START AND WINS.

Joseph p. Tracy, who was the can
didate Of the Michigan Prohibitionists
for the presidential nomination. re
turned Friday from the national con
vention In Columbus. Despite the
fact that he did not get the nomina'
tion, Mr.. Tracy Is full OF enthusiasm
for the ticket and confidence In the
ultimate success OF the cause.
Ii Is peculiar coincidence that Eu.
gene W. Chain, OF Chicago nominal
ed for president, is close friend OF
Mr. Tracy and was here recently to
discuss party matters, and incidental.
ly Tracys prospects. Chafin was not
then a candidate for the nomination
but was brought In later. the Tracy
men swinging to him on the third bal
lot and cinching his nomination.
While here, Chain spoke in meet
ing In the Y. NJ c. A. He is law
yer and went from Wisconsin TO Chi
cago some years ago. engaging &C.
lively In the Prohibition cause In the
big city. He is also candidate for
governor Of Illinois but will resign
that honor to another.
Il feel, to quote David, like a bird
released from the snare Of the TOW.
ler," said Mr. Tracy. while I do
not care TO predict anything as to the
figure the Prohibition party will cut
In the election. will say that 1t will
shake up some dead bones.
Every American citizen should
read our platform whether he believes
in the prohibition Of liquor selling or
not. II Is a fine document. Our can
didates are both fine campaigners and
have not waited for the selection Of u
campaign manager to get to work.
They will be heard from before Nov
ember comes In every part of the
land"
Mr.. Tracy states positively that he
will not consider any proposal to nom
mate him for governor or mayor.

in the south.

light Mr.. Bryan announced receipt of
the telegram from w. II. Dunphy, o
Democratic leader Of that city, con-
tanning the news.
One million dollars is the mark
which Mr.. Bryan's advisers have set
as the amount needed to make the
campaign right.
Mr.. Bryan declined to comment on
the campaign fund problem, saying
he did not care to anticipate what
hes would do.

The astute friends OF Bryan In his
home town are hopeful that the selec-
ton will fall upon business man OF
prominence nationally. rather than a
politician.
Such a man they assert would add
prestige to the Democratic campaign.
They point out that Bryan's previous
campaign managers have been poliu-
clans who acted signally In their ef-
forts to the presidential prize.
Mr.. Bryan was lounging about his
Fairview home, today. The intense
heat of the past few days has COMPEL
ed him to refrain almost entirely from
his labors OF answering correspond
ence, also forbidding any attention to
the preparation Of his letter and

WILLIAM THOMPSON
IS SHOT IN WRIST

William Thomrson, formerly con.
ductor on the Florence and Cripple
Greek railroad, but who since sever
ing his connection with that line
has been down to Old Mexico, was
shot through the right wrist this
morning while travelling on the
Santa Fe train between La Junta
and Trinidad. The wound is OF
such nature that 1t will not prove
serious, and it will not inconven-
fence the injured man. to any extent
very long.
He met with the accident in very
peculiar manner. He had gone into
the toilet room at the rear end of the
coach and had dropped down the lid
on the vessel. but revolver which
was between the lid and the wall Of
the car fell onto the floor and ex.
ploded, the bullet striking the occu-
pant Of the toilet room in the right
wrist, the ball passing through
that member. Just how the revolt
YER came to be left in such a place
is not known, but it is supposed
that it might have dropped from
the clothing of former occupant.
The bullet was of large caliber and
an ugly flesh wound was made while
plowing through Thompson wrist.
According to the dispatch receiv-
ed by The Tribune of the affair, it
seems that Thompson was enroute to
California but it develops that the
author of the dispatch was in error as
the railroad man was returning to his
home in this city from Indian Terri
tory where he had been for the last
week or two. Mrs. Thompson lives
in the Will Salmon house on East
Fifth street and was expecting her
husband home in day or two. and,
II lie was coming directly to Flor
