THE FIGHT FOR CLEANER CITIES.
The campaign waged by Governor West to clean up the Port
land road house3 deserves hearty support from all good citizens.
Whether he is justified in usiing the state militia and destroy
ing the property is a legal question, not moral.
" His calling down the Salem chief of police for drunkenness
and immorality in this city has also been effective.
Whether it will result in his using the state militia is not yet
known, but it will hardly come to that extreme.
Owing to the railroad camps and other causes Salem has had
an unusual share of dissipated floating population lately.
The fact that these transients who get drunk are run in and
. fined is rather to the credit of the city administration.
The Ferry street red light district was supposed to have been
cleaned up by the ministerial association two years ago.
By asking an amendment to the city laws giving him control
of the police last December, Mayor Lachmund shifted the re
sponsibility. The people voted down, what they might adopt now, the ordi
nance to give the mayor suprme power to appoint the chief and
all nolice.
The Capital Journal made the first fight to have the laws en
forced against drunks in this city when Gibson was chief of po
lice. Salem is the last city in the world that should covet the repu
tation of favoring immorality and drunkenness.
We have boasted that moral conditions here were better than
in any western city of its size, and that boast in the past has
been true.
Salem has fewer saloons and less vice and immorality than
towns of half the size in the East or West.
But if conditions can be improved let us help make them bet
ter, and uphold our good reputation.
ELECTRIFYING THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY.
The annonuncement of the S. P. Co. plans for electrification of
its Willamete valley interurban system is a very important mat
ter. It is not alone the expenditure of twenty million dollars for
this modernizing of the lines, but the effect on all property val
ues. Cities like Salem and Albany will become the centers of great
networks of lines like Pasadena and Los Angeles, Cal.
The inteurban conditions in the great fruit district of Southern
California will be reproduced here in the Willamette valley.
The announcement coming from Superintendent Campbell and
Vice-President Calvin means more than former announcements.
These men seem to have more authority to speak and act for
the Harriman system than their predecessors and seem willing to
act. ....
Their predecessors were not in a position to take any initiative
and had little or no authority this side of New York headquar
ters. Superintendent Campbell is a man who harmonizes and has
great ability to secure appropriations, and for expending the
same.
He is probably the greatest actual railroad builder who has ev
er been placed in authority over Harriman properties.
He expended about wenty millions building the Portland and
Seattle joint line for the Hill and Harriman systems.
He did that work quietly and effectively in about fifteen
months, and it is the finest piece of railroad work that has been
constructed in the Northwest of late years.
Campbell's coming to this section will prove a godsend to the
Harriman interests, as he is rapidly gaining the eonfidence of
the comunities in which he is operating.
It will also be the 'greatest asset for creating values and in
creasing the wealth of all Western Oregon.
FIRST BALLOT WAS TAKEN
AT 7 O'CLOCK THIS MORIHIIG
CLARK HAS A STRONG LEAD
Convention Held All Night Session, Adjourning This Morning
at 7:15 One Ballot Taken Which Gives Clark 440, Wilson
324 and Underwood 1 1 1 It Requires 730 to Nominate, so
the Fight is Still a "Free for All"-Burke of South Dakota
Released Delegates and They Voted for Wilson.
zealous Clarkite finally gave up In
difgust for lack of encouragement.
After an hour's demonstration for
Clark the roll of states was continued.
For Arkansas, Governor-elect Joseph
Robinson seconded Clark's nomina
tion. For California Theodore A. Bel)
did the an me.
Connecticut, next on the list, nom
inated Governor Simeon E, Baldwin,
through Henry Wade Rogers of New
Haven.
Although comparatively small In
numbers, the Baldwin men made a
good showing with their cheering
squad, and used up 15 mluntes blow
ing horns and serpentining through
the aisles.
Wilson Gets Hot Welcome.
When Delaware was called she gave
way to New Jersey, and the fire
works were cut loose through John
Westcott of Camden, who was recog
nised to nominate Governor Woodiow
Wilson as a candidate.
Before WestCQtt started the galler
ies had risen enmasse. Dozens of
Wilson lithographs, hoisted on um
brellas, canes, fishing poles, in gome
cases on chair rungs, were rallied lit
every section of the hall. Deafening
shouts rocked the armory. The Del
aware and Ohio delegates were the
first to catch the contagion on the
floor. It spread like wild fire through
the western progressive state dele
gation, and their lusty throated rep
resentatives took up the yelling. The
many tonguea roar was literally deaf
ening. .
Then the parade started. The entire
demonstration, the , longest of the
night, was remarkable chiefly for the
concerted action between floor and
galleries. With Wilson in nomination
the roll of states was finally continued-
Marshall dominated.
J. Randolph-Anderson of Savannah
seconded the Underwood nomination
for Georgia and Douglas Patterson of
Freeport, 111., seconded that of Clark
for Illinois.
Indiana was reached at 4:40 a. m.,
and Senator Shively presented the
claims of Governor Marshall. As
Shively mentioned Marshall's name,
the band blared out, "On the Banks
of the Wabash" and the Indianians
capped tho demonstration with due
credit to themselves and the candi
date.
When Michigan was called, Judge
P. 0. Laurium seconded the Wilson
nomination, and John E. Kinnane of
Bay City lauded Clark.
For Minnesota, A. C. Weiss of Du-
luth seconded the Wilson nomination.'
Harmon Named.
M. A. Daugherty of Lancaster Ohio,
put In nomination Governor Judson
Harmon In a speech filled with fiery
oratory that amused an entertained
the sleepy delegates.
While he talked an exodus from
the galleries was In progress, and by
the time he had concluded there was
only a corporal's guard of spectators
left. . ;
Charles F. Tew of Greeley, Colo.,
seconded Clark's nomination.
Senator Gore of Oklahoma pleased
the delegates when he declared that
"Oklahoma's democracy is united for
a candidate who can win." He praised
and seconded Wilson's nomination
Gore declared that, if the democrats
did not nominate a progressive candi
date on a progressive platform, they
could not expect to secure the sup
port of the progressive republicans,
who he said, would go to Theodore
Roosevelt before they support a reao
tlonary democrat
Scott Ferris of Oklahoma seconded
Clark's nomination,
. Pennsylvania Favors Wilson,
When Pennsylvania was reached,
Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer sec
onded Wilson, praising the New Jer
sey governor's remarkable record as
chief executive of New Jersey.
"Under such a leader, he shouted,
' Pennsylvania can and will be re
deemed. Congressman Flynn of Virginia sec
onded Underwood's nomination, per
sisting In an. oratorical effort, despite
demands from all over the hall that
he "cut it out and let us go home to
breakfast."
John Walsh of Wisconsin seconded
Wilson's nomination, or at hast said
he did when he passed the press
seats. He might just as well have
been doing a pantomime stunt when
on the rostrum, as tho delegates made
such a din, Joshing him and telling
him to "cut out the hot air," that not
a word he said was understood.
Alaska for Suher.
The same fate was meted out to
Senator Smith of South Carolina, sec
onding Wilson, and to former Con
gressman Lafe Pence of the District
of Columbia, who was speaking for
Champ Clark.
The roll call was ordered with the
nervous and fever-wrought delegates
on the ragged dge.
Alaska's announcement that two of
her votes were cast for Congressman
William Sulzer caused a gentle ripple
of merriment that relieved the strain.
The first ballot gave Clark 440 .
Wilson 324, Underwood 111.
It was 7:15 when Ollle James de
clared the recess motion carried and
the tired representatives of the dem
ocracy started for their hotels and for
bed.

A WONDERFUL TONIC
THAT AIDS DIGESTION
Thousands are unable to digest
certain kinds of food. In most cases
it is not the fault of the food, nor
the stomach, It Is probable that the
stomach has been abused. Many re
sort to predlgestcd foods and various
kinds of modlclnes to get relief from
dyspepsia, Indigestion and heartburn,
but without permanent benefit.
If your stomach was In perfect
condition, you would not need medi
cine to digest the foods you eat.
Jayne's Tonlo Vermifuge is a stomach
regulator. It gets the stomach In
such a condition that It will digest
food without other assistance. It
overcomes the acidity and stimulates
the coating of the stomach and In
testines bo that they will properly
absorb and assimilate the nutriment
from the food eaten. Sufferers from
dyspepsia and indigestion will find
permanent relief In a Bhort time af
ter beginning tho use of the tonic.
For children the addition ot a little
sugar will niako It most palatable.
Many forms ot supposed Indiges

mifuge Is unsurpassed. Insist upon
Jayne's; accept no other. Millions
