DUMMY" NAMED
FOR GOVERNOR
Mil Withdraw II Satisfactory
Candidate Is Found
DEMOCRATS IN WILD RIOTS

vahey Brings Delegates to Their
Senses by Pointing Out That Nomi-
nation Is Lost to Himself and Foss--
Chairman Calls on Police to Stop
Fights Which Are Carried on In the
Convention Hall
Boston, Oct. AFTER wild and
disorderly scenes the Democratic state
convention adjourned at 1:45 O'Clock
this morning. James 81. Valley came
into the convention haN at 1880 a.
M, hagsaTd and earsworn, and
begged the delegates to support him
in his withdrawal and the eomppeInAse
ticket which he presented 70 the con-
vention.
The ticket was made up after a con-
ference of representatives Of both
leading candidates. The ticket as
named is Frederick W. Mansheld, for
governor; A. z. e. Charest Of Hol-
yoke, secretary of state; John B. Rat-
gan of Worcester, attorney general;
Charles l.. Paine of Hyannis, state
auditor; A. c. Peach of Lynn, state
treasurer.
1t was generally agreed that Mans
field was only dummy candidate.
The situation had an element of the
pathetic in 1t when James H. Vahey
came to the platform and begged the
delegates "for Gods sake" to stand
by the ticket for which he had with
drawn.
For Gods sake, have some sense.
Neither myself nor Mr.. Foss can win
at this convention, he said. This
is perfectly evident and l withdraw.
This fierce struggle here cannot do
the party any good. ! will sacrifice
everything in order that the cause may
succeed. We must now get together
at this time In the morning and forget
that we are not here to crafty either
personal or political ambitions"
The convention at Faneuil hall be-
came so wild and disorderly at 1890
o'clock this morning that Chairman
was compelled to force an ad-
tournament for thirty minutes to give
the police an opportunity to quell the
riot and stop the fighting that was
taking place in all parts Of the hall.

None OF the substitutes that we have

CUMMINGS FIELD TO
HAVE GRASS SURFACE.
Famous Athletic Ground TO be I'm
Drovcd-New Covered Stands
To be Erected.

There is to be all sorts of dongs at the
university within tho next two months.
the weather gods permitting, and when
they are through. Cummings field, the
scene OF so many heroic encounters In the
past, win hardly be recognized For DR..
j. l.. Merrill, than whom there is no
more ardent enthusiast when II comeS to
sports. and who is the chairman OF the
body which tells what's what In regard
TO athletics, has attained to long
sensed finale OF Just what ought to be
done to the field.
While Dr. Merrill Is supposed to be
something of a bluestocking and has
number of hobbies. such as butterflies
and the dinasauros. and Il few other
things too numerous TO mention. Still no
comes down out of the clouds once In a
few times and has made reputation as
a iinancier OF the college athletic fund.
Tho fact that there Is neither n Rockcfcl-
Ter nor n Carnegie TO help things along
with Utah has hurt eoIno- But DIR. Mer-
rill has. through narrowed financial
paths, found his devious way to sodding
Cummings field and making 1t as fine
n stadium as can be found In the west.
It's going to cost something like 5000
to do it., but the professor says that 1t
Is to be done. and that rs soon as tho
SHOWS mclts and the sod can be laid.
The plan of Prof. Merrill has been hail
ed with JOY by the students at the u.
who are looking forward to campus
which VIII compare faVorably with that
of any In the country. The sodding.
which is to be done as early az possible.
will not materially affect the track work.
for 1t is expected that everything Will be
In 1no shape before the real outdoor work
begins.
Fort Douglas has come TO the rescue OF
tho baseball boys and has rendered the
use of their grounds for practise. This
Will help some and will be accepted prob
ably. with very grateful thanks for tho
consideration. Tho fort grounds arc not
far distant and are splendid 1t Is
thought that before the season gets at all
advanced the new field viii bo In read
mess, Tho base paths Will be skinned,
as In all up-to-date eastern baseball
grounds. Outside of this. and the sod
ding. the field Will remain the same as
regards tho surface Tho sod field will
render faster every variety OF sport and
the grldiron Will be much easier and
specdier.
There are to bo blcachers erected. So
called blcaohcrs. which will have shelters
and be lmpervlous to sun or rain. There
is to be seating capacity of over 900.
and everything is TO be done to make
Cummings field a place where all of the
big athletic events OF Salt Lake can be
accommodated. Prof. Merrill has a num-
Der of things up his sleeve which he re-
fuses to divulge but they Will probably
como 10 the surface today at the meeting.

ATHLETIC j OF j
IS VERY POPULAR
Datcs-All-U Utah Team
Possible.

Never has the university been so popu-
lar as 1t is this year In reGur1 to track
meets. 1t seems as If even Harvard and
Yale are looking for dates at Salt Lake.
There Is hardly a school In the Inter-
mountain country which mas not written
FOL dates and there is at least one on the
coast which Is looking anxiously for a
two-day meet. Just how the whole mat
ter VIII como out remains to be seen.
There IS a sort of a movement on foot
10 make AN All-Utah team to meet all
corners. Just how this Will work out is
lroblcmPtleol, but the matter has becr
broachcd and Is receiving serious consld-
Grafton. In view OF the fact tina; many
of the iast,tutlons concerned are men,
bers of the intercollegiate agreement In
regard to the one-year rule. whic1 vii!
not be effective at the university untn next
year IL Is question as TO just how the
contests would work out. special Dis
Lensation would be required and IN view
or the conditions. athletic coaches and
managers think that there would be little
trouble In obtaining these.
The athletic meets which are foregone
conclusions at the L. include the Colo
RADIO School of Mines, Colorado College.
and Denver university all of them at
Cummings field. The other one which is
on the map Is the meet with Boulder at
Denver Nevada wants a track meet here
and there is no telling just how this is
going to come out. II Is not probable. in
view OF the many engagements already
on hand and others more propltious than
Nevada, that the Reno boys Will be seen
on the field at Salt Lake this year.
STANFORD A CANDIDATE.
Stanford university wants to stop off
nj Salt Lake for n two-dlte meet about
May 50 on their way east where they will
meet Chicago in June They want n
last-of- May date but there Is no possibll
ity of their getting this because OF tho
fact that the U. track team will be brok-
Ell up at that time. The seniors will be
on their mining trip and the juniors on
their survey. and this would leave prac-
tically nobody to meet the visitors An
cndeavor Is being made to get the coast
boys here at least week before the flrst
of June, In which case there Is to be n
big field day.
The University Of Idaho has asked to
have football game In Salt Lake every
year. between Utah and Idaho. The uni
versity of the neighborlng state is located
at Moscow. at small town, and there Is no
possibility OF making expenses there, IL
is probable that Idaho Will be accommo-
dated. With the conference agreement,
Utah will be enabled to obtain many
games which have heretofore been
barred. All In all. the coming university |
year has much of promise.
