A "caucus" of IrlBh sympathizers among the delegates applied to .the resolutions committee for a five min utes hearing in which to present their arguments for an Irish recog nition plank. The "caucus" chair man stated that he was prompted to service an ultimatum on the commit tee that the fight for an Irish plank ill be made on the convention floor.

With four candidates priced in nomination be fore it, the democratic national con vention after a brUtf session today found the platform committee un able to make a report and adjourned until 8 o'clock tonight. An attempt to suspend the rules and go ahead with the balloting was met with such obvious disapproval 'by the conven tion that it was not pressed. Today"s brief session was marked by quiet ness in comparison with the noisy, turbulent session of yesterday. No one could estimate the probable dur ation of tonight's sesjkTn and there were no assurances that it might con tinue until daylight. The platform committee continued working during the day. hoping to harmonise the differences over the prohibition plank, the league of nations, and the Irish question.

WAR - RECORD" IS CITED fiaid That In nso Cox Is Selected to Hem! the Democratic Ticket a Victory In Ohio Is Pluut Ically Assured. (By Associated Press.) - SAN FRANCISCO. June 30 The democracy of Ohio, the home state of the republican presidential nom inee, urged the national convention today to select Governor James M. Cox as the democratic candidate for president. , "With Cox as your candidate. Ohio (s democratic, and with Ohio dem ocratic, victory is yours," declared Judge James G. Johnson, of Spring rield, Ohio, in formally presenting Governor Cox's name. "When this country was forced into the great world war, our people in common with their fellow country men in all of the states were thrill ed by the call of .the great man who sits in the seat of Washington and Lincoln, and who with superb splint ind matchless phrase Interpretated the highest aspirations and the ln vncll ic purpose olf the Ir.se peoples of this earth. If envy, hatred and passion shall deprive him of his just recognition now. nnd shall deprive his country and humanity of the benefits of his services in their be half, succeeding generations will pay increasing devotion to his hon sr. The mighty appeal he made to he . resistless forces of civilization will place him among the colossal figures in the history of mankind. ."As we enter tho great contest now impend-ing. our opponents fan every flame of discontent. They pool every discordant element, in order to -arry tho election. Unmindful and re gardless of the effect ou the welfaro of the republic, ond on orderly pro cesses ot society, they arouse hitter prejudice and set in motion forces which it Is easy to, see may become absolutely uncontrollable. They do lot hesitate to cast a cloud on th glory won Cor our country by the mil lions of our boys who grrandly car ried the flag on the battlefields of Europe with an unconquerable spir it placed It at the very front of the columns of civilization. "The democratic party needs a t-andldate who holds in his heart the memoriy ot the glorious record of the Incomparable American boy and who looks forward with courage and capacity to grasp the. opportunities and to meet the difficulties and the dairgers yet to come. He must know tho beginnings and the reasons for the republic, know that Americani zation la not an Idle ceremony that 't Is not a thing to be gained in a dav or a year, but that it is the re sult of the slow process of education and of the influence of association ind contact with those' who. have enjoyed and appreciate what enlight ened liberty Is. He must know that America cannot hold herseti away tzz io I NO Hit K WORKS. l " The city police department . was today strictly ordred to enforce the ordinance prohibit-. Ing the shooting of firecrackers and fireworks inside the city limits. No firecrackers or fire- works of am kind are permit- ted under the terms of the ordinance which the police ofti- cers state will be carried out as completely as possible. Any dls- play ot fireworks must be made outside the city limits. . from the rest of the world, that sci ence and Invention and genius have removed all barriers on land and sea and have brought together all the races whether they will or not. He must realize that tho huge debts Im posed upon all nations by the bloody struggle make it Imperative that the American president shall be a man of great business and executive a blllty. that this debt can only be paid by wealth produced in the fac tories and the mines and on the farms of the country, and that there must be the devoted, united and har monious .work of every capitalist and very worker to accomplish the nr'ghtv task. Tho taxes must be In telligently laid to the end that this capital and this labor, may be, as far as possible, unfettered. "The great slate, or wntcn l nave spoken, presents a man who has these qualities In full and rounded meas ure. His strength is not the passing fancy of a mere lucky turn on the po'ltlrni board. It is the strength and power that is slowly fixed in the ludgent of the people after actual performance and service." o : Sugar Dealers Said To be Profiteering (By Associated Press.)

Coming Down LACK TEACHERS List of 85 Districts Where ln structors Are Needed Pre pared by County Supt. UNIONS.. ARE FORMED Consolidation Plan Is Ibtpldly Gain ing In Favor Throughout the County and First of Per manent Unions. Formed. From actual figures 80 schools In Douglas county- will be without teachers duritrg the coming fall and winter County School Superintendent O. C. Rrown states. Mr. Brown has been unjustly criticized recently for statements pertaining to the short age ot teachers. It being intimated that such statements had been made to induce school, districts to Increase the nnv nf tenchera At thn teiichArs examination started yesterday Mr. Brown gave the numbers of dis tricts" where no applications havy. been received and where there are no prospects for teachers at tho present time. These districts have been endeavoring to secure contracts with teachers but have failed utter ly. : t There are several reasons for this condition. Rural districts are un able to pay the prices offered by city schools. Consequently the teachers take city schools in pre ference to the rural schools. During I the past fey years other lines oi work have offered Inducements and girls instead of entering the teach ing profession have taken tip other lllnes of work where better wages, shorter hours and more agreeable conditions might be obtained. Tho falling off in the number of teach ers has been noticeable all over the United States and at the same time many 6f the experienced instructors "have resigned to go Into other pro fessions. The normal schools re Iport a di" tried falling off In tho 'number of applications received and as a result nevr teachers are not being trained'as rapidly as the exper ienced ones leave the work, j Such conditions can be partially allavfcited by Increased salaries, but ! 'even 1 hut will not altogether bring ubout the desired result. At present 'the only solution appears to be tem porary or permanent consolidation. Two permanent consolidations It Is believed have been effected, one at Glendale, where the school dis tricts in that Immediate Vicinity have decided to combine perman ently and the other at Myrtle Creek where the same action has been taken. These districts held an elec tion recently and the vote taken was pronounced favorable to the consoli dation plan. However, the canvass has not been made and.untA such time as the court finds opportunity to count the ballots the xact out- come will not be known.'' 1 In these consolidations all districts will ' combine in the suport of a school which, will be centrally lo cated. Transportation will he fur- ulshed for all student and as a re sult, children "residing In rural dls. trlcts receive the same educational advantages as those -in the more populous city districts. The com bined funds penults the employment of highly trained and efficient In structors, modern -. buildings - and complete equipment. - The consolidated schools will be located In the towns of Myrtle Creek and Glendale, and the districts Im mediately surrounding those placas. These schools wll be put on a stand ard basis at once and will bo on a par with any schools to be found In th state, according to present plans. Temporary consolidations hare been voted In other places and have been ..working very successfully. On account of the newnesss of the Idea some districts did not approve of permanent consolidation until a trial bad been given but next year It Is .believed that nany of the tempor ary unioni will be made permanent. One of the reasons for the rapidly Increasing sentiment in favor of school consolidation is the improve ment being made to the roads and highways 'and the use of aufomo- Jjftes b rural resident. Transpor tation difficulties have been solved and school punils may be transfer red several nmes each day to and frwin well equipped schools over good roads and In a rojnfortnble manner. In fact, the consolidation plan has been found to be an advantage ovet the old system. In former winters children in rur.11 districts have gone through miles of mud In wet, dls agreeable weather attending school, and consequently lost a great deal beeauso of colds which prevented regular attendance. The ajutomo has so revolutionized this, however, that the pupils now go to and from school In closed cars furnished by the districts and suffer no ill efr fects and in schools where consoli dation Tias been tried attendance has been found to "be greatly Im proved. Within a few years the Jiighway will be paved and lateral roads will be much better than at the present time. It is then thought that consolidation of school districts will become even more greatlyt fav ored than at present.

While there are usually be tween 75 and 100 teachers taking the examinations, up to noon tonay only 42 have registered. There Is proof from all sides that the teach ers are leaving their work and go ing Into other professions, and in iddftion to the large number who have done this, over thirty who taught last year in the county have taken unto themselves a school of one, or. in other words, have faller victim to Cupid's arrows and taken up work more Interesting.
