SWALLOW FOR PRESIDENT.
Prohibition Party Nominate Pennsyl-
vania Man For President-The
Platform.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 30.-The
prohibition party in national conven-
tion today nominated Silas G. Swallow
of Pennsylvania for president and
George w. Carroll of Texas for vice
president. The platform was adopted
without argument, after a long dead
lock in the resolutions committee. 1t
was described by l. n. Ames of Ore
gon secretary of the committee, as the
broadest platform ever placed before
the people by the party. In addition
to the planks on the liq Tor question, it
declares the party to be in favor of in
ternational arbitration. suffrage law
based on mental and moral eualifica-
tions, uniform laws for the country and
dependencies, popular election of sena-
tors, civil service extention and the in
itiative and referendum. The trust
question was recognized by demand
for rigid application Of the principles
of justice to all organizations of capitol
and labor. A reform OF divorce laws
is demanded and polygamy denounced.
General Miles put an end to the
movement TO nominate him for p.esi-
dent bv sending to John G. Wooley
telegram from New York which
renched him shortly after noon, asking
that his name not be presented This
was considered final and the move
ment to Mr.. Swallow was unanimous,
20 other name being considered.

tion pledges from the floor of the con
vention, which, with $ll 900 in the
treasury, will be the nucleus of the

President Roosevelt is fond of sur
prising his friends. He has now ap-
pointed to the seat at the cabinet table
vacated by Secretary Moody, Mr.. Paul
Morton. son of Sterling Morton, Cleve-
lands secretary of agriculture. AS
this assignment of the portfolio came
at the very hour of the nominating
convention it must be regarded as
made for the next term His public
reputation OF the democratic party
was made only seven weeks ago. but
its vigorous terms satisfied the presi.
dent, who seems not to have consulte d

speech Of welcome, after which
he introduced the orator of the
day, Congressman ]. P. Conner
of the Tenth Iowa district, who
delivered a thirty-fve minute
speech, the full text of which APP
pears elsewhere in this paper.
The speech was patriotic but not
partisan and he held the close at

turned the brightest pages of our
history and treated Of the serious
problems confronting the Ameri-

BILE to do justice to the address by
merely commenting upon it, and
we commend to all those who did
not have the opportunity of hear
ing itsa careful perusal Of it as it
appears elsewhere in this issue.
The noon hour found the park
filled with picknickers who had
brought their dinners in baskets.
The lunch counters and hotels
also did a good business. After
dinner the sports were begun. 1t
was too muddy to use the track
originally laid out on the street
south of the park SO a course was
roped off just inside the park,
where the races took place. An
unusually large number of contest
ants appeared for each event in
the hopes of winning the prize
money which the committee had
offered, so we are unable to give
the names of all who entered. Fol

won first and second in each of the

Denison held good, old fash
ioned Fourth of July celebration
on Monday. From the firing of
the salute at sunrise till the last
sky rocket had spread its meteor
ic splendors to the heavens at
night, it was one grand jolli6ca-
ton.
1t was a sane Fourth of July
celebration. The sale of cannon
fire crackers was prohibited sew
eral weeks beforehand. Early in
the morning a number of dyna-
mite canes exploded and their
sale was Immediately forbidden
AS a result of these precautions
there were no serious injuries re-
sulting from fireworks of any SORT.
The boys contented themselves
with fire crackers of the smaller
caliber and seemed to extract as
nucl. fun from the day as they
ever did.
There were refreshment stands
in sufficient quantity to supply the
wants of the people, both up town
and at the park. There was but
one show in the city and that one
was moral and clean in every re-
y spect. The gambling devices US
ually seen at celebration of this
sort were conspicuous by their abb
sence and in no respectlcan it be
said of Denison that the town was
wide open or that the "lid was
off.
The rains Of the previous day
and night had made the roads un-
pleasantly muddy, but the sun
came out bright, and by ten
o'clock the city was filled with
people from far and near. The
Carroll band was on the ground
and was all that the committee
anticipated in that they are fine
musical organization. The COM
mittee would have to have gone
long way from home to have Sc
cured a better one
About eleven o'clock the parade
started from the city hall, the line
of march passing through the
business portion of town and ex
tending to Washington Park. The
parade was one of the largest,
most unique, and most artistic
trades displays ever seen in Deni-
son. Nearly every business house
in the city was represented and
more artistic skill was displayed
in the construction of the floats
than ever before in the history of
the city. A number Of secret or
ders were also represented. Fol
lowing is the list of those taking
part in the parade in the order
named:
W. j. McAhren, marshall.
The Carroll Band.
