election that Livernash and Wynn
were elected as union labor congress-
men from San Francisco. They &C
cused Bell of being a friend of plutoc
racy, especially that section of plutoc-
racy embraced in E. H. Harriman's
Southern Pacific Railroad Company
Because Bell advocated a mail sub
sidy that probably would have been
paid to the Pacific Mail steamers, Liv-
ernash rose one day and accused him
of misrepresenting the people of his
section of the state, the implication
being that Bell was more particularly
the representative of the Hartman in
terests than of the people of Cali
fornia. Mr. Bell was a candidate for
reelection to congress and was de-
feated by Duncan Mckinley.
In 1906 Mr. Bell was the Democratic
candidate for governor of California,
James ~ Gillett of the Republicans,
Lewis of the Socialists and w. H

league. The vote: Bell, 1880 Gill

plurality But for Langdon's can
didacy, Bell would have been elected.

Lecture Campaign of Farmers Union.
Arrangements for the educational
campaign in Arkansas to be made dur
ing the month of July by the Arkansas
Farmers Union we're made at meet
ing Wednesday in the Senate chamber
of the state house by the Executive
Committee of the union and Ben l..
Griffin of Conway, state secretary of
the union. The principae topic dis
cussed was the nature of the instruc-
lions to be given to the lecturers who
will stump the state in the interest of
Farmers Union work and the union
movement.
The lecturers will be directed to
speak on the history of the union
movement, what it has accomplished
and what is to be accomplished in the
future. One of the things that will be
touched upon will be the movement to
sympathize the storage and sale of I'M
ion cotton now held in various ware
houses throughout the state. 1t is the
intention to organize the union ware
house owners into an Arkansas Farm
ers' Union Cotton Company, similar
to the one in Tennessee, and to han
die the union cotton through that COM
pany, which would have central mar
ket, in turn, would deal directly
through another Eastern central mar
ket, probably the Memphis Union Cot
ton Company. The work of warehous-
ing, selling and moving the cotton
would then be simplified and placed on
a systematic basis.
The Arkansas Farmers Union will
have a battery of about Is speakers in
this state during the campaign. These
speakers are divided into two classes,
known as the regulars" and extras"
In case one of the regular" speakers
is unable to fill an appointment one
of the extras" will take his place.
The state, during the campaign, for
the sake of convenience, will be divid-
ed into eight districts. Most of the ap-
pointments in each district have al
ready been made.
Among the speakers will be: 1. A.
Brooks of Atwood, Tenn, secretary of
the Tennessee organization; National
Vice President J. E. Montgomery, also
of Tennessee; John F. Inclusion, Jack
son county; c. r. hurry, Nashville;
Luther Martin, Des Arc; H. S. Mobly,
Prairie Grove; R. B. Smell, Stevens; H.
B. Lewis, Monroe county; NJ. A. Cobitt,
Lonoke county.
The campaign, which extends from
July to July 81, will be in charge of
a lecture bureau of the union which
will direct speakers and fill all ap-
pointments.
All members of the Executive Com
mittee of the Arkansas Farmers I'm
ion were present at Wednesdays meet

hanging above the gallery, was sus-
pended a pendant, ten feet in diane
ter, upon which bunting was draped.
Upon these pendants a tiger was
painted The back of the platform
was banked with palms. Twenty
stuffed American eagles, with extend
ed wings, were suspended over the
platform each bird carrying in his
bill red, white and blue silk ribbons
that were draped back to the wall.
Balcony and Galleries Draped.
In the auditorium the balcony ex-
tends all the way around the huge
building, but the galleries are limited
to each end. The front of the balcony
and the fronts of the galleries and
boxes were draped with bunting, $1,000
yards being necessary to complete this
part of the decorative scheme. At
intervals of five feet shields, three feet
high, were placed.
Thousands of yards of bunting
were used in draping the corridors OF
the building and the walls of the bal
cony and galleries. Delegates were
supplied with small American flags
to wave when their feelings reached
a pitch that compelled an eXtraordin-
airy demonstration.
Although the decorations in the
auditorium were elaborate, the street
decorations were even more pictur-
esque, and the illumination scheme
was the.m most brilliant Denver ever at
tempted
Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seven

thoroughfares in the city, were reve

applause was especially generous and
lasting where reference was made to
the record of the party or the leaders
whom Democrats delight to honor.
National Coors Used.
Red, white and blue were the only
colors used in decorating the audi
forum, and the decorations were the
most elaborate ever seen in a Demo
cratic convention. A unique feature
was So huge stars artistically ar
ranged on the ceiling. These stars
represented the states, territories and
insular possessions, the names appear
ing in blue letters ond a white back
ground in the center of each star The
points of the stars were red and white.
Directly over the speakers plat
form, against the wall of the building
near the junction with the ceiling, was
a large shield, 16 feet high, carrying
six flags II feet long draped in arts
tic folds. In addition to this main
shield there were four other shields
over the platform, each ten feet high.
The six flags on these shields were
eight feet long.
Just below the main shield hung a
mammoth portrait of George Washing
ton, IA by 16 feet in dimensions Red,
white and blue bunting was draped
from the sides of the shield to the
bottom Of the portrait of the Father
of His Country"
Directly under the last shield, on
each side of the Washington portrait,
was suspended portrait, one of
Thomas Jefferson and the other of
Andrew Jackson. On each side of
these pictures a large American flag
was draped These flags are 40 by
60 feet in dimensions. Beyond these
pictures, at each end of the wall, and

these streets the poles were draped
with red, white and blue bunting.
Wires were stretched across the street
from these poles and from each wire
two American flags were suspended.
The flags hung over the street and
were weighted" to prevent them from
becoming tangled and torn by the wind.
On Seventeenth street the scheme
was the same, except there were only
six poles to each block, two at each
corner and two at each alley.
At each crossing two wires were
strung diagonally across the intersec-
ton, from which red, white and blue
incandescent lights hung. The bust
ness houses along the three streets
were handsomely decorated with
bunting and flags. Elaborate and cost
ly electric display signs had been
put in place on the buildings, and at
night Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seven
teenth streets were a blaze of light
Electric display signs are one of
the main features of business life in
Denver. Every merchant has an cleo
trio sign, and as all of the streets that
cross the three thoroughfares de-
scribed are live business streets, the
committee on illumination did not find
it necessary to add much in the way
of light to these avenues of trade.
However, the business houses were
handsomely decorated with bunting
and flags, so the entire business sec
ton of Denver was a mass of color
when the big convention opened.
The people of Denver, in addition to
decorating their city and providing a
beautiful and commodious auditorium
for the Democratic national conven-
ton, seemed determined to convince
every visitor that true western hos
pitality is not a thing of the past in
this city. The real Denverite is hos
pitable because hospitality is in the
atmosphere in the wonderful Rocky
mountain country

History of the SUGAR Beet.

The merits of the sugar beet were
discovered gradually. For ages it
was used chiefly as cattle feed Later
the leaves were used as a vegetable,
and the roots were roasted as a sub
stitute for coffee. About the middle
of the eighteenth century German
chemist named Marggrsf found that
the roots contained considerable
proportion of sugar, but it was not
till 1901 that the first beet sugar fac
tory was built, in Silesia, with the aid
of King Frederick William III.

Three Shot In Van Buren, Riot.

er, shot through shoulder.
Carlos Niccolina, Italian strike
breaker shot through right leg and
arm.
This is the casualty list, after pre-
arranged attack upon the bunk cars,
containing 80 Italian strike-breakers,
who were sent to Van Buren, a week
ago by the Iron Mountain to take the
places of the company's striking car
repairers, at 1920 Monday night.
SO far as is known none of the at
lacking party was injured, as it was
very evident the Italians were not
armed, or, if they were, they were too
badly frightened to shoot, and used all
of their energies in getting out of the
cars and out of range.
No arrests have been made, and as
Henderson, the white guard, left for st.
Louis on the midnight train to enter
the company's hospital for treatment,
only a vague idea as to the number
of the attacking party can be formed,
the crowd being estimated from so to
100.
The entire eastern portion of the
city was awakened at 1920 by per-
feet volley of shots. At the first vol
ley those familiar with the bitterness
of the strikers toward the foreigners
concluded that the strike-breakers
were being attacked. Owing to the
fact that the streets in that part of
the city are not lighted, there were
only a few of the citizens who went
in that direction to investigate the
trouble Not a sound could be heard
above the reports of the guns Ap-
parently only enough time for the at
lacking party to reload the guns
elapsed between the first and second
volleys. After the second voIley there
was some desultory firing, for afteY
the first volley the Italians leapea
from the cars in which they were
taking refuge behind and in hundreds
of cars on the tracks in the east yards,
or hiding in the cottonfed and Johnson
grass pasture that practically adjoins
the shops on the east.
Henderson, the white guard, made
his way west along the main line I'M
til he reached the division offices,
where he reported the attack, asked
that he have his wounds dressed and
that he be gwen a ticket to st. Louis.
He expressed the opinion that several
of The Italians had been killed, but
search of the yards and cars resulted
in the finding of only two wounded
men who were given medical atten-
ton.
Less than a dozen of the strike
breakers appeared at the shops Tues
day morning when the o'clock whis-
tie blew. These men had evidently
spent the rest of the night after the
attack in the tall Johnson grass and
ventured out only when they knew
they were assured protection.
1t was felt there Monday when the
two white guards, George HermOn and
Tom Mullary were arrested on what
is believed to have been a trumped-
up charge and held without bail, that
an attack was to be made upon the
Italians, and no surprise was felt when
it was known that they were fired up
on. The negroes, had been
wrought up during the day by the al
legged assault upon Donnie Johnson, a
negress, and they were as bitter to-
ward the imported laborers and their
guards as were the white strikers, and
it is believed that a large portion of
the mob was made up of blacks.
