Convention to Put

Ticket.

{ INDIANAPOLIS, Aug The con-
ference of the sound money Demo-
erals fully met the expectations Of It's
promoters There were 33 States
represented and about 200 Democrats
from all over tt. ountry were in at
tendance. Tho 5h the most famous
politicians Of the party were absent,
this fact did not dampen the ardor or
determination of those present to go
ahead and put in the field ticket
and platform that would represent
what they believe to be the real tenets
Of the Democratic party of the coun-
try. The conference reflected in
large measure the class Of Democrats
it represented that is, the business
element. They did not come here to
make great speeches or to play at
politics and went at their work in
business like way without waste Of
time in contests for honor or prelim

conference was held OF noon, which
was not open to the public, the pur
pose of which was to bring into line
the members from Texas, Georgia,

who came here with the impression
that third ticket would probably
do more harm than good by dividing
he sound money forces d the con-
ference At this conference speeches
were made by Gen. Buckner Of Ken
lucky, Mr. Cultivate of Ohio, Mr..
Wilson of Indiana and Mr.. Ewing Of
of Illinois, deu orstrating the fact
that in their States third ticket was
necessary in order that the sound

declared that in their section Of coun-
try, where every inch of political

BATTLE OF FLOWERS.
San Antonio's Oommemoration Of Texas
Libertys' Victory Will Not Be
Abandoned

1t was bruited about the streets last
week that there would be no flower battle
in San Antonio this year This idea was
repudiated with beautiful scorn by
many ladies of this citv, who met in the
rooms of the Business Mems club yester-
day afternoon. The assembly room was
filled with San Antonio's representative
women, and II was decided to have such a
flower battle and display as would torture
all Rome.
1t was thought best to have no varia-
tion from previous years in the matter of
offices, committees and procedure. Mrs
Elizabeth Ogden was elected president of
the association; Mrs. j. [. Slayden, first
vice. president: Mrs. Frank Paschal,
second vice president; Mrs. A. c. Smith,
third vice. president: Mrs. n. r. Wilson,
secretary; Mrs. Il. HertZberg, treasurer.
As there was q decided dearth OF men in
the audience, the entrance OF Mr.. Rose
was greeted with enthusiastic acclama-
tiOns.
Ways and means were then discussed.
Each lady present was assessed one dol
lar toward expenses, and IL is thought
that the merchants, who derive the chief
benefit from the fete, will make liberal
donations
The ladies wish the merchants 20 deco
rate their places of b lsinesS on he day of
the battle. They also desire to advertise
for any pretty dOnkeyS. Owners of don
keys are requested to be at the next
meeting.
The Alamo will not be decorated, as it
is hoped that the historic structure will
be placed in such good condition by that
time, that any attempted decoration will
detract from its beauty.
The committees have not been COM
pletely filed out yet, the foil owing names
alone being available for publication:
Committee on carriages, Mrs Geo. NJ.
Gordon, chairman.
Committee on floats, Mrs NJ. P. Baugh,
chairman.

Success can only be assured by going back
TO the cause in the treatment of disease.
Many Doctors can see the effects only, such
as are visible to the eye, and treat the sym

many failures The skilled Specialist devotes
all his study to a few diseases and become as
familiar with them as you do with the faces

Just what to do.
If you have exposed yourself to disease and
