CHANCE FOR SCRAMBLE
(United Press Lpd Wirt.)
Auditorium, Denver, CoU, July 7.
Theodore Bell of Napa, Cat. the new
factor in tha Democratic party who was
scarcely heard of outside of his own
state a few months ago, made good
with his keynote speech.
There was much speculation as to
whether Bell's ability was great enoueh
to arouse unusual enthusiasm at a na
tional convention. He has had for
years In California a reputation as an
orator. Dut mere were not many poli
ticians at Denver previous to the open-
ng.oi me convention wno anew rum.
Bell Is bflt 36 years of aee. but his
manner is mat or a miirn older man.
He has the methods of the finished ora
tor and his every word of sneech was
heard In the funthermost corners of the
Auditorium.
His reception bv the convention nrom
Ises much for Bell In his futule politi
cal career, as a result or nis speech
he will become a person of national In
stead Of state Importance. His sneech
contained many sublects of particular
interest to the west, end these were
loudly applauded.
Bell's friends predicted that his
speech would bo a great success. Thou
sands of persons In the convention hall,
however, who had never seen him be

Judges. Bell won them by his combi

too eager to nam a vice-presidential
candidate. Although Murphy, the leader
of the Tammany organiiation, is mak
ing a great pretense of being a strong
Bryan supporter, and. because of the
power of his organisation. Is doubtless
able to throw the big vote of that state
to whomsoever he pleases. the rank an-5
file of the delegation Is at present di
vided. When Murphy says the word
liev will doubtless cast a unitea vote.
But as vet thev are not sure whom they
are going to support. ,
Bryan Favorable to Town.
There is a strong suspicion, however.
that Murphy has an understanding with
Bryan on this question. There is an
even stronger suspicion that Bryan is
In favor of the nomiantton of Towne
as his own running mate. Thomas F.
Orady, the Tammany orator and close
ersonal friend of Murphy, is said to
ave been selected toj put Towne in
nomination.
Towne declared today that he would
have at least half of the New York
deletjatlon and that he had received
assurances from enough other states to
fmake his nomination certain. He Is the
only one of fhe numerous persons who
have been mentioned in connection wilh
this place who has the nerve to make
such a claim.
Bryaa Mom, Pending Platform.
Former Senator Fettlgrew. who is on
of Bryan's closest friends, said today
that he thought It might take a num
ber of ballots to determine who would
b the vlce-presldentlal nominee. While
h Is verv friendly to Towne, he ex
pressed himself as doubtful of his
nomination. Other of the Democratic
leaders were equally skeptical and de
rtared that, 1n their opinion, the ques
tion of who would be the nominee for
tbe second place on the ticket waa still
"in the air.
Ther is on thing certain, and that
la that r.o matter whether there Is a
aert understanding - or not between
Bryan and any of the leaders with re
gard to the vice-presidency , ther will
be no direct intimation of It until after
th platform baa bean adopted. With
that out of th way, Lincoln may h
heard rrom,. ana when that happens
there are many who believe today that
the message will declare for Tvia
Dredging will be commenced in the I
next few weeks by the Port of Portland
to enlarge the ship basin of the lower
harbor above Ross Island. At present
the quarters for ships In the basin are
crampod, and with the enormous arrtount
of slapping booked for Portland the
coming season it would be necessary i
tor many ships to anchor at at. Johns.
This imposes unnecessary inconven
iences on the masters and doesn't tend
to popularlzo the port.
In the near future it is planned by I
Harbormaster ipeler and the port com
mission to dredge out a channel be
tween Swan Island and the east side of
the river so as to give a better ap
proach to the draw of the new Portland
Seattle railroad bridge above St.
Johns, and eventually to dredge away
Swan Island altogether, reclaiming the
place that It now occuplea for the ship
basin.
The offices of the port have Just
been removed to the city hall from the
Chamber of Commerce and all work will
be directed from the hall.
