L
VIGOROUS FIGHT
CHURCH LL
Floyd Nominated in New
Hampshire on Ninth
Ballot.
NOVELIST GOOD SECOND
Three Ballots Invalid Because Too
Many Votes Are Cast Platform
Indorses Roosevelt and
Condemns Passes.
CONCORD, N. H.. Bept. 18. Charles M.
Floyd, of Manchester, was nominated (or
Governor-General tonight at the close of
the hardest contest ever waged In a Re
publican convention In New Hampshire.
Nine ballots were necessary before the
choice was made, and three of these bal
lots were made void by more votes being
cast than there were delegates entitled to
seats.
Winston Churchill, of Carnlsh, the nov
elist and leader of the recently-organised
Republican Club of New Hampshire, was
Floyd's closest competitor in the final
vote. The. result of the ninth and final
ballot was: Charles M. Floyd of Man
chester, 406; Winston Churchill. 335;
Charles H. Greenleaf of Franconla, 65;
Stephen H. Gale of Exeter, 17; total votes,
7S9.
When the convention was called to or
der, the routine of organization moved
smoothly, and after the committee on
credentials had reported 805 out of 808
delegates seated, the platform was read.
Indorses Roosevelt and Congress.
The platform Indorses the administra
tion of President Roosevelt, commends
the Industry of the 69th Congress and
congratulates the country that "Re
publican financial and industrial poli
cies have brought unprecedented pros
perity." It opposes any change In the
tariff which will undermine the Repub
lican policy of protection, and Indorses
the action of the United States Senate
In passing the Gallinger shipping bill.
The remainder of the platform Is de
voted to state Issues upon which the cam
paigns of the candidates have been large
ly based. It urges strict limitation of the
Issuing of free passes by railroads, ad
ditional legislation to guard the purity
of the ballot, and legislation for the pre
vention of corrupt lobbying. The plat
form recommends that the next Legis
lature consider the question of a change
In the manner of nominations for office
and also the question of placing in the
hands of the people the direct election of
railroad commissioners and some other
state officers created by statute and now
appointed by the Governor and Council.
The platform was adopted unanimously.
First Ballots for Governor.
The first ballot for Governor was as
follows: Greenleaf, 232; Floyd, 200;
Churchill, 1D7; Pillsbury, 205; Gale, 13. No
choice.
The. second ballot also was without
result.
The third ballot was declared Inval
id, the count showing more votes cast
than there were delegates in the hall.
The announcement threw the convention
into a turmoil. A motion that ballots be
deposited one by one In a box on the
platform was carried, and balloting be
gan again.
The seventh ballot resulted: Whole
number 807; Greenleaf 246; Floyd 220
Pillsbury, 106; Churchill, 235.
DYNAMITE FROM THE SKY
TERRORISTS PURCHASE AMER-ICAX-IXVEXTED
BALLOONS.
Planned to Sail Over Peterhof Pal
ace and Kill Members of
Czar's Family.
BRUSSELS. Sept. 19.-Sensational ru
mors of a plot against the Russian Qfcar
and his family are being circulated here.
It Is stated that the revolutionaries, find
ing it Impossible to approach the palace
at Peterhof by land or sea, have pur
chased balloons from an American In
ventor, the purpose being to ascend from
the German frontier and drop down ex
plosives on the palace. It is Intended to
destroy the infant Crarevitch and Grand
Duke Vladimir.
It Is said the authorities became aware
of the plot and arrested the ringleaders,
but no confirmation of the report can be
obtained.
FLYIXO GROUP SURRENDERS
Betrayal Causes Submission to Rev
olution Commission.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 18. Disheart
ened at the capture of their principal
leaders, of whom Vladimir Masurl and a
number of others have been executed, the
"Flying Group" of the revolutionist,
which seceded from the parent organiza
tion last Winter and which has been re
sponsible for almost all the Important
assassinations and robberies since the
convocation of Parliament, has voted to
return to the fold and submit to the
orders of the central committee. This
step means certain regulation of terrorist
activity, because sentences which for
merly were passed and put Into execu
tion by this Irresponsible little group of
scarcely 100 men hereafter will have to
be approved by the central committee.
Members of the "Flying Group" are
convinced that they have had a traitor
in their ranks, because of the arrest
within the past fortnight of over half
their number In various parts of Russia,
which could have been brought about
only by the possession of inside Informa
tion. They suspect Belenzoff, the leader
of the band which committed the bank
robbery in Moscow last March, and who
made such a marvelous escape from his
captors while being brought back to
Russia from Switzerland. This remark
able escape is beat explained by the
connivance of the police. It Is rumored
that Belenzoff Is now living in close
hiding at the headquarters of the Moscow
secret police.

Fifth,' Sixth and Washington Streets
Closing Day of Informal Fashion Openings:
The Parade of Autumn Modes
Continues Thru Today!
Yesterday was a day of marked triumphs. The popular verdict sustained every claim made in advance. Thousands came and found
every pledge fulfilled to the letter. It proved to be indisputably, to all fair-minded folk, "PORTLAND'S MOST IMPORTANT
OPENING." Visitors to the store yesterday viewed as promised in
The Largest and Foremost Garment
Stores West of Chicago
AND
The Foremost Millinery Salons on
the Pacific Coast
"The most complete and comprehensive collection of fashionably authoritative modes in Women's Garments shown on this Coast." The
gorgeous style show presents the most magnificent and exquisite creations in new gowns and wraps, brought from Europe and Eastern
American fashion centers ever exploited by any Western hpuse. The conceptions are exclusive with this house the showings rival
and in many features surpass those of great style stores in the metropolitan cities of the East. To visit the exhibit today will
be, from a dress point of view, like mingling in the best society of two continents. In the gorgeous, tempting, stunning gowns and
wraps for .dinner, reception, theater, calling and street wear you will see reflected with brilliancy the very essence of Parisian dress
elegancy. The store has indeed achieved a new series of inspiring triumphs in the opening exhibits of refined feminine apparel.
'TWAS A MILLINERY TRIUMPH!
Again, we call attention to a fact we have so often demonstrated in the past that this store excels in millinery showings, in size of
stocks, in comprehensive assortments, in exclusive designs, but more particularly and over, and above all, in really authoritative and
high-class styles for particular, discriminating femininity who desire correct and refined mode in millinery. There's no finer,
handsomer millinery in the land than ours. Here one sees, spread out in almost bewildering array, the Autumn season's correct modes
in foreign and domestio designs. A bewitching convention of French, English and American pattern hats, portraying all that is
artistic and new in materials, colors and conjurings, and clearly showing the handiwork of the world's most famous designers and
creators of woman's headgear. ' .
And the Showings All Thru the Store In Over 40 Specialty
Shops Have Kept Pace
The Store's Autumn's showing again demonstrates the unquestionable leadership of the Olds, Wortman & King store in the style
world as against the ridiculous claims of the horde of "Pretenders" who long to usurp the throne, and proves conclusively "who's
who" in local style authority and patronage. t
no one could possibly view it all yesterday. Let those who came come out again today, and those who missed yesterday's great style
shows owe it as a duty to themselves to come and spend the today in sightseeing. And bear in mind
