L. =. SCIENTISTS ARE
INTERESTED IN BISON HERD

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Govern-
ment scientists in Washington dis
played great interest in the dispatch
from Winnipeg announcing that Harry
V. Radford, the American explorer, had
discovered more than $50 wild buffalo
in the Slave Lake district of the Hud
son Bay country
The wild buffalo of the American
plains are gone and nothing remains
of them save a few museum and ZOO
logical park specimens.
Outside of the National Geological
para in Washington, the Bronx Zoo, in
New York; Yellowstone National park.
and a few other collections of domes-
ticated bison, there are no known liv
ing specimens of the buffalo in this
country, and the last wild herd in the
United States is believed to have been
eXterminated. For many years re-
ports have come out of the Hudson
Bay country concerning the existence
of a new and distinct species of 'buf-
falo, but only within the past ten
years have chemists agreed that this
species is a different variety from the
American bison.

THE ISSUE OF THE CAMPAIGN

Golfers Weekly which is the
most representative of publications as
applied to the whole nation, says the
issue of this campaign are becoming
more definitely centered on the tariff
ana trust questions. Whatever the
situation may be in the eastern states.
1t is believed that Golfers errs in
interpreting the spirit of the West in
this respect.
The fact of the case is that most
thoughtful men in the West are not
in accord with Roosevelt on the trust
question and do not like his close
animation with certain great predatory
interests They much prefer the posi-
tion taken by Wilson on this question.
On the tariff issue they favor the
modified protective ideas Of Roose-
welt. rather than the tariff for revenue
doctrine.
But many persons who are forced
TO apologize for RooseveIt's attitude
on the trust question are among hf7
most enthusiastic supporters.
1t is difficult to analyze the motives
of a great mass of people, but 50 far
as can be learned, the people are fol-
lowing him through an instructive feel
ing that he is waging war for Man
against the despotism of the Dollar.
Roosevelt is not recognized as of
an analytic mind. In that respect
Bryan and Wilson both are his su-
periors. But Roosevelt is the oliver
Cromwell of his time His is the
greatest individual fighting force Of
two centuries. He has allied with him
on his ticket a man of his own type
worthy to hold the secondary post in
the battle for human rights.
The people at large do not go into
details of the campaign; they are no
more analytical than Roosevelt him
self. But they feel that the drift of
industrial evolution has been against
human rights and that the two great
political organizations have helped to
fetter the individual They recognize
the fact that the national Republican
party this year renewed its devotion
TO the principle of Industrial serfdon
that the national Democratic party
went on record against that serfdom
but retained within its ranks mighty
dangerous minority who are anxious
to prove traitors to the people; and
that the national Progressive party
alone in its personnel, its organization
and its declaration of principles, stands
in full face opposition to the old-time
traditions, theories and practices or
subsection of the Man to the Dollar
and promises an entirely new deal in
which the Man will be supreme.
Then, disregarding the details of
Roosevelt's trust doctrine and disre-
garding the question Of tariff. the PEG
pie of the West are becoming daily
more enthusiastic in support of Roose
welt and Johnson.

TRUITS-TH GRAPE

More than ever, the Press is
convinced that one of the greatest
opportunities presented to the people
of this valley is in early table grape
growing and this is said in full realiz-
alton Of the fact that grape marketing
up TO date has not been an unalloyed
success
The fact is that grape culture here
is an entirely different matter from
that of any other section of California,
and to get out of it what is possible
there must be a thorough knowledge
of the local aspects of the industry.
To begin with, the greatest successes
in other parts of the state have been
with the Malaga, Muscat and Flaming
Tokay. other varieties have also con-
tributed to the general success. Here
the Muscat and the Flaming Tokay
are not successfully grown. The NAL
aga thrives here. and up to this date
is the chief in shipments.
But while il has been demonstrated
that some of the coast grapes fair
here, it also has been abundantly dem
onstrated that among the many Per
sian varieties there are number of
varieties of grapes than rank with
are especially adapted to this climate.
Having the furit of excellent quality,
there is the additional merit that it
is on the market full month before
grapes appear from any other section
of the country, and that month is a
fortune for Imperial valley.
Ia This earliness of the fruit, however,
brings an obstacle, which must be
overcome. That is in the fact that
the fruit often does not reach market
in good condition. 1t not infrequently
happens that there is summer
shower Just as the fruit is at its
prime and this is very injurious. But
aside from this, the valley still has
much to learn regarding the irrigation
and the harvesting and handling or
the fruit to secure the best of shipping
qualities. To a certain extent pre-
cooling has been adopted, and that has
been found very helpful.
During recent years from Northern
California grapes have been shipped
packed in redwood sawdust, and the
testimony of many is that great sue
cess has been made in this, the keep
ing quality Of the fruit being greatly
improved, and this process most surely l
should be tried out in this valley, be- /
cause ii is inexpensive and is reputed I
10 be most effective.
single acre of grapes in this Val-
ley has already made record of
yielding more than $1,000 in a single
year, and TO have such possibility
and not follow il TO the logical limit
is 10 fail to embrace one of the great
est of opportunities.

market, particularly when they are OF

= The Evening Session.

A sweltering atmosphere with humid.
ity greeted the delegates as they fled in
Tor tonight's session, just before
O'Clock. A thunder storm that had been
threatening for an hour kept the gal
lery attendance down. The delegates
TOO, were slow in arriving. National
Chairman Mack appeared on the scene
shortly after O'Clock. When Chairman
Parker appeared there was a scattered
round OF applause. He greeted Rev. II.
.. Grouse of the Mount Royal Avenue
Methodist Episcopal church. who was
the chaplain of the meeting, and had
talk with Chairman Mack.
Chairman Parker, Parliamentarian
Crisp, Rep. Henry, chairman of the
House rules eommittee andN Rep.
Ccbington of Maryland spent some
time in conference. They frequently
consulted a book of parliamentary law
and were evidently bordering over an
impending parliamentary situation.
At SAP Chairman Parker dropped his
gaVel, the sergeant-at-arms cleared
the aisles and secured order, while
Kew. Grouse began the prayer.
Immediately after the prayer Rep.
Cobington of Maryland, chairman of
the committee on rules, was recog-
nized to present the committees re-
port.
The report as read by Mr.. Coving-
ton, would place the nominations for
President and Vice President on the
program of the convention immedi-
ately after the report of the commit
tee on credentials and before the adop-
ton of the platform.
This is contrary to the usual Gus
TOM said Mr.. Covington. But,
while the committee on rules was in
session, today, three distinguished
members of the committee on resolu-
tions, Senator Rayner. Gov. varda-
man and another distinguished men,
Der of the resolutions committee came
into our conference. They informed
the rules committee that the resolu-
tions committee by vote of Al to IL,
had determined that the exigencies of
the present Democratic situation made
it wise to have this convention pro-
coed to the nominations before the
adoption of the platform, and this
recommendation has been embodied in
the report of the rules committee.

port.

1t was said the platform would be
ready for the committee by the time
the nomination for President was
made At Mr. Bryan's suggestion it
had peen determined to present a plat
form until after the candidate had
been named.
In Mr.. Bryan's behalf it was said. to-
night, that his fight on Judge Parker
fer the temporary craftsmanship was
influenced largely by desire to get a
line on the different delegations. The
Nehraskan had not had an opportunity
to make a poll, and it was said the
chairmanship fight was his only means
of learning at the outset just what
was to be met and dealth with.
1t was generally reported about the

desertion of the Progressive cause Il
also was common gossip that there was
a good deal of feeling between the Bry-
an and Clark forces.
In the committee on credentials, today,
the Clark forces clearly controlled. The
sitting delegates from South Dakota
pledged to Wilson were unseated in IA
vor of the Clark contestants, while six
uninstructed delegates from the District
of Columbia were unseated in favor of
six instructed for Clark. There were two
sessions of the convention, today. The
one beginning at noon was devoted al
most entirely to oratory.
All of the speakers predicted success
for the party in the November elections
and derided both the Taft and Roose-
welt sections of the Republican party
Tonight, the convention at session be-
ginning at s r. NJ, began consideration
of committee reports and the work of
completing the permanent organization
In all of the party councils, today,
harmony was urged upon the various
factions. In a further effort to placate
the Bryan interests there was practical
ly a unanimous decision to make Sem
ator-elect Ollie NJ. James of Kentucky
permanent chairman. Mr.. James is
known as one of the closest friends of
the Nebraskan. Some of Gov. Woodrow
Wilson's supporters were claiming. to-
night, that sentiment in the big New
York delegation was turning toward
their candidate.
1T was everywhere agreed that the
nominee would be an out-and-out Pro-
gressive. as the party leaders believe
that only in this way can they hope for

afternoon, overturned the action of
the National committee, and gave the
ten seats from South Dakota to Clark
delegates in the first actual test of
strength between the Wilson and anti
Wilson forces.
BY vote of % to %, the commit
tee unseated the 10 Wilson delegates
who had received the highest vote in
the state primaries. June 4, and gave
the seats to the Clark delegation
headed by Andrew L. Lee This was
one of two delegations that had run
under the Clark banner, their com
bined vote exceeding that of the Will
son ticket.
The overthrow of the Wilson delegates,
who had been seated by the National
committee came as surprise to the
Wilson forces. 1t was the first case in
which the National committees decision
was reversed, and the close vote. 2S to
23, gave the Clark forces but little to
spare in their fight to seat their contest
ing delegates.
Former Senator Pettigrew, an active
figure i'm the Clark national campaign,
aided in presenting the claims of the
Clark contestants and was attacked by
the Wilson delegates.
The South Dakota case presented three
contesting tickets, one headed Wilson

''Wilson-C Clark Bryan Democracy" and

The second delegation was the one
seated The Clark forces claimed the
third ticket had been filed to divide their
vote, but this was denied The delegates

than the Wilson ticket. the total vote
