OFF FOR DENVER
Hon. Ben. T. Cable Delegate
From This District to DEM
ocratic Convention.
GaYN0R FOR SECOND PLACE
Says New York Justice Looks Good,
But There Are Good
Ones Too.

Hon. Ben T. Cable, delegate from
this district to the democratic national
convention, leaves tonight for Denver.
Having just returned from New York.
Mr.. Cable, in discussing the situation,
stated that the present outlook is very
favorable to the nomination of SUI
preme Court Justice William j. Gay
nor of New York for vice president.
He is eminently. qualified for the
place" Mr.. Cable said. land would
be great element of strength In New
York state. Furthermore, l am in
formed that he meets with great favor
with Mr.. Bryan. There are several
strong candidates for the vice presi-
dency in the field, and it may be that
|, one of these will be chosen. Judge
Gray, Governor Johnson or Lieutenant
Governor Chanler of New York would
any of them make splendid and
ideal candidate
Does Not Think johnson Would Accept.
Speaking of the boom that has been
started with Bryan's endorsement for
Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland for
chairman of the democratic national
committee, Mr.. Cable said. Il was with
Mr.. Johnson in Chicago yesterday and
+, l do not think there is the least hope
of inducing him to accept. The sim
pie reason is that there is no office
in the gift of the people, not except
f., ing as 1 verify believe, the presidency,
that could tempt him from the work
he has in hand in Cleveland He has
undertaken a. great task there, and he
I is succeeding in making Cleveland
the model city of America. Until this
| is done he will not relinquish his
task. L hardly think therefore that
he could be prevailed to take up other
| responsibilities. The proposition
would have to be presented to him in
the, strong:alight of a. duty that he
could not overlook to make him change
his mind
Cornelius Donovan and George P
Stauduhar, ushers in the convention
are enroute to Denver while Hon
William McEniry, reading clerk, is al
ready there.

the police promptly arrested offenders
violating the restrictions placed by
Mayor Schaffer relative to use of re-
voivers and dangerous explosives. Be
fore O'Clock Detective Cox took the
first offender in hand, arresting a Mo-
line youth who was firing a revolver
on Nineteenth street. The young
mans revolver was confiscated by the
police, and he gave security TO appear
for a hearing before Magistrate FL
lott Monday. The two detectives,
Tkcmas Cox and Thomas Gordon, were
busy about .he streets all evening,
curbing the enthusiasm of the young
men, and escorting to the station about
a dozen who were violating the regu-
lations. At the police headquarters
| the weapons of those arrested were
confiscated. and they were required to
give security for their appearance for
hearing before the magistrate.
! Big Picnic Held.
| The chief celebration of the day in
this city was the picnic at Ericsson
park, north of Augustana college, ul-
der the auspices of the mems society
of the Zion Lutheran church The
morning exercises were held at 1920,
Congressman James Mckinney of
Aledo being the principal speaker.
Congressman Mckinney, i'll discuss
ing the island possessions of the
United States, maintained that, "Un
It'll native government can be formed
THAT will be stable and will guarantee
law and order throughout the islands
the United States should not change
its attitude toward the Philippines.
Continuing he said, 1--WE owe duty
to the natives who have come under
our protection by the fortunes of war
4 We also owe something to the gallan
men and women who nave followe,
the flag to the far east and in tn
professions, in the bushes
4 World, are doing what they can t.
give our civilization to the islands"
Thus the Sngressman summarize
his observations, and conclusions a
TO the situation, political, commercial
and moral, in the Philippines. Tn
congressman specially studied the si
uation on his recent trip TO the fa
east and he presented to his audienc
many of the conclusions he draw
from his experiences, which he r,
lated at recent meeting of the TT
City Press club at which he was

the opinion that war is improbabl

preventing war with the OrieN.
H He said, "The far east willv>e IL

The race had been scheduled to COM
mence at IL o'clock yesterday but was
postponed until 1: AS in the afternoon.
The Sparks II arrived at this end of
the course about 5. o'clock and the
Sparks | was about quarter of an
hour behind its big twin. The Wv
lane. a Keokuk boat, was the only
other boat entered in the race and it
was about three quarters of an hour
behind the second boat. The winner
finished at Muscatine' at 1909, the
Sparks l at 1880 and the viyiane at
1927.
The race. at this end was not very
interesting because the boats were so
far apart If there had been more
cruisers entered it would have helped
some but as it was most of the watch
ers who went down the river to see
| the race were disappointed in it al
though they should have expected
nothing else in such a long race.
OF All Descriptions.
Muscatine harbor is filled with boats
of every description today. There are
speed boats galore and along side of

the novelty race in the belief that they
are the slowest boats on the river.
There are huge pleasure cruisers and
| fast cruisers of all kinds. 1t is a very
interesting sight and the river bank is
filled with sight-seers.
