NOMINATED As A DUMMY
Democrats in Massachusetts Name
Man who Agrees to Withdraw.

Boston, Oct. although the demo
Gratis of Massachusetts after stormy
thirteen hours convention at Faneuil
Hall early today nominated Frederick
w Mansfield of Boston for governor,
the party probably will have another
candidate to oppose Governor Eben
S. Draper in the coming campaign.
Mr.. Mansfields selection was tempo
rary eXpedient, made when decision
on the two candidates before the con-
vention became impossible, and was
intended to fulfill the legal require
ment that the nominees name be Ill
ed with the secretary of state by b
p. m. today. 1t is understood Mr.
Mansfield will withdraw to make way
for a candidate chosen by commit
tee appointed for the purpose.
This committee also will select a
candidate for lieutenant governor.
The withdrawal of the three candi-
dates and the active participation OF
a squad of policemen enabled the con-
vention, which convened at noon yes
terday to adjourn at 1870 a. m. to-
day after nominating Mr. Mansfield.
The remainder of the state ticket
nominated is:
Secretary of state, A, z. E. Charest;
treasurer, General B. F. Peach; audi
tor, Charles c. Paine; attorney gen
eral, John Ratigan.
The Foss and Valley leaders at lis
a. m, presented the conference solu'
ton of the difficulty-the nomination
of Mansfield with the understanding
he would withdraw in favor of some
one else within seventy-two hours af
ter the filing of nomination papers
The convention accepted the PROPOSE
ton and a committee consisting OF
Vahey supporters and two Foss men
was appointed to choose permanent
candidate for governor and lieutenant
governor This committee went into
conference with the state committee
this forenoon.

NSSllgdl''IS
Chicago, Oct. Lee O'Neil Browne,
minority leader in the legislature
which elected Senator Lorimer May
26, 1909, was scheduled today to re-

The hearing of witnesses will prac-
tically be completed with the testi-

Representative Robert E. Wilson, said
to have been an agent in the payment
of money to some of the legislators, is
served with the subpoenae issued for
him. There is probability that today
will close the sessions of the commit
tee here.

of the opinion that the plot to destroy
the Times and the home of its owners
was carefully worked out, a. ample
provision made beforehand for the es-
cape of the conspirators. The arrests
are expected to be made at some point
far distant.
Another body was taken from the
ruins. This makes seventeen bodies
so far recovered, 1t was not identi
fed.

that if any others fell near it when

were burned to cinders and were shov
eled out and carted upon fiat cars with
debris to be hauled away.

Los Angeles. Cal, April %, 1910.
My Dear Uncle:
Your "affcctionate" cpistle just received
and contents noted. Also duly noted the
supreme ignorance you exhibit regarding
the great California Oil Industry, which
ignorance | regret to state Is very preVa-
lent and must be excused III your good
self because from personal contact with
some business people ! know it exists right
here in California to a certain extent. Now,
Uncle, just make a note OF this fact as 1t
will by way of explanation help you out
a great deal when you have advanced
further in my letter. 1t is this ignorance
of the magnitude, the wonderful present
status, and the outlook for the future, that
makes the oil business in California the
vcritable gold mine it now is for the stock
holder.
BY this statement | mean that the pres
ent or existing conditions which show such
a tremendous difference between the price
of lands in the great oil belts of California
and the average immense returns upon
