Known in his youth as "the silver-tongued boy orator of the Platte" it waa Mr. Bryan's elo quence in his famous "cross of gold" speech at the democratic na tional convention In Chicago in 1S96 that made his the choice of his party. He polled more than 6.500.0UU votes In his first cam paign.

Armeni ans are eligible to naturalisation aa American citizens. Federal Judge, C. K. Wolverton decided today. In the noted "Cartolian case," the Judge handed down a decision that waa an entire victory for tha Asia Minor people. Aa the entire proceeding: waa a teat case It la expected that tba government will appeal to the Uni ted Statea aupreme court. Under direction of former United Statea District Attorney John S. Coke, the federal government had aued for annulment of the natural ization papers of Tatoa O. Carto lian, a member of the local firm of rug dealers. The case of the government waa based on the assumption that Amerlans are of Asiatic descent and therefore not eligible to natur alisation. Judge Wolverton, In a decision that took him 25 minutes to read, held otherwise. The chief points he cohered were: ' 1. That Armenians In Asia Minor are of "Alpine" stock and of Euro pean persuasion. 2. That they are white persona" as commonly recognised In speech of common usage and as popularly understood and Interpreted lnjhls country by our forefathera and by the community at large when tbe law regarding naturalization was adopted by congress. 3. That they amalgamate read ily with the white races, Including the white people of tbe United Statea. - The time element waa an Import ant feature for the government bad asserted that even If Armenians were considered white at present, they were not so classified 'When the naturalisation law was paaaed. It was the Intention of the early legislators of the country to bar them, the government alleged. ' The decision took the oppoalba View. The action against Cartoilan waa purely of a test nature and had no personal element In It, according: to the federal prosecutors. - - Judge VMalverton atated that "It la now judicially determined that the mere color of the skin of tbe Individual does not afford a prac tical test as to whether he la elig ible to American citlxenshlp aa. that dlffera greatly among persons of the same race." It waa pointed out by the court that "the lest Is racial and for practical purposes of the statute, must be applied to a group of liv ing persons who now possess In common the requisite charactexla tics for naturalization. Judge Wolverton quoted at length trnm many American and Kurnpenn anthropologists and eth nologists. lie said "that (he Armenians ar of the Alpine stock can acarcely be doubted. The earliest authorities so classify them, as well as those coming later."
