ROGERS
Nominated for Congress by
Washington Democrats

SEATTLE, WASH AUGUST 20
The conference committees of the three
conventions met at an early hour this
morning and it was agreed after some
deliberation that the democrats should
be allowed to have their name at the
head of the fusion ticket. In addition
to agreeing that the ticket should be
called democratic, the committee
agreed upon the following:
'That the union convention shall
consist of all delegates accredited on
the several roll calls Of the three con-
ventions.
THAT the two-thirds rule shall pre-
vail in the nomination of candidates"
The first movement Of Importance in
the union conventions was the nomna-
tions for congress. Col. f. G. Robert
son, the Rogers man, was offered also
j. Ronald, the anti-Rogers committee
man. Three ballots were taken but
neither were enabled to capture the
necessary two-thirds vote. A mot on
was made that the two men be declared
the unanimous choice Cor congi SIS
The Rogers people were willing that
this should be because the nom nation
of Robertson would mean the elimina-
ton of Voorhees, from the gubernator-
/ ial race. For that reason the Ronald
supporters did not favor making the
election unanimous even though by so
doing they could land their man. They
were against Rogers and for Voor-
hees.
The convention finally bowed to the
desire of the Rogers people and al
lowed the nomination of Ronald and
Rogers to be made unanimous.
The platform adopted says among
other things
We still believe in the declaration of
independence, and therefore hold 1t
aloft in preference to the imperialistic
policy of the republican party.
We oppose trusts and combinations
which corner the products of industry
and levy tribute on the people. and we
denounce the republican policy which
cOrruptly creates and fosters these
harmful combinations. We are against
rhonopoles of all kinds, and especially
view with the gravest concern the at
titude of the republican administra-
ton in creating the greatest of all mon
opoles in its delegating to the nation
banks the sovereign right to make ant
issue the peoples money.
We denounce those twin relics o.
barbarism-imperialis and militarisn
adopting their platform the convention
adjourned until evening.

Philadelphia, June 19.-Chairman
Hanna called the convention to
order at 1895 o'clock in the presence
OF ] 500 delegates and alternates and
$1,000 men and women. Theconven-
tion, for the most part, was very
orderly one, for the reason that it
seemed to be forgone conclusion as
to what it was goirg to do.
The greatest outbursts of enthusi-
asm were when Roosevelt entered
the hall, and when Chairman Hanna
mentioned the prosperous condition
of the country under the present ad-
ministration.
Senator Wolcott's speech is de-
scribed as very eloquent effort.
The principal interest centers
around the vice presidency. The New
York delegation, after u rather
stormy session OF four hours. and in
the face OF the repeated statements
by Rooseveldt that he was not a
candidate, decided to favor Woodruff.
The associated press says that the
strongest probability seems to point
to Secretary Long, inqsmuch as
Roosevelt is continually refusing and

"The one thing in this world,
says Robert Iugersol', shat is con-
tant, the one peak that raises above
all clouds, the one window in which
light forever burns, the one star
that darkness cannot queneh, is
womans love. 1t rises to the great
est heights and sinks to the lowest
depths, it forglves the most cruel
injuries. II is perennial OF life and
grows in every cline neither GOODNESS
nor neglect, harshness nor cruelty
can extinguish it. A womau's love
is the perfume of the heart. This is
the real love that has wrought all
miracles in art, that gives us music
all the way from the cradle song to
the grand symphony that bears the
soul away on wings of fire. A love
that is greater than power, sweeter
than life aud stronger than death
