PRAISES GOV. WILSON
Colonel Receives Congratulations for
J lis Fight Against OpitOttcrs of Pro

Baltimore, July 3. W. J. Bryan In
a. statement said lust night that the
nomination of Woodrow Wilson, on
a progressive platform, meant an
overwhelming victory for the demo
cratic ticket next fall.
Mr. Bryan said:
"I feel sure that the action of the
convention thus far will appeal to the
country- I had no choice among pro
gressive candidates because from the
first I Included Governor Wilson In
every list which I had occasion to
make. His action In coming out
strongly against Mr. Parker for tem
porary chairman was the turning
point In his campaign. The country
is progressive. Nearly aU of the dem
ocratic party and more than half of
the republican party are progressives.
I am satisfied that with Mr. Wilson
running for president on the platform
which has been prepared there are
comparatively few progressive repub
licans who will not feel Justified in
supporting the democratic ticket. If
I were to make an estimate tonight
I would say that we ought not to have
less than 200,000 majority of the
popular vote and enough of the elec
toral votes to give us an overwhelm
ing majority In the electoral college.
Congratulate Bryan on light.

WILSON'S YAIU LIKE
AN AKMV CAMP
Sea Girt, X. J, July 3. Fa
tigued by the reception of con

yesterday, Governor Wilson
slept late today. When he em

scarcely recognized the lawn of
the "little white house." Tents
had sprung up everywhere for
the use of telegraphers, tele

looked like an army camp.

BRIEF SKETCH OF
THOMAS RILEY MARSHALL
Born In Manchester, Ind., in
1854, Governor Marshall has
spent his entire 58 years In his
native state. Graduating from
Wabash College in 1873, when
he was 21 years old, he prac-
tlced law In Columbia City,
Ind., until he was elected gov-
ernor two years ago. He Is a
member of many clubs and
holds LL. D. degrees from Wa-
bash, Xotre Dame and the
University of Pennsylvania. He
married Miss Lois I. KImsey, of
Angola, Ind., in 18S5.
In the Literary state they
call "Tom" Marshall the "Lit-
tie Giant." When one sees
him for the first time, he won-
ders why. because there is
nothing colosal about the slen-
der, undersized man with slop-
ing shoulders and quiet mien.
His hair and mustache, turning
from grey to white, do not bris-
tie, his brows do not "beetle"
so oone can notice It and even
his violet-blue eyes are mild. It
Is only when one knows him
and his political history that
that "Little Giant" term is un-
derstood. The governor likes
his friends and he will stand
by them through thick and
thin to the last ditch. When
the gubernatorial race was on
two years ago, there were a
number of well known Indiana '
democrats gunning for It, and
Marshall had not been heard
of. But he has friends, and
those friends urged him to run,
and told him the was the only
man who could "save the day."
Marshall ran to please his
friends and he was nominated
and elected.

Wife of Governor Says She Feels Very, Very, Solemn
Seagirt, X. J., July 3. When noti
fied of his nomination Woodrow Wil
son said:
"You must have sometimes won
dered why I have not showed more
emotion as the news came In from the
convention and I have been afraid
that you might get the impression that
I was so self-confident and sure of
the result that I took the steady In
crease in the vote for me In Balti
more complacently and as a matter of
course.
"The fact Is that emotion has been
too deep to come to tho surface as
the vote has grown and as it has
seemed more and more likely that I
might bo nominated. I have grown
more and more solemn. I have not
felt any of this as if it were a thing
that centered on myself as a person.
Those fine men who have been fight
ing for me In Baltimore I havo not re
garded as my representatives. It Is
the other way round.

Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey
Thomas R. Marshall, of Iixlianu.
When Pennsylvania was reached
the state had no candidate.
It then became apparent that the
plan to have Representative Palmer
i t nominate Speaker Clark would not
be carried out.
Representative Henry of Texas, a
Wilson leader, seconded Governor
Clarke. It seemed at this time that
Governor Burke, favored by the Bryan-Wilson
delegates, undoubtedly
would be chosen by the second or
third ballot after the "favorite sons"
had been disposed of.
It also was apparent that the real
fight for the vice presidency rested
between Governor Burke and Gover
nor Marshall of Indiana. The states
seconding the nominations of the two
governors were about equally divided.
Mentions Bryan's Name.
When the District of Columbia 'was
reached one of the delegates proposed
William J. Bryan as a vice presiden
tial candidate. A roar swept the hall
as the name was mentioned.
Bryan in his seat In the Xebraska
"ectlon was Immediately surrounded
by a group of delegates urging him to
speak. For a time he refused, sit
ting unmoved In the midst of the
storm of disorder. But the uproar
Increased and finally Bryan climbed
upon his chair.
"Take the platform! Take the plat
form!" shouted the delegates.

Pleuslng to Col. Roosevelt.
Sea Girt, X. J.. July 3. That Wil
son's nomination by the democrats Is
pleasing to Roosevelt was the Im
pression conveyed to Wilson today by
Franklin P. Roosevelt of Xew York,
a nephew of the colonel, who called
to congratulate the governor.
Will Not Affect Plans.
Sacramento, Cab, July 3. Asked
what effect If any the nomination of
Woodrow Wilson by the democratic
convention, would have on the plans
of the Roosevelt progressive move
ment. Governor Johnson today re
plied: "So far as a know Wilson's
nomination will make no difference
in the plans of the progressives."
Taft Platform Adopted.
Columbus, Ohio, July 3. Judge Ed
mund B. Dillon of Columbus, was
nominated for governor by the re
publican state convention yesterday
afternoon. The Taft forces were in
control of the convention which was
an adjourned session of the presiden
tial delegation convention. The Taft
platform was adopted.
they were fighting for me because
they thought I could stand for and
fight for the things, they believed In
and desire for the country. I do not
see how any man could feel elation
as such responsibility loomed nearer
and nearer, or how he could feel any
personal pride. The honor Is as great
as could come to any man by tho nom
ination of a party and higher under
tho circumstances, and I hope I ap
preciate it at its true value, but just
at this moment I feel the tax It In
volves, even more than I feel the
honor. I hope with all my heart that
the party will never have reason to
regret It."
Mrs. Wilson said:
"I ftSel very, very solemn."
If Governor Wilson had not been
connected with the Baltimore conven
tion by both telegraph and telephone,
he would have known that he had
been nominated for president of tho
United States by thn democrats In a
very few minutes after the result was
known In Baltimore, by the nolso
that immediately suroundod the "lit
tle White House."
Latter in Statement Says "Slanders"
Rtn ft nut
Washington, July 3. On his return
yesterday to Washington from Balti
more, Speaker Clark Issued the follow
ing statement:
"Xo set of men made a better or
braver fight for any man In this world
than my friends all over the coun
try made for me. They have my
heartfelt thanks. We never had mon
ey enough even to pay for an ade
quate supply of postage stamps and
literature. I was tied down here by
my duties as speaker. I could there
fore aid my friends very little. They
made the fight, gave me 200,000 ma
jority In the states where Governor
Wilson and I competed In the pri
maries and caused me to lead on 30
ballots In the convention, nine of
which I had a clear lead. Never
theless the nomination was bestowed
on Governor Wilson.
"I never scratched a democratic
ticket or bolted a democratic nomi
nee in my life. I shall not change
the democratic habit now. I am too
seasoned a soldier not to accept cheer
fully the fortunes of war.
"I will support Governor Wilson
with whatever power I possess and
hope he will be elected.
"I lost the nomination solely
through the vile and malicious slan
ders of William J. Bryan of Xebras
ka. True, these slanders were by In
nuendo and Insinuation but they were
no less deadly for that reason.

MAY START SCANDAL
IN OFFICIAL ZONE
Washington, July 3. An Investiba1
tion of the treasury department Is
proposed In a resolution introduced
today by Representative Cox In the
house. It was referred to the house
committee on expenditures which will
consider the question wh'ether an in
vestigation shall be made and will re
port back to the house. Cox was In
fluenced by the letter of Assistant
Secretary Andrew whose connection
with the treasury department was
severed today.
Washington, July 3. A. Piatt An
drew, assistant secretary of the treas
ury, today made public letters con
taining such stinging criticism of Sec
retary MacVeagh that It has started
what may become an administration
scandal. Andrew wrote both Taft
and MacVeagh criticising the former
for "indecision and an attitude of hos
tility toward minor officials" in the
department.
In his letter to Taft, Andrew nam
ed practically every bureau head In
the treasury as having had trouble
with MacVeagh. In a statement

Pendleton, Following Usual Custom,
Will Hold No Celebration on Na
tion's Birthday Tomorrow.
FAIR WEATHER PROMISED
Nearly All Business Houses Will
Closer Residents Planning Outings
Other Cities to Have Special At
tritions. The Fourth of July will be a quiet
one In Pendleton, for this city, follow
ing its custom of giving the country
communities their inning every other
year, will hold no celebration of the
136th anniversary of the nation's in
dependence. However, In observance
of the day all public offices and
nearly all business houses will be
closed and many of the residents
will absent themselves to indulge in
the festivities in other cities.
Walla Walla will in all probability
draw a larger crowd from Pendleton
than any one community. Pendleton
is under obligations to the Garden
City because of the special train sent
over to the Elks' circus last week,
aside from their desire to show a
spjirit of reciprocation, many of the
citizens feel attracted to the south
eastern Washington metropolis be
cause of the elaborate preparations
made for the two day celebration and
because the Pendleton baseball team
and the Pendleton Round-up cowboy
band will be playing there.
Other Attractions.
Bingham Springs and Helix are oth
er centers of attraction, as both will
have celebrations. However, the re
cent rains will probably Interfere with
the attendance at the Umatilla .resort
as the roads have been made pretty
wet. However, the weather man
promises a fair and warmer today and
tomorrow and the roads will probably
dry up in time to warrant autoes in
making the trip.
Still other Pendletonlans will take
their lunches and drive out along the
river for the day and yet .others will
spend the day in rest and quiet at
their homes.
The opinion has been prevalent In
Pendleton that there will be a special
train to Walla Walla tomorrow, but
the railroad officials declare no pro
vision has been made. However,
there are trains leaving at 7 a. m.
and 2 and 6:30 p. m. eo that there
will be accommodations aplenty. Many
will make the trip In autoes.
