PETITIONS ARE HERE
FOR BLUE SKY LAW"

Major Lee Moorhouse is today cir
culating an initiative petition design
ed to secure the adoption of a Blue
Sky law by Oregon voters and is ex-
periencing little difficulty in getting
signatures because of the obvious
merit of the bill. The petition must
be filed at Salem by July 3.
The bill, designed to protect pur-
chasers of stocks and bonds and to
provide for the thorough regulation
and supervision of corporations, is
modelled after the famous Blue Sky
law of Kansas. The Oregon bill has
been in the course of preparation for
months and has been revised and ap-
proved by some of the best lawyers
and business men in the state. The
administration of the corporation
law costs about $1,000 per year. I'm
der the new law the expense will be
about $4,000, but this is more than
offset by the new resources of reve-
nue. provided in the bill, which, 1t is
estimated by the secretary of state
will add about $4,000 to the present
annual receipts from corporations, in
addition to saving the people of the
state at least a million dollars a year
now thrown away on worthless stocks
and bonds.

BELIEVED BRYAN IS MAKING PLANS To
SPECULATI0NS MADE
ON VICE-PRESIDENCY

Baltimore, June 29-Gossip yester-
day as to the vice presidency failed
TO crystallize, the delegates almost
despairing of correctly analyzing the
situation. They are content to let
1t work itself out, as the balloting
manipulations progress.
Among the most conspicuous of the
vice presidential possibilities at this
time are Governor Burke of North
Dakota, who was in the presidential
contest until last night when he with
drew his on name by telegraph to
the convention; Representative Will
liam Sulzer of New York. chairman
of the house committee on foreign
affairs; Mayor Newton Baker of
Cleveland; Senator O'Gorman of New
York; Representative William Red
field of New York; Mayor James Red
field of New York; Mayor James
Preston of Baltimore, one of the lead
ing hosts of the conventions; Repre-
sentative Robert L. Henry of Texas,
champion of Bryan in the progressive
democracy movement, and chairman
of the house committee on rules and
many others.
Governor Marshall OF Indiana, who
is still in the presidential race, with
the support of Indiana's 80 votes, is
being much discussed as a vice pres
idential possibility should he join the
victims of the elimination trials in
the premier contest now approaching
it's climax. The name of Representa-
tive Oscar w. Underwood, majority
leader of the house, and still in the
race for the presidential nomination,
also is much talked of in case the
first place on the ticket does not fall
to his lot. His friends still are insist
ing that he is in a strategic position
as to the presidential nomination and
are no thinking of second place for
him. but his name is heard in many
quarters as the most available rum
ming mate for Clark or Wilson or Bry-
an or Kern or whoever may be nam
ed.
Underwood, however. is not seek
ing the vice presidency and his
staunchest supporters insist that un-
less he is chosen to head the ticket
he would prefer to remain where e
is as the leader of the house majority.

EDITOR BUYS WEDDING RING.
Says He Chose One From Hundred
Willing to Marry Him.

ST. Louis, Mo.-CharleS j. Hennin-
ger, editor of the st. Louis County
Herald, published at Wellston, called
on Recorder of Deeds Heinneman at
Clayton Wednesday to show him a
wedding ring Henninger said he haC
just bought. He said, however, he
was not quite ready to take out a
marriage license. The ring was en-
graved: From Charles to Tillie."
Henninger said he recently had
been in Centralia, ILL.,; Litchfield, ILL.,:
Kansas City and Columbia, Mo-, and
that he had met 100 women who
were willing to marry him. He in
timated he had made a selection OF
one, but that there might even yet be
hitch.
Henninger is a wealthy st. Louis
county widower. His first wife was
electrocuted accidentally by an cleo
trio light wire in her home eighteen
months ago. In January the editor
took out marriage license with the
name of the woman left blank. Twice
since then he has obtained the blank
form of application for marriage IL
cense, but returned neither form.

Baltimore, June 29.-Giving up all
attempt to break the existing dead
lock, the leaders in the democratic
party decided at 3:05 this Saturday
morning to take adjournment until l
o'clock in the afternoon in the hope
that some sort of an agreement as to
a presidential nominee might be
reached. Many delegates protested
against the delay, but apparently
there was no hope of settling the
nomination by cofereces on the con-
vention floor.
Twelve ballots were taken. Champ
Clark made q sensational gain on the
tenth when New York's solid block
of 80 votes went to him, Mr.. Clark's
tota reaching high water mark OF
556-a clear majority, but 10 votes
short of the two-thirds necessary to
nominate.
on the eleventh and twelfth ballots
Clark fell away to 554 and $40.
Governor Woodrow Wilson held his
forces steadily together and through
out the nights voting there were only
slight fluctuations in his totals Votes
lost in some delegations were made
UP in others. Mr., wilson's last total
was 354.
