts. Sit by any can didate" and hear him gradually eliminate all the others, leaving him self alone surviving. That's as amusing as anything here. Mr. Bryan shows his extraordi narily rugged constitution now as he did years ago in St. Louis. He is up at 2 in the morning talking to men from every corner of the land, and is up again at 6, ready to see anybody. When asked how he stands it, his reply is: “Spend the winter in Florida and you can stand anything 1 for the rest of the year. Go to that wonderful climate and get rid of 20 years.” Florida never had a beter spokes man than she has in Bryan, here delegate-at-large, elected by a vote 100 per cent greater than that of any man on his ticket. Every delegate probably regrets it, every candidate certainly regrets it—the conventions seems degener ating into a religious fight. McAdoo attended service at St. George’s Protestant Episcopal church yester day. A1 Smith, his strongest rival for nomination, attended mass at | 6t. Agnes' Roman Catholic church. I j “Klan and rum” now overshadow ■^tet,he league of nations, that had ^^k>een the third issue, in a conven ^^Yion that apparently thinks little 'about things that interest the aver age American. Sam Small, evangelist, tells a re vival meeting in Brooklyn that A1 Smith can never be nominated or elected, “never as long as America is in the United States! And I am a regular, rip-roaring, tiger-nailed democrat from the south, too.” He does not conceal his religious bias. On the other hand at Patehogue, on Long Island, a few miles away, while Rev. Sam Small was denounc ing A1 Smith, 20,000 to 30,000 members of the Holy Name society of the diocese of Brooklyn and Long Island held their annual gath ering. For every vote against A1 Smith in Sam Small’s revival there were 10 votes for Smith in that gather ing of the Holy Name society. The charge that he is too friend ly to the “invisible empire” of the Ku Klux Klan is answered in geniously by McAdof) with the statement that he is really fighting the “invisible government of Wall street.” The Ku Klux Klan calls itself an “invisible empire,” but everybody knows it doesn't govern the United States—not yet. The “invisible government” of finance” is real. And if its brand L were visible, those that faithfully ^^serve it in the democratic conven j^^lion would he afraid to take their shirts off. i The leaders of the Ku Klux Klan declared that they will bitterly fight any plank “mentioning the Ku Klux Klan by name.” Why? Do not the kleagles and others that direct the klan know the value of being attacked and advertised? One thing is certain and it’s im portant. for it will settle the com ing election. If A1 Smith is beaten, as he prob ably will he, that makes impossible the election of any other democrat. Millions of Catholics will believe that A1 Smith was defeated be cause he was a Catholic, and wheth er that's so or not, they will vote for Coolidge, by way of saying to the democratic party: “If our religion isn't good enough for you, we aren’t good enough for you." Therefore, the “religious issue" is a bad thing for every candidate, no matter what his religion or lack of religion. A Philadelphia man, successful publisher of a commercial journal by day, is obliged by order of court to return every night to the insane asylum. The court indi cates that he is sane enough for business by driy, hut insane at night and must spend the night hours under restraint. Ninety of a hundred presidential candidates here can sympathize with that unfortunate Philadel phian. Many of them are approxi mately sane, in ordinary months of the year. Rut during convention and a few weeks before, the March hare at his maddest is sanity itself, compared with them. Postmaster General New plans to send mail across the continent be tween the rising and setting of the sun—and he’ll do it. When a boy you read the old ballad about “King John and the Abbot of Canterbury,” the king tells the abbot he must answer some questions or forfeit his lands. One question was, “How long will it take me to ride around the world?” The abbot, really the humble shepherd disguised as the abbot, re plies, “You must rise with the sun and ride with the same.” By this process the king will ride around the world in 24 hours. When you read th*t, you did not expect to see a man in a flying ma chine start with the su nand ride with the sun overhead, crossing from the Atlantic ocean to the Pa cific ocean, all within the daylight of one day.

Editor of Lions Club Magazine Here Recalls Days of Gold Rush Tells How Police Reporters on Denver Paper Carried Guns for Protection. Pays of the gold rush days of Cripple Creek and later newspaper days in Denver, when reporters and editors who later acquired journal istic fame were gathered on the Den ver Times, are recalled hy Charles Lee Bryson, editor of the Lions Club Magazine.
