SENATOR MASSEY

Governor oddie has made an ex
cellsnt second choice for United
States senator to fll the vacancy
caused by the death Of Senator
Nixon. George winSfield, who va.
hrst offered the senatorship. de-
clined the honor. In 50 doing he
diplayed much better judgment
than Governor Oddie did in NAM
ing him for the position.
In appointing Judge W. A. Mas.
sey to the senatorship. Governor
oddi. has placed ability and
character abnve wealth. Senator
Massey is counted as one of the
able lawyers of the State. He
has served the people as judge of
the supreme court and his record
on the bench is clean. He has
seen about as much of the ups and
downs Of life rs any man in the
state. He is full of pluck and
energy and we believe he will re-
present the state in the senate
chamber rs ably and we'll as any
republican Governor Oddie could
select.
The worst thing about Senator
Massey from democratic view
point is his politics. He trained
during the silver agitation with the
silver party and made noises like a
democrat, but when the silver
agitation died out he drifted back
into the republican party and
identified himself with its fortunes
But notwithstanding his politics.
the Independent believes that
Senator Massey will ably represent
the state at Washington until his
successor is chosen by the demo.
Gratis at the primary election and
the choice ratified by the next
legislature.
We congratulate Governor Oddie
in placing the intelligence of the
state above wealth by the appoint
mer Of Hon. ". A. Massey United
States senator.

CELEBRATION NEWS

Hon. E. j. L. Taber advises the
lndepenent that the following
charges for admission to tn. ball
game on July 3rd between the
Oeesa team and the Indians team
in the forenoon will be general
admission 20 cents. grand stand
seats 25 cents additional, and that
same price will he charged for the
afternoon game between the
winning team of the morning
game and the Lamoille team.
For the championship hall game
on the 4th which will be called at
! P. M and incluIing the riding
tournament and the flying by
Aviator. The admission fees will
be as follows. All men SI.OO. All
others including women and young
people so cents no charges will
b. made for very young children
or babies. Grand stand seats 25
cents extra.
For the game on the 5th the
same charges will be made as for
the games on the 3rd.
The committee regret that it is
absolutely necessary TO make any
admission charge whatever to
these events. but owing to the
heavy expense of moving the ball
park from its old location, erect
ing IT. building the new grand
stand and grading the grounds.
there is no other way to meet the
expenses incurred. The grounds
and grand stand would be a credit
to any city, the seats are comfort
able and perfectly safe. As the
riding tournament takes place in
the grounds and the hest view of
the flying machine can be had
from the grand stand. the admis-
sion charge which includes all these
events on the 4th cannot be con-
sidered too much.
The aviator will start his flight
near the west fence of the ball
rounds, fly towards the W. P. Ry.
shops, circles up and over the ball
grounds and land in the center of
them at the end of his fight.
The committee have had the
grounds and roads sprinkled as far
as the machine shops so that there
will be no dust, no matter how
much wind blows and can asure
all that every effort is being made
for their comfort, and that they
will receive full value for their
Ihoney.

WARM TIME At BALTIMORE

The democrats are having a
warm time at Baltimore. On the
l4th ballot. the convention was
dea locked with Clark il the lead.
Except for nm occasional frchrand
thrown by Bryan. the convention
has been harmonious. At this
distance, il looks as il Bryan is
dead set on a rule or ruin policy.
A dispatch received just be-
fore noon said that he had the
platform and was making another
speech. He seems to be as full
of specches MS Californian is OF
pruncs. The dispatch did not state
what the speech was about.
The rank and file of the party
throughout the country wants The
convention to act wisely and to
name standard bearers who can
unite all factions and win victt ry
in November. All the party de-
mauds is clean, able fearless states
men whose past records are n
guarantee Of future service.
