The nomination of William Jennings Prya:i for president by the Dem ocratic national convention at Denver lait week, was expected, just a was Taft's nomination by tin Repu' lieius. The Dsnver convention dif fered in this respect from tb.3 S-itLerlng at Chicago. There were fev er elements hostile to the nominee, and the personal following of Erya:i was not. oaly more numerous but more enthusiastic than the frisnds ol Tuft. This is not premised from the degree of noise made by the shout ing nor the respective lengths of the ovation when the name of the can didal was mentioned. The "heart cf things" was revealed in the entire absence of "kicks" or "complaints" from leaders in hotel lobbies commit tee rooms and other places where the big men congregated betwejn se sions. This in spite of the fact that a hundred reporters were listening intently for hostile remarks. It was vastly different at Chicago. This acceptance of Bryan by all factions and leaders of ths Demo cratic party, marks the change in him from the Bryan of 189tJ and ISO Bryan has' grown. He Is no longer the man of one idea, and he alsc knows now that all truth is not ledged in one skull. In 1SD0 he act ed as if . Iho destiny of mankind hinged on free silver. In 1900, free silver took a back seat and imperialism was the curse that threatened tc cut us off in the very flower of our youth. In 1908, there Is no "para mount issue." He Is content to stand for progress in all lilies and Is willing to believe that other great Democrats can differ from him on de tails and si ill have the same honesty of purpose that he has. In 1S9C, Bryan was sometimes called the Black Eagle of the Platte John M. Thurston, an eloquent Omr,ha lawyer who did ye3tna:i service for McKinley, used to refer to that and said the title was. appropriate, as the Platte river was two thousand miles long, two miles wide and twe Jnches deep. The simile does not fit today, for the course of Bryan dur ing the hist 12 years has worn a deep channel and no man in public life is deeper and wider In his political belief and expression. John Worth Kern of Indiana, the nominee for vice president, at least does not weaken the ticket, as Sherman does the Republican ticket Without meaning a pun, it can be said that from all accounts he Is a worthy man. Unlike the selection at Chicago also, the nomination of Kem was good politics. The Democrats have little or no chance to win a sta'e east of Ohio. Now England solid. New York, New Jersey, and Pemsyl vania were and are practically sure for Taft by big majorities. Ohio Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mlnneso a and and all the West is the debat ablo ground. Indiana was already dcubtful, so the best political forecast era say, and the Insult to Fairbanks when Governor Hanley placed the vico president in nomination, the attitude of Fairbanks' friends, and fi nally the nomination of Kern, whom the people of the whole state re gardless of politics, respect and admire, takes Indiana out of the doubt ful column und makes It as sure for Bryan as New York Is for Taft. Bryan and Kern have a far better show of being elected than any Democratic nominees since 1892. THE SPLIT LOG DRAG. A Portland Commercial club let er says "Good Roads" has become In recent months the subject of almost every conversation when a group of citizens get together. There has beon a demand from every section of the state for tho club to call a representative meeting to discuss r practical plan whereby ail Oregon mey have better highways. As a re sult It has been determined to hold an "Orego.n Good Roads Conference' In tho convention hall of the Portland Commercial club, Tuesday, An gust 11, with morning, afternoon and evening sessions. All railroads have made a rate of a fare and a third for the meeting. The basis of repre sentatlon will bo announced within a few days, but all commercial and Industrial bodies, county judges, county commissioners, editors aud may ors will bo authorized to appoint delegates and urged to have a good rep resentation present. Wallowa county is as much Interested in good roads as any cointy In the state. Before the railroad was a certainty, the subject was not ol vital Importance, or rather the task and cost of making good roads was greater than the seeming benefit. But with railroad connection to grain and produce markets, the situation changes. It becomes a matter o. economical Importance that fanners can haul large loads to Enterprise Joseph, I.ostlno and Wallowa. Wallowa county has her own peiullar grade problems, but i:i the mat ter of hard surfacing our needs are the same as in all communities, with this difference thore is an abundance of excellent surfacing materia convenient to all highways free for the taking. Tho first cost of stone roads is high under the most favoring coiuli Hons, therefore their construction w.ll be slow. There are many miles of roads in Wallowa county that could bo greatly improved bv the cheat but wonderfully efficient log drag. This simple device is" making a marvelous ch uige in roads' wherever it Is used. Every landowner own. a drag, which can be home made, costing but a few dollars, and drags the road along his farm. Ruts disappear at once and roads that former ly were Impassable iu the spring become after a year or two s dragging real highways the year round. It would not be a bad idea for the road powers that-bc in this county to investigate the cheap but efficient split log drag. PLUMS FOR THE DOUBTFUL STATES. History repents Itself. In 1880 and 190S the Democratic vice pre dentlal nominee was from Indiana and the Republican from New York In 1880 the Republican nominee for vice president was from Ohio as it Is this year, but Hancock, who lead the Democratic host r.., ..,.. sylvanlu while Bryan, as everybody knows, resides at Liuooln, Neb. Iu the last nine presidential elcctious. beginning with 1S76 aud in- eluding uext November, the llapubli cans have gone to New York no le-.3 than six times for their nominee foi vice president, as follows: Whealei iu 1STG, Arthur in 1889, Morton i:i 1S5.S, Held in 1S92. Roosevelt in J "-iC ami Sherman in l!ins. In 11)01 New York contributed the naminoe f i president. For the same nine elections the D.-niiJcrals hive gone to New' York Jr Indiana do 13 considered dubt iul states) no less than seven times .'or either the presidential or vice presidential nominee, and twice, ISTt and 1SS4, for both candidates.
