boom, and opposed by Representative
Henry of Texas, Senator John Sharp
Williams, Mayor Baker and Delegate
Dunn of Nebraska.
The unit rule vote was regarded as
indicating an impressive development
of strength for Woodrow Wilson and
the anti-Bryan force. This, coupled
with the Wilson demonstration, has
given his stock a distinct boost.
Governor Wilson's friends contended
that the action of the committee would
not only give the governor Ohio's
nineteen delegates, but would release
delegates on other states, adding about
eighty in all to his column. Wilson's
opponents dispute this contention and
acknowledge he may get some more
delegates out of it, certainly two in
Illinois The action of the convention
will apply only in states which have
lawful district instructions. Even with
the addition of eighty delegates Cover
nor Wilson would be far under the ne
cessary total of 72S. His friends are
elated at the favorable turn, however.
Story Of Night Session.
Baltimore, June 27.-Judge Parker
called the night session of the conven-
ton to order at $50 p. IN. The Rev.
T. o. Grouse of the Mount Royal NJ E
church, made the prayer.
The temporary chairman recognized
Congressman j. Harry Covington of
Maryland, chairman of the committee
on rules. The single feature of his re-
port, which varied from the usual
routine, was the proposed resolution
that the candidates be nominated be-
fore the platform was adopted. He
spoke in advocacy of the innovation
and moved the adoption Of the report.
A roar of yeas followed and there was
not a single nay.
The rules committee chairman then
reported rule that delegates elected
at primaries shall be bound by the unit
rule. This started the real fight of the
night session. The rule touched the
state of Ohio, where nineteen Wilson
men had been tied to the Harmon peo-
! pie by the unit rule, although ma
| jority Of the voters in their districts
had instructed them for Wilson.
Mr.. Covington announced that it had
been arranged by him and Congress.
man of Henry Texas, representing the
minority of the committee, to devote
two hours to debate. The announce
ment did not please many delegates
and there were loud shouts Of NO!
Mr.. Henry, who introduced the resolu
ton in congress to investigate the
money trust, read the minority report
and gave way to Mr.. Covington who
defended the unit rule as Jeffersoniar
doctrine The rule was a progressive
institution, he added.
Mr.. Henry said he was surprised
that a report should be presented by
Mr.. COvington forbidding a delegate
% vote as his district instructed him
especially since Maryland has law tC
the contrary.
"In Ohio the legislature took away
from the political committees the righ
to name delegates, but put into tbs
statutes the provision that they should
be elected by the people Of the dis
tricts," said Mr.. Henry. He said luz
ther: THAT convention split upon tn,
will of the people" he said 'for thii
convention to reverse the will of tn,
people would be a mockery of sci
government"

The jurors who have just return
ed from attendance of the June
term of court speak highly in praise
of the courtesy of Judge Searle.
They say the entire panel were of
the same mind on this matter. They
also appreciate his kindness in allow
ing them intermissions occasionally
while in the jury box.
The smile on the farmers faces
out this way will wash off easily as
the crops look anything but en-
couraging. Corn has both ends close
to the ground yet, oats the same,
potatoes look like a dollar a bushel
next fall for those who may be for
tunate enough to have any to sell,
and hay will not have to be pitched
very high in the NOW. Pastures are
drying up at a lively rate and the
loads of milk are lighter.
At some time during the thunder
shower on Friday last Joseph Abra-
ham had a valuable three-year-old
heifer killed by an electric bolt.
Ralph Tegeler and bride have re-
