Only four ballots were necessary to-

presidency. When the convention ad-
journed last night the convention had
seemed to be in an all but hopeless
deadlock. Wilson had begun to lose
ground on the last few ballots, and
Champ Clark had made few tempor-
AIRY gains. This encouraged the speak
er to rush over to Baltimore from
Washington this morning in the hope
of still further turning the tide and
rallying his forces to final stand

That was the beginning OF the END;
it became apparent that Woodrow Will
son would be nominated, and his nom
ination followed shortly afterwards.
Mayor Fitzgerald, of Boston, follow
ed Stone. The convention was in an
almost continuous uproar. The Will
son forces already were celebrating
their victory. There no longer was
any doubt as to the result. Mayor
Fitzgerald withdrew the name of Gov.
Foss. of Massachusetts, from further
consideration and declared that "the
old Bay State" would fall in line for
Wilson.
Then a second Fitzgerald was rec
ognized. This time it was the con-
gressman from Brooklyn, a member
of the New York delegation. He
made a plea for harmony and ended
by suggesting that further roll call
be dispensed with and the nomination
of Wilson be made by acclamation.
New York, he said, was ready to vote
for the man the great majority Of the
delegates desired as their nominee.
Missourians Objected.
The faithful Missourians objected to
this plan because of their desire to
vote last time for Speaker Clark. 1t
was a foregone conclusion what the
result would be as the last call of the
States began.
Alabama, which had started. every
other call with "a, votes for Under
wood, changed to Wilson, and State
after State followed suit. II, was just
s:15 p. M, when the solid rs votes Of
Pennsylvania carried Wilson over the
winning line, making his total at the
time 733 votes.
The stampede did not end until $50
of 1,0SS votes in the convention had
been cast for the nominee.
Missouri, with her 36, had been join
ed on the last ballot for Clark by "a
of CALIFORNIA; 26 votes, by five dele
gates from Florida, two from Louisi-
ana, all six from Nevada, four from
New Jersey, the home State Of Gov.
Wilson; six from the District of Co
lumbia and one from Ohio. This little
handful readily joined in the chorus
of acclamation when Senator Stone
moved that the nomination be made
unanimous.
1t was 3.15 when Chairman James
officially declared Mr.. Wilson the
nominee of his party. There was an
attempt at another demonstration, but
the delegates were too tired to keep
it up long. Then, too, the local ap-
preparation for a band had run out
last Saturday night, and there was
no inspiring music to help along the
enthusiasm. In this respect the nom
nation was unique. Every one IN the
convention seemed in happy frame of
mind that the end had edne.
William j. Bryan, who had taken
absolutely no part in the proceedings
today other than to cast his vote, with
a majority of the Nebraska delegation,
for Gov. Wilson, was surrounded by
many admirers, but would say nothing
at the time. He said he would prepare
a statement later in the day.
Nominations for the vice. presidency
were in order, but no one had been
agreed upon, so it was decided that
a recess should be taken until. 9 p. ~,
when the vice president should be
named and the platform adopted. The
interim was devoted to conferences on

did not believe she could excel the
record of 13,943 feet set by Cares.
Exactly What Happened.
Discussing the matter of coming
down in the water, if the engine should
fail during the fight over The harbor,
Miss Quimby said to a friend just be-
fore she left the ground:
ga water landing is all right in
Bleriot unless you come down head
first. In that case the heavy motor at
the extreme forward end Of the ma
chine would drag the monoplane deep
into the water and sink it. But, if we
come down pancake the broad wings
would float us for two hours or more. :"
Then with bright smile she made
this significant remark:
-"But am a cat and don't I like cold
water"
Reached 5000 Feet.
The monoplane, painted a pure
white, darted at great speed over the
harbor. The motors developed a speed
at times Of from rs to 100 miles an
hour. An examination of the aneroid
barometer after the fall showed that
at times the daring pilot had darted
to height of 5000 feet. On the re-
turr the great machine was seen to
wobble in the gusty breeze.
Setting of the last act. Of the disas-
ter could not have been more specta-
cular. It. was sunset. The great
white wings of the machine swept di,
rectly into the west and dipped to-
wards the earth. There was an up
ward flash of the tail and, outlined in
the red light of the west the man
ane woman were seen to plunge from
their seats in the bay, 1000 feet be-
low-to death.

A. P. Willard, manager of the Boston
aviation meet at Atlantic tonight,
when her Bleriot monoplane fell into
Dorchester Bay from height of 1000
feet.
The accident happened when Miss
Quimby and Willard were returning
from trip over Boston harbor to Bos-
ton light, a distance of twenty miles
in all. The flight was made in 20
minutes. The Bleriot, one of the lat
est models of military moneplanes,
circled the aviation field and scared

just outside the aviation grounds.

and one of the gusts caught the tail
of the monoplane, throwing the ma

only five feet deep. Men from the
yacht club in motor boats were on
the spot quickly, and, leaping over
board, dragged the bodies out of the
mud into which they had sunk deeply.
Death probably was instantaneous.
Both bodies were badly crushed.
Several of Miss Quimby's bones were
broken and there were many large
bruises. Willard, who weighed 100
pounds, hit the water face first and
over the eye there was a cash from
which the blood was flowing. He, too,
sustained several fractures and
bruises.
When the victims were brought
ashore in motor boats they were taken
to- the Quincy hospital. A. Lee Ste
yens, of New York, manager for Miss
Quimby, and Miss Quimby's friend,
Mrs. Helen Vanderbilt, who were both
witnesses of the accident were pros

Before the Last Flight.
Before going up on their last fight
Miss Quimby and Mr.. Willard were
talking and laughing with their

would stand as a woman's high mark.

Chairman Hoffman of the Republi

Chairman Hoffman of the Republic
can state central committee, aroused
the northern part of the state a short
time ago by his published announce
ment that candidates for governor
should be regarded as non-sectional
as to location, and that the nomination
should be open to any good man. The
north contends that the southern part
of the state has had the plum for some
time, therefore it should belong to the
north this year. Chairman Hoffman
despite the bowls of the northern sec
ton Of the state is right. The Repub-
lican party cannot afford to say to any
section, 1.-THE governorship is yours
1t cannot afford to make the selection
a sectional matter, irrespective of the
qualifications of the candidates. The
coming campaign, while it is conceded
that a Republican victory is pretty
certain under normal condition, is not
going to be any easy task for the cam
paign committee. There is need to
place in nomination strong, clean-cut
business man who is not profession
al politician. The tax situation has
demonstrated that the next candidate
from the Republican party has to
have other qualifications than the Re-
publican machine brand. II the north
and the south can get together for the
common good, there is little that will
be needed to make the victory COM
plete. On the otherhand, there are
many Republicans who are not willing
to swallow anything that is handed to
them by small bunch of would-be
leaders. Nor are they willing to swal-
low anything that the northern politi-
clans may desire to serve up in the
next campaign. Equal division of the
spoils does not concern the rank and
file nearly as much as it does those
few who are continually at the public
service trough with one foot in.

chard it is too much like pulling
tooth to pull off one of these apples.
For this reason it is good discipline.
II you begin at that time and learn to
pull apples off in order to make great
er profits in the future, it will not be
hard to keep it up and properly thin
your fruit when the orchard reaches
the bearing age.
And even after all this is done, the
problem of fruit growing has not yet
been solved With a fine crop of
standard sized, sound fruit on his
trees, the orchardist faces the prob
lem of picking, packing and marketing
and right here there have been more
failures in the past than in any other
part OF the work, except possibly
spraying. l know two neighbors with
orchards side by side where one of
them received 21a cents per bushel for
his apples more than they cost, while
the other man received so, and right
at this point, let me tell you, comes
the parting Of the ways. 1t is one
business to handle ground. to cultivate,
to irrigate, to prune and to spray, and
lit is another business to grade and
market fruit, and in my travels

more and more satisfied that those
valleys which have been most uni
formly successful in the marketing of
their fruit are the ones that have
placed this part of the work in the
hands Of the business man regardless
OF his knowledge of the orchards and
soils. One of the best fruit handlers

is as helpless as baby when you get
him away from his warehouse and in
to the orchard, and on the other hand,
some of the worst failures in the mar

viously successful fruit growers.
The western orchardist has won
derful opportunity, the choicest soils,
the never-ending sunshine and an
| abundance of irrigation water are his.
Nature has been lavish in her bounties.
Everything that goes to make success
is before him. What he must furnish
is intelligent supervision, energetic
prosecutions, and a love of his call
ing, tempered by conservative business
sense. These are the essentials of
success in any line but in no line OF
human endeavor will they give greater

orchard in it's producing power. On
the other hand, in our peach expert
ments, we have found that the rows
that had the greatest amount of water
and made the largest wood growth,
Tim when it came time to mature the
fruit the immense amount of foliage
took up so much of the water that it
was impossible to develop the fruit to
the proper size. The happy medium,
therefore, is a sufficient amount of
water to develop a normal size tree
not an excess that develops water
sprouts, but an abundance at the time
when the fruit is ripening and the
fruit buds are developing.
l saw an orchard this year in which
everything that | have described to
you so far had been done and appar-
emily we'll done--the orchard was bear
ing from nine to twelve hundred BUSH
els of apples per acre and yet the crop
was practically worthless. There is,
therefore, one more factor to be con-
sidered, and that is thinning This
orchard was Gano, Jonathan, Ben
Davis orchard of about fifteen years
old, and each tree had three to five

little value and the trees were break
ing down and being ruined. If half or
two-thirds of those apples had been
thinned out in the beginning of the
season, the remainder would have pro-
duced crop as heavy as the trees
could bear of better developed and
standard size apples. There would
have been enough vitality in the tree
to develop fruit buds for another year
and everybody would have been happy.
AS it is, this crchardist got an i'm
mense crop of unstable fruit and next
year his orchard will not bear at all
since it is impossible for a tree to feed
fruit buds under such an excessive
load. Two or three cents expended in
thinning would have made SO cents
difference in the worth of these apples
in the fall.
And, by the way, while think of it,
let me suggest to you that you begin
thinning as soon as young trees first
begin to bear. The first year or so
that young orchard begins bearing
the crop is not worth the expense of
spraying and handling, the trees need
all of their energy to develop frame
work for carrying the loads of the flu
ture years and In every way it is bet
ter to pull off the few apples that ap-
pear here and there; and yet to the

Sho~ery weather continued during the
week. with the average temperature
about normal. but the week closes with
much warmer weather. Showers were
frequent and the rainfall heavy over
the western thirds of the state:
the largest amount of rainfall being
reported from the Missouri Slope,
where many stations received more
than three, and few more than four
inches. Slow progress was made in
threshing and stacking, and some grain
in shocks was more or less damaged by
wet, cloudy weather. Corn has made
fair growth, and over the western half
of the state has received sufficient
moisture to mature the crop. Late po-
tatoes also give promise of a good crop.

The Farmer and the Trusts

''While you were feeding the world,
congress was feeding the trusts.
In that one compact phrase, Gov.
Wilson stated the case of the farmers
of this country versus the republican
party.
Of the two billion dollars which the
tariff costs the consumers of this coun-
try each year, the farmer pays nearly
half-and gets nearly nothing.
The farmer exports considerable pro-
duce, even now.
The exporter can get no advantage
out of an import tariff unless he is in a
trust, which is able to charge higher
prices at home than it gets abroad.
The farmers of the country have
never been able to form a trust, and
never will be able to do so.
The farmer has fed the world. and
congress- republican congress has
fed the trusts. Yet now the republi-
can party asks another lease of power
that it may tame the trusts and en-
courage the farmer!-Chicago Journal.
