Hearst Party Adds
Seventh Candidate

CHICAGO, July 2S-The seventh
presidential ticket to be placed in
the field this year will be named
at the independence party nation
al convention, July q and 20. Its
predecessors are the populist. So
cialist, republican, democratic,
prohibition and socialist labor
party tickets.
The independence party is the
Hearst party. the national form of
the independence league, which
has cut more or less of a figure in
politics in various sections of the
country. VIM. r. Hearst Is the
patron saint of the new party, as
he has been of the league. His
platform calls for a party to be
free from machine control, with
candidates chosen by direct NOM
nation and therefore fairly repre-
sentative of the people, and the
elimination of trust influence from
the government.
Leaders in the movement have
been busy nearly a year preparing
AOl thC CdlhPdiSh. hCy ndu lOCdi
organizations and the problem was
to extend them over the country.
This, it is claimed, has been done
with the result that there is COM
mittee in charge of the party's in
terests in every one Of the 46
states. The independents expect
their convention to be representa-.
tive of all sections, even If the
attendance isn't as large as at
some similar functions held this
year.
The sessions will be held in Or
chestra hall. 1t has been lavishly
decorated with flags and bunting,
and large brass band, the men,
bers of which are men of art and
endurance, has been engaged to fill
the hall with melody.
A meeting of the national COM
mittee will be held just before the
convention to frame up a working
program. The second days ses-
sion will be devoted to the nomina-
ton Of candidates and the adoption
of a platform. Then there will be
the selection of new national
committee and the appointment of
committees to notify the candi-
dates that they have been en-
tered in the race against Taft and
Bryan. ,

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 2S.---We
were 5000 feet in the air.
The heavy dusk Of the evening
that was settling down over the
Mississippi lowlands was rendered
doubly deep BY light cloud that
surrounded us.
Up in the north, whence we had
flown. lay a heavy black cloud,
high in the sky. At the other end
of the basket stood Capt. A. E.
Mueller, our pilot, facing south and
watching our progress. looked at
the stars and then at the distant
black cloud.
Suddenly a tiny light twinkled
against the blackness. then faded

But you watch behind and III

We were in balloon race; we
were not ballooning for the simple
pleasure. II was grim contest,
and it was my first ascension.
The yachtsman goes the limit to
win, but not al the risk of life;
the auto drivers put all the speed
they can into their machines, but
an accident does not mean death.
The balloon racer goes the limit,
with the same desperation But
what danger he runs is not the
halfway sort that faces the yachts
man or the auto driver. Nothing
less than death faces the balloon
pilot, IT, in his sky race, he meets
with misfortune.
An instance of the desperation OF
the balloon racer-a type of sports
man that has sprung up only in the
last four years-occurred when,
the gas beginning to fail, our bal
loon still sank in the direction OF
a great forest. until the 200-pound
drag rope caught in the branches.
The sand was all gone and Capt.
Mueller after hesitating only mo-
mcnt. unfastened the drag rope
from the balloon ring and allowed
II 20 crash onto the trees. He

didn't want to be held to earth by
the rope, and was willing to take
the desperate chance of shooting
into the air to great height, with
no ballast to tighten the fall, which
he knew must ensue. This was a
resource upon which a pleasure
balloonist would never, for the
sake of his life, have fallen.
The balloon shot into the air, all
right. II went to an altitude of
5000 feet so rapidly that the rush
of air drove much of the gas from
the neck of the balloon, at the bot
tom. Mueller started to climb into
the ropes to close the neck of the
balloon, but, upon reflection, feared
that the tremendous pressure
might break the bag. l was glad
, that he so decided. though the
escaping gas came down on our
basket in an unpleasant manner.
remembered, too, 10 patches which
we had placed or the bag during
the morning at the Aero park.
1t was after this last leap into
the air, 5000 feet high and about
Is miles long, that brought us our
hair-lifting experience. Then it
was we began to fall at a terrific
speed.
Capt. Mueller told me to keep my
eyes on the watch-like face of the
aneroid barometer, which hung
from the ropes over the basket.
The hand pointed to 5000 feet. At
that altitude paper envelopes, used
for sending newspaper messages,

Ter began using them as ballast,

Shortly they began to futter about
the balloon. At 5000 feet they
seemed to dart upward into the air
when they were thrown out. Capt
Mueller, still cool, came upon a
five-pound bag Of salt in the ham
per. He ripped it open and emp
tied It slowly. The salt fell upon
my head and mis-. We were falling
faster than it was.
In the minute between 1000 and
5000 feet were read, Capt. Mueller

ments, fruit, bread, shoes, a pair
of trousers, pair of overalls end

FARMERS VOTE
FOR BRYAN.

William GOODYEAR, the Colfax
editor who SO far has the field in
the democratic race for the con-
gressional nomination in the
Third district, is not saying much
about his own chances just now,
although the indications are that
he has not hibernated for the cam
paign. He returned home this
morning after conference with
party leaders here. In commenting
on the political situation Mr.. Good
year said:
II have not made any estimates
OF my chances of success should
receive the nomination, but am
satisfied that eastern Washington
can be carried for Bryan by a good
sized majority. II he receives as
strong support from the laboring
men Of the big cities as he will
from the farmers of Whitman
county he will carry the state.
II note with much qualification
the hearty endorsement which sew
eral of the republican aspirants for
the congressional nomination are
giving to the reform planks which
were overwhelmingly rejected by
their national convention, but were
unanimously adopted by ours. 1t
proves conclusively that they
realize that reforms are popular
with the people of this section.
81 do not expect to begin actual
camnaipn work until aftor tho
primaries, but will then devote my
entire time and energy to canvass
