clause of the rules providing that after
the second ballot all candidates, ex-
cepG the two leaders should be retired,
and inserting u provision that when bal
loting began candidates shall be voted for
until there was II choice. This amend
mcnt prevailed by large majority, so
the rules as to balotng are in accordance
with the customary rules in national CON
ventions on this matter.
A recess was then taken in order that
the delegates might witness the Omaha
Fourth of July parade.
A storm.
When the convention reassembled
Chairman Branch of the resolutions COM
mittee offered resolution stating that
probably through some oversight the
ticket agents of the Union Pacific railway
did not receive Instructions to allow dele
gates to the convention the usual reuuc-
ton in fares and providing that com
mittee of three communicate with the
railroad officials to have the mistake recti-
fed. A delegate moved that the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern roads be
included in the resolution.
Marion Cannon of California protested
against the resolution as exhibiting a
want of independent spirit. His vehement
denuncaton of the roads brought the
audience to its feet several times. He said:
cit is not by accident that the Pacific
coast delegates have been overlooked Our
request for the customary courtesy was de-
MED deliberately and with insolence. do
not want this convention to go to the rail
road company, cap in hand, and ask for any
privileges. The Democrats and Republic
cans % :ured half fare, but we producers
of the earth have been refused equal terms.
We can stand the refusal"
Mr. Cannon, livid with passion, swung
his hat in the air and declared in tones
that rang from end to end of the hall, that
1--WE can tell those railroad companies
that the people will own and operate
those roads yet" Here every delegate
rose and cheers rent the air.
Mr. Dean of New York moved that the
matter be brought before the interstate
commerce commission, to see whether the
law permitted railroads to discriminate
in favor of one national convention atains t
another He proposed using the matter
for campaign purposes The motion was
carried. a recess until . p. m. was taken
When the convention was again called

ONE OF THE OLDEST.

a Centcnarinu who was Eorn In Fort
Henry ut Wheeling Still Living Near
kooIsnis, Town.
A dispatch from Keokuk, Iowa to the
Chicago Globe says:
Gen. William Harrison, living near
San Franasville, in Clark county, Mis-
souri,, not far from this city, is the old
est man in this city or vicinity whose
age is we'll authenticated. General
Harrison was born at Wheeling, W.
va, in 1904, in Fort Henry, erected to
defend the whites against their Indian
foes. General Harrison came west in
1920, locating that year ut the farm
upon which he still lives. He has voted
at nineteen Presidential elections, his
1lrst vote being cast in 1916 when Mon
1oe was elected. In politics the general
usually supported tho candidate of the
Wing and Republican parties. Andrew
Jackson being the candidate OF his
choice, tho genera! heartily voted for
him in 1928 and 1882 Since 1856 he has
worshiped other gods and voted with the
Republicans. Alexander McNair was
governor OF Missouri when General
Harrison located in that state. The
generals home is near q trail used in
early days by various tribes OF Indians
IN their .pllgrlmages up and down the
Dcs Aloines river. This has been his
home for nearly sevcnty-fye years. Flo
frequently entertained Back Hawk and
other famous chiefs Mt his house, and
tells OF their friendship for him with
pleasure and delight. Although now
feeble in health, his memory remains
unlmpaired, and in conversation
makes his listeners realize ut once that
they are in the presence OF great and q
good man. lie is instructive and enter
tanning. With him there is no waste OF
words. Hisvoice indicates strength and
1orce OF character. His sentences arc
spoken in words OF directness and.
Kindness that tell OF his natural good
ness OF heart. He makes ono iccl that
he is q person OF another ccntury-one
OF a different world, and such he is.
During his lifetime MI the worlds great
est inventions and discoveries have
been made. For soyenty-two years, no
has lived on tho Same farm. Probably
there isn't another person in this coun-
try OF whom this can be said. General
Harrison has seon tho clock Of time
turned forward almost accntury. On
an elevated ridge short distance north
of his home is n cemetery, and here he
has selected location where he has re.
quested to be buried, which, tits hoped,
Will not be necessary until long after
he has visited the Worlds Fair at Chi
cago, where he will be able to see what
the countries OF tho world have done
during his long span OF life.
