WILSON is NEXT PRESIDENT!
A CON ESCAPES
FROM CAMP

Sometime during the night
James Snider, a convict at the
road camp near Reno escaped
from the enclosure and has not
been located up to this time.
Snider with twenty-five others
othes are employed on, the
road gang near Reno. and was
regarded as a trustie. He was
sentenced from Churchill Coun-
ty for one year and had served
the best part of the term. Just
why he left is hard to figure as
should he be caught he will
be in close confinement and be
compelled to serve the full
term with all credits gone.
1t was not until this morn
ing that he was missed when
word was Immediately sent to
Reno and this city and other
points to be on the lookout
for the man. 1t is believed
that he took to the hills to the
east of the camp and is max
ing for the railroad by that
route.
Before being placed with
the honor crew he was espec-
tally recommended by the
Churchill people and was
good worker and evidently try :
ing to make good.
This is the first man that
has escaped under Warden <
Cowing and he is now busy on :
the trail in the endeavor to To-
cate the runaway. 1t is to be
hoped that this violater of law (
and confidence will be recap
tured and taught lesson. He
is one of the class that won't <
make good and deserves all <
that is coming to him.

IT'S OUR TURN
TO HURRAH!

THE Appeal is highly elated
to-day and has a perfect right
to be. The man whom We
picked from the first and have
stuck to through what at times
looked hopless, has won out a.
the Baltimore Convention and
We are ust as certain now thai
Woodrow Wilson will be the
next President of these Unit
ed States as we have been that
he would be the nominee.
The Appeal picked Wilson
at first because we admired his
clean record, We admired mis-
stand for right, we admired
him personally. The Appeal
advocated him before the pri,
maries and went to the State
Convention as a delegated in
structed for him.
The Appeal has won out all
along the line and claims the
privilge of hurrahing to-day be-
cause we have earned it.

Champ Clark Withdraws from the
Race After Giving Up Hope
and the Fight is Ended
GREAT VICTORY FOR BRYAN

The Democratic convention at
Baltimore held its regular night scs-
sion last night but apparently accom-
plished little in the way OF naming
selection ior President to head the
National ticket. Since yesterday
Woodrow Wilson has made steady
gains. Not by leaps but gradually
winning OF delegates from one state
after the other. 1t Is this steady
growth that has brought him up in
the betting and makes him look like
the winning candidate. At no time
since his name was presented has
he declined in the balloting. Dur
ing last evenings balloting Champ
Clark fell to 422 votes, the lowest in
his tally since the balloting opened.
Wilson at the 40th ballot reached
5Olll, his greatest record of ycster
day
The forty second ballot last night
showed no net results 4. Wilson had
lost FIVE votes and Clark had gained
two. At l2:45 a motion to adjourn
was made and before the roll call
could be completed the motion had
carried The delegates adjourned
until noon on Tuesday, when II 5
hoped few ballots will settle the
question.
Delegates Want Instructions
BALTIMORE. July i.--Senator
Newlands being interviewed tonight
said
"The Nevada delegation appointed
Hillman chairman OF the delegation
and Belford on the platform commit
tee. Rclford kindly asked me to act
in his place.
The discussion OF the platform
was interesting and the platform i
mp TO every progressive requirement.
THE present condition OF things
is somewhat embarrassing.
"The Instructions Of the Nevada
convention declared for Clark a
long as he is candidate.
THE DELEGATES have stood true to
their Instructions. The only question
is whether the Nevada democracy de
sire to give them any discretion III
order to meet the changing condi-
lions.
If so ! suggest that the demo
cratic delegates in the various coun-
tics to the state convention inform
the national delegates as to their
views"
BALTIMORE. July 2.-The Dem
ocratic National Convention met AT
noon today. 1t was just one week
ago that the delegates assembled
and many of them showed the work
of the strenuous week. There was
an air OF confidence spread about the
great armory and members were
busy cliatterng before the roll call.
II was early whispered that the VIII
son forces had carried several points
and the Clark men were seen to be
busy hustling his advocates into line.

Clark since they dropped Harmon

A NICE PROGRAM

II. +. Remington came down from
the Comstocll this morning and spent
the day in this city attending to bust
ness matters. Mr.. Remington com
piled. published and printed the Off
cial program for the Virginia celc-
bration and turned out a very credit
able piece OF work both from an in
formation standpoint and sample
OF the printers ability. The pro-
gram is printed in colors and is a
very nice piece OF work.

CATION seemed to be worrying the
Ryan faction.
When Chairman Ollie James called
the convention to order it was plan
to be seen that some arrangement
had been made that would put 2 lit-
ferent aspect on the convention.
After the benediction and the roll
call the matter OF taking the 45 bal
lot was on.
Breaking for Wilson
On the 43 ballot a, the names of
the states we're called there wa 4

When it came to Illinois = OF the
votes that had been drifting else

marked the break in the program.
Several other small votes drifted into
the New Jersey camp and by the time
the roll was finished Wilson had
passed the FIVE hundred mark again.
Clark had lost p votes and HarmOn
was in the rear in the running. It
was a clear gain for Wilson.
Nearing the End
The call for the 44th ballot "a,
taken up. The chairman Of the III.
nois delegation was evidently giving
instructions, When it came to he
big state the chairman announced
that the So votes OF Illinois were for

Many left their seats while par,i,

took half and hour to quiet the dele

West Virginia was reached the 10
votes that had been with Clark since
the first were cast Tor Wilson. Viii
son had gained 90 votes in the two
ballots taken in the morning. I he
result of the 44th ballot was Wilson
6O2. Clark 327. This practically set
tied the race.
Made Unanimous
1t was conceded that Wilson had
the nomination in hand. Hurried
conferences took place. There was
quick signal from the Clark forces
and before the 46th ballot could be
called it was announced that Champ
Clark had withdrawn from the race.
The other candidates >quchly follow
ed. The scramble to clear the decks
for the Wilson nomination did not
take long. One after the other the
field was clear for the New Jersey
Governor. \ motion was put to make
the nomination unanimous It was
seconded and when the roll came

New York stock Market.

Wall St, New York Oct. 24.-STOCKS-
Stocks moved narrowly in the early part
of todays market session. Trading was
again very light with a preponderance OF
bear sentiment among the professional
element The advance in the German dis
count rate served as an other reminder OF
the tense foreign financial situation. Mar
Americans generally lower in London. Hill
issues were heaviest of the representative
issues here, other speculative stocks
fIuctuated moderately Money holds firm
with slight recession in the opening for
call loans.
Bonds were steady.
The movement of prices at the opening
of today's stock market reflected further
irregularity. Hill issues and Canadian

Steel and a few other active issues re-
corded slight gains. Trading was mod
crate.
Renewed selling forced prices down
again to the low level of the forenoon
Several specialties showed acute weakness
Distillers falling 8 and Texas company 3
points.
Reading was the only feature of the late
ness being the more marked in contrast
to the general heaviness of other active
issues.
The tone of the market in the first hour
suggested further uncertainty with in
creasing bearish sentiment. Republic Iron
and Bethlehem Steel were among the few
strong issues.
The market closed firm. Stocks were
not much affected by the late rise in

Ninth street stairway, and took off
their coats. They waited abreast in
the roadway.
GO" shouted the girl.
Up sprang the youths, three steps t
a time. At the third flight a startled
pedestrian pressed himself against the
rail as the runners went by. Passers-
by halted to watch the two coatless,
hatless men racing up the steep stair
way. Nip and tuck they reached the
drive above. Along it's oiled surface
they staggered to the Tenth street
steps, breathing like Marathoners.
Traffic Halted by Race.
In the dusty roadway below team
sters stopped their wagons to watch
tie race and travellers IN the Union
station gazed at the two toiling figures
on the steep face of the bluff. Miss
Ellison ran along Bluff street, forget
ting the coats, forgetting everything
in the excitement of the contest.
Anxious minutes passed. Now she
could see the blue shirt, and now the
white one. She could not tell which
was ahead.
Finally from the stone coping at the
end of Tenth street there leaned a
figure, who waved to the
waiting girl in the road far below. 1t
was Albertson. He had won. He was
joined in a moment by cambridge.
They shook hands. Then they stag
gered down the long fight to greet
the prize.
The three went out to meet the 9TH
err Miss Ellison. cambridge assisted
her from the train. The two couples
left for Stockton. A double wedding?
Leave that to Colonel Dan Cupid.

WHITES BALLOTS.
Taft League Leader Pays Respects to
Sample Tickets.

When the attention of ]. S. Dean, presi-
cent OF the republican League, was called
to the sample ballots being prepared by
William Allen White he declared that
the Empor1a publisher will meet defeat ii
MS second attempt to feed Kansas list
Of hand picked candidates. kanSanS,
Dean believes, are perfectly able to vote
inteligently and will not thank White for
ms new set of hand picked candidates
thal makes 1t necessary for the voter to
marx IN almost every column OF the No
vemher ballot.
And so we are to have another hand
picked list of candidates, are we?" asked
Dean MT Whites instructions are not
confined to his own, the third term party,
put ne preN&nes to tell the Republicans
now they snail vote, that is that they
should mark their ticket in the circle and
then go over in the independent column
and vote for the Roosevelt electors TIC
the Democrats. he says, mark in the cir
Gle under the rooster then go to the In
dependent column and vote in the squares
Iore the Roosevelt electors and then pass
on to the Republican ticket and vote for
Stubs Capper and in each of the six dis
trfcts where the Bull Moosers have
candidate for congress on the Republican
ticket, to vote for such candidate"
MI Dean, in referring to these instruc-
stand the source of Mr.. W mites authority
to make a hand picked list for Kansas
voters. Who is this man White, any
how?" Dean asked. What authority has
he, a national committeeman for a new
and third party, to tell either Republicans
or Democrats how they should vote?
against his party candidate for pres1-
dent? Why should he tell a Democrat to
vote against his party nominee for presi-
dent? Why should Democrats be told to
leave their ticket and vote for Capper Tor
governor and Stubs for senator when
they have candidates for these offices OF
their own? Why should he recommend
that they vote for the Republican nomi-
nees for congress in six of the districts
and not in the other two?
Is William Allen White the only man
not only in Kansas, but EARTH who is
sufficiently wise and honest, to be quail
fled to pick from each of three separate
t-ckets the exact candidates entitled to
the support of Kansas voters? Why does
Mr.. White overlook the Socialists and
fail to instruct them in their dutiesP
What reason except for his towering
egotism, unmitigated gall and childlike
credulity has he for believing that Kan
sas voters will permit him to tell them
the individuals on three entirely separate
tickets for whom they shall vote? 1t Is
my belief that the sensible people of Kan
sas will show their contempt for such
sumption by casting their ballots against
the men whom Mr. White has picked out
for them.
Does Mr.. White believe in his wild
desperation to save Stubs and Capper
and. the fading chances of Roosevelt that
he can induce the voters of Kansas to
forsake their party principles and sacri-
flee their party honor?'

Kansas City. Oct. 24.-To win wife.
Chris AlbertsOn and Hugo Cambridge,
young farmers who live near Stockton,
Kan. ran a foot race up the West
Bluffs at Tenth street here.
Both men had loved pretty Marian
Ellison. daughter of a wealthy farmer
near Stockton, but Marian for long
time couldn't decide whom she loved
better. Each had been her playmate
from childhood and all had attended
district school together. For four
years she received the attentions of
both as Unfortunately as her Wom-
ans ingenuity could devise. Then she
began to favor Albertson. RumOr said
they were engaged.
But Cambridge was ingenious. He
sprang an idea. Why not elope to
Kansas City and get married?
The adventure appealed to Miss FL
1isOn- Notwithsta nding her reputed
preference of Albertson. she agreed
Sunday evening cambridge and Miss
Ellison left Stockton. They arrived in
Kansas City in due time.
There apparently was no danger of
a pursuit from Stockton for there was
no train until evening. So the clippers
waited in the depot, for the lone
brid esmaid.
About o'clock a Rock Island train
arrived from St. Joseph. Amons the
passengers who scurried in through
the swinging doors was youth with
set face who gazed anxiously at the
people he met in the lobby.

near the information window The
stern faced youth confronted them.

flight through a friend at the depot,
he had started in pursuit. A 80 mile

The three withdrew into a corner.
The men talked in tense tones. The
girl wept. Then they walked out on
Union avenue. Miss Ellison was cheer
full now The humor of the situation
began to appeal to her.

Labor Can't Be Found.

Smith Center, Kan, Oct. 24.-Em-
ployers of unskilled labor in towns in
this part of Kansas are facing a seri-
GUS situation in the great scarcity of
help 1t is almost impossible to get
men to work even at wages of $3.50 a
day, and the situation promises to be
worse when corn husking begins the
first of next month. Farmers are busy
signing up men to husk at a wage of
4 cents a bushel and board, which
will enable an ordinary man to make
at least SO clear in ten hours work
Two concrete construction con, panies
east of this place are running less
than half force at present, end are fig
uring on either importing foreign ers
or shutting down until after corn
husking is over.
