CONVENTION HALL, DENVER.
Colo, July S-With the assurance OF
another perfect day and the promise
of an interesting fight over the re-
port of the committee on credentials
which Guffey and his PENNSYLVANIA
friends are expected to contest, the
convention crowd commenced early
to move toward the convention hall.
Parade by Tammany.
All, however. were impeded by a
great parade of Tammany men from
New York who wound their way
around the business section OF the
city. About thousand men were In
line. 1t was by far the largest pa
rade which has so far taken place
during the convention.
Bryanites Cheerful.
The Bryan men came tramping In
to the auditorium with cheerful faces.
The events OF the night and early
morning in the committee of creden-
tials were much to their liking and
they were more confident of ultimate
success for their candidate.
Guffcy Is Cheered
During all the time the delegates
were finding seats band kept up a
continuous stream of music.
Among the early arrivals were Rep
resentative Harry B. Clayton, of Ala
hama. who will be uamed by the or
ganization committee as permanent
chairman of the convention.
Temporary Chairman Bell reached
the rostrum Just before noon and was
cheered.
Col. Guffey, of Pennsylvania, was
cheered when he walked down the
aisle to his place in the Pennsylvania
delegation. He was soon surrounded
by his friends who apparently wanted
to know what plan Of action had been
decided upon by him.
Convention Called to Order.
1t was 1925 when Chairman Bell
began to rap for order. He intro
duced the Rev. Mr.. ,Reisner; who de-
llivered prayer. After the prayer 0
procession of marching clubs passed
| through the hall and there was great
cheering. 4

CONVENTION HALL, DENVER
Colo, July s-The Democratic ma
tional convention held brief session
today but will meet again tonight
when stirring scenes and highly color
ed incidents are expected. Delay was
necessary by the inability of the COM
mittee on credentials to have its re-
port ready for the convention. The
resolutions committee. TOO, is max
ing slow progress and 1t being certain
that delay must come for some time
1t was decided 1t should take place
today.
The chief interest OF the day is
conferred around the action Of the
credentials committee in declaring
against Col. ,Guffey OF Pennsylvania,
and preparations are being nyde by
him to organize his forces for bat
tie in the convention.
New York Shows Colors
In this fight New York for the first
time gave an indication of where its
colors will fly, 1t having in company
with thirteen other states signed the
minority credentials report which will
be reported to the convention. The
aggregate voting strengthg.of these
states is 376 but that figure is not an
exact statement of the votes Guffey
will be able to call to his side as not
all of them are acting under the unit
rule.

HOME FOR FEEBLE MINDED.
Winthrop Has Good Location for Such
An Institution.

Il have doneoa1lrI could to have the
home for Feeble Minded, which the
State is soon to establish in some place
in Maine, located in. this town." said
Ex- Selectman E. w. Macomber some
it will be or not"
A recent visit of Councilman Thurs
ton s. Burns Of Westbrook to this
place has set the people to thinking
again and as one or two pieces of
property have been called to the at
tention of the committee having the
matter in charge, it is not yet thought
that WinthroD's chances are entirely
gone for the establishment of such a
home here.
1T is at this time that we ought to
have a Board Of Trade with good,
live man at it's head, so that the pro-
position would have at least a little
support locally" said a business man
in talking on the subject the other
day. 1.-The help it would be locally in
one way and another is worth the eff
fort, it seems to me-"
1.-THE estate on Sturtevant Hill
known as the Sturtevant place is one
OF the places mentlOneO, l understand,
and it seems to me that if it could be
purchased at a fair price, the State
would make no mistake in locating
this new institution at that section of
the town. 1t is on high elevation, two
miles from the village, the land is
easily cultivated and it seems to me
would make an ideal home for those
unfortunate people who are to be aid
ed by the State" The above is, III
substance, the expression of several
people of the town.

source man may drink. just above
this, on a standard, is inscribed the
following: "In Memory Of Joseph Tur-
