New Cream Station Opens.

A representative of the Lewis
ton Ice & Cold Storage company
was in the city several days this
week opening a cream station
for his company at this place and
establishing a route for the COL
Letting of cream. Quarters for
the new station were secured in
the Schober building on Front
street and Frank Blackburn has
been placed in charge of the sta
ton and cream route for the rest
of the year. The Commercial
Cream Co. has also put a wagon
on the road since the new COM
pany entered the field and in
future the farmers will be able to
sell their cream on the place in
stead of having to haul it to
town.

Must Pay Poll Tax.

Many who heretofore have
come under the exemption clause
when it came to paying poll taxes
now find themselves up against
a new deal-a square one, no
doubt-in the shape of the new
highway district law. Under the
provisions of this law exemptions
are few and far between, and
total disability and age limit
(under 81 and over 50) seem
about the only excuses available
in lodging the issue. The old
poll tax law provided exemptions
for honorably discharged soldiers,
firemen, and many other able
bodied citizens, but the new high
way law specifically states that
all able-bodied men over the age
of 81 years and under the age of
so years. except soldiers who are
actively engaged in service and
firemen likewise employed, must
dig up" the big four dollars =
in cash-when the tax collector
comes or suffer the consequences
or words to that effect.
Those seeking exemption under
the disability clause must present
a medical certificate to that effect,
which certificate must be renew
ed each year. Free Press.

Governor Wilson in nomination That
was at ten minutes after TWO o'clock
Judge Westcott had just time to
bow to the chair and turn to the dele
gates when bedlam broke. Some one
proposed Three cheers for Governor
Wilson, and that was the match that
started the fire. The Wilson dele

made by Ollie James. the chairman,
to halt the demonstration at least I'M
til Judge Westcott got a chance TO
mention the name OF the candidate in
whose advocacy he had attempted to
speak. 1t was useless though to even
think of stopping the demonstration.

their efforts to start demonstration.
And they succeeded, for one after an.

GLIDING many who had joined in the
frenzied Clark demonstration earlier
in the night, had taken up the cry

Banners, flags, signs, posters and
emblems of every conceivable kind
were hosted into the air and waved
vigorously, stirring up enthusiasm.
The screaming and yelling increased
and so did the number of banners and
flags. From the balconies huge signs
bearing Wilson notices were hung
over the American flags that had been
used to. decorate the hall.
At 3.15 a m. the Wilson demonstra.

Clark people earlier in the session. 1t

some one brought an electric automo

err Underwood delegates. Underwood
banners and Underwood pictures were
held aloft, and the band played
Dixie" The demonstration lasted
20 minutes.
At 115O p. m. Arizona yielded to
Missouri, and Senator James D. Reed
spoke for the nomination Of Champ
Clark. This started a great demon
stration for Clark that lasted more
than an hour.
One of the marchers carried in
big rooster that was held on high by
an enthusiast who climbed into the
press stand. Meantime, the crowd
kept up terrific din, whistling, cheer
ing. and blowing horns. A score of
parti-colored umbrellas were raised,
and some of the spectators in the gal
leries began throwing improvised con-
fetti among the delegates. An attempt
was made to carry the Wilson ban
ners to the platform, following the ex-
ample of the Clark adherents, but the
officers of the Convention ordered
them down, and they continued their
parade about the hall Quiet was re-
stored at 100.

out of order, and In ucted him to

The unanimous consent which Mr.
Bryan had asked was finally granted
at the request of Senator Stone, OF
Missouri
From the platform Mr.. Bryan read a
typewriter statement saying he did
so for the reason that he did not want
to be misquoted It was a scathing
arraignment of Murphy and the inter
ests Bryan claims he represents, and
another effort to read Tammany out

to his resolution which the convention

said no candidate the party might

THAT ALL.NIGHT SESSION.
Scenes and Speechmaking Preceding
the Roll Call.

1t was a long night and a wild one.
Sunset came and Garkened the great
east windows OF the convention hall
with men talking OF candidates and
party principles. Sun-up ightened
the windows again to find men tired
but vOicetuI still, talking OF men and
principles. and strangest OF all, to
an audience OF fully 5000 persons,

and newspapermen, but the rest i'll

OF oratory nor repeated demonstra-
tons, each very like the other, could
drive away.
Twas such a night as old conyen-
TONERS could not remember 1t was
probably the most remarkable night
in the history OF the time honored
Democratic party.
Just when the convention was
about to proceed to put cand dates in
nomination tor the Presidency VIII
liam Jennings Bryan got the floor and
offered a resolution which declared in
substance that the money power, as
represented by J. 2. Morgan, Thomas
+. Ryan, and August Belmont, was en-
gagged in a conspiracy to purchase the
Pres dental nomination OF the con
ventIon. Mr. Ryan was sitting in the
convention as a delegate from Vir-

from New York. Mr.. Bryan's resolu-

the applause again. Utah solidihed
her vote and gave it all to Wilson.
The Wisconsin vote, which had
been divided, was also thrown en-
masse to Wilson. Mississippi's vote
was awaited with great interest. When
she refused to change and chung to
Underwood there was handclapping in
the Alabama delegation.
The break to Wilson came with a
rush after three ballots, in which Gov
ernor Wilson's vote went up with
meteoric swiftness. With 633 at the
conclusion of the forty-fifth ballot,
Governor Wilson's nomination became
g matter OF minutes.
AS the roll of the States started over
again on the forty-sixth ballot, Ala
bama led off as usual with twenty-four
votes for Underwood, and then there
came a sudden halt. Senator Bank

defeat of Mr. Bryan, will ever remain

was: rs it to be a bolt"
Among the leaders for the various
candidates, the Clark forces instantly
realized that if the Speaker was to
win he must do so in spite of Mr.
Bryan's opposition. The Wilson lead
ers knew they would have Bryan's
support, but would it suffice? Leaders
of other candidates were wondering
what form the alignment would take
when the deadlock between Clark and
Wilson should be broken.

Convention Hall, July Ex-Governor
Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, was
nominated by reclamation as the
Democratic candidate for President of
the United States by the National
Convention here amid thrilling scenes.
The great Convention had paused in
hreathless silence when, at the begin
ming of the forty-sixth ballot, Senator
eankhead, of Alabama. rose to with
draw Oscar w. Underwood's name as
q candidate. The Convention was al
most too excited to cheer at the an
nouncement, which meant that Viii
son had won, but there was an effort
at a demonstration which soon died
away as Senator Stone made his way
10 the platform and announced that
Speaker Clark released his delegates,
but that Missouri would stick to him.
This brought burst of cheering.

tide which had been rising with great
sWiftness for the New Jersey Cover
nor was now topping the 726 needed to
nominate if the Underwood men voted
for Wilson, and Senator William ].
Stone, of Missouri, appeared to release
Champ Clark's delegates.
Senator Stone said that the Speaker
released his delegates, but added
that Missouri would remain loyal to
her favorite son until the last hope
was gone. He said Missouri would
support the nominee, no matter who.
Mayor Fitzgerald, of Boston, hurried
up to announce that Massachusetts
delegates. who had been voting for
Eugene n. Foss, voted for Woodrow
Wilson. The landslide was on with
vengeance.
Mr.. Fitzgerald moved that the roll
call be dispensed with and the nomi-
nation OF Wilson be made by aCclama-
ton. The roll, however, was called to
record a final testimonial to Champ
Clark.
The last ballot resulted: Clark, 81,
Harmon, l., Wilson, 800.
Then came the shouts to make it by
reclamation, and cheers shook the
armory where the wearied loss had
been in session for a week with four
days of ballOtting.
A demonstration followed the nomi-
nation by reclamation. Delegates
paraded about in the hall, shouting
and throwing their hats into the air,
and the most important work OF the
Democratic Convention OF 1912 was
done
