WE WIN 7Mte Soi in Top Place Wa are some ball players In St Helens; We are at the top of th percentage column with 750 to our credit: we are going- to stay there If we can; we win from all of them alike: we didn't have a very large erowd out last Sunday, but we lick ed Farmer Bill's airjrregation from Kelso to the tune of 11 to 5 with Virgil Stevens and Jamie Jamieaon doing the battery work; "We Win" still stays at the head of our sport- In column. The game was quite exciting at times with good plays. good hitting, a few errors thrown in and of course a bonehead or two. three home runs and the socialist party tearing down the fence, Some excitement that, but the re sult was never in doubt The White Sox led off In the first inning with 2 runs and were never headed after that The result of the game is best told by the score below which shows that our boys are playing a bang up game and stand a good chance to land the penant in the Lower Columbia River League. Cathla met Is only a little lower in the col umn than we are but next Sunday we meet them on our home lot and of course expect to increase our lead at their expense.

V11S0N CHOSEN ATjALllMORH Coverner Marshall c Indiana Is Selected as His Running Kate. i1 ine unexpected and unusual has happened; the Democratic party has nominated a man who stands an excellent chance for election; a man whose record is a clean one; whose policies are pro gressive enough to suit the most fastidious. It "was confidently expected by a large number of people that the Democrats would nominate a weaker man, a con servative, or compromise candi date with no known standing be fore the people, but they have at last acted wisely and placed in the field a good, clean, capable man. If, perchance it should happen that a democrat should be elected, Wilson is greatly to be preferred over any other prominent man in the party With Roosevelt and his third party in the field representing very much the same policies as does Wilson and the Democrats, neither will draw much from iaii, dui irom eacn other, so that if the Eastern States con tinue to stand as they now do, the race between Taf t and Wii son will be close, with Roosevelt a poor third. AN UNPUBLISHED NOVEL Burnaby's Handwriting Wee So Baa N Could Not Be Reed. It waa stated at tlie time of Colonel Burnnby's dentil tbat be bad left be hind bltn the umnutK-rtpt of a novel for whit-U there was considerable competi tion among tlie publisher. This Is q'llte true. Tlie manuscript, bulky parrel, was handed to uie w ith discretionary power either to pub lish It myself or to use It in connection with the proposed bioprapuy. Here a singular and. as It finally proved, a fatal obstacle presented it self, r'amlllnr for many years with Burnaby's handwriting, I could not after diligent endeavor make out more than a sentence here and there on tbe crowded page of manuscript. Burnaby's writing was, possibly wltb tbe exception of Dean Stanley's, tbe worst I ever saw. It looked as If be fore sitting; down to write a letter be bad polled a twig out of tbe bedge. mixed a little blacking aud then gone ahead. He wrote tbe whole of bis "Bide to Khiva" and bis "Ride on Horseback Through Asia Minor" with bis own band. But before they reached the printer tbey were fairly written out by a copyist Tbe hapless man used to make oat as much as be could, tben lea re blanks for filling up wblcb he bad to seek tbe assistance of tbe anthor. Sometimes there were more blanks In a page than words. Despairing of making anything of tbe manuscript of tbe noTel. It was submitted to a publisher, who turned upon It bis most skillful ueclpberlst Neither bead nor tall could be made of tbe manuscript, and tbe Intention publishing the novel was conse quently abandoned.

Baltimore Woodrow Wllsjn. of New Jersey, Tuesday was nominated for the presidency by the democrat national convention on the forty sixth ballot The vote was: Clark, 8; Wil son, 0; Harmon. 11; absent. 3. When tbe convention assembled Tuesday evening to complete Its work by nominating a candidate for vice president and adopt a platform tbe sentiment of the convention wss strongly In favor of giving the speak er tbe vice presidency If he would ac cept. Speaker Clark, however, sent word from Washington, declining the nomination, stutlug that he preferred to remain In bis present position. Governor Ilurke, of North Dakota. Governor Marshall of Indiana, Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, aud a num ber of others were placed in nomina tion. It was apparent that the real fight for tbe vlce-prealdency rested between Governor Ilurke and Governor Mar shall, of Indiana. The slates second ing tbe nominations of the two gov ernors were about equally divided. When tbe District of Columbia was reached, one of the delegates propos ed William J. Hryan aa a vice presi dential candidate. i A roar swept the hall as tha name was mentioned, Bryan declined tbe honor and urged the selection oil either Senator Chamberlain or Governor Burke. t The first ballot on the vice-presiden tial nomination gave Marshall 3S9, Burke SOS 2-3, Chamberlain 157. The remalader of the vote was scattered among native sous. ?. 1 ilk v.. 4 : r n I .. t l , .-.TluT III Wilt t I1IIH I'.'ll ' settled a lu aiiii' s ' rutins '' " " : relgn states urn. wHen Its 'u " r bivamo k u-n h 'J ' ' uV- J',r i .,,,1 intM-s v-re mwhI-I ',,ltl I t.tntmlnu enters ami slam p n f 'if In the Fiillerl. s and on the Moor Ni-ml utiona are Made.

Saturday afternoon's session wss marked by a dramatic outburst by Mr. Bryan. Claiming the privilege of ex plaining why he and more than a dosen other delegates from Nebraska were going to switch their votes from Clark to Wilson, he declared that so long bs Champ Clark continued to ac cept the support of Charles F. Murphy and Tammany Hall, be would But vote for him. After 26 ballots had been taken with Governor Wilson gaining on each bal lot and Speaker Clark constantly los ing ground the convention nt 11:05 o'clock adjourned until Monday morn ing at 11 o'clock. There were no overnight changes lu the situation when the convention as aemblcd Monday morning. Wilson took the lead on" the 3tll ballot, get ting 4i0 votes to 45S for Clark.

Many of the so-called Wilson states shifted to support him. The result of the ballot was announced: Marshall, 6ti4; Burke, 3S7V; Chamberlain. 12'i. On the third bnllot the North Dako ta delegation withdrew the name of Governor Burke and moved that the nomination of Marshall be made unanimous. The convention witnessed many ex citing incidents, and developed a dead lock that was unequalled by any na tional convention since the republican gathering at Chicago In 1880, when General Crant was a candidate for a third term, and 306 delegates clung to his banner to the thirty-sixth and final ballot when Garfield was nominated. A remarkable feature of the conven tion was tne dominance of Bryan. De feated for temporary chairman by Judge Alton U.

So that all Orejrcn mey join In cele brating with the Elks at their grand lodge meeting in Portland for at least one day, Governor West to day issued a proclamation naming Thursday, July 11, as a legal holi day.

In no national convention In recent years has one man by sheer force of his personality been able to upset the plans of the leaders, overturn long es tablished precedent and force an in tensely hostile opposition to adopt his views without a strenuous fight. Bryan repudiated the Murphy-Tag-gart-Sulllvan attempt to mollify him, and refused election as chairman of the resolutions committee. Bryan won another victory when he forced the adoption of a resolution to defer adoption of the platform until after the nominations were made. Seat 8outh Oakota Wilson Delegates. The first real test of strength be tween the Wilson and Clark forces came in a vote on tbe South Dakota contest The Wilson forces won, the convention, by a vote of 639 V4 to 437V4 seating the i0 South Dakota Wilson delegates, thus upsetting tbe action of tho majority of the credentials com mittee and sustaining Its minority re port.

A fight by William Jennings Bryan "to lid the democratic party of the Ryan Belmont-Morgao Interests" de layed the beginning of nominating speeches at the night aesslon Thurs day from S o'clock until nearly 11. A resolution Introduced by him, which was p&Ksed by a two-thirds ma jority, declared the convention oppos ed to tbe nomination of any candidate under obligation to J. 1. Morgan, 1 hotnas F.
