Associated Press Special.
Baltimore, June 2s.-Democra'
cy's real leader and best asset
invulnerable in his record of long
public service, imperturable in ac'
| ton and impregnable in honor, and
| blameless in his private life. was
the way in which Oscar w. Under
wood, of Alabama. was described
to the convention by VIM. B. Bank
head of Alabama, who nominated
Mr. Underwood for the presidency.
After declaring that the repub-
lican party thad become, in the
hours of its present degeneracy,
the embodiment of complaeent in
competency and broken faith and
that, although it claimed to be the
protector of labor, the fruits of
labor have been gathered as divid-
ends by Illegal combinations in re-
straint of trade, Mr.. Bankhead
asserted that the democratic party
had been acting safely and CON
servatiyely.
Then, going on to describe the
qualities needed in a leader who
could carry the democratic party
to success he said it would be
logical to put Mr.. Underwood in
command OF the forces in that bat
tie where his brilliant achieve
ments already had created dem
ocracy's opportunity and redeemed
pledges. The chief is
sue before the country, he said,
was the tariff; and Mr.. Under
wood has fought, with the fore
sight of patriotic statesman, and
will continue to fight for a lower
cost of living, for an equal oppor-
tunity for all men through the
of new and righteous
tariff"
The sum total of republican
since the last cleo
ton, declared Mr. Bankhead, has
been the further Impeachment
of the poor, plus a placid tariff
board whose deliberations give no
reasonable promise of relief from
the present unbearable burdens. >
He attacked the republican cam
paign as a "humiliating spectacle
OF "a TRADE of recriminations, In
which the high ideals of statesman
ship had been thrown to the
winds. -
One benefit of this, he said, was
that it had brought the dawning
of that good day when the peo-
pie are to restore to full power
and responsibility the democratic
party, which has made it evil
dent that it intends to serve the
real interests of the people If it
can be given full opportunity to
redeem it's solemn pledges

beneath which democracy viii
march in glorious victory.
And so | nominate this man,
who has fought a thousand bat
ties for democracy and not one
against her; who has never low
cred his flag or asked for quarter;
who has never deserted nor taken
furlough; who does not know
how to quit a friend or betray
party; whose back the enemy has
never seen, but whose breast is
covered with the scars of many
hard campaigns; who leads today
and who should continue to lead
the Lion of Democracy, Champ
Clark OF Missouri"

weeks afterward A little over six
months from the time/of the assault
she gave birth to very premature
child, which lived little over a
month. 1t was very weak from the
first and the attending physician pre-
dicted that it would not live. All that
loving hands and tender hearts could
do was done for the child, but it
passed away Sunday night, July %.
Funeral services were conducted
Tuesday. July 80, at the Bowman
home by Rev. Mcbride of Winfield, and
Rev. Holiday of Packwood, in the
presence of relatives and friends from
Winfield and Packwood, and the little
body was laid to rest in the Packwood
cemetery.
The day of the funeral was a sad
sight. There in the little white coffin
lay a babe as innocent as any that
ever came into the world; there sat
the mother of the baby, broken-heart-
ed, crushed and weeping. Everyone
present felt the sadness of the hour
and sympatilized deeply with Miss
Bowman and the family that they
should bear the shame and disgrace
alone, while the perpetrators of the
crime are free.
Then. to add to this shame and sor-
row, slanderous reports have been cir
culated, attacking Miss Bowman's
character. Her life from childhood to
the present has been investigated by

third ward in the city Of Ottumwa.
Politically Mr.. Clark has been a
worker since his first republican vote,
cast for Benjamin Harrison for pres1-
dent. He served Wapello county as
its member on the sixth district con-
gressinoal committee for eight years,
and at the last two national republican
conventions, he has served as SER
geant-at-arms. Mr.. Clark served for
six years as treasurer of the Sons OF
the Revolution, and he also was at
the head Of the Iowa Pharmaceutical
association as president.
Mr.. Clark states that he will make
an aggressive campaign If he receives
the nomination.

JOHNSON IS NAMED
AS RUNNING MATE
Convention Closed Last
Night With Delegates
Singing Doxology After
Completing Nominations.

Chicago, Aug. S.-If in the tumult
and shouting yesterday at the national
progressive convention Col. Theodore
Roosevelt had any doubt that he was
effectively nominated for the presi'
dency, he was treasured when q com
mittee of notification met him early
today at his hotel.
Though the colonel had been Gin
formally" notified when he went to the
convention and delivered his speech
of acceptance, the delegates who had
been selected from the states and ter
ritories as formal committee Of noti-
Mcation wished to carry out their part
of the program today.
Mr. Roosevelt was the center OF
lively group in the center Of the hotel
lobby when the committee arrived.
He, with Gov. Hiram w. Johnson of
California, the nominee for vice presi-
dent, and Albert J. Beveridge, the pro-
gressive candidate for governor OF
Indiana and permanent chairman OF
the convention, had just come from
photograph gallery where they had
pictures taken to be used in the cam
paign. In one picture the presidential
nominee posed with group OF cow
boys.
While in the lobby of the hotel
Colonel Roosevelt espied an old friend
in the crowd and he added to his
political menagerie by designating his
friend IAN old wolf
Come here, you old wolf the
colonel said, as he grasped his friend,
Albert Burton, OF Wyoming. by the
hand. Colonel Roosevelt and Governor
johnson were then escorted to room
where members of two notification
committees, there being one also for
the vice president, filed in and shook
hands. The ceremony was soon over
and then the nominees gathered with
the members of the national commit
tee which had assembled to complete
the organization and make campaign
plans.
Four Headquarters.
The national committee discussed
and probably will adopt a plan of cam
paign with four vice chairmen, each
to be in charge of separate section
Of the country. The four headquarters
probably will be in New York, San
Francisco, Chicago and New Orleans.

any measure tending toward the
general good Though a strong
and staunch Republican, Governor
elect Miller is no rabid partisan. He
has that peculiar power and ability
to rise above pure politics and join
those of the opposing party i'll
furthering the States welfare. AS
State Senator he displayed this in
clination and won the support and
respect of his Democratic col
leagues by his open and fair deal
ing. He is acquainted and i'll
thorough sympathy with the needs
of the State. Not only is this true
with regards to the needs Of Will
mington but the rural sections as
well.
The lower counties, especially,
have noted this fact and are his
loyal supporters. This sympathy
and inclination associated with
large practical business experience
fits him well for the office of Gov
ernOr.
The majority party of the Gen
eral Assembly will do well in en-
tering into the spirit Of strong bus
mess legislation and in Governor
Miller they will find loyal support.

LEGISLATIVE POSSIBILITIES

Aside from actions strictly polit-
;caIly partisan. the next session Of
the General Assembly should be in-
teresting and productive of much
legislation Of real worth.
Of course, the early days of the
session will be taken up with the
caucus troubles Of electing sue
2essor to L. $. Senator Harry Rich
ardson. At first glance, this ques-
ton would seem to be already set
tied by satisfying the ambitions of
Willard Salisbury, but rumors
from Kent and Sussex and express
sions Of pay him back from ru-
raj New Castle preclude safe pre-
dictions, this long before the ses-
sion. Our old fellow townsman,
Mr.. Handy, has many friends and
those lectures delivered in every
little village throughout the State
have brought him a considerable
following. And many Delawareans
there are who would rather risk
their State and its reputation iii
the halls Of the Senate to the genial
and silver-tOngued orator than to
leave it's honor to that ''Angel Of
Light" Quoting the devoted Della
ware Ledger heretofore known as
Willard Salisbury.
But after the Democrats decide
who can best, or who shall, repre-
sent Delaware in the United States
Senate, there are many nOn-partl-
san measures that will merit their
serious attention.
Questions Of education. school
laws, taxation, Wilmington legisla-
ton. good roads and many others
will make the session one full Of
possibilities to the State. Although
the Democrats lost the Governor
ship, they will find in the Republi-
can Governor, man who will en-
