SAN FRANCISCO, July 5. The identity of the democratic presidential nominee was as great a mystery a? ever to the delegates af the convention when they reconvened today and en tered upon the 23rd ballot. Campaign managers of Cox, McAdoo and Palmer who are In the lead, in order named, on the twenty second ballot Saturday night, continued to predict an early victory for the res pective candidates, but the rank and file of the delegates remained in the dark regarding tho outcome. j A conjecture that an over Sunday! recess might possibly have brought ! about some compromiso plan for i -breaking the deadlock was not sup-; ported by any announcement of the i party leaders. The leaders remained j silent and campaign managers are ) ridiculing all suggestions of a sur- render on the compromise. j Judged by tho outward appearances j the situation has resolved itself into a triangular war of attrition. The sup porters of each of the three leading candidates eie determined to hold tho votes t bitty jirW have-and re tiopwrg for recruits from the rival camps aa well as for the stale delegations, which hsvo so far 'been supporting favorite sons. Do you eat hot cakes? Pendle,touiant in the past two and a half years have consumed from tho output of one local eat ing place enough hotcakes to make a chain 91 miles long, if placed end to end. The actual number of hot cakes consumed is 1,150. . J. E. "lxu" Plnson, manager of the Office Junch, estimates that he has baked and sold that num ber since coming to Pendleton. Figuring five Inchon us the di ameter of hi hot cake. Mr. Pin son could place them end to end every inch of the way from Pen dleton to Canyon City, In Grant County. Tho mass of hot cake batter which nas gone to make up these cakes would total approxi mately 14,375 gallons, or one and a half times enough, to fill the tender of the O.-W. R. & N. com pany's largest locomotives. In feeding the hungry public with hot cakes, the average week- ly flour consumption is six sacka or a barrel and a half of flour, Mr. I'inson says. One sack makes 1500 cakes, so each week between 9000 and 10,000 cakes are con sumed. The largest day's sale was last Round-ITp when 36 gallon., or 2880 cakes, were passed over the counter. For the past 15 years Mr. Pin son has specialized on cakes, but he says that no place consumed as many as Pendleton. In order to keep up with the growing ap petite of hot cakes, a new griddle has Just been installed, which will cook AH cakes at a time. This is tho largest single plate hot cake griddle in the northwest, he says. NO RELIEF Ifl SIGHT AS NEW N CONVENES TO PRY CONVENTIONS FROM DEADLOCK S. . 1'll.VMIM'O.

July 5- j Thousands of residents of this island, the homo of Jamica rum, have united I in a protest to the government and legislative council against prohibition, M ite control of tlie liquor trade or ! alteration of the present licensing system. . A measure has been introduced in tho lei.s!ature by the government pro viding for state control of the trade after tho legislative council had been asked to connider also the questions of prohibition and iicentfing. Those opposed argued In a memor ial to the government that the manu facture of rum, as a by-product of sug ar, had been carried on in the island for hundreds of years and formed a very important industry which woub:l bo seriously affected if prohibition were imposed. They objected also to state control chiefly on the ground of expense risk involved.

HOME TOWN STRETCHES OUT ARM TO HARDING (By Associated Press.) MARION, July 5- Senator Harding is coming home today as the most highly honored of his fellow towns men, the candidate of the republican party for the president of the Cnited t States. Marlon democrats .have cast aside for the time being their party affilia tions and joined with the republicans as a fellow townsmen, neighbors of the republican candidate to -welcome him home. The welcome was not the Mar ion affair entirely, friends from all sections of the state sharing in it. The city is bulging with visitors. IN 1776 "As far bh I have seen on by pres ent trip," HymHn H.

Contracting Itcmmed Oontractlns has. again been resumed In some flections of the state but there Is a great difference of opinion anions buyers as to what stock should bring. This Is due to the fact that as yet there Is practically no established market for grain futures but with the reopen ing of the trado on the various graii exchanges of the country, thla matter will be quickly settled. Because of the shortage In probable production of both oats and barley H Is anticipated that unusually good prices will rule this season in both 01 these grains.

D. Watson, chairman. He suggests that a delegation of from five to eight Pendletonians will be suffl cient for the Hermiston visit. The letter addressed to J. R. Raley president of tho Pendleton Commer cial Association, designates the enter tainment outlined for the congressmen from the time they reach Hermiston. at 5: S3 on Friday, July 16, until they are due to leave for Idaho at 3:30 p. m. Mr. Raley is invited to deliver a 10 minute talk, together with E. P. Todd and C. S. McNaught, both of Hermis ton, and a representative from Stan field. Pendleton had been invited at first to assist in the entertainment of the congressmen but it is evident from the letter that the west endera feel equal to nutting over the purpose of the visit without assistance, is thel sentiment expressed here. The matter of Pendleton's cooperation will be dis- cuifsed by the association at its month ly meeting tomorrow evening. DEATH TOLL OF TRAIN E NOW IS E Over-Sunday D e v e lopments Give No Indication of Break or Even Weakening and Dark Horse Talk Revives. V (By United Tress. ACDITORIUM, July S. The demo, cratic convention reassembled todar. going into extra innings, belligerently determined to resume the battle of ballots1 where the delegates left off ' after the twenty-second ballot Satur day night. ' Over Sunday developments gave no indication of the deadlock having; been broken or even seriously weak. ened by the efforts to line up a two- tniras vote tor any candidate. "We have not wet begun to. fight." pronunciamentns were heard on all ' sides. Cox and McAdoo organizations whose candidates were leading were absolutely uncompromising. Each thus far controlled enough votes to keep the nomination from roing; to anyone else. 'Dark horse- talk again revived in wtitelt- the immert of- Davis. ColbvJi Cummings. Marshall, Clark, Owen and Glass figured prominently. There were even rumors that the delegates, worn to exhaustion, would finally turn to Wilson as the only solution of their dilemma. The Cox people based their henea on the fact that their man led con sistently from the 12th ballot, and mat tney have practically all the "bosses" on their side. K. H. Moore, the Cox manager, displayed his con fidence by betting; $500 to 11.000 that his candidate would be nominated by the twent-fith ballot. Thomas pellacy, the Palmer sup- ; porter, took the long end. specifyins the entire amount should It go to the national committeeman, c. C. Pari in. Palmer's managear. said the delegates would be voting for the attorney gen-ei-al on the last ballot. A report was circulated last night that Senator Glass had released the Virginia delegation. Glass vehement. ' ly declared that there waa "not a word of truth in It." Look to Clamming. Cummings is popularly supposed to hold the key to the deadlock. Many politicians believed a word from him would break the impasse. He has re fused to positively give any indication regarding his personal preference due to his position as national chairman. it la not considered an Impossibility that Cummings himself will ha brought forward as a compromise. He has a large following among the dele gates, and It was learned he Is not unacceptable to Sturphy. and the lat ter aid. E. S. Colby said it would b favorably regarded by the northern delegates, particularly those of New York, but the southern members of the party object to him on the ground that he is "a life-long democrat of a few months." In preparation for the protracted voting, the national committee had an extra set of ballots printed, it was learned. This indicates that officials are getting ready for a siege of bal loting that may break tho record. 4 7 established at Baltimore when WIN son was nominated.
