TAFT and SHERMAN NOMINATED
ON FIRST BALLOT AT CHICAGO
ROOSEVELTS NAME PLACED BEFORE The CONVENTION lO7
DELEGATES VOTING FOR HIM-34 REFUSE TO VOTE
-TAFTS VOTE Is 2l MORE THAN NECESSARY

Chicago, June 24.-With 344 of
Roosevelt delegates declining to vote
and fastening away at adjournment
time to tender Colonel Roosevelt the
nomination of the new party, the
fifteenth republican national conven-
tion, at the end of long and tumult-
uous session Saturday night, renomi-
mated William H. Taft for president
and James S. Sherman for vice-presi-
dent.
When Chairman Root declared
nominations for president of the
United States in order, Warren G.
Harding of Ohio took the floor to
re-nominate President Taft.
The first mention of Taft's name
in Harding's nomination speech was
the signal for a wild demonstration
on the floor and galleries, which con-
tinued for fifteen minutes. Later,
when Harding referred to Taft as the
greatest progressive of his time. the
demonstration threatened to break
out anew
The Roosevelt supporters heck
led" Harding throughout most of his
speech, Kissing and booing his ora
tory, hurting taunting questions at
him during his pauses, meant to be
effective in parts of his peroration.
A delegate in the back of the hall
footed vigorously on a steam roller
whistle when Harding made refer

SCENE SHIFTS

SEMBLES TOMORROW.
LEADER OF PROCRESSIVES
Fight Bears Similarity to Chicago
Struggle With Conservatives Win
ming Initial Steps-No Candidate
Has Sufficient Votes.

With the closing of the Chicago
convention, the scene of activity in
political circles has shifted to Balti-
more, where the democratic conven-
tion assemblies tomorrow. William
j. Bryan, the peerless leader of de-
mocracy for the past sixteen years.

the past ten days an interested spec-
tator OF the acts of the republicans.
early Sunday morning and is now
bending every effort to make the
progressive wing of the democratic
party the controlling element of the
convention. Mr.. Bryan, as a control
ing force in democracy, is a problem
for the conservative forces. and his
elimination is being made the object
OF the strongest endeavOr on the part
OF the conservatives, as championed
by Charles f. Murphy of Tammanv
Hall and Judge Alton b. Parker, who
has been successful in securing the
appointment as temporary chairman
OF the convention. Mr.. Bryan has
given vent to his feelings against the
selection of Parker ana the fight be-
tween the two factions of the party
promises to take very much the same
course as that in the republican con-
vention.
The present standing of the vari-
Gus candidates presents perplexing
problem, not one of the half dozen
aspirants having the required two
thirds delegates pledged Champ
Clark, who leads, has but 4O6 while
Governor Woodrow Wilson is his
nearest competitor with 315. Har-
mon and Underwood are contenders
for the honofs, but neither can boast
hundred delegates, while a few
scattering votes will be accorded
other candidates. With 72S votes
necessary for choice, an early settle
ment of the nomination is hardly
possible. Conjectures as to the out
come seem to favor a dark horse, and
above all candidates for this role
stands William ]. Bryan. Mayor
Gaynor of New York is also being
put forward by his friends. But Mr..
Bryan may be found too progressive
for the delegates, and in this centers
the fight

LOST IN CRATER FORESS.
Globe Trotter Sees Lake-AImost
Loses Life.

John Grieve, pioneer of the Pros
pect country and well-known citizen
of Central Point, came down from
the upper country last Tuesday with
a story of more than ordinary inter-
est, having to do with a young Chi
cago man who recently started from
the Windy City on tour of the
world, travelling west.
E. w. Brown is his name and his
main object in making the trip is to
study the poultry business in the vari-
Gus parts of the globe and to see the
many points of interest en- route.
Since leaving Chicago MIR. Brown Wis
tied Yellowstone Park and portions
of California. Starting north, he felt
the call of Crater Lake, and although
too early in the season for a safe at
tack, he attempted to storm the cita-
dals of that silent land alone. He
made the rim of the larke all right
but was unable to make the descent
to the water line. After safely ne
gotiating the trip back to the govern
ment camp he tried to take the trail
for Prospect. Eight feet of snow,
however, made trail finding difficult
and for three days and nights the
young man struggled through the
slush and snow without foodN or fire.
Finally when almost ready to lie
down and die he was found by a party
of cattlemen who were returning
from klamath and by them was
brought to the Grieve Hotel at Pros
pect, where he was given every atten-
ton. Brown was crazed by his awful
experience and it was only after two
or three days of careful nursing and
attention that he was able to tell his
story. He will continue his globe
tour as soon as he is fully rested, but
does not expect to encounter any
more strenuous experience than that
which came to him on the upper
reaches of the Rogue between Crater
Lake and Prospect

REHEARING DENIED.
Naturalization Case i'm Tacoma
Causes Considerable Interest.

Tacoma.-United States Judge
Hanford has denied motion for re-
hearing in the case OF Leonard Ols-
son, the socialist, whose naturaliza-
tion papers were revoked on the
ground that they were obtained by
fraud. Olsson's motion was support
ed by District Attorney McLaren on
orders of the attorney general.
The case figured prominently in
the charges preferred by Representa-
tive Berger in making congress begin
impeachment proceedings against
Hanford.
Hanford ruled that the facts stated
in the petition were not sufficient
for the reopening of the case. He
set forth that the supreme court of
the United States had, in what he
styled the Johansen case. held il was
the power and duty of the courts to
revoke citizenship papers where
fraud was practiced upon the court
at the time of issuance of the papers.
He declared evidence of such fraud
existed in the OLSON case.

MEAT QUESTION TROUBLES.
MedfOrd Council Unable to Deter
mine Course With Market.

The public market in Medford,
while a great success, is as hard to
keep up with as the standing of the
teams in the Northwest League At
the present time the city council is
worrying over the meat question.
They consumed over an hour of
Thursday afternoon council meeting
in heated debate over the merits of
the question. Mitchell seemed to be-
the obdurate one, as Mayor Canon
said, the Roosevelt of the council"
Medford butchers state that the
council is granting special privilege
to one man in allowing him to sell
meats. They are of the opinion that
the council should allow them to have
stall in the market, where, away
from rents and other expenses. they
claim that they can furnish meat as
cheap as any one. The councilmen
are not wholly opposed to this, but
declare that they wish to afford the
farmer an opportunity to sell his
meats direct.
At the present time the council
claims that the farmers, being too
busy in haying, will not bring in
meats, and the long line of people
who gather in the market must be
kept supplied with the staple of food.
AT the next meeting of the council
some action will be taken which
members hope will settle the question
to a finality.

Ladies Booster Club Will Hold An
other Meeting TOnight-SeveraI
Lodges viii Enter Floats.

That the parade scheduled for the
Fourth of July Celebration will be
the biggest thing of its kind ever
pulled off in southern Oregon is a
matter that admits of no discussion.
The Ladies' Booster Club has the
matter in hand and they report more
than usual interest. Practically
every lodge in the city is planning
to enter the parade with some man
ner a loaf, while business houses are
entering into the spirit of the cele-
bration with unanimity. The ladies'
have called another meeting for this
evening in the library rooms and a
large attendance is desired. Other
features of the celebration are receiv-
ing equally enthusiastic attention and

Kansas has been secured for the ora
tion of the day, which will be given
in the morning in the Chautauqua
building. Appropriate music will be
supplied and the exercises will not
be so long as to interfere with the
sports of the day.
AS originally planned, there will
be something doing at every moment
OF the day. The advertising force
has been constantly at work, both
north and south, and on every hand
comes assurance that the entire coun-
try will flock to Ashland on the great
day.

ASSOCIATION MEETS.
Henry KOfeldt is Named as Assistant
Manager.

The Ashland Fruit and Produce
Association held a special meeting
last Friday evening to elect an assist
ant manager. The action of the as
sociation was made necessary by the
prospect that Mr.. Lininger will soon
er or later retire from active work
IN connection with the institution, he
having recently purchased an interest
in the Ashland Preserving Works.
which will require his personal atten-
tion. Mr.. Kofeldt will begin work at
once and learn the business under
the guidance of Mr.. Lininger and will
succeed to the position of manager
upon the retiring of Mr.. Lininger.
The Ashland association is at pres
ent the best managed and the best
paying institution of its kind in this
valley. Mr.. Lininger has had active
charge of the institution for about
six years, during which time the rep
utation of the association for hand
ling the best of fruits in the best
manner has steadily grown and today
its output is in demand all over the
coast, and even at this date several
carloads of peaches are already sold.
The retirement of Mr.. Lininger will
be matter of universal regret in the
light Of these facts, for to him is
largely due the present standing of
the association.
Mr.. Kofeldt brings to the work his
wonderful energy and unlimited ca
pacity for work. He came here two
and a half years ago and bought the
MGGganUar nlqpn
which he has improved to such an
extent that it is now one of the finest
places of its size to be found in the
vicinity 1t is his intention and de-
sire to put into the new work the
same energy that made possible the
transformation in1-,hfs home. Mr..
Kofeldt states that he will do all in
his power to keep up the present high
standard of excellence of the associa-
ton.

CHEROKEE PERFECT ALPHABET
Oklahoma Editor Gains Possession of
Entire Plant.

j. S. Holden, editor and owner of
the Fort Gibson (Okla) Post has
purchased for $151 the type, plant
and fixtures of the old Cherokee Ad-
vocate, the only newspaper publishedd
in the North American Indian tongue.
1t will probably be placed in some
state institution, where it will be pre-
served as the greatest Indian relic of
the commonwealth.
1t was recently reported that this
outfit was to be sent to Washington,
D. c., and the printers of Oklahoma
will be glad to learn that it is to be
kept within the borders of the state.
IN connection with the purchase it is
stated that the Cherokee alphabet is
the nearest perfect of any devised by
man.

CHECKS UP LICENSES.
Accountant Finus County Books in
Excellent Condition.

Seth L. Roberts of Crandall &
Roberts, accountants of Portland, has
completed the work of checking up
receipts in the county clerks office
for fishing and hunting licenses. He
is travelling over the state checking
up each county for the state fish and
game commission. Mr.. Roberts states
that he found everything in this
county in excellent condition aside
from one or two clerical errors.
This is the first time that such
work has been undertaken by the
state officials. 1t is calculated to
place the fishing and hunting funds
upon a more businesslike basis.

the report that her husband had
been arrested this afternoon on a

An early lead taken yesterday

Bloomfield out of the box in the
third inning, gave Tacoma the

one In the third.
