The Democratic national convention

amid scenes of stirring animation.
The vast amphitheater was packed
with $4,000 people, an ever-moving, in
tense and expectant throng, moved by
patriotic airs and stirred into tumul-

hall. 1t was just 1920 when Chair

Bishop J. ]. Keane of Cheyenne, Wyo.,
pronounced the opening invocation, an
impressive plea for divine grace on
the conventions deliberations The
convention promptly perfected the
preliminary organization, electing
Theodore A. Bell of California as tenn

of the temporary presiding officer
started the echoes. The session ad-

and for the purpose of seconding the
resolution, the chair recognized En-
Gov David r. Francis of Missouri, who
spoke briefly in eulogy of Mr.. Cleve-

Parker took the platform and said he

Nebraska Given Choice Place.
Nebraska, as befitted it's prominence
in the convention proceedings, was
placed directly in front of the speak

and on its right Indiana. Immediate
ly behind Nebraska was the state
which either negatively or positively
was destined to weigh heavily in the
outcome-New York. Georgia, that
nest Of Bryans opponents, who have
from the first longed for an opposition
standard, was close behind New York,
and somewhat to it's left Down the
center aisle behind Nebraska, came
Oklahoma and Michigan, and across
from them and in the rear of Indiana
were Kentucky and Pennsylvania. Col
orado was properly placed for a con-
vention host, being far off to the left
where the seeing was poor and the
hearing no better With the Golden
state along the outer edge, were Mis-
sissippi, Wisconsin and Idaho. Min
nesota was less advantageously placed
than Nebraska, the Johnson boomers
being located far in the rear of the
left center of the group of states.
The Gray men from Delaware were on
the left of New York with their friends
from New Jersey, who Tuesday an
nounced their intention to fight for
Gray when the presidential struggle is
on, close by them.

THE CENTRAL LIFE
Assurance Society
The New Standard Policies Every Feature Guaranteed
Read what the late Grover Cleveland said

The policyholder cannot be dis
appointed by estimates, for every
feature is guaranteed.
The annual dividend policies and
the deferred dividend policies alike
furnish cause for doubt and both
often lead to disappointment in the
final results. Purchasers Of insur-
ance are very rapidly coming to the
opinion that life insurance policy
should as definitely state the
amount to be paid by the company
in settlement of the policy as it does
the amount of premium to be paid
by the insured. Experience has
demonstrated the advantage OF def
mite, guaranteed policies. The de-
mand of the public is the largest
amount Of insurance, the clearest
guarantees, the most liberal privi-
lcges and the most perfect security
for the premiums paid. All of the
above are found in the Standard
Policies issued by the Central Life.
The State Of Iowa holds on de-
post approved securities equal to
the guarantees on all policies in
force whether written in Iowa or
other states.
The securities of the Central Life
are first mortgages on good farms
and the value of the property as
shown by the sworn appraisements
is three times the total amount
loaned thereon. During the entire
history Of the company there has
never been a default in the pay
ment Of interest on a single loan or
the foreclosure of a single mort
gage. The panic has been met and
passed without the shrinkage of a
dollar in the assets Of the company
but very handsome gain. The

but to discharge a duty Imperative
ly suggested by intelligent fore
sight and wise precaution.''
A further statement was made
by Mr.. Cleveland not long ago.
He said in an interview:
"When l was young man l took
out two policies for my mother.
One was for 81, 500 and the other
for $4,000. | have held on to them
all these years and am still paying
premiums on them. | am going to
hold on to them. That is the thing
for everybody with somebody de-
pendent on him. Get policy and
then hold on TO it. 1t means self
respect: it means that nobody will
have to put something in a hat for
you or your dependent ones if you
should be snatched away from them.
Nobody who liked you living will
be called on to do anything for you
or yours with i'll grace and grudg-
ing heart.
What was good FOR Mr.. Cleve-
land is certainly all right for you.
Before retiring tonight ask your
self this question:

ing, is my family provided for?
If not, make application for a

ity Of HoteI-Rites Are Extremely
Simple.

London, July 8.-Mme Anna Gould
and Prince Helie de Sagan were mar
ried at registry office in Henrietta
street, off COvent Garden, Tuesday. A
subsequent ceremony was conducted
at the French Protestant church on
Soho square.
There was absolutely no secrecy
about the wedding. Prince Helie an
nounced to representatives of the
American and French newspapers
that all difficulties having been over
come and arrangements having been
completed, the marriage ceremony
would occur Immediately upon the
opening of the registry office in Hen
rietta street. Notwithstanding this,
the prince and Nine. Gould made a de-
termined effort to escape the crowd.
They had large motor car waiting at
the main entrance of the hotel all the
morning. When the hour for them to
leave arrived, however, the couple, &C.
companied by three friends, left the
hotel by a rear entrance, and, enter
ing ordinary cabs, drove to the back
entrance of the registry office.
Civil Ceremony Simple.
The civil ceremony was simple. Out
side of Prince Helie, Nine Gould, the
witnesses and the officials, no one was
present. A great crowd, consisting
largely of porters from the Covent
Garden market, and employees of the
publishing houses in the vicinity, as
sembled in the street outside Prince
Helie produced a copy of the notice
filed with the registrar, establishing
his two weeks residence in the dis
trict, and the registrar granted his
license.
Nine Gould and the prince signed
the register, describing themselves as
had been done in the banns, pub
lished in Paris. Armed with the reg
istrar's certificate the party, again
leaving the building by the back door,
drove in cabs to the French Protestant
church, hidden away in corner Of
Soho square. The cabmen misunder-
stood their instructions and stopped
in front of St. Patrick's Roman Catho-
lie church, which also faces Soho
square, and the entire party had alight-
ed before the mistake was discovered.
Difficulties to the End.
New directions were then given, and
the cabs drove over to the French
Protestant church. The entrance to
this church was blocked by trucks,
and Nine. Gould and the prince had to
make their way through maze Of
traffic.
The party passed into the church
unnoticed. They were followed by
only a half dozen reporters and few
poorly dressed parishioners. They
were escorted to the vestry, and the
PASTOR Rev. l.. de Gremont, carefully
read the document brought from the
registry Office. Having satisfied him.
self of it's correctness, he escorted the
couple to the altar, while Nine Ran
cite, a daughter of the assistant pas
tor of the church, played the hymn
abide with Me" on the organ.
The ceremony was quite in keeping
with the simple character of the
church, but it was rather long. While
it was proceeding several photog-
raphers who had come in with the
party took snap shots of the couple as
they stood at the altar.

Chairman Taggart requested that
there be no smoking in the hall. The
announcement was greeted with ap-
plause. The secretary read a list of
persons for whom kilograms had been
received. Among the names were
those of Col. James N. Guffey, Alton
B. Parker and Gov. Haskell of Okla
homa. The mention Of each was
signal for applause from different Sec
lions of the auditorium. An instant
shout of applause greeted the words
of the chairman, and as the temporary
chairman advanced to the front to de-
liver his address the cheers were re-
doubled. Mr.. Bell is about five feet
ten inches in height, slender, clean
shaven, brown eyed and brown haired.
He was CARRIED in the conventional
