horses were all purchased in the
northern part of the county, except
a few from Burleigh county, and
they weighed from 1900 to / 500
pounds, each. With the local price
for horses being fairly good and a

of that, it is at once apparent that

The Braddock and EIazelton schools

improved work this year with the

high-scnool work. there is still ample
work for another teacher. The same
lis true with the Hazelton schools.
1t costs a great deal of money to
run high.schools. and. in spite Of the
fact that very good work is being
done, we should consider that
the more time principal has to de.
vote to supervising his school the
better will the school be, although
the cost will be greater. A princl-
/ pal is, as the name designates, the
head of the school. He should have
time to talk over work in the various
departments with the several teach
ers. This tends to unity the work
and assists toward getting better
material for the high school. A
school doing ten years work should
have at least five teachers.

The storm lasted only short time,

an almost miraculous escape from

laFoIlette Roasts Roosevelt.

The all-night session of the conven-
tion was picturesque in many ways.
In all there were about eight hours of
ora,ory and demonstr ations. The
Clark and Wilson forces were in the
principal contests in the struggle to
see which would keep up the cheering
the longest. The Clark demonstration,
the first big one of the evening, lasted
one hour and I've minutes.
The Wilson people, when their turn
came, declined to quiet down until af-
ter they had passed the Clark record
and added about ten minutes to it.
MIR. Bryan as an ultim ate candidate
was but little discussed, although some
continue to regard him as possibil-
ity. This has developed q singular
divergence of views between the two
strong ments-the south and New
York. The south would prefer Wilson
to Bryan, while New York would pre-
fer Bryan to Wilson.

Bryan Stirs Democratic Convention,

Bryan Stirs Democratic Convention.
BALTIMORE. June %. - William
Jennings Bryan last night led the
democratic convention 10 q declara
tion of progressives unheard of In
political history. A resolution in
troduced by him, which was passed
by a two-thirds majority, declared
the convention opposed the nomina-
ton OF any democrat under obltga-
tions to J. Pierpont Morgan, Thomas
F. Ryan, August Belmont or any
"privilege seeking class"
The convention was thrown into an
uproar by the proposition, which as
originally introduced called for the
withdrawal of Ryan and Belmont
delegates from Virginia and New
York respectively.
This part of the resolution was re-.
sented as invading the rights of SOW
ereign states; and when its full import
became known boos and cat-calls, jeers
and Kisses were mingled with hand
clapping, cheers and stamping of feet
in the galleries and on the floor
Representative II. D. Flood of Vir
ginia. dram atically characterized the
proposition as insolent, and said II
came from "the only man who de-
sired to destroy the democrat
party"
Mr.. Bryan made the situation even
more dram attic by asking Virginia and
New York to require q modification O
the resolution, and when they scorned
the suggestion he took that course
himself. He withdrew that part OF tht
resolution calling for the withdrawal
of Delegat Ryan and Belmont.
From that moment the sentimen
changed, and the voting indie ated tina
Mr.. Bryan retained his hold upor

New York's 80 votes which yester.
day went to the Clark.Harmon COM
bination we're today cast in unit for
the Wilson delegates. The announce
ment of New York's vote was greeted
with cheers from the Wilson delegates.
Montana's eight votes went for the
Wilson delegates.
The progressives in the convention
claimed q notable victory last night
when they carried a motion abrog ating
the rule by which some state delega-
tions were bound to cast their vote as
unit.
The fight for and against the unit
rule was waged particularly about the
state of Ohio, where eighteen district
delegates had been instructed by pri-
maries to vote for Woodrow Wilson,
but where the state convention, con.
trolled by the Harmon forces, had
invoked the unit rule, binding all
Ohio delegates to the Ohio governor.
The convention, by vote OF 565a to
49I4, voted that no state deleg alton
should be bound by the unit rule ex-
cept in such cases where Q state law
was mand atory on the subject.
