Boston, Oct. 1S.-But one man
stands between the Democrats of
Massachusetts and harmony. after u
days of bitter controversy over a state
ticket for the November election. If
that man, Frederick w. Mansfield OF
Boston, carries out the alleged agree
ment made in the last minutes of
the Fanieul Hall convention and with
draws his name as candidate for gov
ernor before five P. NJ on Thursday,
the state ticket will be as follows:

of North Adams.
Secretary of State-Charles ] Mar

Treasurer-Benjamin F. Peache Of
Lynn.
Auditor-Charles o. Payne Of Barn

Attorney General-.John Ratigan OF
Worcester.
The deadlock was broken today by
the formal withdrawal of Charles S.
Hamlin as claimant for the guber-
material nomination and within a
few hours the committee of four an.
pointed by the convention had voted
unanimously in favor of Mr.. FOss.
The situation was further cleared
when the Foss representatives on the
committee, F. j. Mcleod and Joseph
A. Maynard, persuaded Thomas P.
Riley of Maiden. who had filed papers
for the nomination of lieutenant gov
ernOr as a Democratic Citizen to fol-
low Mr. Hamlin and withdraw in favor
of Mr.. Cassidy This he did at 5 p.

has decided that the convention failed
to make any nomination for that Of

power to fill vacancy. There can

candidate for the second place on tn"
ticket this year.

On Board Steamship Trent at Sea,
(Midnight, Oct. is, by United Wireless
to The Associated Press, New York:
We sighted the airship America at 5
A NJ. today. She signaled us by the
Morse code, and the wireless played a
wonderful part in requesting me to
stand by her till daylight. We kept a
boat close by her till dawn broke when
she signalled that she could not launch
her lifebOat and asked me to keep close
in order that line might be attached.
We made several futile attempts to
attach a line, then the America wire
lessed that she would come down to
the water as soon as possible and drop
her boat if | could stand by and pick
the boat up.
Meanwhile our lifebOats kept as close
to the airship as possible. and finally
she got all her men in her boat and
cut adrift at height of about five feet
from the water.
This proved successful. The Amer
lea immediately rose in the air and

the pleasure of welcoming on board
Mr. Wellman and his five leutenants

years. She packed all these pos
sibilities into the cotton seed as
she sat weaving this wonderful old
earth dim aeons ago.
For many decades past one after
another of the startling uses to
which cotton may be turned has
been brought into the realm of
discovery. The Egyptians knew
that men could clothe themselves
with cotton. But not until recent
ly have we found out that we can
feed ourselves with cotton, that we
can serve up this magical. protean
plant In the form of deIicions hot
biscuit or batter cakes for break
fast.
Col. John W. Allison, of Ennis.
Texas, appears to have been the
Columbus of this new food CONT
nent. Some years ago, as he stood
whiting the wholesome odor of
cotton seed meal, he took it into
his fertile brain that this product
could be used as substitute for
flour. He got a batch of the stuff
mixed it with the proper ingredi-
ents of the dough and put it in the
oven. From that day to this he
has been eating cotton seed bread.
There's no mystery or secret to
the process. Cotton seed -four, he
says, is no more than finely ground
carefully bolted cotton seed meal.
In breads requiring to be kneaded.
says the Colonel, the cotton seed
flour, since it is practically with
out gluten, must be mixed with a |
portion of wheat -four. Otherwise
the product is treated just as corn
meal is and according to reliable
palates, it makes detachable cakes, |
buildings, pies, doughnuts and |
what not.
The discovery is really more in
than Commander Peary's
arrival at the north pole-let us
presume for the sakeiof peace that
the commander did arrive. For it
represents another inroad to the
riches of nature. 1t
suggests that as yet civilization
has barely scratched the outer
crust of the earth's marvels and
fecund uses. Billions of dollars
