Platform
SEAGIRT, N. J., July 3. Upon the
visit here tomorrow of the National
committee awaits the planning of the
Democratic campaign. Until the com
mittee's arrival, Governor Wilson will
say no word of the form which he
expects the line of tattle to take. The
committee which will visit the nomi
nee in a body at his Summer home Is
- expected her at 2 P. M., and after
luncheon under the trees of the Gov
ernor's lawn will meet with him in
conference.
At this meeting the Governor ex
pects to discuss with the committee
men three things, namely, the plat
form, the chairmanship of the com
mittee and the campaign trip or trips.
At 9 o'clock, tonight the Governor's
callers had given him no opportunity
to read the platform. He said he
would read it closely in the course of
the evening. Until he should have di
gested it, he said, he would not dis
cuss it.
Governor Wilson made it clear -tonight
that his "mind was open" on
the chairmanship. He had made no
selection, he said nor would he choose
the man until after the conference.
Three names were oftenest on his
callers' lips today in this connection,
but when each was suggested to the
Governor tonight, he had only one re
ply: "I have made no choice."
The men suggested were William
E. McCombs, who managed the Gov
ernor's primary campaign; Robert S.
Hudsepth, of Jersey City, twice East
ern campaign manager of the Demo
cratic party, and Senator O'Gorman,
of New York, whom the Governor re
gards as an ardent and capable sup
porter. As to the campaign trips, the Gov-
to remain &l uuiiie. jrxv earn turns111'
that he washed he would not have to
stir from Seagirt. He fears his coun
sellors tomorrow will advise a long
tour, but if they could show him how
it would help, he said, he woud go
willinelv.
The Governor waved the olive
branch tonight in the direction of ex
United States Senator Smith, by ex
pressing a wish that Mr. Smith visit
him here next Monday with Wilson
men of New Jersey's delegation at
Baltimore.
Governor Wilson included James
Nugent. WThen informed that Mr. Nu
gent was reported to have given out
an interview declaring he would sup
port the nominee, Governor Wilson
expressed a keen desire to see it and
"get acquainted with Mr. Nugent
again."
Wearied; but happy and confident of
victory in the coming campaign, the
delegates to the Democratic national
convention dispersed to their homes
today. They had nominated a ticket
" which it was admitted, represented
both wings of the party and the party
declarations of principles, adopted
unanimously, was one of the most ad

The scenes that accompanied the

, sions bf the week that had preceded
them. The fight was taken out of
both sides. The only dramatic inci
dent was the great "valadictory" of
William Jennings Bryan, delivered
shortly after 1 o'clock this morning,
y which brought his devoted followers
to their feet in what proved to be the
final demonstration of the long drarn

iticians Taggart," Murphy, Sullivan
and their lieutenants v.ho had gone
down to defeat before Bryan in every
issue raised during the progress of
the convention, declared that neither
Burke nor Chamberlain should be the
man. They pointed out that Chamber-
lain was a Democrat representing a
Republican state in the upper branch
of eoneresa.
"Nominate him and a Republican
would certainly take his place in the
senate," they said.
"The Democrats are fully as much

So far as Governor Burke was con

votes. They insisted that the real
candidate for the place was Marshall.
Some of them wanted Senator Kern,
of Indiana. He could have had prac

he positively refused asserting that
he was not strong enough to stand
the worries of another protracted
campaign, and that he preferred hia
seat in the senate. .'

RING TO THE LAST
ROOSEVELT AND FRIENDS HAVE
LONG CONFERENCE AT
OYSTER BAY
EX-PRESIDENT CERTAIN OF SUCCESS
T. R. Denies That Nomination Of Wil
son Has Given Third-Party
Movement Serious
Setback
OYSTER BAY, N. Y., July 3. With
the Democratic National ticket in the
field, Colonel Roosevelt and a group
of his lieutenants took up today the
work of laying the foundation upon
which they hope to build a new party.
Since the birth of the party in Chi
cago little has been done, as Colonel
Roosevelt said he felt it necessary to
await the outcome at Baltimore. The
situation jn the light of the nomina
tion of Woodrow Wilson was discuss
ed at a conference at Sagamore Hill
which was attended by Senator Dix
on, of Montana; William Flinn ,of
Pittsburg; George W. Perkins and
Frank A. Munsey, of New York, and
E. A. Van Valkenburg of Philadelphia.
The presence of these men at Saga
more Hill gave rise to reports that
the third-party movement had suffer
ed a serious setback as a result of
the selection of candidates by the
Democratic convention and that some
of Colonel Roosevelt's leaders were in
favor of abandoning the fight. Col
onel Roosevelt denied this emphatic
ally. "There was no thought of abandon
ing the fight," said he. "These men
simply came to talk over the situa
tion with me and to discuss details of
the call for the National convention."
The statement of Governor Osborn,
of Michigan, one of the seven. Govern
ors who asked Colonel Roosevelt to
became a candidate for the Republi
can nomination that in his opinion no
third party was now necessary was
cited to the Colonel as one reason for
the reports that all was going well
with the movement.

national anthem. This poem was written by-Francis Scott Key, an attorney who had gone to the British
fleet in Chesapeake bay under a flag of truce in an effort to arrange for the release of a prisoner of war.
Mr. Key was detained on board a Ship while the attack was made on Baltimore, Sept. 10, 1814. The flag
was still flying when darkness hid the scene, and toward morning the firing ceased. Key knew that the
battle was over, but he did not know which side was victorious, and while pacing the deck of the British
vessel in restless anxiety he thought of the theme and composed most of the lines of "The Star Spangled
Banner." When dawn came he saw the flag still waving.

BEST TRAINED DOG
"Rowdy," a pet dog of Mr. and Mrs.
Bean, of Gladstone, which was con
sidered" the most intelligent dog in
the qounty, died at the Bean home at
Gladstone Wednesday evening. Dr.
Thomas, a veterinary surgeon, .made
an examination of the "dog's stomach
and found a quantity of ground glass.
The animal had been given this short
ly after an article appeared in the
Morning Enterprise regarding the
dog's intelligence. Many of the residents-of
Gladstone are indignant as
a result of the poisoning and a re
ward would be gladly given by them
and the owners if the guilty person
can be apprehended. Mr. Bean was
offered recently $500 for the animal
but it being a pet of the family, was
refused. "Rowdy" would do as he
was bidden by his master, and . his
tricks were amazing to those who had
witnessed them.

A Push Club was organized at Log
an Tuesday evening at the Harding
Grange Hall. A temporary organiza-v
tion was made at a meeting held last
week, and the permanent organization
made Tuesday evening. '
The object of the club is' to work
for the interest of an electric car line
to extend from Portland and to con
nect with the Clackamas Southern in
the vicinity of Molalla. It was through
the efforts of the East Side Commer
cial Club of Portland that the organ
ization of the Logan Push Club was
effected, and by C. F .Clark, formerly
of Clackamas but now of Portland,
who is a member of the East Side
Commercial Club. The' nearest rail
road to Logan is at Estacada, seven
and one-half miles, and to Oregon
City, ten miles. (The railroad would
pass through a timber belt of more
than 5,000,000 feet, which is in three
townships. Redland will organize a
Push Club similar to that of ' Logan
and Stone, and will assist in working
for the proposed railroad. The mem
bers of Clackamas Push Club, Stone
Push Club and Logan Push Club will
be in attendance to assist with its or
ganization. The clubs are to have
practically the same by-laws, and will
work in conjunction. It is the inten
tion of these clubs to ask the Live
Wires of the Oregon City Commercial
Club to work in the interest of a free
dock in Oregon City, and if this is
done much of the produce from that
part of the country will be shipped to
this city over the railroad.
The officers of the Logan Push Club
are as follows: H. E. Babler, presi
dent; L. Funk, vice-president, and O",
D. Robbins, secretary and treasurer.
A-e6Tiimittee was appointed to get the
statistical information embracing ton
nage and population, this committee
being composed of A. A. Allen, Henry
Babler, George Kohl, C. F. M. Brown
and E. Sloper.
C. F. M. Brown ,who is one of the
well known business men of Losan
who was in 'this city Wednesday, stat
ed that all-the residents of the sec
tion are enthused over the proposed
railroad, and that the club- just organ
ized at Logan as well as the other
clubs at Clackamas and Stone, were
not of a political nature, but were to
work for the good of the people.
The Push Clubs will meet a delega
tion from the Oregon City Commer
cial Club July 25 to determine the
site of a bridge crossing the Clacka
mas xiver either at Barton or at Eag
le Creek. The people of Logan as
well as at Redland, Stone and at
Clackamas, where the Push Clubs
have been organized or where . they
are to be organized, are opposed to
the division of the county.
