It is a little amusing as we'll as
interesting the way thermometers
of one vicinity vary during the prev
alence of a cold spell, according to
the reports of various people. Dur
ing the recent cold weather the
thermometers of Hartford and vi
cinity-as per the word Of their
owners-gave the weather as any
where between six and 20 degrees
below zero. The general average
apDeared to be about 70 degrees.
With some it seemed to be a contest
as to who could report the lowest
temperature.

Excent for a dozen or so hand
extinguishers-wh which, however, have
come into mighty fine play in days
gone by-Hartford is clearly at the
mercy OF the flames. should a fire
suddenly break out in the business
section at any time. 1t has been a
long while since we had a serious
cOnfagration in our little city, but
such usually comes unawares. We
have valiant and willing freight
ers, but at the same time the town
should be better prepared than it is
for a serious blaze. We suggest that
the City Council take the matter up.
A close scrutiny and study of the
proceedings of the divorce courts OF
the country will disclose the fact
that it is principally the well-to-do
people and not the poorer classes
who seek to break the marital bonds
by law. Married couples in wretch
ed financial circumstances may and
no doubt do have their domestic
troubles, but they seem to prefer
what little love is left of each other
rather than to fly to the courts for
eternal separation. The credit is al
together on the side of the poor peo-
pie, who apparently have more re-
spect for each other than the love-
less rich.

CLARK DENIES
BRYAN'S CHARGES
Speaker Issues Statement in
Answer to Attack Made
by COmmOner.

Baltimore.-Speaker Clark came
Saturday night to Baltimore in re-
sponse to the urgent request from Sen
ator Dubois, his campaign manager,
who reported that the Missourian's
candidacy had suffered by reason of an
ATTACK on his honor" made by Will
liam jennings Bryan. The convention
had adjourned until Monday before the
speakers arrival.
After his conference with Mr..
Hearst, Senator Stone, David R. Fran
els and others, Speaker Clark issued
the following statement:
To-day in the national convention
and outrageous aspersion was cast up
on me and through me upon the demo
cratic party by one who, OF all men,
ought to be the last to besmudge or
betray his friends or his party. So
far as am personally concerned, it is
enough to say that the charge which
reflects upon my personal or party in
tegrity is utterly and absolutely false.
| might afford to forget myself, but
I am, by the choice of the democratic
majority of the house of representa-
tives, the ranking democratic official
in public life. l cannot be false or cor
rupt without reflecting upon my party
IL, +bo Y110ct cpriouc WaV
"Any man who would enter into an
alliance with any selfish interest or
privileged class of this country to gain
the nomination for the presidency is
unworthy of the presidency and OF the
speakership of the house. If l have

the democrat, however distinguished
who wantonly charges me with this
act is a traitor to the democratic party

81 am not here to plead for a nom

to the expressed will of his constltu

from any man, be he friend or foe bu'

OREGON DELEGATES
SOLID FOR WILSON
Washington Votes For Clark
to End, Despite Radical
Leanings.

Baltimore.-After Holman and God
frey, the wanderers in the Oregon del
egation, returned to the fold Monday
morning they remained with the dyed
in-the.wool Wilson delegates to the
end, and on every roll call on Monday
and Tuesday Oregon cast ten votes for
Woodrow Wilson.
Washington's % delegates, with half
vote apiece, under instructions Tor
Clark, voted for him on every roll call
save the 46th, when Wilson's nomlna-
ton had been assured and nothing was
to be gained by holding out longer Tor
| Clark
In Tuesdays poll it was found that
delegates Shram, Seattle; Neterer,
Bellingham; Munday, Vancouver, and
Ritz, Walla Walla, had started for
home, leaving proxies to be voted for
them. but an objection was raised to
these proxies being used and all the
proxies were ruled out by Chairman
James whenever a protest was regis
tered
In opposing James ruling, and the
demand that all proxies be allowed to
stand and be allowed to vote, Senator
Turner said that Washington had no
alternates and could not vote it's full
strength unless proxies could vote. To
which Chairman James replied: If the
democratic party of your state was so
foolish as to send no alternates it must
pay the penalty in loss of votes"
This ruling did not affect the total
vote of the state cast under the unit
rule. 1t affected only the poll of dele
gates to determine how the unit vote
should be cast.
Idahos delegation was shrewd
When it saw Champ Clark losing
ground it stood from under" and most
of the delegation went to Wilson. The
vote fluctuated. Sometimes one and
again as many as five delegates with
half vote each, stayed by Clark, bu'
usually not more than three remained
loyal.
Tuesday morning Idaho cast its soliC
vote for Wilson and continued to do Sc
until the end. 1t did this in defiance
of its instructions for Clark and in de
fiauce of ex-senator Dubois, Clark
manager.

radically progressive resolution put
ting the democratic convention on
record as opposing the nomination FOR
president of any candidate allied IN
anv way with J. Pierpont Morgan
Thomas F. Ryan, August Belmont or
any other member of the privilege
seeking class"
His was a move unheard OF IN the
history of politics and it proved be-
vond doubt Bryan's hold on the DEM
ocratic party. The resolution follows
"ResoIved, that in this crisis IN our
party's career and in our country MS
tory this convention sends greetings
to the people of the United States and
assures them that the party OF Jeffer'

Baltimore.-The scene when Bryan
repudiated Clark was one of the most
dramatic ever witnessed in a national
convention.

vote. he proceeded to declare that he
and the men he represented, would
support no creature of Tammany Hall
and no presidential candidate VINO

switched from Clark to Wilson. the
action was taken amidst pandemonlum
the like of which has seldom been sur

Standing on the platform, flushed
and angry, Bryan threw directly into
the face of Murphy, as he sat at the

AS the second ballot progressed
Marshall gained steadily. Many OF
the so-called Wilson states shifted to
support him. The result of the ballot
was announced: Marshall, 64512;
Burke, 3S711; Chamberlain, 121a.
On the third ballot the North Dako-
Ia delegation withdrew the name OF
Governor Burke and moved that the
Nomination of Marshall be made un-
animous.
The convention witnessed many eX-
