There has already been threshed

IN the garden Of Peter Rorvik We

Friday night, the boys from the
Circle K beef roundup, who We're
camped half mile west Of Circle,
came riding into town for a dance

the Redwater country for eleven

Mrs Geo. Mcintyre Weaver, lone woman

Deadlock Record
About To Be Broken.

General predictions were made today
that the Democratic national conven-
tion would break all records for dead
locks The first high record-49 bal
lots-was made In this city in 1882
when Franklin Pierce was nominated.
At Charleston in 1859 40 ballots were
cast
The delegates are casting glances
homeward. Many fear that their bust
ness viii be wrecked by long absence.
Others fear that they will go hungry If
they stay much longer These condi-
tions only can prevent a record break
ing session, several leaders asserted to-
day.
Many predicted that both OF the pre-
ceding long balloting contests would be
broken. Others predicted that the
break to the successful candidate would
come not later than Wednesday, while
still others are predicting that the
deadlock will not be broken and that
the convention will have to adjourn to
leave the entire question again to the
people to select their choice from the
three leading candidates now in the
deadlock
In some quarters a plan was put for
ward in effect that the convention
could adjourn and reconvene in Chi
cago late in August. in the meantime

mary.

The flight across the Atlantic was the

The fabric for the big gas bag was
made at the rubber plant here and was
shipped to Atlantic City in charge of
Vaniman and his brother. It requifed
many months Of constant labor to con-
struct the bag and when finished was
pronounced to be the strongest gas bag
ever constructed. The manufacture Of
the fabric was kept a secret for a long
time after the details were given TO the
public None Of the crew. including

SLIM HOPE FOR

AIabaman Expected to Have

Win, It's Champ Clark.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.

CONVENTION HALL. BALTIMORE,
MD, July 2.-The morning of another
balloting day in the national convention
found things pretty much where they
we're yesterday morning, save that it
is more vident than ever that Wood
row Wilson will not be the nominee Of
the party.
Yesterday morning l sized the situa-
tion up in a sentence reading: CLARK or
chaos l repeat that sentence today.
1t is as much Clark or chaos now as
then.
The Woodrow Wilson forces worked
like beavers yesterday They endeav-
ored with all their might to accom-
phsh two things-frst. to nominate
Wilson; second. If not to nominate him,
at least to crowd him across the ma
jority line. and thus make answer to
Clarks crushing appeal that he has
been named seven times by a majority
vote and by all unwritten. undisputed
law and custom is entitled to the
nomination.
Georgia WiIsonites Active.
The Wilson people have accomplished
neither consummation so devoutly
sought by them Wilson reached high
water mark last night and fell below it
before adjournment Maybe he may
muster a few more votes on the early
ballots today The chances are he has
spent his force and from now on will
fade as compelling factor in the prob

might and main to bring about the
nomination of the New Jerseyite. ]. r.

day, hurried back for Mondays voting,

plucking was expected to take place

r. Gray of Atlanta; Pleasant A. Sto-
vail, of Savannah; f. T. Brown and

We know him. He's always selfish
Can you name a man he ever helped?
Can you name a man he ever tried 20

grateful. We have an ex-mayor and

Carroll, of Alabama; "Bryan's ac-
ton? 1t was what I should have ex-
pected. Bryan is a composite of Peck
sniff and Uriah Heep. AS hypocritical
as Pecksniff, he has all of the pre-
tended humility based upon vicious
ness which Dickens gave to Uriah
Heep"
Remember Benefits Will?
Baldwin, of Tennessee: "Tve never
heard much good of either Ryan or
Belmont. On the other hand, I've
never heard of anything so unalterably
mean as what Bryan himself admitted
he did to old Dotard Bennett If there's
anything in the record of either Ryan
or Belmont which for meanness can

himself the nomination Bryan is seek

He will get 1t If there are enough hope
less fools among the delegates to give
it to him. Also, mark my words, if
Bryan isn't nominated he'll quit the

son for not giving it to him. Talk of
Sinbad the Sailor and his Old Man of
the Sea; Bryan has been Democracy's
