WAITING RESULTS
Candidates Anxiousiv Waiting the Outcome of
the Convention

CHICAGO, July ALLAN w. Thur
man, one of Ohio's big four, is very in
dignant at the attempt to make it ap-
pear that he initiated an attack on Mr..
Bland because of the latter's religious
convictions. He says he was misrepre-
sented in an interview which was
printed.
II was asked, said he, whether 1
thought the fact that Mr.. Bland's wife
and sons were Catholics would in any
degree weaken him as a candidate I
replied that it was an outrage that a
mans religious connection should be
talked about. I said that for Mr.. Bland
personally I had the highest re gard.
and that no one appreciated more than
I his work in the silver cause. No one
has attacked the A. p. A. more vigor-
ously than l. l have no religious incli-
nation. 1 am sorry what l said was
talked about. Religious bigotry could
not be controlled. In his letter in which
he defended his wifes religion he laid
down my platform exactly. He ex-
pressed my sentiments in a beautiful
way"

THE SQUADRON'S PRIDE
The BattIeship Oregon Accepted by the Navy
Department

SAN FRANCISCO. July The big
battle ship Oregon is now the pride of
the White Squadron. At noon today she
passed out of the custody of her builders
and into the possession of the navy de-
partment of the United States. In seven
days more she will be put into commits
sion and added to the North Pacific fleet.
All her officers will be on board of her a
week from today and she will then be
ready for active service. Today about
250 men from the receiving ship were put
on board the vessel as soon as she was
officially accepted and about as many
more blue Jackets will be making the
ship their home by the time the officers
detailed to the Oregon are on duty. Con-
trary to the naval custom, the big ship
was accepted at her anchorage in Mis-
sion bay, instead of being regularly pre-
sented to the naval officials at some con-
venient navy yard. The government
feared to trust such vessel to the COM
paratively shallow waters of San Pablo
bay and the straits about Mare Island.
