The State Convention will meet at Hot Springs on the 1 4th day of June and will nominate a ticket for the Democracy to vote for at the September election.
 When the ticket is named Demo- erats have but a single duty to perform and that duty Is to sup port the ticket. There may, and
 doubtless will, be names upon 1t that are obnoxious and even hateful to some people, but while this is regretable itcannot be avoided, since there are so many Democrats 1t would al most be an impossibility to name ticket that every man
 on it would please every voter. You may dislike one of the nom- inees and your neighbor anoth- CT of them and so on to the end; but if you are party man and love the principles of your party you must defer to the will of the

"The Democracy is paying lit tie heed to the selection of a vice presidential nominee, and the causes of this seeming neglect are obvious. IfTudge Parker or any other candidate for the first place on the ticket had enough instructed votes to insure his nomination the party would not be concerned about it's nominee for the presidency, and until that concern is quieted no thought will be given the second man It Is apparent that none ofthe candidates can get enough instructed votes to give him the necessary two-thirds majority on the first ballot, and conse- quently all attention is now be- ing paid to the selection of q contestant to tilt with Mir. Roosevelt. The matter should be agitated. however, and the party familiarized with the fa- vorite sons who will be propos- ed for the place. Tennessee has endorsed her brilliant senator. Mr. Carmack, and while he IS not considering himself seriously as a possibility there are those who do. If he were accepted by the St. Louis convention and elected by the nation he would restore the vice presidency to its former proud rank. In the last eight years he has broadened and moderated until he now gives promise of d future of un- usual character. Tennessee could Ill atfOrd to spare hlIn, but the Volunteer State has never been selfish when the country demanded a sacrifice of her. 1t would give LIS joy to see Senator Carmaek honored by the party he has served so forcefully with his splendid ability .e-Commer- cial Appeal
 There is not a single southern state but what has men who would fill we'll and satisfactorily either the first or second place on the ticket. Carmack, of Tennessee, l. K. Jones. of Arkan- sas, l :, Williams, of Mississip- pi, and many others that could be named, would be all right for vice president, should the con vention deem 1t wise to look Southward for the man.

Ifyou have a right to disregard the ticket named and vote against one man on 1t every other man has the same right, and Conventions would be q farce and a useless waste of time. When the ticket is named the good Democrat ignores indi- viduals and votes for the ticket as a whole. The Convention or primary election settles the question of individual preferen- ces. Before these are held each candidate Is before the people for their separate and independ- ent action. but afterwards no man is voted for. but instead, the Primary Election or Con- vention ticket.

young fellows had fought with a section
foreman and his crew near INTERPLAY and
had been repulsed. and it is supposed that
they opened the switch for revenge.
Among them was the name of Matthew
Noren, young man about Is years old,
whose parents reside at Falkland. Last
November Matthew Noren ran away from
home, going to Olympia, afterwards COM
ing to Tacoma. After reaching here no
trace of him could be found The police
department was notified and the officers
kept watch for him, but to no avail. Yes
terday the Seattle Post-Intelligencer pub
lished an account of the arrest and gave
the picture of the young man, which hap
pened to fall into the hands Of the fa-
ther at Falkland, who brought the clip
ping to the police headquarters this morn
ing to let them know that he had at last
found his boy. He left on the Interur-
ban train this morning for Ballard.

MAHNCKE FILES
HIS ANSWER

Councilman Henry Mahncke has filed his
answer in the suit for divorce brought
by his wife some time ago. He alleges
that most of the charges brought by the
complainant are untrue and that he has
been at all times a devoted husband. In
regard to his destroying the papers, as
she alleges, while she was away at church,
he states that in the morning, before going
to church, they had quarreled and that he
did not feel like going anywhere, so re-
manned at home. Mrs. Mahncke, how
ever, went to church. After thinking
over the situation and in view of the fact
that his children could no longer live at
home, he made up his mind to destroy
some of his papers and take the rest with
him, and left the place in the presence
of three persons.
He denies that he ever suggested to
her that each should put 81 900 and build
them a home, which should be hers, or
that he refused to take out a life insur-
ance policy for er benefit, but alleges that
he did ask her to take out a policy in
his favor, as his financial affairs were in
such condition that in case of death
thousand dollars or so would help out
greatly. Mr.. Mahncke alleges that he in
SIfucJed MS cnlluren TO mlnQ their step
mother and treat her respectfully.
Councilman Mahncke states that he
never caused the notice to he published
in the News until he had settled several
of her bills about town, contracted after
separation.
When Mrs. Mahncke first came to Ia
coma she stayed with an old friend who
knew her in the East. She was intro
duced to him as Mrs Miller, but later on
he learned that her true name was Graf
Miller and that she was a divorced wo-
man. He declined at first to marry her
on that account, but later, because of her
pleading, he waived his position and mar
ried her. On account of his income being
so small, he asked to defer the MARRIAGE
for one year, but she refused, saying there
was man in California who would marry
her and if he did not marry her then she
would go to California and never return.
Mr.. HI. b. Ritz, an old friend of the
plaintiff, makes an affidavit which is great
ly in Mr.. Mahncke's favor. He testifes
to Mrs. Mahncke giving his family very
valuable jewelry in May, 1908, and she
gave him power of attorney without Sc
curity or bond to sell or dispose of her
property.
The couple were married in Tacoma by
Rev. H. " Givler in 1902. The hearing
viii occur early next month.

HAVRE LOSSES
s35o,OOO

HAVRE, Mont, Jan. l5.-The losses by
the conhagration which began here early
Thursday morning were greater than yes
terday's dispatches indicated. The entire
business portion of the town was wiped
out, only the store of the Havre Com
mercial company being saved The fire
started in an alley between saloon and
business house on the main street, from
an unknown source A number of f1imsy
structures were destroyed with 100000 loss
before the flames We're subdued by the fire
department. Five hours later the smoul
dering ruins sent forth sparks, which
ignited other buildings. A high wind was
blowing and within short space of time
three blocks of stores and half the resi-
dences in Havre were laid in ashes. The
railroad shops escaped. The losses reach
$350,000. with $l45,000 insurance.

picture machines are enclosed in double
lined asbestos rooms. Some minor changes
were recommended in regard to ventila-
tors and the fire extinguishers on the
stage.
The installation Of more stand pipes
and automatic sprinklers for both the Ia
coma and Lyeeum theaters, and an ashes
tos curtain for the latter, is recommended.
The managers of both theaters have sig
nihed their willingness to Immediately
comply with all the recommendations.
George NJ Shredder, of the Lyceum, stat
ed to The Times last night that he was
making plans for extensive improvements.
Several alterations are contemplated that
will make the theater one of the best in
the state.
The ordinance under which the inspec-
ton was made was framed in 1895. Since
that time many conditions have changed
and it would be impossible today to com
ply with some of the minor provisions of
the ordinance The passage of new
ordinance viii be recommended.

not made the report public, assurances are
given that there is nothing in it that need

AT the Tacoma theater the inspectors
found the exits to be of the proper num-

ferent parts of the house. There is heavy
asbestos curtain in proper working order,
said to be the best hreproof curtain III
Washington The automatic sprinkler
system, which the law requires to be
placed in the loft above the stage, IS lack.
ing. In its place are a number OF chemical
fire extinguishers. A fire alarm box con-
nected with the city lire alarm system IS
located on the stage.
With the exception of the asbestos cur
tain and the fire alarm box, practically the
same conditions were found to exist IN the
Lyceum theater The aisles are OF ample
width and the exits are easy OF access and
are of greater width and number than
the law requires for the seating capacity
of the house. and the number OF tre eX-

against fire.

BOOKS FOR SYLVAN
LIBRARY ASSOCIATION

Recently an ordinance was passed by
the city council providing for the dispo-
sition of books and papers that are of
no further use to the city library In ac-
cordance with the provisions of the ordi-
nance, Librarian Jonathan Smith has pre-
pared collection of II of these books,
which viii be given to the Historical and
Library association of Sylvan, on Fox
island, as a gift from the Tacoma library.
The city council will be asked to approve
the donation next Wednesday evening
E. n Fitch, formerly connected with the
Traders National bank of Tacoma, drew
up this ordinance and it is natural that
the first gift should be made to his own
community. Mesdames f. N. Fitch and
Conrad i. Hoska are the directors of the
Sylvan library. Other applications are now
on file and the remainder of the shelf-worn
books will be given away from time to
time.

He said that it is practically certain,

but says that Japan is ready to go to
war unless Russia will give a definite
