Tracey. Gillis.
Gillis' Name Withdrawn.

On the roll of counties for the first
formal ballot Lee county passed.
When the voting was completed, with
the exception of Lee, Mr.. Gillis seeing
he was defeated authorized Hon. T. F.
Campbell to withdraw his name. Lee
county then announced its twenty-one
votes for Tracy. The nomination
was made unanimous on the motion Of
Henry Eicher, of Washington, and sec
onded by James R. GiAis. This action
was taken amid applause, and Messrs.
Eicher and Gillis were appointed to es.
cort Mr.. Tracy to the platform.
Escort Candidate. q
The committee located Mr.. Tracy in
the rear Of the room and escorted him
to the front. In presenting the candi-
date to Chairman Hanna Mr.. Gillis
took occasion to reiterate that there
were no sore spots about him" He
declared that he was a democrat and
always stood by the party's action He
believed that the convention had made
a wise choice, or trusted" so at any
rate. From Mr.. Gillis' remarks one
might infer that he had not quite for
gotten the stories about those rail
road bonds'' Mr.. Tracy has been said
to own. However, he pledged his
heartiest support to the nominee. and
Mr.. Tracy warmly grasped Mr.. Gillis'
hand at the conclusion of his little
speech.
Mr.. Tracy made no attempt to con
ceal his qualification. He made no Sc
cret of the fact that he was after the
nomination during the pre-convention
fight, and he had reached the goal. His
speech was well received by the dele
gates. Apparently they were about as
well satisfied with Mr.. Tracy's nomi
nation as it is possible for a body OF
democrats to be-
For Tariff Revision.
Mr.. Tracy did not care to express an
opinion in advance of the state con

tariff revision was to be the demo
cratic slogan in the coming campaign

terate food products. Thirty Berlin
butter manufacturers were summoned
before the courts for an almost incred-
ible adulteration of their wares. and
the German papers have frequently
published accounts Of the manufacture
in Stressburg and elsewhere of sau-
sages from spoiled meat, colored and
doctored with chemicals. According
to a Strassburg paper there seems to
have been very few articles of manu-
factured food and drink products
which have not been the subject of
adulteration on the part of the German
manufacturer.
