BOSTON, Aug. 29. Public utterances
from various state leaders yesterday de
veloped new interest in the struggle for
the Democratic nomination for governor
of Massachusetts. District Attorney John
B. Moran led off by sending a caustic
letter to Josiah Quincy, chairman of the
Democratic State committee, refusing
the hitter's suggestion to submit the
nomination issue to William Jennings
Bryan. The district attorney forwarded
one of his campaign buttons to Chair
man Quincy with the remark that the
wearing of the same would be proof of
Mr. Quiney's recognition of the Massa
chusets. people to govern themselves in
defiance to dictation by self-constituted
bosses.
Chairman Quincy replied by promising
vigorous hostility to Mr. Moran's can
didacy. He added, however, that he
would cease his opposition to Moran af
ter the latter had become satisfied that
a majority of the Democrats wanted a
candidate whose nomination to his mind
spelled "humiliation and disaster."
Mr. Quincy intimated that he would
resign big position ag chairman if Mr.
Moran were nominated. Former Con
gressman J. R. Thayer announced that
he would not be a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor un
der any circumstances, H. M. Whitney
recently made a similar announcement
and Former Governor Douglas has de

courtesy to show the representative ship
of a friendly country and is always ap

intense cold that caused the glacial pe

sphere was burled under Ice, It Is only
necessary to look to slight changes In
the composition of the atmosphere. The
active agent in these changes Is thought
to have been carbon dloxid. It has
been shown that this gas possesses so
great a power to retain solar heat that
its addition to the extent of only one
tenth of 1 per cent of the present at
mosphere would suffice to produce a
tertiary climate and that taking away
only one-fiftieth of 1 per cent from the
present atmosphere would bring ou
glaclatlon. It has been conjectured that
the fall of meteors was the source of
the extra supply of carbon dloxid in
former geological periods.

to cut down, but being weak in bis

the following plan: Knowing the pas

merous tracks In the snow to and up
the tree. When all was ready, he in
formed his neighbors that the tree
must bo filled with coons, pointing to
the external evidence made with his
coon's foot. The bait took, and la a
short time half a dozen fellows with
harp axes were chopping at the base
of the tree, each taking bis regular
turn. The party also brought dogs and
shotguns and were In ecstasies over

tree finally fell, but nary a coon waa

Pacific County In Throes of Fierce
Political Fight.
DIRECT PRIMARY AN ISSUE
P. A. Hateltlne of South Bend Sisea Up
Situation-Hard Fight Mads Against
Renomlnation of State Senatof
Welsh. .
P. A. Hazeltine, editor of the South
Bend Journal, arrived in tht city last
evening from a tour of the south end
of IVlilc county in the Interest of his
m'T. Mr. Uaieltlne is a pioneer in the
direct primary reform movement
Washington, U president of the county
direct primary league, and one of the
State committee named to draft the
prepared law which will be submitted
to the next legislature.
In that capacity he has found him
self lined up against the renomination
of state Senator Welsh, who is making
hard fluht for a renomlnation. The
South Bend Journal has opposed his re
nomination on the ground that he broke
his pledge in the county platform
whereby he promised to vote for a rail
road coimnin-ion j that he dioappointed
his constituent in voting for Ankney,
the Walla Walla banker, for U. S. sen
ator, and that the state league claims
him for its own. which the Journal
asserts is proven by a secret letter to
the saloonkeepers from said league, urg
intr his renomimition as beneficial to
their interests.
Mr. Hazeltine in speaking "of the
present situation, and especially with
reference to the direct primary law, said,
"Whenever the principle of the direct
primary is understood the sentiment of
the plain people is for it in my county,
and I have been pretty well all over
Of course, many of the old politi
cians are opposed to it, but even they
are beginning to jump into the band
wagon,' and in my opinion the greater
danger to our proposed .reform meas
ure lies with its false and new found
friend. With every week the sent!
ment is becoming stronger and I que
tion if Mr. Welsh will' have much more
than a 'look in' in the coming county
convention."
Mr. Hazeltine stated that the same
interests which were supporting Welsh
were opposing Sheriff McDonald for re-
nomination, because he has dared to en
force all laws as he found them, in
cluding the Sunday saloon law, and also
for his protection of the Chinook fish
traps from the assault of the gill-netters.
According to Mr. ITdzcHine there are
three avowed candidates beside Welh
for renomination: Representative W. R.
Williams, of Chinook; B, A. Seaborg, of
Skamokawa, and Hon, J. (1. Meglrr of
Brookfield. J. W. KIclb of South Bend
is another man being urged to make
the run, but has never announced his
candidacy. "Naturally," said Mr. Hazel,
tine, "Pacific County favors her own
citizens in Williams and KIclb and
either one would be preferred to
Welsh."
"The county ticket depends largely
upon the outcome of the content for
State senator, and there is a pretty di-
ided line up for and against Welsh. J.
Stout, the present deputy county
treasurer, has a good chrance of being
treasurer, owing to his record for ef
ficiency and accuracy. His opponent is
William N, Akers, the present assessor.
The county clerkship lies being 0. C.
Wilwm ond J. II. Dalton, while E. A.
Seaborg, the present county clerk, is the
popular candidate for county auditor.
His opponent is W. W, Rounds of I.e
bam, who started out as a candidate for
sheriff, Mr. McDonald's job, but has
since switched.
"P. W. Culver, the South Bend night
marshal, is the opponent Mr. McDonald
has. The county school superiutendency
ha been kept out of the scrimmage thus
far, and lies between Principal Angus
Jack of the Chinook school and Frin-
pal' W. E. Greenway of the West
Union schools.
"As the Republican majority is over
whelming in Pacific county, the com
ing primaries will largely settle the re
sult at the polls, and as a consequence
every Republican voter who wants to
make his vote count, will take part in
the primaries. Not a single Democrat
has been mentioned for ofllce thus far."
NOTICE.
Owing to the building being rented
for Regatta purposes, the carpenters'
union will not meet Saturday this week,
but will meet on Saturday of next week.

IT PAYS
TO SHOP IN AUGUST
The time was when August was a less busy month.
But nowadays with our decisive clearness of all sum
mer merchandise and the continuous effort to keep
every stock clean and fresh, August has become one
of the busiest months. "As neat as a pin" means as
much to the progressive and careful merchant as it
does to the good housewife. The price reductions are
the brooms, so to speak, which this store is now using
to clear away all summer merchandise. Surely, Aug-
, ust is a month of great savings.
