on Thursday ard the temperature In.
side the hall was high and uncom-
Portable. The public, however, seemed
to have as much interest as ever in
the convention, and the galleries were
packed long before any considerable
number of delegates had arrived.
The convention was called to order
at 1:40
The nomination of candidate for
vice-president was the only business
before the convention. j. ]. Walsh
presented the name of Archibald Nc
Neill OF Connecticut. Gov. Thomas Of
Colorado named Charles A. Towne Of
New York. Thomas r. Marshall urged
the claims of John w. Kern of Indiana,
and the convention cheered the pres
entation of the name of the Hoosier
statesman.
Gov. Folk of Missouri seconded the
nomination of Mr.. Kern.
Gov. Hill of Georgia put in nomina'
ton Clark Howell.
Hill of Georgia withdrew Howelrs
name and seconded the nomination OF
Mr.. Kern.
Charles A. Towne also withdrew
from the contest, and urged his friends
to unite on Kern.
The Withdrawals increased the Wig
or of the demonstrations in favor of
Kern, and on the motion that he be
nominated by reclamation, which was
carried, the cheering resembled close
| ly the enthusiasm which had been
evinced at the nomination of Mr.
Bryan the day before.
Wearied by the two tumultuous SEES,
sions, the delegates left the cOnven
ton hall and the great gathering was
at an end.
Sketch of Kern's Career.
John Worth Kern was born in How
ard county, Indiana, December 20
! 1S49. He graduated from the Univer
! sity Of Michigan in 1869 at the age OF
| 20 years, with the degree of doc
tor of laws. His first official position
which brought him into the public
eye was when fulfilling his duties as
a reporter of the supreme court OF
Indiana, which office he held from 1885,
to 1889. For four years-1S92 to 1896
he was a state senator. He became
city attorney of Indianapolis in 1897
and held that office for four years
A year before he gave up the Office
he ran for the gubernatOrial chair In
Indiana, and was beaten. Four years
later--in 1904-he also tried for the
governorship on the Democratic ticket
and was again defeated. Later he re
ceived the complimentary vote of the
party for United States senator

Hearst BaIks on Bryan.

New York, July 12.-That William
J. Bryan is not to have the support Of
William X. Hearst is indicated by the
attitude of Mr.. Hearst's two New
York newspapers, the American and
the Evening Journal. The two papers
announce a loss of confidence on
their part both In the democratic
party and in Mr.. Bryan.

Sultan Takes Backward Step

The sultan of Turkey has practically
denied to Christian churches the right
they have enjoyed since 1874 to pur-
chase and hold real estate in their own
names, one case in point being that Of
an American who held land in Ces-
area, which he was forced to deed to
the sultan on the purchase price being
refunded to him.

Clock Is Stopped.


Leading up to the nomination were
hours that began with picturesque en-
thusiasm, which grew into uncon.
trollable disorder. The nominating
speeches were made amid scenes akin
to panic at certain stages.
At IL o'clock midnight the conVen,
ton clock was stopped, so that con,
structively the nomination of Bryan
would take place at Thursdays ses,
sion of the convention. Will the Fri
day hoodoo be overcome by this tech
nical evasion? is a question that was
in the minds of enthusiastic Bryan
Democrats, as they wendell their way
from the convention hall in the early
morning hours.

ANOTHER JOHNSON.

The public library commission has
added to its staff as legislative reference
librarian, Sveinbjorn johnson, who will
begin his work at Bismarck early in
August.
MIR. johnson is an Icelander by birth,
has been for many years resident of
North Dakota, and is graduate of the
state university. In June, 1907, he re-
ceived the degree of MA. from that
institution, and this year graduated from
the law school. His success as debater
won him place in the annual contest
with South Dakota, and his contributions
to the history of the state have been of
special merit,particularly his sketches of
the Norwegians and Icelanders in the
valley, and his account of the Icelandic
settlement in Pembina County,
He has had exhaustive courses in eco-
nomics, political science and sociology,
and is now in Madison spending few
weeks on the technique of legislative
reference work.
The commission is to be congratulated
on having the services of one SO we'll
qualified for the position.

LOOKS GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT.

No crop that grows looks so much like
the real thing as wheat. Corn, oats, bar.
ley, grass also look we'll at harvest time
but even when ripe only appear as a
means to an end. They must first be fed
to stock, or 60 through more or less
changes before they are in shape fol
human food. But great field of ripe
brown-yellow wheat looks the loaves OF
bread that it will make little later
while the hungry man could easily sus-
tain life with the raw kernels. And
though he had never seen wheat field
before, he would pluck and eat without
hesitation. 1t looks good to eat as does
no other crop.
No other crop looks SO much like
money. The term golden wheat" has
the double sense of both color and value.
A bushel of. wheat and dollar have very
close connection in the markets of the
world. No wonder the wheat farmer likes
his crop. It is food for mankind, the
best that nature has given the WORLD, ,and
is more easily turned into cash than any
other crop.
"And at that time Jesus went on the
sabbath day through the corn, and his
disciples were hungered, and began to
pluck the ears of corn, (whest) and to
eat"

WHERE'S DloGENEs

The theory of the supporters of the
primary law is, that the convention
system has proven to be failure because
of bribery, incompetence and general
political debasement of the delegates
selected to such conventions.
= The delegates elected to such conven-
tions have been selected by caucuses and
by county conventions. This implies
that the persons thus selected were
neighbors and well-known by the voters
that selected them as such delegates.
The primary law gives as remedy for
the political and moral diseases it con-
demns, that the voters shall elect the
congressional, state and county officials
direct, and select such officials from self
nominated candidates who are mostly
absolute strangers, without regard to
local distribution in the state or county
except that the"favorite son"is expected
to get the solid vote of his locality.
Now, if the. voters have not been able
to find honest representatives among
their own neighbors,how are they to find
honest men among strangers? Or, is il
true that the neighbors are all d shonest
while all the strangers are upright?
This looks like problem for Diogenes
and his lantern.

"Had there been such law between
1850 and 1850 there would have been no
republican party to-day, said the Judge.
"While I was called upon to pass upon
the demurrer in the case I am of the
opinion that we are working under the
old election law and the primary law is
unconstitutional"
That is, Judge Templeton's decision is
practically, that the part of the law on
which he passed is constitutional as the
rest of the primary law, but in his opin-
ior the whole. thing is unconstitutional.
Under the 80 per cent condition of the
primary law, if the democratic party of
this state had not made an extraordinary
effort to get out its vote it would now be
dead in the eyes of that law-and not
only dead but would be dead without
possibility of resurrection as a party
under the provisions of the law.
We presume that it will now be order
for the st. Thomas Times and many
others of the 'progressive'' press to re-
iterate again the statement that only the
''stalwarts" oppose the primary law pro-
visions, though Judge Templeton is a
democrat from the carrier years.
On the other hand, the Pioneer Ex-
press, which has from the very beginning
contended that the primary law was un-
constitutional in theory,in inception, land
in its provisions, feels pleased to be en-
dorsed by so eminent jurist as Judge
Templeton. The Pioneer Express does
not pretend to be constitutional lawyer
but it does not necessarily need to be to
know something of the selt-evident
truths implied under the statement
"An men are created free and equal,''
and the primary law from beginning to
end is a limitation and curtailment OF
the equal rights of suffrage and qualifi-
cations for office.

NOT CONSTITUTIONAL.

Judge Templeton at Grand Forks this
week decided that part of the primary
law requiring candidate to receive &c
per cent of the party vote to get his
name printed on the ballot at the .gener
al election under the party heading ito
be constitutional. The decision was
largely of a'merely formal nature in the
district court and but preparatory to a
decision the supreme court,which is ex.
pected to be given iii the near future.
The Grand Forks Herald in it's report
says
Judge CT. .Templeton, who passed on
the case, is confident that the primary
election law as it stands is unconstitut-
ional. Under it's provisions new parties
cannot be formed and get their candi-
dates on the ballot. The prohibition
party cannot get the state ticket on the
ballot and the socialist and new Inde.
pendence Harty are in the same fix"

One of the most common disputes that
have to be settled by law is that when a
contract, deco, d,mortgage or other written
instrument is executed, that there is also
made some oral agreement or condition
that is not specifically stated in the
written instrument. All persons should
know that in such cases the oral agree
ment cannot be enforced under the sta
'tutes of thi, state, if disputed. The
written contract and what it says is the
only thing that goes in court, except
under very peculiar or extraordinary cir
cumstances and then must not be in
opposition or contrary to the written
instrument,

lutely declines denomination for the
third term. Governor johnson by recent
developments has been thrown into pro.
minence as presidential timber for 1912
which defeat at the polls for governor
this fall would rather diminish-and he
therefore does not care to take the
chance of defeat. On the other hand a
large proportion of the democratic party

nothing but defeat ahead of them unless
they can get Johns0n to run.
