proprietors to the doors and telling
them they must lower their prices at

that they were not responsible. that
Ii was the wholesalers who had fore

The dealers were told by the wor
men that the condition of affairs
brought about by the avarice of the
big meat men would no longer be
countenanced and that If the dealers
wished to act with the people they
would close up their shops at once
and refuse to buy meats at the exor-
bitant prices they were made to pay.

BREAKS ALL FLOOD
RECORDS At OMAHA

OMAHA, Neb., June 24.-The Mis-
souri, river at Omaha shows the high
est stage In 27 years. The stage as
officially reported by the weather bu-
reau this morning Is 1873 feet, but
an unofficial reading at O'Clock this
afternoon showed a stage of 1872
feet and still rising slowly. The
weather bureau expected the maxi
mum would be reached several days
ago, but continued rains In Mime
sofa and the Dakotas and in the re-
glon of the headwaters of the stream
have augmented the rising condi-
tons.
The first serious damage was done
today when several farms north of
the city and the plant of the National
White Lead Co. at East Omaha were
partially inundated. No relief is ex-
pected for SO hours, and with a con-
tinued rise for that length of time
conditions will become serious.

RENO. June 24.-"No stronger

where he had been in attendance a.
the sessions of the national commit,

THE convention was full of inter

cally settled early in the game that
Taft was to be the nominee, but
there was much speculation regard

looked like Fairbanks. but his with
drawal took him out of considera-
tion. John Hays Hammond was Wig
orously doomed for a while.
A SILENT LEADER.
Sherman is one of the strong men
of the party. For 20 years he has
been one of the silent leaders of con-
gress, and has a magnificent training
for any executive position. He L.
an able politician in the largest sense
and his following in New York b,
probably stronger than any other
mans, with the possible exception Of
Governor Hughes. His name being
on the ticket insures New York's
ELECTORAL vote for the Republican
party.
THE STRONGEST MEN.

DEMOCRATS GATHERING
URGE JOHNSON FOR
THE SECOND PLACE

DENVER. June 24.-Even among
the few Democrats of prominence
who have come to Denver to attend
the Democratic convention, which
will be held in this city beginning two
weeks from today. the choice of a
candidate for vice president is the
leading theme and IL Is already evil
dent that In this respect at least the
convention will be counterpart of
the Republican convention at Chi
cago. AS a choice among candidates,
Governor Johnson has a decided
lead. Little attention is paid to the
announcement that he is not can
didate and would not accept. Those
who favor him say that while he has
been successful In Minnesota. he has
not won such a place In his party that
he could AFFORD to decline nomina-
tion for second place on a Democratic
national ticket.
CANNOT BACK DOWN.
They contend that he Is the one
available man who would properly
supplement Mr.. Bryan's candidacy;
say he has been put forward as a
candidate for the presidency by the
eastern Democrats: urge that those
Democrats would support him just
as strenuously for vice president. and
declare they must have him"
This favoritism toward the Min
nesotan for second place does not con-
template the possibility OF Mr.. Dry
ans failure, but even in the face OF
instructions there are some who con-
tend that the Nebraskan cannot win
on the first ballot. and that there
fore the Minnesotan has fighting
chance. This contention is evidently
made, however. I'm the hope that
there may be contest worthy of the
name and by those who would like
to see the convention prolonged. The
friends of Governor Johnson say that,
regardless of the prospects, their can
didate will be placed in nomination
for the first position. and as rule
they refuse to discuss the possibil-
ity of his being named for vice presi-
dent
