MONTGOMERY. GO. FOR HEARST.
After . Stormy Session the Convention
Elects Hearst Delegates, gG TO K3.

FONDA, N. Y, Sept. IA political con-
vention which almost resulted in a riot
was held at Fonda this afternoon by the
Democrats Of Montgomery county to elect
State, Congressional and Senatorial dele
gates. For several weeks the Hearstites,
or more particularly the members Of the
Independence League, have been active
with a view of selecting Hearst delegates
to the State convention. The old line
Democrats, however, oppose such a pro-
ceeding.
Henry Whitehead, a delegate at large
from Amsterdam, moved that these dele
gates be elected to the State convention:
Mayor Jacob H. Dealy Of Amsterdam,
Charles r. Shuttle Of Canajoharie and
Rufus Wiles of Fort Plain. These dele
gates. il they had been elected, would have
gone to the convention uninstructed.
As SOC a. Mr.. Whitehead had made his
motion Charles Rowe Of the town Of Amster-
dam, a red hot Hearstite, offered as an
amendment that Alderman John Kelly of
Amsterdam, Peter Cook Of Fort Plain and
Supervisor r. A. Brace Of Fultonville be
elected delegates.
At one time the proceedings were brought
to a standstil and many Of the angry dele
gates left the hall. Later order was again
partly restored, and after much confusion
a vote was taken whether the Dealy or
Kelly delegates go to the State convention,
with the result that the Kelly ticket won by
a vote of So to 50.
The old line Democrats are much dis
pleased over the result OF the convention.
Adam Wemple OF Fultonville, a Hearst
follower, was elected. chairman Of the
county committee.

HEARST,S UPSTATE CAMPAIGN.
Opens II At Hudson with Q Frost ut the
Columbia County Fair.

HUDSON, Sept. le.-William Randolph
Hearst opened his upstate campaign In
his race for the Governorship here to-day.
In spite Of the fact that the manager Of the
Columbia county fair had extensively
advertised Mr.. Hearst as the biggest
attraction ever there was not much Of q
crowd and very little enthusiasm.
Mr.. Hearst left New York on the 1920
train. All the way up he kept looking
out Of the window to see II the villagers
were'aware that the tribune Of the pee-pul
was on board and actually passing before
their eyes. No one, not even the train
men, evinoed the slightest interest in the
fact, however, until the train reached
Hudson. There a small delegation, made
up mostly OF the delegates who had yelled
for Hearst at Carnegie Hall last week, met
the attraction. This party with a band
escorted him to the fair grounds. The
crowds on-the streets looked at the aggre-
CATION curiously. The fair managers had
done their utmost to drum up a crowd.
Columbia and the surrounding counties
had been ~placarded for weeks with nor
nous posters, which screamed in big red
letters. that The most startling and stu
pendous attraction ever offered was to
prove the rawing card to-day. o..
The tribune Of the pee-pul wore his most
seductive smile and tried hard to overcome
the frost. The natives OF Hudson are OF
Dutch descent and not easily conned. They
we're willing to look the tall, thin millionaire
over il it didn't cost anything, but they
drew the line at putting up half a dollar
just to hear him speak. There were sew
eral hundred people, however, who had
paid the admission price, and after ook-
ing over the big pumpkins and the fat hogs
they dropped around to the platform where,
next to a band of itinerant vaudeville per-
formers, the greatest attraction ever
stood smiling and bowin1

Last nights meeting 81 the Liberals
Al which was adopted in Its entirety the
rcyo,utionists' demand for the total Annul-
msnt OF the elections, including that OF
President Palma, has created a very bitter
feeling at the palace against Senator zayas.
He outwitted Palma. leading him to believe
thaehe (Zayas) was willing to ALLOW the cleo
tlon OF Palma to stand. So he obtained
the release Of forty p~risonerss who inn
mediately went OF to join the rebels in the
field. Then, late last night, when the Des
Moines was almost in sight, he put through
the Liberal convention an incorporating
reaolution.
Zayas's friends say that had he not played
the game Of pretending that Palma's resig-
xnation would not be demanded Palma
would have had him arrested, for the decree

the state Of martial law that exists. Be-

town have cut of the water supply n
that the situation there is so grave that
American marines have been landed from
the Dixie and Marietta to protect the sugar
estates OF C~onstancia and Soledad, which
ara owned by Americans.
The news from Cienfuegos is creating a
sensation here. Ii LuchG has received
another despatch which says that the water
supply was cut of early this morning at

greatly. 49,.

To Change Right of Way.

The Union Pacific Railroad company
yesterday filed in the Office of the clerk
of Laramie county a statement of in
tention to change its Tight-of-way and
a plat showing the intended changes,
says the Cheyenne Leader. The plat
of the cut-offs shows that a main cutoff
will leave the present Denver-Cheyenne
line at a point one mile north of Carr
station, an eighth of a mile south of
the Wyoming-C Colorado line and nine
teen miles south of Cheyenne. The
second and main branch of the cutoff
will continue west of north from the
point where the Cheyenne cutoff leaves
it for a distance of five miles, to a
junction with the main line about ten
miles west of Cheyenne and one mile
east of Borie station. The construction
of these cut-offs will result in through
freight from Kansas City, Denver, etc,
going direct from Denver to Laramie,
instead of through Cheyenne, and vice
versa. Through passengers will con-
tinue to pass through Cheyenne.

Trainmen Not Uneasy.

Republican reporters this afternoon
interviewed a number of trainmen of
the Wyoming division relative to the
report from the west that there was
threatened trouble between the men
and the company over wages, and they
all to a man denied that there was
the possibility of a strike here. They
say they have contracts with the com
pany, agreeable to both men and of
f~icials, and that they will not violate
these agreements. - The grievance
committees of some of the orders are
now comforting with officials of the
system and not a thing will be done to
break the peace at least until some
thing more than now forseen arises.

1t is not at all unlikely that the head
quarters of Laramie division, Order of
Railway Conductors, will be brought
back to Laramie from Rawlins in the
early days of the coming year, as most
of the members of the division now
have their homes here and few of the
Laramie conductors have time to at
tend the meetings. What time we
have in Rawlins," said one OF them this
morning, "is spent in sleep to prepare
for the return trip. The division was
transferred to Rawlins when the con.
dition was exactly opposite that of the
present time, and there Is no reason

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 2S.-Over
200 professors of modern languages
from all parts of the country gathered
here this morning, attending the TWEEN
tieth annual session of the American
Modern Languages association. The
principal subject for discussion, which
opens this afternoon, is. WAS 1t an
Apple that Eve Handed to Adam"
Diversion as to Forbidden Fruit.
There is considerable diversified
opinion as to the forbidden fruit. Prof.
Johnson of Leland Stanford university,
who has studied the question closely,
thinks 1t vas a much more magnificent
fruit than an apple. Other professors
think it was a lemon that was handed

WYOMING WOOL GROWER
PROPOSES TO BE POSTED.

Prof. Buffum of the University of
Wyoming is now in the east in search
of machinery for a securing plant
which will be installed at the Wyoming
university experiment station at once,
says the Wyoming correspondent of
the National Sheep Breeder. The wool
from flocks in various sections of the
state will be secured. and in the early
spring a complete report will be is
sued. 1t is expected that this wool
securing experiment will be of lasting
benefit to the wool grower, in that he
will become educated to the shrinkage
of his wool, its value on the secured
basis, etc. AS a matter of fact, Wyo-
ming wool has improved wonderfully
of late, and it may be said that Wyo-
ming lockmasters have also become
better educated al to the value of
their wool and the many uses to which
the different grades are put. The wool
securing tests will still further educate
him, and in the future the wool buyers
will find the sellers in this state know
just about as much about the wool as
they do themselves. The buyers have
argued all along that they would rath-
er do business with a man who knows
the true value of his clip than with a
grower who is not posted. If this is
true, then the buyers will look forward
with pleasure to their buying cam
paign in this state. One thing is GER
tain, and that is hat the buyer will
find the Wyoming grower posted to
such an extent that he will insist upon
the full value of his clip, and there will
be no possibility Of a Squeeze" as
was pe%rpetrated in Montana and was
threatened in Wyoming the past sea
son.

STRAINED HIS LEG
STOPPING A RUNAWAY.

Ole Peterson, formerly a member of
the city council from the Third ward,
is almost laid up from a strained leg,
sustained while trying to prevent the
runaway team of Calep Jones from up
setting hte cart and tumbling Mr..
Jones to the ground. The team was
turning the corner of the street at The
West Side hose house and became al
most unmanageable. Mr.. Peterson
who was near by at the time, tried to
get hold of one of the horses, and in
turning suddenly suffered a wrench OF
the right leg, being for a time almost
beyond the power of locomotion. He is
getting better and is believed will suf-
fer no ill consequence from the acct
dent. Mr.. Jones was able to quiet the
team without damage to himself or the
outfit.

Second Amputation Necessary.

Drs. Stevens Inc Miller this morn
ing found that a second amputation of
the right leg of Henry Headlund would
be necessary, by reason of the condi-
ton of the limb following the opera
ton of Wednesday afternoon, and &C
cordingly the limb was taken off above
the knee. Headlund is the engineer
of the steam shovel engine at the
roundhouse whose foot was ground off

well.

Indications of Trouble.

Chicago, Ill, Dec. 2S.-There are Sc
rious indications today of trouble be-
tween the forty-two western railroads
and their employees. The men have de-
manded a fifteen per cent increase.
Last night the managers met and this
morning announced that the roads
would not pay it, as they could not af-
ford to. The union representatives are
meeting today and are not in a con
ciliatory mood.
