It is believed here that the position
Senator Foraker will occupy during
the campaign must be determined ut
Cincinnati. The first engagement he
has to speak in that city or Septem-
Der %, when he is scheduled to in
troduce Taft to the national league
Of Republican clubs.
John Hays Hammond. who has
charge of that meeting, is enroute to
Cincinnati and therefore could not be
seen. It has been suggested that he
will ask Senator Foraker to with
draw, in view OF the charges made
by Mr.. Hearst but nothing is known
here of such intention. +
Governor Hughes came to New York
today and had conferences with Chair
man Hitchcock, several representa-
tives Of the New York state and with
Chairman Parsons, OF the New York
county committee. His talk with MI.
Hitchcock resulted in giving the ma
tional chairman a promise to assist in
the western and middle western cam
Dpaigns.
It was arranged that Governor
Hughes shall speak in Indiana, Ohio
and West Virginia on September &c.
20 and 80, returning to New York for
the meeting at Camp Taft on October
!. After October 4, Governor Hughes
will spend all the remainder Of that
week speaking in New York state, but
he will give the national committee q

but three positions but two written
ballots were taken, being for clerk OF
the court and for county clerk. The
delegates seemed to think themselves
fortunate In having one candidate to
nominate for most Of the other offices
and in some Instances an available
man was found only after several had
refused the nomination.
After the convention adjourned the
delegates swnarmed around County
Commissioner Burla and urged him to
make the race against +. B. Connolly,
the republican nominee tor reprcsen-
tatiye, but Mr.. Burla remained stead
fast to his declaration that he wanted
no political Office, though he appre-
ciated the honor bestowed upon him.
Convention Proceedings.
The convention was delayed in
starting and it was 2:15 o'clock before
Chairman Johnston called the dele
gates to order. Even then he had to
send out into the hallway and ask the
delegates to attend.
The committee on resolutions and
platform, which had met in the morn
ling in the office of w. M. Johnston,
was ready with It's report, which "a
read by Secretary Firth. With the ex-
ception Of slight applause and nand
clapping at the first mention OF
organs name, the platform created no
enthusiasm. It pledges allegience to
Bryan and Kern, declares for qhe
ELECTION OF United States senators by
ldirect vote and urges the adoption OF
la law similar to the Oregon primary
law, commends the administration of
Sheriff Herford and eulogizes the late
Sheriff Webb, pledging the democratic
candidate II elected to carry out the
policies i~naugurated by Mr.. Webb.
Immediately following the reading
of the platform the convention pro-
ceeded to the selection OF a ticket.

NEW ORLEANS GOES
 OUT FOR BUSINESS

New Orleans, August 29.-(Specia1)- The city of New Orleans seems to be very much awake to the fact that this fall is going to be an unusually pros porous one from a commercial stand point, and is already actively reach ing out to attract people to her hospitable doors.
 1 Under the auspices of the New Or leans Progressive union, the manufac- turers of that city are holding an ex- hibition where nearly everything man. ufactured in that city will be shown In an exhibition lasting the entire month of September; special page advertise ment of which appears in this issue. The Progressive union, which Is at the head of this enterprise, Is the larg est civic organization In the southern states, and has. during the last few years, been very active in promoting that city's welfare by advertising its resources and helping its merchants in every way to fight its industrial and l com mercial battles.
 1 The merchants of the city, also, are using every effort to cooperate with | that body, each merchant, after his own fashion getting up some special at-

 1 One very prominent music house has arranged an exhibition of high art mus | ical instruments through the different manufacturers they represent, and is going to keep "open house" during the entire month-giving free recitals day and night. This feature in itself is attracting very wide and favorable comment Others are arranging special i exh ibits and some making preparations to show their plants in operation to 1 their visiting customers. On the whole, there seems to be a 1 general spirit of awakening as well as CO., operation among the commercial in { terests of that wh ole city, looking to- ward corralling as large a volume of business as the south's metropolis is I usually accustomed to. Other of the south's cities and merchants might well 1 afford to emulate this spirit.

night, leaving just enough fuel to get the machine well under way before the loss Is discovered. Again it is In Paris that one hears all about the watered and dirty gasoline that is sold in Italy, and which, bad as it is costs all sorts of prices, sometimes reaching as high as dollar and quarter a gallon. The dirty gasoline, which even the strain ing through chamoise will not clarify, is one of the principal causes for engine trouble in Italy. It is on these foreign trips that the American becomes patri- otic and longs for the clean gasoline produced by the much abused Standard oil company. The matter of gasoline Is the most serious financial proposl- tion with which automobilists abroad have to contend.
 In France it is only half dollar or so a gallon but even at that rate the fuel runs up at an alarming pace. In both France and Italy the peasants con- fine themselves to lawfully fleecing the pleasure-seekers who whizz along the perfect roads. The Italians especially,
