DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The fact that the Democrats stood in
slippery places last night did not dampen
their ardor and enthusiasm in the least.
The floor of Germania hall was glazed
with the wax that had been put on for
the last dance. and more than one heavy
weight did a loop-the-loop stunt that
greatly delighted those whose feet were
more firmly planted, and seemed to add
to the general good feeling.
From the minute that Chairman My
han of the city central committee called
the convention to order until the last
precinct committeeman had been named
the delegates attended strictly to business.
G. M. Riddell was chosen chairman of the
convention, and Harry Johnston was made
secretary.
When Chairman Riddell called for nom-
nations for mayor there was demonstra-
ton the like of which Germania hall has
not seen for some time. AS soon as the
noise subsidized so that he could be heard,
j. j. Anderson addressed the chair, and
said:
"Gentlemen and Fellow Citizens 1t af-
fords me great pleasure to stand before
this assemblage of representative Demo
Gratis and representative citizens, to place
in nomination the next mayor of the city
of Tacoma. We have watched the lively
scrap that is going on in the camp of our
friends the enemy, and we are in much

Dedicatory Celebration Draws Many of Antlered Herd of Juneau to the City

tracted a great deal of attention, and added to the effect of the parade from the wharf to the hall. They consisted of white coats and white caps with pur- pie band, containing the letters, B. P O. F. Each member also carried purple and white umbrella. The goat, in charge of Master John Olds, Jr,, was done in a rich purple, the lodge color. Little Miss York, in white and purple dress, is the mascot for the Juneau lodge.
 The Juneau Elks are provided with cards containing the following verse, which was sang as the Georgia ap- preached the wharf:
 "T'm gwine up to Skagtown, No more Pm gwine to wander My hearts turned away to Skagtown I can't stay away no longer; I hear de boys a callin', I see de good things fallin', My eyes are turned to Skagtown and
 must gO.'
 Among those who came from Juneau are the following:
 F. Loves, w. ". Casey, S. G Kauf- mvn, George Simpkins, H. Bishop, Ed Thornton, J. G. Held, A. J. Mckinney, John Mclaughlin, s. York, Charles Erickson, Mayor G. F. Forrest, H J. Raymond II.

The Elks have captured Skagway and have possession of the town today. It did not require such an assault as the Japanese have made on more than a few occasions upon Port Arthur to in- duce the people of this city to capitu- late to the antlered herd, but it is prob able that the Elks would have had the town, even had there been resistence. But fhere was none. Somehow, the av- craze American town enjoys being taken by the ElKs, and Skagway, in that respect, at least, is an average American town.
 The Georgia arrived a short time after 10 o'clock this morning with B members, the horned herd of Juneau, many of whom were accompanied by their wives, daughters and sisters. The lodge goat was also brought along The Skagway Elks met their incoming brethren with the Third infantry band on Moore dock, from where the Juneau ties were escorted to the Elks' hall. F. T. Keelar, as grand exalted ruler made the welcoming speech, and Mayor Keller obllgingly presented the key to the city. The visitors wers asked to help themselves to what they could find.
 The rain prevented the local lodge from carrying out some of the sight seeing portions of the program.
 All the members of the Skagway lodge of Elks are acting as a reception committee, to entertain their guests, and the ladies are being looked out for by a reception committee of ladies, con- sistiug of the following named:
 Mesdames L s. Keller, k. T. Keelar, J. P. Rogers, J. J. Daly, J. M Tanner and George S. Town.
 The dedicatory ceremonies were held at the hall of the order this afternoon. F. T. Reelar, past exalted ruler of the local lodge, served as the grand ex. alted ruler, and he was assisted by the other past exalted rulers.

men and citizens in general, several of the
storekeepers have placed cuspidors in
front of their places Of business:
Another clever plan has been adopted
by the women to enforce cleanliness, not
only in the streets, but in the alleys and
backwards, They send to all parts Of the
city a photographer who" makes photo
graphs of all the unclean spots. These
photographs are shown to the owners Of
the places that are Objectionable, and in
most cases when he sees how dirty his
property is he cleans up at once. If he
should be stubborn the photograph with
his name attached will be placed on ex-
hibition.
The efforts Of the women, who have
complete charge Of the streets for three
months, will not lag. Men are kept con-
stantly at. work armed with pushcarts
brooms, hoes and scrapers. The dirt is
placed in sacks and at the end of the
day is removed. Once each week the
streets are thoroly flushed by the fire de-
partment.
