KERN OF INDIANA
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT
"Dark Horse" Proves Victor In
Contest For Second Place
On the Ticket.
(By AEsocratfii rress.J
DENVER, Colo., July 10. Will
iam Jennings Bryan was today nomi
nated by a national Democratic con
vention tho third time, for tho offlco
of president, amid scenes of frenzied
enthusiasm. The result came after
an all night session, the nomination
being made on tho first ballot, tho
vote standing Bryan 892 V6, Gov.
John A. Johnson of Minnesota, 46,
and Judge George Gray of Delaware
59.
In tho vote on president, the ab
sent or not voting numbered eight.
The total vote was 1,006.
Tho announcement of the result
was the signal for a wild demonstra
tion equalling in turbulence if not
duration tho record-breaking display
which Wednesday afternoon greeted
the first mention of Bryan's name in
the convention. The vote was made
unanimous and by acclamation.
The taking of tho voto waa with
breathless Interest as state after state
swelled Bryan's strength. When
New York was reached, Murphy's an
nouncement, "78 voted for Bryan,"
brought out a burst of enthusiasm
which form time compelled the sus
pension of the roll call. Pennsylva
nia after a sharp disagreement in
the delegation divided its vote.
Adjournment was taken at 1:35
o'clock this morning until 1 o'clock
this afternoon, after a continuous
session of eight hours. There wero
wild scenes as the delegates and
spectators left the hall amid a re
sounding chorus of "Bryan, Bryan,
Bryan."
Alabama the first state on the roll
call yielded to Nebraska and Ignatius
J. Dunn of Omaha placed In nomina
tion tho famous commoner, W. J.
Bryan. Dunn's speech was an earnest
one and that he had a sympathetic
audience was so demonstrated by
applause and as he closed his address
a tremendous outburst of enthusiasm
lasted upward of forty-five minutes.
, Tho nomination of John A. John
son by Hon. Winfleld Scott Hammond
also precipitated a demonstration, tne
Minnesota delegation being Its storm J
center.
( Judge Gray's nomination by L. T.
Handy, also received vociferous ap
plause, but tho demonstrations for
Johnson and Gray failed when com
pared with that for Bryan. The
Bryan enthusiasm was kept up by
numerous seconding speeches, one of
which was by Senator Gearln of Ore
gon. f Many Conferences Held.
Owing to tho terrific strain of the
all night session, a majority of the
delegates slept late today. There
were several lightly attended confer
ences on tho vice-presidency but no
thing tangible apparently developed.
The most Important of these gath
erings was in the rooms of Charles
Bryan, a brother of the nominee, but
at Its conclusion Mr. Bryan stated
that so far as he knew there was no
concentration on any particular can
didate. Ho added that he was ab
solutely without advices of any kind
from Lincoln and that he would not
oven venture a prediction regarding
the outcome on the vice-presidential
situation.
The name of Gray was frequently
mentioned but there seemed to be a
fear that he would not accept.
Friends of John W. Kern of Indiana,
are very active. Gov. Folk of Mis
souri, said ho would not permit his
name to bo presented. Ex-Senator
James Smith of New Jersey, express
ed tho opinion of a largo numbor of
delegates when ho declared, "Bryan
will name his running mato and ho
should name him. I think about tho
vieo-presidency Just ns I did about the
platform and that is to say that
Bryan should be consulted and his
wishes respected."
TIM
THE
Former Governor Kern Nomi
nated For Vice-President by
Democrats.
fBy Associated Pross.1
DENVER, Colo., July 10. Ex
Governor John W. Kern of Indiana,
was this afternoon nominated for
vice-president by acclamation by tho
National Democratic Convention.
Kern had been a dark horso and
when he was first brought out, no
one thought that he would have any
particular strength. Frequent con
ferences since the convention opened
and especially this morning after the
presidency was settled, the leaders
began to pick on Kern as the most
likely man to gain them votes In
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio and at
the same bo strong with the con
servative east. With Bryan at the
head of the ticket, the leaders
thought that the west would be satis
fled. The first ballot was mado one of
acclamation for Kern, the trend of
the nominating speeches and the ex
pressions from the states indicating
that it was a landslide to the Indiana
man.
Among the others whose names
wero placed In nomination were Chas
A. Towne of New York, Archibald
McNeil of Connecticut, Clark How
ell of Georgia, and W- Gf Conradfof
Montana. John Mitchell, former
piesident of the United Mine Work
ers, Judge Gray of Delaware and ex
Governor Douglas of Massachusetts,
refused to allow their names to go
before the convention.
Slow In Gathering.
At one o'clock not one-fourth of
tho delegates were In their seats.
The galleries were packed. The
Texans have a banner ready spring
with "Texas is for Gray for vice-
president," and Gray's friends say
they will do their best to make him
accept if he is nominated.
At 1:51 p. m., tho nominations for
vice-president commenced. Speeches
were limited to ten minutes and the
call of states began at 1:35 o'clock.
Alabama yielded to Indiana and at
1:56 o'clock Marshal of Indiana,
named ex-Governor J. W. Kern of
that state for vice-president.

cheering for Kern and South Dako

Plan Will Be Great Boon
to the Local Lumber
Industry.
PORTLAND, July 11. The Tele
gram says:
"Coos Bay ports will soon have
ships along their wharves direct from
the great cities of Great Britain, Ger
many and Belgium. Arrangements
are now being made by T. S. Mc
Grath of this city, to extend the line
of sailing ships that he operates be
tween Europe and California ports
up to Coos Bay. Final action Is
awaiting reports fiom Washington
bearing on the depth of water over
the Coos Bay bar.
"T,he rapid growth of Marshfield
and North Bend and the coming to
life of Empire City has set local ship
pers to thinking, and before many
months, it Is thought that many
cargoes of cement and Iron will be
landed at the Southern Oregon ports
from vessels direct from the Old
World. Smaller vessels of the Europe-California
fleet can cross the
C003 bar now, but the time will
come, says Mr. McGrath, and that
not far away, when the largest wind
jammers that round the corner can.
make Marshfield and North Bend
with full cargoes.
"At the present time snlllng ships
that take cargoes Into San Pedro,
which Is the seaport for Los Angeles,
have to leave there empty. The ships
of the McGrath line now go to Eu
reka for their cargoes, but this order
of things is to be changed just as
soon as the Coos Bayites get bisy
and take steps towards deepening the
channel Into their ports. Then Eu
reka will have to share with the Ore
gon cities in furnishing the outward
cargoes for the llme-julcers.
"The.llne of sailing ships into San
Pedro and Eureka was established
about six months ago, and, In spite of
the business depression that has
bothered the eastern section of Amer
ica a great deal and the western side
of the Western Hemisphere a little
bit, has done exceedingly well. Ships
sail from Europe once a month, every
other one leaving some port In Great
Britain, while the next sails from
Hamburg or Antwerp. When the
new order of things comes and Coos
Bay Is placed on the company's map,
sailings will be made every 15 to
20 days. The vessels from the con
tinent bring cement, while those
from England and Scotland have gen
eral cargoes of Iron, fire bricks, coke,
ale, whisky, crockery and other lines.
" 'Coos Bay has become such an
Important place that Congress can
not long keep back improvements on
the bar and harbor,' said Mr. Mc
Grath this morning. 'Southern,.
Oregon Is In need of a great seaport,,
and Coos Bay will furnish that need.
The people of Marshfield, North BendV
and Empire City should get together
and begin active work towards get
ting a million dollars to deepen the
entrance to the bay. If thl3 Is done,
tho Pacific coast will have another
seaport that will bring vessels to it
from all over the world, and the.
lands across the seas will demand
Southern Oregon lumber to build up
their cities and colonies. Coos Bay
will je a great rival to Eureka.' "
MAY CHANGE PAVING.
North Bend Figures On Changing
Fiom Plniilc to Asphalt.
Tho North Bend city council will
hold a meeting early next week to
pass upon tho advisability of chang
ing tho paving recently ordered there
from plank to asphalt. A number of
tho property owners aie said to favor
tho change.
