After a seven hours conference
with W. ]. Bryan and John W. Kern,

for the campaign.
There were others in the race for
chairman besides Mack. Judge D. M.
Wade Of Ohio, T. E. Ryan of Wiscon-

bell of Ohio and Urey Woodson. The
sentiment for Mack, however, steadily
grew, but he was confronted with a
handicap which had to be removed.
The well known opposition Of Murphy
and Connors Of New York toward him
because of his rivalry to Mr.. Connors
for control of Erie county stood in the
way. The long distance telephone was
put into play, and Mr.. Connors, after
the situation had been explained TO
him, declared that he could no longer
interpose any objections, but that Mr.
Murphy's views must be obtained
The Tammany leader gave his approx

cleared, Mr.. Mack was elected by &C
clamation. A. raj
So pleased was Mr.. Bryan by the
selection, that he gave out state

FAIR Was
GRAND SUCCESS
Last Day Was Spoiled By
Heavy Rains. State TfOt-
ting Record Lowered

Fargo, July 25.-Owing to the rain
that visited Fargo and vicinity this
morning, the racing card on the state
fair program for today, was called
off by the fair management at noon.
The track was in a heavy condition
at that time.
The third annual exhibit Of the
North Dakota State fair was practi-
ca1ly brought to a close yesterday
afternoon with the parade that form
ed at the horse and cattle barns and
marched around the track past the
grand stand. The parade was led
by Putnam's band and was followed
by Pres. w. A. Scott, and several of
the other officers of the fair asso-
citation, while behind them came q.
long string of the thoroughbred ami
mails that have been on exhibit for
the past week in the horse and COW
barns.
The mile record for the state of
| North Dakota has been smashed by
| several seconds. The event took place
at the race course at the state fair
grounds yesterday afternoon, when
| Lady Maude c and Argot Boy COM
! peted. for honors. Two heats were
| run and Lady Maude C, owned by
| Walter Palmer, captured both. 7she
4 {tra,n 10 hn ,-ao
ord was held by Bill Bailey, a well
known horse, which captured several
| good sized purses during the week,
and whose time of 200 IA was made
on the same track at the interstate
fair during the meet of 1907. IF the
wind had not been SO strong at the
time that the race was held, the final
result would have been a second and
a half faster. During the second
heat hat was blown off the wear
er's head near the first turn and this
evidently frightened Argot Boy, for
he broke in a bad manner and this
is said to be the reason why he did
not make better time at the finish.
The race was an exciting one from
the start to the finish and was wit
messed by thousands or people. 1t
was the fastest mile made this year
on any track in the United States
The fair was a grand success in
every way and very largely attended
by people from all over the state.

HOW PEOPLE SLEEP,

There is great diversity in the meth ods of sleeping among people of differ cnt nations. Indeed the things neces- sary to procure sleep for one individual appear frequently to be just the things that would keep another awake all night.
 The European or American in order to sleep weI ordinarily requires d soft pillow under his head, but the Japan csc, stretching himself on a rush mat on the floor, puts a hard, square block of wood under his head and does not sleep well if he does not have 1t,
 The Chinese makes a great to-do m the matter of his bed, which is very low. indeed, scarcely rising from tho noor but is often carved oxqnisitely of wood; and it never occurs to him to make it any softer than rush mats will render It.
 While the people of the northern countries cannot sleep unless they have plenty of room in which tC stretch their legs, the inhabitants ot the tropics often curl themselves uI like monkeys, at the lower angle of { suspended hammock, and sleep sound Iy that way
The morning journal-courier., 1908-12-02

Tho robust American will cover him self with a pair of blankets and throw his window open to the air, even in the dead of winter, and he will not some times complain if there is little drift of snow across the sill in the morn ing
 The Russian, on the contrary, likes to sleeping place so well as the top or the big soapstone stove in his doml- cilc. Crawling out of his bisterlng bed in the morning, he likes to take plunge in a cold stream even if he has to break through ice to do so.
 While the American clings to his feather pillow he has long since dis cardcd his old fashioned feather bed in favor of the hair or straw or felt mat trcss. The feather bed has been rele- gated to the country, and many people that slept on 1t in their childhood found it uncomfortable in their later years.
 The Germans not only sleep on a feather bed but underneath one as well. The feather covering used in Germany however, is not 50 large or thick as the one used as a mattress and the for eigner that undertakes to sleep be- meath 1t often finds his feet suffering from the cold while his shoulders are suffering from heat Boston Post.
