all knew, but, like drowning man

upon this two-thirds rule as a last re-
sort
But now enough delegates have al

but will have over $50 to spare.
The democratic national convention
will have 1908 delegates. Under the
two-thirds rule it will be necessary
for Bryan to have 672 votes.
The Herald, figuring the number Of
delegates already instructed for Bryan
and those to be selected who would
probably be for Bryan, drew the cen
clusion that Bryan would have sol
votes in the convention.
But since the Herald's tables we're
compiled, Michigan, which the Herald
listed as probably anti-Bryan, has Sc
lected solid Bryan delegation of 2S.
This would then make Bryan's total
vote in the convention 500, or 157
more than is necessary to elect,
In addition, six delegations which
the Herald listed as not selected but
which would probably be for Bryan,
have been selected since the Herald's
table was compiled, and all six are
| for Bryan. These six, of course, do
not change The Herald's figures. but
the fact that not one state listed as
probably for Bryan has gone against
| him, while Michigan listed as prob
ably anti-Bryan has selected a Bryan
delegation. shows that the Herald S
figures do not lean bit in Bryan S
! favor.
1t is evident that the Herald's de-
duction that it would be Bryan in a
walk" was we'll made. The following
are the figures as given by the Herald
the only revision made being with ref
erence to states that have selected
delegations since the table was pre-
pared:

and with instructions to keep Ruef
prisoner at any cost, now accompany
him in his automobile during all the

the strictest orders have been issued
concerning the methods to be adopt

Chatauqua Assn. Want Site

The representative OF the Chatau-
qua Association has asked the Cham
Der OF Commerce to secure for him If
possible site OF from 10 to 20 acres
anywhere along the beach from Fort
Stevens to Seaside where summer
Chatauqua can be held. The associa-
ton will be permanent feature and
will last indefinitely in the future, each
summer meeting continuing probably
about two weeks. This representa-
tive desires that the site be rendered
free Of rental if possible and in that
case as the beach from Fort Stevens
to Seaside is more desirable than any
part of the Northwest for such a
meeting he has no doubt of his abil-
ity to give Clatsop county the bene-
fits of the permanent association. As
there would be in all probability at
least thousand people in camp at
these Chatauqua grounds for the two
weeks or longer there would of course
be valuable reasons why property
holders might want to secure the To-
cation for the Chatauqua. Probably
the best site for an encampment OF
this kind anywhere in the Northwest
is that on :, e'ch the State militia
camped at Seaside last summer and
If the citizens &C Seaside SEE fit to
tender site of 10 acres for the per-
ihanent Chatauqua Association which
can be used two weeks or little
longer each summer there is scarce
ly any doubt of the fact that Seaside
will capture the plum, but there are
some splendid sites along the sea
beach in Clatsop county outside of
Seaside and the owners of these or
interested parties in these should get
busy at once.

CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.

CHICAGO. Jan 30--"A campaign
of education on the saloon question
is to be pushed through the United
States-not this time by the W. c,
T. u. nor any law and order leagues
but by liquor dealers and their allies.
The nature OF the instruction also
will differ from that familiar through
the campaigns of the teetotal cru
sades.
The movement was given impetus
last night at a meeting of the Man
ufacturers and Dealers Club Of Him
ois.
The object of the campaign is to
create a sentiment against the local
option laws and disorderists which
are becoming so numerous. They
are opposed to "cranks, hypocrites
and the fanatical prohibition element"
The movement is not wholly in the
interest of the manufacturers. The
concern is felt for the welfare "of
the starving women and children OF
employees" thrown out OF work be-
cause of the activity of the prohibi-
tionists.
