chairman of the notification commit

Assembled here today from every
section of America are representatives
of the Democracy to whom has been
delegated the great privilege of ten
dering to you, Mr.. Kern, an honor and
trust as sacred as any political body
can offer to one of its most loyal and
distinguished members, and that is the
Democratic nomination for the vice
presidency of the United States. In
selecting you for this high honor the
Democratic national convention was
not unmindful of the fact that the
office of vice president has so gained
in authority and national Importance
that he who is chosen for that ex-
alted position must possess every quail
ification, moral and intellectual, that
fits man to become the chief magis-
trate of his people.
These qualifications you were found
to possess in a pre-eminent degree.
Before you accept this nomination
and go forth thrice armed with truth
to overcome your foes you will pardon
us If we briefly present the Demo-
cratic cause that you purpose to sus-
tain before the jury of your country.
UnfalthfuI TO Trust
You will be able to show that the
Republican party has been unfaithful
to its trust, that it has violated the
most solemn commandments of the
political decalogue: that its use to the
people has not only been impaired. but
materially destroyed by permitting its
energies to become absorbed in the
artificial life of the corporate creatures
OF their laws, and that at this time
we must either make a complete sur
render to corporate misrule or redeem.
once and for all, the heirlooms OF our
nation from the corporation pawnshop
in which they have been hypothecated

W0OER FILES SUIT TO GET
DIAMONDS
Comes to Los Angeles and Meets With
Cool Reception-Now Says Lady,
love Is Trying to Keep
VaIuables

j. r. Henry, representative of large
wholesale house in the east, reached
Los Angeles within the past week,
visions of a blissful greeting in his
mind, only to receive the coolest kind
of welcome when he met his lady
love. Not only this. but the young
woman refused to return $500 worth
of gifts bestowed upon her by Henry
in the days when everything was
bright and they walked together to
the measure of love song.
The young woman is Miss Velma
Barge, who came to Los Angeles sew
cral weeks ago from Atlanta, Ca, to
pay a visit to her sister, Mrs. r, l..
Cannon, 958 Orange street. When she
said good by to Henry the future of
the pair seemed to hold nothing but
happiness, but Miss Barge says she
has learned some things concerning
her lover which are not to his credit,
and after the first meeting requested
him politely but firmly to cease pay
ing her further attentions. Henry
persisted, but Miss Barges attitude
was such that he finally gave up his
efforts, not, however, before asking
her to return the gifts he had made
her during their two-year engagement.
Miss Barge as firmly refused this as
she had his attentions, and Henry yes
terday filed suit against the young
woman, which she claims is for the
purpose of harassing her.
In his suit Henry asks for the re-
covery of q solitaire diamond ring, a
ring set with three diamonds, another
with two diamonds, a pair of diamond
earrings, a fancy brooch, bracelet
and a chain and cross, all of which he
values at s700.
Mis- Barge says she has offered to
return the jewelry time and again. but
Henry, believing his star still In the
ascendant, has refused. When he made
his last call and demanded the trinkets
she refused to give them up. Miss
Barge SAYS she has learned several
things concerning Henry's habits since
she reached Los Angeles which makes
the marriage impossible.
