A HUGE JOKE

The biggest Joke in mining way
happened to the asphalt trust in Tri-
nidad. 1t got possession ftitle to all
the pitch lake Of la Brea, or at least 1t
thought it did, but another fellow had
a different idea. lie had . survey
made and found that a patch ten feet
square was not covered by the deeds
and he got possession Of it. And now
he is mining away merrily Ten feet
square being as good as a whole lake
with fluid mineral which flows in as
fast as it can be pumped out

1t will relieve many people around
Los Lunas and n number of people liv-

few words He complied promptly
with the request and revealed the best
and strongest voice thus far heard In
the convention. What president has
been brave enough to enforce the law
against the labor union violator of law
1t was democratic president" he said,
and applause greeted the assertion.
He passed on to the color question and
declared that If when the black, or yell
low races came into contact with white
people, If that race would not commit
suicide, 1t must remain absolutely dis
tinct. A shout from the southern dele
gates greeted the statement. He de-
clared that Booker T. Washington
would soon outlive his undoubted USE
fulness if he did not cease to yield to
the teachings and influences of the re-
publican party and its chief.ain.
He urged the men of the west and
north to refrain from depressing the
south by advocating anything that
tended to obliterate the racial lines.
He deprecated the fact that in the re-
publican convention not one man had
risen to speak agains. the plank in that
party's platform which urged reduction

voters In the south

favorite son candidates. The Nebras-
kan gained recognition soon after the
Cockrell nomination, and in speech
directed to an effort to defeat Parker,
made his elechifying plea for the anti
Parker forces to rally. He was given
the closest, attention. The great con-
vention which the police and sergeant
alarms were powerless to control, list
ened as though every word were per-
sonal message to each person, as if a
hypnotic spell had been cast over the
throng. But when it was all over, the
Parker forces had not been shaken
The ballot for president gave Parker
G5S votes out of the SGT needed to
nominate, and before the result could
be announced, Idaho, Nevada, Wash
ington and others made changes to the
Parker column. Gov. Dockery of Mis-
souri, moved to make The nomination
unanimous and 1t carried, amidst in
creasing cheering. The result of the
ballot was never announced officially
and it is not likely that 1t ever will
| be.
The convention took recess yester-
day until eight O'Clock last night for
the purpose of receiving the report of
the committee on resolutions. The re-
port was received and adopted by a
viva voce vote. So far as surface in
dications were concerned, there was
no more opposition TO the platform
than there had been to that adopted
unanimously by the republican conven-
ton in Chicago few weeks ago. Nom

eight names were presented to the con-
vention. Nominating and seconding
speeches innumerable were made, and
as dawn approached it became neces
sary to limit the scconding speeches
to four minutes each. An exception
was made in the case of William Jen-
nings Bryan, who, in one of the most
dramatic situations ever witnessed in
a political gathering addressed the con-
vention and concluded by seconding
the nomination of Senator Francis Nj.
Cockrell, "the favorite son" candidate
from Missouri. Mr. Bryan received the
third great ovation accorded during the
convention. His speech was an impas-
stoned appeal to the delegates to give
the party a candidate who had veted
the democratic ticket in 1896 and 1900.
He spoke on behalf Of the Nebraska
delegation, which he said had no can
didate to present or favors to ask, but
wanted candidate whose nomination
would not prove triumph for one
faction over another. He suggested
Hearst, if the convention thought best,
then former Gov. Pattison, of Pennsyl-
vania, and finally created a surprise in
the convention by declaring for Sena-
tor CockTell. y
One of the features of the long
drawn-out session had been the beauti-
full tribute paid to Senator Cockrell
when his name was placed in nomina-
ton by Representative Champ Clark.
1t was spontaneous outburst, and for
that reason the more complimentary to
the senator. The delegates already
weary by reason of the tedious and try
ing session, paused in their labors, and
in the guise of nomination for the
presidency which the senator's friends
knew to be beyond his reach, indulged
in q demonstration, continuing nearly
half an hour. Nearly every delegate
and spectator in the galleries or on the
floor had been provided with flag and
the scene was far the most impressive
of all the ovations given during the
session.
The thousands Of cheering persons
apparently converted Mr.. Bryan to the
belief that Senator Cockrelps chance:
Of nomination were greater than Other

Evening Session.

The convention was called to order
at 5:37 p. m. for its seventh session. T.
H. Ball, of Texas, moved that nominat-
ing speeches for vice. president be linn
tied to ten minutes and seconding
speeches to five minutes, not more than
three speeches TO be allowed any can
didate. This was agreed TO-.
Alabama being called, Delegate E. L.
Russell yielded the floor to the state of
Illinois. f. P. Morris, of that state,
placed in nomination Congressman j.
R. Williams.
Arkansas being next called. Gov. Jeff
Davis responded: Arkansas has no
candidate, but she has votes in No
vember to deliver to the nominee of
this convention"
When Colorado was reached Delegate
T. J. O'Donnell announced that his
state yielded the floor to the state of
Washington. The chair thereupon pre-
sented to the convention Frederick c.
Robertson, who nominated Senator
George Turner.
Delegate Spencer, Of Indiana, second
ed the nomination Of Williams,
Delaware yielded to West Virginia
and John D. Anderson of the latter
state nominated Henry G. Davis, say
| ing, among other things:
when | went through the state of
West Virginia in 1896 and 1900 along
with our gallant standard-bearer, the
matchless Bryan, we found Henry G.
Davis, fellow democrats, although he
had worked his way up through an
honest life to position Of influence
among the people, we found him as
sisting us, his shoulder to the wheel
always. And it is no reflection upon a
man, / take it, in a democratic conyen-
ton, to say that he not only never
scratched a ticket, but he never
dreamed of doing So
The states Of Florida and Georgia
upon being called by the clerk, were
passed, and Idaho being called, Senator
Fred t. Dubois of that state seconded
| Turner's nomination.
The clerk then called the states OF
! Illinois, Indiana and Iowa, without re-
ceiving ally response. Kansas was nexi
called and the chair recognized David
Overmeyer, who nominated Senate:
William A. Harris, of Kansas.
For Maryland John Prentice Poe
took the platform and seconded the
nomination of Mr.. Davis of West Vir-
ginia.
Senator William A. Clark, of Mon.
tana, was the next to speak. He frs
paid a high tribute TO the west, ant
then seconded the Turner nomination.

THE THIRD DAY.
Morning Session.

st. Louis, July 9.-The Democratic
national convention spent the morning
waiting for the report of the commit
tee on resolutions. A committee was
appointed by Chairman Champ Clark
to call on the resolutions committee
and learn when the platform would
be submitted to the convention. Just
before the noon hour the conventions
emissaries announced that the resolu-
tions committee would require until
eight o'clock to prepare it's report, but
that the action of the committee would
be unanimous, and platform submit
ted which, he declared, would bring the
party glorious victory"
The convention then took a recess
until eight o'clock Chairman Clark
had tie convention in hand from the
moment proceedings opened. He an
rounced, through strong-voiced as
sistant, that the first person raising a
row would be thrown out by the po-
lice" After the committee had been
dispatched to learn the pleasure of the
resolutions committee, the band gave
concert of popular and patriotic Sc
lections. Bourke Cochran was called
for to address the convention, but he
was not present. Former Senator
Charles A. Towne was next invited to
take the platform but declined. Capt
Richmond Pearson Hobson was the
next choice.
Mr.. Hobson accepted the invitation,
and, in a few moments, made his way
from the Alabama delegation to the
platform. He was greeted with a round
OF applause and the usual cries OF
Louder" When he had uttered but a
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1904-07-15

ton, remained serene.
After the nomination had been made,
the convention adjourned until 2 p. M,
when candidate for vice-presldent
will be chosen.

ton B. Parker, Of the New York state
court of appeals was nominated at
about fifteen minutes to six o'clock this
morning for president of the United
States by the democratic national con-
vention. But one ron call, and so de-
cisive was the result of that one that
contrary states began to call for rec
ognition and the ballot finally resulted
In a unanimous vote for the New York
state man. The scene was dramatic
in the extreme. Darkness had wit

hosts while broad daylight, the sun
paling the electric light, witnessed the
close.

THE FOURTH DAY.
Afternoon Session.

st. Louis, July 9.-The effect of last
nights protracted and harassing ses-
sion was plainly evident when the
hour arrived to which the recess had
been taken. Chairman Clark was not
present. Not over three hundred del
egates were in their seats and the gal
leries showed more empty chairs than
visitors. The pyrotechnics were over,
the red fire dying out. the curtain was
about to descend and the general in
terest in the proceedings was compare
lively gone.
|. For the first time since the conven-
toned opened it was possible to walk
the aisles without treading upon the
feet of other people and fighting for
passageway. The chairman arrived
at fifteen minutes after two O'Clock,
and that incident, which heretofore
has been the signal for applause, was
entirely unnoticed.
The prominent men In the party
were conspicuous by their absence.
Hill was in conference at the South
ern hotel trying to settle upon the
nominee for the vice-presidency Col.
Guffey, Of Pennsylvania Hopkins, of
Illinois; Daniel, of Virginia, and nu-
merous others were absent long after
the hour set for the commencement of
the days work.
Chairman Clark resumed the gavel
and, at 2:48 o'clock, began his effort
to call the convention to order. Be
fore the formal opening of the session.
the band was signaied for tune, as
many delegates began to arrive, max
ing too much confusion for the chair
to be heard. The rumor of a recess
had spread, and everyone was anxious
to know the procedure The delay con
tinued, however, waiting for WORD
from the vice-presidential conference
at the Southern hotel. The band was
utilized again for entertainment, ant
got rousing cheer as it struck uI
Dixie"
Rev. John T. M. Johnson, pastor Of
the Delmar Avenue Baptist church
was introduced and pronounced the
| invocation.
Gov. Dockery was recognized at the
conclusion of the prayer and read {
telegram from Senator Cockrell.
Mr.. Hopkins, of Illinois, secured rec
ognition for A. M. Lawrence, of tha
state, to read telegram from the
platform The telegram was from
William R. Hearst thanking his friends
for their support and indorsing the
nominee. The reading was warml!
applauded.
At $40 p. m. a recess was taken un
til $50 p. m.
