 Clark having a long lead on the other candidates has luled a strong favorite. Each of the other candi- dates has a distinctive and aggrps- Sive opposition.
 To Clark there is no opposition only from the friends of the other aspir. ants for the nomination.
 A nomination cn the first ballot is not yet certain. Each state has a favorite son to hear from. Indiana will vote on the first ballot for Gov ernor Marshall, four Southern states will vote fer Oscar Underwood. New Jersey will support Professor Wilson, and few states carried by the Pro lessor in the primaries will join with them, the most important being Texas and Pennsylvania Ohio will cast her vote for Governor Harmon.
 On the first ballet the New York delegat on may pay Gaynor the passing tribute of a vote, although this had not yet beer decided upon when the delegation met last night.
 The Empire State, however, wilt switch to Clark on the second ballot and will not throw it's, first vote to Gaynor unless it is clearly under stood that there is to be TO nomna, tion on the first ballot.
 The Clark instructed states, which had been 433 delegates to the conven tion, will, of course, vote soiidly for the Speaker. This will give him a lead, which, ill the op nion of his supporters, nothing can counteract Illinois will vote her solid delegation of 5S for Speaker Clark under the unit rule and Missouri with 36, Iowa with 26, California with 26, and Mas sachuset. S with 26 will do likewise.
 This has been day of conferences of taking tally of delegates or at tempts to restore the harmony that for a few minutes was not entirely unallayed.

RATES
 TO BE REDUCED

Effective July 1, the Western Un- ion Telegraph Co.,, will materially re- duce telegraph rates for messag ges transmitted between points for which the present rate is 40 cents per 10 words. The rate after the above date will be 30 cents for 10 words. For instance the present rate from Pine Bluff to Jonesboro, Ark, is 40 cents. The future rate will be 30 cents.
 This action was recently taken by the Executive Committee of the Vest ern Union owing to complaints and protests from the public against the telegraph rates. 1t is to be expected that the public at large will appre- ciate this reduction in rates and that their appreciation will be shown in an additional file of telegraphic busi- ness.

 Senator Ollie James, of Kentucky. mas been agreed upon as permanent l chairman of the convention. At the request of Mr. Bryan, the drawing up of the Platform will be deferred until after the nomination. There were many empty seats on the floor and in the galleries when the hour sounded for the beginning of the night session.
 Chairman Parker mounted his perch on the stroke of eight. His ar rival was absolutely unnoticed. At $50 Chairman Parker rapped for or der. The Rev. D. 0. Grouse, of the Methodist Episcopal church, offered prayer.
 Then Chairman Parker devoted sev- eral minutes to quelling disorder caused by few helated delegates.
 
 Soon after he recognized Chairman Covington, of the Committee on Rules Chairman Covington took the plat form and read his report.
 It declared for the presentation of the report of the Committee on Cred entials first and urged that the Res olutions Committee should not report until after the candidates for Presi- dent and Vice President were nom mated.
 The Rules Committee report was adopted by the convention With un- animity.
 Later Chairman Covington offered a majority resolution report from his committee, primarily for rule that all instructed delegations should fol- low instructions so long as a major ity of members of the delegations are of the opinion that such instructions are applicable.

 Representative Henry then took the floor.
 .'The Democratic party must not strike a blow at the right of the peo- ple who govern themselves and their party after this through direct pri- maries.' he said. Henry then submit ted the minority report, requiring the chairman of the convention to recog- nize and enforce the unit rule except on states where delegates were in structed in their first primaries.
 John w. Peck, of Ohio, denounced the minority resolution as awfully drawn, declaring it is aimed at Ono Then Peck mentioned the Governor of New Jersey.

COY. HARMON GETS
 A DEATH BLOW Adoption of Unit Rule By Convention Puts Ohioan
 Out of the Running.
NEW YORK WAS LOYAL,
But Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Ot.,. CT States Deserted Him at
 Last Moment.

Baltimore, Md, June 26.-Judge Harmon probably received his death blow as a presidential possibility to- night, when by a vote of 555 1-2 to 4So 2-o the convention abrogated the unit rule.
 The governors managers insisted that report in favor of enforcing the unit rule in all cases should be adopt ed. They succeeded in securing the cooperation of New York and other states which yesterday made Alton B. Parker temporary chairman, but Pennsylvania, Texas, Wisconsin, and other states deserted at the last mo- ment and the anti-unit rulers won a substantial victory.
 The Clark managers said tonight that the chances of the nomination of the speaker have been greatly en- hanced by the annulment of the unit rule, which has prevailed in every na- tional convention for half century where state delegations have been in- structed for a single candidate.
 Bryan shouters cheered and yelled Wall Street. when Charles F. Mur- phy threw the 90 votes of New York for the maintenance of the unit rule. The Clark delegates cried Shame, Shame at those who were responsible for the Outburst.

Baltimore, June 26-iBefore mid night Thursday the Democratic na- tlcnal convection, will, in all D. .b- ability, have named the next presi- dent Of the United States. Only an unforeseen contingency can delay the nominat on.

 The platform upon which the candi. date will make his canvass will be thoroughly Progressive and every element of the party is now persuad- ed tha5 Progressive platform is es- sential to success. The platform is now in the hands of the Committee on Resolutions of which John w. Kern, candidate for vice president four years ago. is chairman.

 We'll Known Here
 William Pretorious was well ana favorably known in this city and had many friends in this county, whele he lived for fifteen years. He made nls> s>headquarters at Cornerstone, put spant much Of his time in this city. While here he lived with Dr. ". w. Harrison and family and afser Dr. Harrison moved to this city he took South Olive street, and the members of the Harrison family were greatly attached to him. They were shocked last night when informed of his tragic act.
 MT.

sand of population. These states are
probably better provided with institu-
tions than most other states and be-
sides have patients from other states.
The District of Columbia exceeds both
of these states in the number of pa
tients in institutions, for the District
contains the government hospital,
which draws patients from a much
wider area than any of the states. The
number of the insane in hospitals for
the insane in the states south and west
is much less than in the east. In the
states west of the Mississippi river,
owing to rapid increase in population
largely from the eastern states, the
number of insane is less, says The
Journal of the American Medical AS
sociation, because the population rep
resents class in which insanity is
less prevalent; also provision for the
care of insane in these states prob
ably has not kept pace with the in
crease in population.

such asylums. The number of insane
in asylums per one hundred thousand
of population in 1904 was 1862; in
1910 it was 203.S. The annual com
mitments per one hundred thousand of
population increased from 615 in 1904
to 65.9 in 1910, showing an increase of
"A in 1910. This, of course, includes
only those committed to hospitals; and
the increase may be due to an exten-
sion of this method of care for the in
sane and also to the increase in the
number of institutions, which amount
ed to 13 per cent. Massachusetts had
the largest number of insane patients
in institutions on January /, 1910,
amounting to 344.6 per one hundred
thousand of population, while New
York had 34S1 per one hundred thou

honestly listed their property. The
law required all property to be assess.
ed at its true value in money but that
was a dead letter, and no one ever
thought that it could be enforced until
Governor Harmon declared that it
should be obeyed.
First, Mr.. Terry says, real estate as
SCISSORS were sent out with orders to
list property at its true value; tax
commission was appointed for the pur-
pose of getting utilities assessed on
the same basis. The assessed valua-
ton of public utilitie was increased
81 ,000,000,000, while enormous in
creases were made to other property
To prevent public officers using the
large duplicates to get large sums of
money for evtrayagant purposes, a law
was finally put through limiting the
tax rate to / per cent plus what was
needed for sinking fund and interest
on the same. Concluding his article
Mr.. Terry said:
And real estate was assessed or 3
times as high as formerly. There was
some anxiety to find out whether this
would result in a heavier burden on
farmers, or enough personal property
be added to duplicate the matter all
right. The result has been better than
we even hoped for We nave just paid
our taxes. The rate was $3.50 on
$1,000 Last year it was SIT. The
value of our farm was raised about
$4,000 But we pay less taxes on it
this year than last, owing to the great
decrease in the rate. But it is on per-
sonal property that the heaviest gains
were made. There was no raise in the
valuation of that for us. We put in all
tnat was subject to taxation last year,
as well as this, of course. And we
paid only $3.50 instead of SIT per
81 900. So ou rtaxes altogether are
not much more than half what they
were last year. This, because law and
justice has been enforced, largely. All
honor to the man who insisted on its
being done, who made pledges before
and kept them. 1t is a great
gain for righteousness. When we peo-
pie drop parties and vote for upright |
men, who have record for doing
things for the good of the masses, we
can get our wrongs righted. Although |
a strong republican in the past, am
proud to say voted for Governor Har-
mon, the man, not the party

Number Of insane in Institutions In
The United States.

A special census of 372 institutions
for the care Of the insane was taken by
the United States census bureau in
1910, and the number of insane per-
sons in the institutions on January 1
of that year was found to be 1S7,454.
The number admitted during 1910 was
6O,603 and the number discharged was
$3.50. A special census taken in 1904
showed the number in institutions to
be 150,151 and the number of persons
committed during that year was 1882.
In the six years from 1904 to 1910
there was an increase of 37,303, or PAS

Low Taxes in ohio.

Columbus, O., Jan. 29.-Ohio tax col
lectors are taking from one-fourth to
one-half less taxes this year from farm
ers, and the latter are feeling even
more friendly to Governor Harmon
than they did in 1910, when the rural
communities contributed the largest
portion of that 100000 majority, whicn
was given the Ohio executive Credit
is rightfully given Governor Harmon
for an equalization of taxes, which has
shifted unjust burdens from farmers
and home owners to interests that had
not been paying as much as they
should.
As figured by the state tax commits
sion, which was appointed by Cover
nor Harmon, the average rate of tax
alton on Ohio farming land this year
is 6 mills. Taxes are being paid in the
state on this basis. The average rate
is less than one half what is was in
former years, and farmers have re-
ceived reductions in taxes that aggre-
gate thousands of dollars annually
