The members Of the Fire Department
and the Band finally got their money
from the Younger Carnival. When the
company left Audubon the manager of
the shows told the Chief of the Fire De-
partment that when the show was ready
for business at Manning a balance of
see. 25 would be mailed them the follow.
ing Monday. No money was received
from Manning as late as Saturday af-
ternoon. Frank Wilson and Deputy
Sheriff Sunberg went to Manning a
week ago Saturday night to force the
collection Of the amount due. Younger
kept putting the boys of until after 12
o'clock and then told them they would
have to wait. Wilson decided that he
would collect the amount and sent word
to Denison to force collection if neces.
sary. After being convinced that he
had to pay or stand law suit, Younger
paid the $a6.2s.
From the way number of newspapers
are roasting the Carnival company, the
Republican is tirmer than ever in the
belief that they were set of grafters.
Mayors in other towns seem to be able
to detect wrong though the Mayor of
Audubon could not. At Manning the
Mayor had to close the shows as late as
Saturday evening when the Company
attempted to pull off one of their rich,
rare and racy closing performances.

End Of the fwe-lhirds Rule.

Iuasmuch as their candidate polled
more than a majority Of all the dele.
gate strength Of the convention, the
Clark forces naturally feel that they
have been undone by the two-thirds
rule, custom having previously given
the needed two. thirds as soon as q
majority vote was scored. But what,
pray. does custom or precedent
amount to in politics todays Beside, il
it were tacitly understood that candi.
date with simple majority was en-.
titled to receive enough more votes to
give him two thirds, then what argument
would there be for the two.thirds rule
at ALT
The fact is. however, that continue.
ton Of the two.thirds rule Is now men.
aced by the abolition OF the time. honored
unit rule. The unit rule and the two
thirds rule have been compliments to
each other and with one gone, the other
cannot last long. Itisagain interesting
to point out that the two-thirds rule
was instituted at Baltimore where it
has now been undermined. 1t origi.
mated in o determination of the anti.
Van Buren, forces to defeat the Jackson
candidate in 1874, and it nominted
James X. Polk, remaining in effect for
these sixty.eight years.

After conference with Mr.. Hearst,
Senator Stone. David r. Fancis and
others, Speaker Clark who was assailed
by at the convention at Baltimore Sat-
urday. issued the following statement:
To-day, in the national convention,
an outrageous aspersion was cast upon
me and through me upon the democratic
party by one who, of all men, ought to
be the last to besmudge or betray his
friends or his party. So far as I am
personally concerned, it is enough to
say that the charge which reflects upon
my personal or party integrity is utter
ly and absolutely false. might afford
to forget myself, but am by the choice
of the democratic majority of the house
of representatives. the ranking official
democrat in public life, cannot be
false or corrupt without rejecting up
on my party in a most serious way.
F ANY man who could enter into an
alliance with any selfish interest or pri'
vileged class of this country to gain the
nomination for the presidency is un.
worthy of the presidency and of the
fspeakership Of the house. If have not
fehtered into such an alliance then the
democrat, however distinguished, who
wantonly charges me with this act is q
traitor to the democratic party and his
professed friendship to me.
II am not here to plead for nomi'
nation or to attempt to influence any
mans support. Let every man proceed
in this convention according to his con,
victions and the expressed will Of his
constituents. I ask no undue consider
alton from any man. be he. friend OF
foe, but I demand exact rjmtice from
every democrat either in this conven
ton or throughout the nation. With
William J. Bryan and his charge made
in the convention today, the issue Il
proof or retraction. Ishall expect him
TO meet that issue.

pretty warm and 80 Mr.. Boyer conclud.
ed to add ice cold lemonade to his free
menu. The result was that he had
more than he could do and Ave add.

Celebrating The Glorious Fourth.

Today young America is enjoying
life free from care, responsibility and
restraint 1t is giving vent to feel
ing of patriotism that has been pent up
for twelve months. This patriotism is
manifesting itself in no uncertain terms.
It is being demonstrated by the use of
fire crackers and numerous other noisy
explosives.
July 4th would not be complete with
out this manifestation and no kid"
would be true American if he lacked
the desire or instinct to participate in
the festivities of the day. The thing
is oftentimes over done, this however
does not come from the youngster, but
rather from the grown-ups, and older
ones who should know better.
It affords US much pleasure to see the
youngster have the time of his life,
with not care on earth or a thought of
the future, all in innocent glee. But,
the morrow. We shrink from its
fatalities and injuries that necessarily
follow day of celebration. We hope
no misfortune may befall the youngsters
of Audubon and trust nothing will take
place that will mar the day calculated
for pleasure only.
Today Audubon offers much that will
make for pleasure for all classes of
people. Her program has been arranged
that all who come may share in what
ever good it may contain. In order that
the working force of The Republican
may enjoy part of this program, the
paper is printed few hours earlier and
we hope our readers will overlook any
short coming in todays issue.
Rev. Freedline will deliver hisaddress
this morning and will be followed by
music by the Guthrie Center Military
band. This famous band will favor us
with its excellent music throughout the
entire day. This evening it will render
one of its grand concerts.
This afternoon will see a splendid line
Of sports and baseball game of con-
siderable note. This truly American
game will be called at 400, following
the program at the park.
Tonight comes the big free motion
picture show and the days celebration
will come to close with q magnifcent
and gorgeous display Of fireworks.
Audubon extends most cordial wei.
come to all her guests today and she is
greatly in hopes that none will 60

End Cane TUESDAY,.

Governor Woodrow Wilson Of New
jersey was nominated for president Of
the United States by the democratic
national convention in the afternoon
Tuesday, when, on the forty sixth bal
lot, he received 900 votes to "a for
Champ Clark The Missouri delegation,
which had remained faithful to Clark
to the end, then moved that the nomina-
ton he made unanimous. There was a
great chorus of approval and the long
fight was over.
Only four ballots were necessary
Tuesday to reach nomination. When
the convention adjourned Monday night
the convention had seemed to be in an
all but hopeless deadlock. Wilson had
begun to lose ground on the last few
ballots Champ Clark had made a few
temporary gains. This encouraged the
speaker to rush over to Baltimore from
Washington Tuesday morning in the
hope Of still further turning the tide
and rallying his forces to final stand.
When the speaker arrived, however,
he learned that the Illinois delegation
at an early morning conference had
decided to switch from Clark to Will
son. This meant q change of fifty
eight votes and was as fatal to Clark's
chances as it was inspiring to the Will
son forces.
The Wilson forces went to the con-
vention hall at noon in the firm belief
that the New Jersey governor would be
nominated before another adjournment
was taken. As they had expected, the
vote of Illinois marked the beginning Of
the end. West Virginia joined hands
with Illinois in going over to Wilson on
the forty.third ballot.
Following the nomination for presi.

TWO RESIDENCE
FIRES TO-DAY.
Both Occurred Within Less Than an
Hour and Both Totally
Destroyed.

Bryan suffered two residence fires
at midday today, and the remarkable
feature in connection with them was
that they occurred within less than an
hour of each other.
At 11:40 the first alarm was turned
in and the department was called to
the home OF Mr.. and Mrs. w. C.. VIII.
cox in the eastern part of the city,
near Allen Academy. On account OF
the distance the fire had made such
headway that it was impossible to
save the house and 1t was totally con-
sumed, together with all the household
effects.
The estimated loss on building and
furniture is from $4,000 to $2500, and
was total, there being no insurance.
The blow was heavy and the many
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilcox deeply
sympathize with them in their great
loss. The fire originated in the kitchen
where dinner was being prepared, pre-
sumably from a defective fiue.
