Early events of the convention
were the election of Judge Alton b
Parker, of New York temporary
chairman over William j.. Bryan
The vote was $40 to 5O7 and indi-
Gated that there would be no possi-
bic chance of Bryan winning a nom-
nation for the presidency. Ollie
James, of Kentucky was chosen tenn
pordry chairman of the convention.
The convention voted to release
delegates from the unit rule in sew
eral states, where they had been
elected by primaries in districts
which had given them instructions.
This gave Woodrow Wilson IS votes
in Ohio, which the Harmon people
had attempted to hold by a state
convention unit rule.
On Thursday the convention voted
to seat the Wilson delegates in
South Dakota, BUSTING the Clark
men who had been seated by the
credentials committee. New York
voted her 80 delegates with the Will
son forces and this gave the latter
much encouragement.
Nominating speeches were made
Thursday night, and two ballots TAX
en- Friday morning, showing a dead
lock between the candidates, after
which the convention recessed until
four o'clock Friday afternoon.
The first name presented to the
convention for the presidential rln-
nation was that of Oscar w. I'm

FOR PAPER QUIZ
Postal Inspector Arrives tc
Prosecute Investigation as
to Looney Publication.
COURSE TO BE PURSUED
Department Defines What Appears as
Scurrilous in Passing Through
the Mails.

Postal Inspector d. F. Angler ar
rived last evening from Chicago and
this morning began his investigation
OF the Looney publication. the chsrac-
ter of matter contained in 1t, and who
Is responsible for the publication. His
investigation not only includes the at
tack by the sheet upon Mayor H. M.
Schriver of two weeks ago, but dates
back over a period of several months.
1t is understood that the Ramser case
will come under his observation.
When he has compiled his data, In
spector Angler will go TO Springfield
t. present 1t before Federal District
Attorney w. A. Northcott, who then
will be called upon to further the case
should he find grounds for prosecution.
1t is probable that the district attor-

ney will file information before the
next federal grand jury at Peoria, to
convene the latter part Of this month.
BASIS FOR PROSECUTION.
Should the courts take up the prose
cution Of John Looney, publisher of
the sheet, 1t will take into considera-
ton the question of obscene and sour
rilous character of the items. In or
der to pass Judgment on those mat
tiers, the court will take into consider
alton whether the items which
appeared in the sheet created
the impression of wrong doing, or
whether they would have a tendency
TO create filthy and wrong ideas in the
minds OF readers, especially the young
er mind, which is more susceptible to
receiving Impressions from suggestive
literature.
WHAT Is NECESSARY TO PROVE.
In order to convict on a charge of
scurrility, 1t will be necessary to prove
the attempt to defame, or threat. If
the scurrilous article is contained on
the front page or wrapper, the man
responsible for the article is guilty Of
otfense, say the postal authorities, but
IL IL is on an inner page, or on the
front page, and a wrapper over it,
there Is no offense in the eyes of the
law.
The penalty for offending the postal
laws IS a fine of $4,000, or FIVE years
Imprisonment, or both.

Most merchants realize the value of
attractive, original window displays
in connection with their seasonable
trade, The store window is at all times
one Of the most valuable store adjunets
and trade-getters that the merchant

displays always draw the attention of
the shopper, and If, besides being at

have more talent along this line will
devote little earnest thought and
tire to getting up series of attractive
suggestive and original displays, he
will find that it will tend to materially
increase his results.
