DENVER, July 5. The question of
the selection of a candidate on the
Democratic ticket for the Vlce-Presl-dem-y
will not be determined until af
ter the nomination of a candidate for
the Presidency. This is the desire of
Mr. Bryan, and has been communicated
to the Bryan leaders. Mr. Bryan has
taken the position that not until after
the first position has been filled can
there be a really intelligent eelectlon
for the second place. When, the nomi
nation shall have been made and there
shall be an opportunity to consider its
effect upon the country at large, then,
he thinks, and not until then, can the
Vice-Prosidrncy be intelligently con
sidered. This desire on the part of Mr. Bryan
has heen received generally with favor.
Most of the delegates agree that the
situation can be sized up to better ad
vantage after the lirst selection in
made than before that event, and fur
thermore, there has been so much talk
regarding the Vice-Presidency that
most of the delegates welcome an ex
cuse for at least temporarily dropping
the subject.
Consult Over Vice-President."
The present disposition, therefore, is
not only to postpone the selection of a
Vice-Presidential candidate until after the
nomination for the first place but to
adjourn the convention for a long enough
time to permit a general exchange of
views among the leaders, and to give the
Presidential nominee an opportunity to
express his preference. Mr. Bryan has
not hesitated in letting the fact be known
that if the nomination for the Presidency
goes to him he will desire to be consulted
as to the choice of a running mate.
Ho has repeatedly said that he would
prefer Judge Gray for this position, but
today, for the first time sine the dele
gations hegan to gather, there has been
a falling off in the Gray Vice-Presidential
boom. This was especially noticeable
among Western delegates. It was gen
erally credited to the positive statement
made yesterday by Judge Gray. It is
also known that some strongly antago
nistic representations concerning Judge
Gray have been recently made to Mr.
Bryan by bis recognized advisers, who
declare that these have not failed of
effect. It is nsserfed that Ir Krvan'H
present demand for delay is due more
largely to these adverse representations
than to any other circumstance and the
tone of confidence In Mr. Gray's nomina
tion is not now so strong aa it was in the
'le-tnntnt'
Muige t.aynor s Boom CJone.
There has also been a decided falling
off during the day in the efforts to boost
Judge Gaynor, of New York, for the
Vice-Presidency, ft has been hinted that
Mr. Gaynor has antagonized the Catholic
church, "and." said a delegate who Is
himself a Catholic, "it is not to be sup
posed that we are going to take chances
in this campaign by nominating any man
win. i! rn'i m least Hcceputnie to lie
Catholic vote. In view of Mr. Taft's
record in the Philippines, we shall have
to he careful on that nnint."
- It is1 still contended, however, that If
New York will get together and name
an acceptable candidate, the Vice-Presidential
nomination will go to that state.
John Mitchell, who arrived today, when
asked regarding his proposed candidacy
for the Vice-Presidency on the Demo
cratic ticket, said:
"I am strongly disinclined to partici
pate in political life .lust now."
Beyond that he would not discuss the
subject.
fillPPPY DTDI ICC IM CPflDM
Cont!ntnd From First r.ine.)
crisy is indicated by these salving words
uttered by Mr. Bryan, at the Iroquois
Club last December when he stood up
and said:
"We must forget the pant and work for
Hie luturo. We mut forittit all and forglvs
all. For mj-self I may say I have no griev
ance. I no longer Judge a man by what
he haa done. The future is everything to
me. I want to know what he la golnc to
de In the future.'
"How tan we account for this abrupt
channe from brutal assault to smirking
palaver? Had Mr. Sullivan changed.
Was not his office held 'by fraud' then
as much as In 1906. What had happened
suddenly to make It 'passible' for 'honest
Democrats' to associate with him? Simply
this, as everybody knows. Mr. Bryan
wanted the Illinois delegation to the con
vention and to :iecnniTl!sh thnt nni.nAIA
he did not hesitate an instant to eat
lus own vicious words.
In the Purty Absorbed?
"Mr. Brya.i views me with sancti
monious horror as a 'political boss who
sh.ill never ho In the party organization
fxeept owr my protest," as a 'bush
whacker who should not bo put into my
councils to betray me.'
" My councils.' indeed! Is the Demo
tratic party leally absorbed? Has It
no councils? Is Mr. Bryan the whole
organization? 'Let the people rule." he
shouts, and forthwith proceeds to dictate
r,ot only every act, every office and every
resolution of this convention, but also
to put the ban upon every man from any
Ftale who is opposed to his candidacy or
Ills platform. Does he turn his vitupera
tion aewunst me because I am a boss?
.oi at an. i am no more or a doss now
than I was during the two campaigns
when I won his approbation by trying to
elect him.
Calls Bryan "Arrogant Boss."
"The, only boss he hates is the boss
opposed to his own arrogant self the
most impudent, domineering, devastating
boss the Democratic party has ever had.
"But there is another reason. I am
a corporation man. Well, I am. I was
in 1S96 and 1900 and am today. But
although I have been connected with cor
porations there is not a dollar In any
company which is not an incorporation
of my own private business that I abso-
lutely control. That, however, makes
no 'difference. I am a 'corporation man
but It Is only when opposed to Mr.
Bryan that I am considered unworthy of
association with the one living 'honest
"Democrat. My counsel and my help are
no longer desired.
Once Needed His Help.
It was not always so. In 1896 and
1901 the late Senator Jones many times
declared there were Just three men up
on vnotD ne never cauea xor nnaociai
assistance in vain. One was - the late
Marcus Daly, another was WITllam R.
Hearst, the third was myself. Through
his friend and manager Mr. Bryan not
only accepted gratefully., but beseeching
ly sought our aid and we gave freely
thousands and thousands of dollars. Mr.
Bryan knew then and knows, now that
I was as much of a 'corporation man
in 1896 and 1900 as I am in 1908. but did
he 'scruple abstemiously to use our
money to help his canvass? Let him
answer at his leisure, and what fol
lowed? Turns Vpon His Friends.
"After bis defeat Mr. Hearst became
his patron and paid him thousands of
dollars, only to be turned upon without
a qualm, though now when again a
candidate Mr. Bryan fawns upon him In
hope of gaining his support.
"I reap my reward In a vicious, brutal
attack from the man who professed to
be my friend. Mr. Daly died soon enough
not to feel the Ingratitude of one who
accepts a man's assistance and at the
first refusal to serve a selfish purpose,
spits in his face.
"I have replied to Mr. Bryan's vituper
ative assault upon me with calmness and
restraint. The use of expletives Is clear
ly unnecessary. This simple recital of
plain facts shall be sufficient to enable
any fair mind to determine with certain
ty at a time when harmony is the chief
requisite of party success, who is the
self-convicted falsifier, who the hypocrite,
who the real and most arrogant 'boss'
ever known in the Democratic party and
who, I regret to add. the ingrate."

SAN FRANCISCO. July 5. Fresh from
drydocks, with bunkers full of coal and
magazines filled with ammunition, fresh
ly painted and looking as spick and span
as the day they left Hampton Roads
headed for the Pacific, the 16 battleships
of the Atlantic fleet are riding at anchor
tonight in the harbor ready to sail next
Tuesday on the second half of the long
cruise around the world. At 2 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, two months and a
day after it entered the portals of the
Oolden Gate at the end of a 13,000-mile
voyage, the f wer of the American Navy,
headed by t.. flagship Connecticut, will
steam out of the harbor of San Fran
cisco under the command ef Rear-Admiral
C. S. Sperry, the third Commander-in-Chief
since the fleet sailed from Hamp
ton Roads.
The fleet will reach Honolulu on July
M. remain a week, and then proceed to
the antipodes. Elaborate preparations
for its entertainment have been made at
Auckland, Sydney and Melbourne. The
fleet will reach Manila after a visit to
Japanese ports, about October 1. Before
returning to Hampton Roads, the latter
part of February, 14 months after start
ing from the Atlantic, the battleships
will have sailed nearly all the seas on
the globe and completed the most re
markable cruise In naval history.
The reassembling of the Atlantic fleet
began more than a week ago and the
Kearsarge. which finished loading am
munition at Mare Island Navy-Yard yes
terday, was the last to drop anchor in
her column in Man-o'-War row last
night.
The fleet, according to Admiral Sperry,
is in better shape than when it left
Hampton Roads last December. The fire
control system which was only complete
on a few of the ships, is now thoroughly
Installed on each one.
The places of the Alabama and Maine,
which came around South America. with
the fleet and which sailed from here
June 8 homeward bound as a special
service squadron, have been taken by the
battleships Wisconsin and Nebraska.
Commodore H. Morrell, of the Wisconsin,
has been retired and Commander F. C.
Beatty, of the cruiser Charleston, has
been assigned to the command of that
hip. The Charleston is at Bremerton
and Commander Beatty is expected to
arrive tomorrow to assume his new
duties. Today was the last day that the pub
llo was admitted on board the warships.
Tomorrow the visitors will be restricted
to relatives and friends of officers.

Barry feels deeply the accusation,
and says It Is the first time in a career
of 13 years of railroading that fault
has been found with him. He does not
hold himself altogether blameless, but
says that he was placed on a run the
peculiarities of which he had not mas

sibility of taking trains over it with
out an experienced guide.
Barry Has Excuge to Offer.
Barry also claims that there has been
much misunderstanding about the sys
tem of double semaphores, and that in
this particular case it was impossible for
him to see the second semaphore in time
to avoid the collision. He added that
newly-oiled tracks made his wheels slip
pery and prevented prompt application of
the brakes.
There have been no further deaths as
a result of the wreck and the injured are
reported to be getting along well.

BOSTON. June 23. (Special Correspond
ence.) From Saratoga Springs to Boston
is but passing: from one historic spot to
another, and what a comfort it is to
board the train at bedtime, retire, go to
sleep and wake up at early morn at
one's destination.
The 4X)0 club women of Massachusetts
extended a cordial greeting to the 1200
delegates assembled in Boston on the
ninth biennial, and Symphony Hall was
taxed to its utmost seating capacity.
It was a sipht long to be remembered.
With the officers, delegates and alter
nates, the attendance . was about 2000,
and the entire seating capacity of the
hall was rilled with visiting club women,
entered by ticket.
It is not :the province of this letter to
give In any degree the details of this
magnirlcent gathering, but only to paint
a few word pictures. First and foremost
stands out in clear light the presiding
officer. Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker. Her
method of presiding is unique, not like
any one else; she seems to hold her forces
by keen humor. To use her own term,
"she gets hold of the convention."
World Teems With Work.
If there had been any doubt in our
minds whether or no this world we live
in was teeming with problems to be
solved, the doubt would have been soon
dlesipated when the programme of this
convention was examined,, for it fairly
bristled with problems and their pos
sible solution.
Co-operation was the magic word; to
federate for the betterment of the human
race, the slogan.
The criticism, so often heard of women's
clubs in high places, being only a social
fad. Is based on lack of knowledge, and
any one only had to listen to the reports
of the work accomplished to be con
vinced of the serious aims and practical
methods of carrying out those aims.
The social quality is undoubtedly true,
and it is well, for the old adage. ''All
work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"
is a principle that is applicable in club
life as well as elsewhere. Our social
natures need recreation that we may not
be socially dwarfed, yet the reports given
at this biennial show aims deep and
broad, and noble ideals which will develop
the best home life and civic betterment.
Clubs No Menace to Women.
Any one fearing that the clubs are a
menace to domesticity should have at

economics." Mrs. Robert Burdette rec
ommended that housekeepers simplify,
classify, glorify and jollify the day's
work. This was one of the best papers
of the. conference.
Forest preservation is a live problem
with the Federation. Encs A. Mills, of
California, gave an able address on the
subject of "Forestry,' and a plea for the
birds of the forest was earnestly made
by Mrs. May Riley Smith. She said that
the insectiverous birds belong to the eco
nomic department of nature, and if they
were destroyed humanity would have a
hard time getting along. Under present
conditions the damage to crops by insects
(which the birds would have taken care
of) Is $200,000 annually.
International scholarships Is another
question in which the clubwomen are
much Interested. Among the many
able addresses given by noted speak
ers, that of Senator Beveridge on "The
Slavery of Child Labor" should receive
mention. His array of -authentic facts
stirred every clubwoman. The result
will be. without doubt, renewed efforts
in the abolition of this slavery.
Professor Charles Zuebin spoke ably
on "Democracy and Culture." Mrs.
Julia Ward Howe was a central figure
at the welcome meeting.
The music of the convention was of
the highest order, especially the
woman's orchestra, the Bostonia Or
chestra, which rendered the most de
lightful music throughout the conven
tion. Clam 'Bake at Newport.
The excursion down the harbor, ten
dered by the Chamber of Commerce
of Boston, which some 140 clubwomen
enjoyed, was a notable event.
The "play day," as it was called,
when the convention took a day for
an excursion to the far-Tamed Newport,-
where the Rhode Island women
entertained, giving a "clam bake," was
another great day. It was amusing
in the extreme to see the woman from
the interior of our country, who had
never before tried to eat clams, and it
Is safe to say that many were not ex
actly educated up to a clam-bake din
ner. N
Many phases of the labor question
were Intelligently handled, as to wel
fare work, consumers league label,
etc., the clubwomen being thoroughly
alive to the Importance of the whole
problem.
The election of officers was a re
markable feature of the convention,
inasmuch as only one office had two
candidates. -and that one was for the
presidency. There was no stir about
even that. It was the most quiet elec
tion imaginable. Mrs. Moore, who re
ceived the largest vote, is a woman of
great executive ability and every way
fitted for the position.
Next Letter a "Call to the Wild."
But all this you have probably read
about. Wliat I would like to tell you
is that such a gathering of representa
tive women, banded together for the
good of the race, is of deep signifi
cance, and must make a definite im
pression for good on civic life ail
around us. The old, oft-repeated
definition of civilization, as given us
by Emerson, comes to us at this point
with much force, "that civilization was
the power of good women," and this
practical demonstration of the concen
tration of this power, gives the defini
tion added weight.
The next trip to write you about
will be "Call to the Wild." and will
give a bit of a glimpse of New Eng
land as a great Summer resort.
We almost forgot to tell you that
Boston had a "Rose Show' on hand
when we first arrived. Well, it was
very good, out they should go to Port
land If they desire roses.

EQUIPMENT IS COMPLETE
AIco Clubhouse One of Finest In the
State Membership Shows In
crease When New Features
Are Announced.
The Alco Club of Albany Is now
equipping one of the finest gymnasiums
in the Pacific Northwest. The Rymn-f-slum
Is being installed In the new $30f0
athletic annex to the club, which haa Just
been completed with a frontage of 62 feet
on' Third street, adjoining the club build
ing proper, which stands on Broadalbin
street. The new structure Is 109 feet
long and affords a floor space of 4150
square feet, and was designed by W.
R. Hand, an architect of Albany, and is
a pleasing modification of the Colonial
type. In addition to the gymnasium,
the annex will contain bowling alleys,
billiard and pool rooms, bath rooms,
with special provision for team work
during the Winter months.
The equipment, of the gymnasium is
being made under the direction of the
athletic committee, of whjcli D. H.
Merrill is chairman, and E. S. Crutch
field and F. C. Stellmacher are mem
bers. Already there has been a large ac
cession to the membership of the Alco
Club, which is directly traceable to the
impetus given the organization by the
increasing excellence of lta athletic
department.
Provide for Women Members.
The Alco Club baseball team is do
ing good work, and promises to create
an enviable reputation among the ath
letic organizations of the Willamette
Valley towns from now on.
Special provision has been made in
the new structure for the ladies' aux
iliary of the Alco Club, and as ath
letics Is becoming quite a fad among
the women of Albany, It is expected
that renewed interest will be aroused
because of the superior advantages of
fered the fair sex for the acquirement
of athletic training in the new struc
ture. The apartments designed for the
accommodations of the women contain
every convenience and up-to-date re
quirement. Among the features of the gym
nasium Is a gallery with a seating
capacity of 400 persons, where spec
tators may witness in comfort the ath
letic entertainments which will form
a feature of club life during the com
ing season.
The Alco Club is typical of the best
social life of Albany. Its membership
includes the leading business men of
the city and their families. The club
was organized May 16, 1903, its offi

Significance of Club's Title.
The objects, of the club then Bet
forth were the mental, physical and
social enjoyment of its members, and
among the provisions of the organiza
tion was one that there should be no
liquor sold or used in the rooms of the
club, and that no games should be
played for money or on a wager.
The name of the club was the happy
inspiration of E. D. Cusick, and Is
composed by using the -i..tial letters of
the words "Albany. Linn County, Ore
gon" A-L-C O. Its successful begin
ning was largely due to the efforts
of E. W. Langdon and Edwin Stone.
The club has flourished and today has
a membership of about 200. The pres

BURTOX FLOPS TO DEMOCRATS
Says Taffs Nomination Was Secured
Through Misuse of Patronage.
DENVER, Colo:, July 6. The acces
sion of ex-United States Senator J. R.
Burton .of Kansas, to the ranks of the
Democratic party, at least for the nexf
campaign, was announced today. Mr.
Burton came In with the Kansas dele
gation, and while not a delegate, min
gled freely with the Democrats of that
state. He lost no time in making
known his intention of supporting the
nominee of the Denver convention, and
expressed the opinion that the honor
of that nomination would be awarded
to Mr. Bryon.
"I won't," he said, "support Taft, for
the reason that his nomination was se
cured through the use of patronage,
and I regard the use of patronage as
the most corrupting thing in govern
ment. I would not support a Hepub
llcan or a Democrat or anybody who
was nominated as Mr. Taft was, by
mlsua eof public office. The supreme
question is, shall we have a democracy
or a despotism? Roosevelt has made
more progress for autocracy In this
country than all other Presidents we
have had and less for -democracy.
"He haa given us a political trust
that Is a tnousand times more danger
ous than all the commercial trusts. ml
the first trust to be busted Is the polit
ical trust. That trust ia founded on
patronage, and it can be destroyed only
by destroying patronage. Just as Mr.
Bryan said yesterday, the paramount
question Is whether or not thi Gov
ernment shall be controlled by a polit
ical oligarchy or by the people. The
tariff and all other questions fall into
insignificance when compared with this
question of the use of patronage. For
this reason, if for no other, I shall sup
port the nominee of the Democratic
convention."
