DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION Seven Active Candidates Have Their Hats in the Ring—No Candidate Has Necessary Two-Thirds © of Delegates. Baltimore, June 18.—Final plans are being made and before the. week ends | Baltimore will be ready to care for; the Democratic convention a week) from now, | | There is a strong sentiment among leaders who have arrived here in favor of changing the two-thirds rule to a majority. The most that will be done, if any action is taken, will be a submission of the question to the Democrats in the states, their verdict to be reported to the, convention of 1916. As to candidates there are seven having pledged delegates, and there is gossip regarding a few possible dark horses. Estimates made of the strength of the active candidates credit Clark with 412 votes, Wilson 280, Underwood 88, Harmon 31, Mar- shall 30, Baldwin 14 ang Burke 10. Necessary to a choice, 730. Gaynor Says “Vent Dubbe.” Trading of delegates by party lead- ers will be missing at next week's function. As a result of the primary election system most of the delegates have instructions. If Mayor Gaynor of New York should enter the race with the back- ing of Murphy’s ninety New York delegates, it would be an impressive feature of the contest. Governor Foss of Massachusetts is also regarded as a possibility, Half a dozen of the party leaders | are considered for temporary chair- | “Tim” Woodruff, former lieutenant governor of New York and leader of the Brooklyn Republicans, declared he would support Roosevelt because he thought the national committee had overstepped all bounds in taking away delegates from the colonel.

Galena, Kan., June 18.—The Frisco main line train went into the ditch here at 2 o’clock a. m., when it struck a bank of gravel which was washed on the track. Fireman Smith jumped when the accident happened, but En- gineer Jack Dwire of Monett, Mo., stayed at the throttle until the engine went over on his side. His foot was caught, but he pulled off the heel of his shoe and was not injured. Only the engine and tender went over, ular. A friend ad- vised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Ready to Bolt. Chicago, June 18.—Roosevelt dele- gates in an early morning caucus voted that it was the sense of the meeting that nothing less than 540 of the uncontested delegates could be regarded as a binding majority of the Republican convention. This was construed by the delegates present as meaning, as one of them put it, a “bolt at the go-off.” Negro Delegates in a Wreck. Chicago.

GREATEST POLITICAL STRUGGLE Republican Adherents at Chicago Await Opening of Convention—Two Conventions May Be Held—No One Can Foresee Outcome. Chicago, June 18.—oth sides are lining up their forces tor the greatest struggle ever waged for the control j of the Republican party, The fight which Gov. Hadley of Missouri will lead on the floor of the convention from the tap of the gavel will be over fundamental principles. The Republican party has come to the Point where the ways divide. The details of the procedure are till subject to change. The situation is so unstable that unexpected changes may be called for on short notice, In the matter of the temporary chairmanship, for instance, Gov. Me: Govern of Wisconsin has _ virtually been agreed upon as the representa- tive of Roosevelt’s forces. But at the last minute the name of Borah may be substituted if it should be concluded that he would poll more votes in the convention. Prepared for Emergencies.

He has been over the figures i tail with Col. Roosevelt and they } assert that with every allow made, the Taft men will prove i minority. If Dixon’s belief is correct, the fight is over, for alleged fraudul seated delegates will not be fu recognized in the proceedings of convention. If he is mistaken, and the delegates already seated should hold the balance of power, then the struggle will reach a new stage. That is the situation that the Re- publican party confronts; a situation that might lead to almost any de- velopments. There is a possibility of &@ new progressive party coming out of it; a party that would appeal to all the progressive voters of the na- tion. The progressive leaders do not ad- mit this possibility, however, for they thoroughly believe that Roosevelt will | control the convention and will get the nomination. i ner Profit in Three-Cent Fares. Cleveland, June 18.—All records of earnings under three-cent fares were smashed by the street railway com- pany here in May. The report shows an actual surplus of $32.000. Even President J. K. Stanley gasped with astonishment when he scanned the figures. A small deficit had been ex- pected. _——— Congress is in Eclipse.

You can at all.times guarantee the American Vault to be water proof, and everything else that is claimed for it. Among the claimed you will tind the different points brought out distinctly in our catalogue, as the American in’ manufactured on the plan “Not how cheap, but how good.’ There is one point that makes the American vault water proof, and that is that the directions that accompany each vaultin a tag attached to the vault, and also a copy of which is sent. with each invoice to dealers, wherein we ask that when the vault is being used that it be sealed thoroughly, that is that the center screw or bolt be reversed to the left 10 or 12 times. If this is done, you never need to be afraid of the American. It is true to its name, and all that is necessary is that the instructions are followed.
