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. You are invited
to come out to the ball park and
watch us do it

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.

Burnaby's handwriting, I could not
after diligent endeavor make out more
than a sentence here and there on tbe
crowded page of manuscript.

worst I ever saw. It looked as If be

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

Bryan Switches to Wilson.
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

and Tammany Hall, be would But vote
for him.

So that all Orejrcn mey join In cele

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.
