The Democrats Of the city complete
their labors last night as the clock 0
The Joint building chimed the hour Z
eleven. A ticket was named heade
BY james C. Leary, whom perhaps ie'
knew was a candidate for mayor UNI
afternoon. But ever since the Ma
;onal live stock convention last Jan
nary in which he figured prominently
his name has been before The peop'
ana his friends think no one could nav
been named VINO would draw NOR
votes than he Will. The rest OF th
ticket Is made UP OF men VINO are We
known in the city, most OF them haNih'
been raised here. 1870
when the News report closed las
night The convention was In the thfoel
OF heated controversy as to whether
The platform should be adopted all d
once or section by section. MI bed'l
was one who favored the latter course
urging that a Democratic conVehlioL
could afford TO examine It's plauorn
section by section and everyone given
a chance TO talk. The same position
was taken by Justice Kroeser ana
Judge Hoge, but Delegate Fowlel
thought that discussion Of the matter
was unnecessary; that Il should be
nut to vote to let the convention de,
eide whether or not the platform shou'u
be adopted piece meal

ing taken umbrage at one Of the ban

III is true that | want to obey the
ordinances of this city, but when /
stand in this Democratic convention
and see the banner that hangs there, l
want TO say 10 the gentlemen OF the
committee who had the matter IN
charge that It is q slap In the face Of
t,ery citizen of the city, and ! think
Il IA unjust and cruel. II Is true
that we have the liquor business In the
cities all over the country and we must
govern them by our city government.
lf your city officials fail to carry out
the law, We are not to blame, and |
say that that banner Is an insult to
the people
Here Joseph Z. Taylor rose to a
point Of order, urging that the discus
sion OF the banner was not before the
convention, and the chairman asked
Mr.. Mulyey TO conhne himself
10 the question.
After some further discussion Whlta-
kers amendment to consider the plat
form By sections was carried. Secre-
tary I.eary aid the reading and no OBJ
jections were raised until the third
section was reached.
Mr.. Mulyey thought II was going too
far IN the third section In using the
words, incompetent officers and en-
plOyes" and he wanted that whole
clause stricken out William II. Dale
AId the clause was all right and then
Hugh Watson delivered himself Of the
following words:
Il would like to ask n the Democrats

we continue TO 90 on In this line, that
we will attack ourselves | think the
Democrats In the city council have had
something to do with that as well as
the Republicans They have voted the
bonds as well as the Republicans.
There have been Democrats In the city
council that have voted for bonds We
have spent the money as much as the
Republicans
Fisher Harris then secured the floor
and made the following observations:
"A careful reading Of that platform
will reveal the fact that there Is no at
tack upon the proposition Of making a
bonded Indebtedness Attention Is
called 10 the fact that there Is an enor-
nous bonded Indebtedness. the interest
Of which Is q mortgage upon the home

and Il Is left for the intelligent public |

Interest and enormous bonded indebt- |
edness has been caused by Republican |
standardization. would Ike to cal |

and II anyone thinks we are going 10 |
handle the Republican party with vel
yet gloves, We viii lnaugurate a system

can colony Of cannibal man.eaters"
The section was adopted and the
reading Of the platform then proceeded
Without any serious Interruptions until |
section seven was reached, which was
tne rock on which the convention
waves lashed themselves into foam
MT. Leary took occasion to GIVE OK.
