K. Marshall
Nominees.
FoRTY-SIX BALLOTS BRINGS
MAJORITY.

After spending about 8 days in
almost continuous session, day
and night, Gov. Woodrow Will
son of New Jersey received the
nomination for presidency on the
democratic ticket after the deleg-
ateS in convention had ballOted
torty-six times. The last ballot
show the votes to stand thus;
Wilson 900, Clark S4, Harmon
IL, absent 2.
For several days Clark was in
the maj jority with fair chances of
winning but when the Speakers
managers dropped in with the
Tammany Hall manlpulators
William Jennings Bryan at once
took up the cudgel against Mr..
Clark and to him must be given
the credit for the nomination of
Wilson and the defeat of Clark.
Idaho's delegation soon dis
cerned the way the straws point
ed the last few days and was not
long in getting into the wagon
carrying the Wilson forces. Even
Fred 7. Dubois reluctantly gave
his vote to nominate Wilson
when he saw he could no longer
gain strength for Clark. a relative
Of his.
This also means a defeat for
Dubois who has been very active
IN the support Of the Speaker OF
the House.
Gov. Thomas r. Marshall ot
Indianna also received the nom
inatiOn for Vice President on the
democratic ticket. This work
was completed at 1.56 a m. Wed
nesday and a minute later tn,
convention adjourned sine die.
This closes very importan
convention SO considered bv tn,
democratic party and after al
has been done and cOnsiderabl,
bitterness aroused the defeated
candidates all expressed them
selves as being willing to support
the successful candidate anC
through whom they hope to gair

Farmers Day
at Cooding
July Goth.

w. H. Olin, Director of Agri-
cultural extention IN Idaho, is
planing a Farmers day, to be
held at gooding on the Goth OF
this month to which all the farm
ers in this part OF the state are
cordially invited to attend.
AS the United States and the
state of Idaho have combined
and have established an irriga-
tion station at that point they
are working out the problems re-
lative to the right amount Of
water and the plants best adap-
ted to agriculture in this section
and this IS what they propose
demonstrating before the farmers
and visitors who willgo there on
the date named thus giving the
tiller of the soil an opportunity OF
the most advanced methods of
handling his crops and dealing
with the soil IN general.
The men having this work in
charge are experts in their line
and are prepared to give some
good demonstration along the
lines mentioned, and farmers Re,,-
orally are invited to be present
and get the benifits to be offered
on this occasion.
If the gathering is successful the
University of Idaho will likely
make it an annual day in this
state and each year the farmers
can get the benefits of many men
by thus meeting together.
Farmers are urgently requested
to make this first meeting a sue
cess. For any information adj
dress Supt. ] S. Welch or Don H.
Bark of Gooding or ", H. Olin

Sunday School
Convention
Well Attended.
GEO. M. CANNON AND VIM. A.
MORTON OF GENERAL BOARD, AND
OFFICERS FROM MANY SCHOOLS
PRESENT.

Sunday morning at 9 am. the
Sunday School convention open
ed in the Academy. building with
large attendance present.
George M. Cannon and VIM. A
Morton of the general board
were present and took a livelv
interest in the proceedings OF the
convention.
Out of the thirty three schools
of this stake about twenty were
represented at the convention.
In the morning at 9 am. the
Stake Board, Stake Presidency,
High Council, Bishops and coun-
sellers met in prayer meeting and
at $50 all the officers and teach
ers of the different schools met in
the regular preliminary meeting.
The general assembly room at
the Cassia Stake Academy was
crowded to its fullest seating
capacity and many were stand
ing in both sessions, and particu-
larly in the afternoon.
After the opening exercises the
several departments divided into
their respective class rooms and
took up the program outlined in
the Juvenile. Many important
phases of sunday school work
were discussed by those present.
The general board members were
active and also gave timely talks
in the interest of sunday school
work. They expressed them
selves as berg well pleased with
the interest manifested in this
stake.
The subject of holding union
meetings IN three districts of the
stake was discussed and vote
was taken designating Oakley,
Burlev and some point on the
east side of the mountain at
which Union meetings will be
held monthly hereafter, rendering
it unnecessary for all sunday
school workers to come to one
place to hold this meeting. These
places will afford an opportunity
for those in the districts named
to meet nearer to their homes
and it is expected that more good
will come to the sunday school
cause bv the help thus rendered
to teachers and officers who will
avail themselves of attending
these meetings once month.
I he move is considered good
one.

Oakley Fittingly
Celebrates.
ASST. ATTY. ]. H. PETERSON
GIVES GRAFTON.

At the usual hour the people of
Oakley and neighboring towns
met in the Howells opera house
and listened to we'll rendered
program comprising a chorus
under the direction of Rebecca
Wilson tollo wed by prayer by the
chaplain, M. O. Funk. Reading
of the "Declaration of Independ-
ance" by DR.. c. Peterson, Song
and chorus, Yankee Boy,
Glenn Bates & Co., Grafton by
Asst Atty. General . H. Peterson
of Boise.
Mr.. Peterson handled his sub
ject very cleverlv. He opened
his remarks by giving short
history OF our country from it's
independence to date, the basis
upon which the Declaration OF
independence was formed, and
the stateSman-like manner in
which these questions have been
handled. He depicted carefully
the detailed manner IN which the
Cuban troubles were so satisfact-
orily settled the duty OF the
citizens of this republic in select
ing their officers. He felt it a
solemn duty that all men should
go to the primaries. where they
exist, and see that their choice
is manifested. $50 Of the, quail
hed voters he SAID fail ro register
their choice at the primaries.
This condition, he felt. should be
improved upon. The primaries
are OF more value than the gen
eral election and urged that peo-
pie become more active in these
matters and thus avoid later
complaints.
To be willing to work i'll time
of peace tor the strengthening OF
the nation is asgreat an essential
as to fight in time of war, he felt.
His talk was we'll received and
is receiving favorable comment.
Bishop David P. Thomas was
master of ceremonies and the
Oakley Silver Band gave a num-
ber of pleasing selections.
In the afternoon two Ball
Games were played, first between
View VS. Marion and Basin VS.
Oakley. View and Basin were
winners.
Races and other amusements
were enjoved till the close of the
day when all went home to pre-
pare for the Grand Ball held in
Anona in the evening to which a
large crowd gathered.

Another
Business Block
to be Erected.
DEAL CLOSED FOR SITE AND PLANS
FOR BUILDING SUBMITTED,

Inc nrSt part OF this week a
deal was closed whereby the lot
belonging to the Peoples Union
and adjoining their Butcher shop
on the east was sold to Messrs
Colpin, Randall, and Farmer and
upon which very neat and up
todate structure will be erected.
1t will be modern in every respect
but the purpose for which it will
be used has not been definitely
decided, however there is one Of
two things for which it will be
used.
These gentlemen have an op-
portunioy OF renting it to one of
our local business concerns for
store purposes and they also
have a plan whereby the arrange
ment will be such that a glass
front room will be provided on
each side of an entrance very de-
sireable for a jewellery store and
barber shop with a moving pic
ture show in the rear with front
entrance of about a twenty foot
recess from the side-w walk.
If the latter plan is decided up
on it will make very ornament
al structure because of the ar
rangement while if the general
store plan is provided it will be
just as modern and neat but
some of the odd designing will be
eliminated.
This closes up the only gap
along that side of the street for
some distance and makes a solid
front of buildings that are very
creditable to the town.
The firm handling this propo-
sition will be known as Colpin &
Co. AS the two walls are al
ready on both sides it will require
but little work to have the build.
ing completed which these gentle.
men propose doing in 60 days.
This together with the ones
completed and now under con
struction is creating considerable
work in Oakley this year and at
the rate at which buildings are
now going up, Oakley will double
it's size in ten years. This town
cannot be held back, it must grow.
The Great Shoshone and Twin
Falls water power, company
wishes to urge that prospective
ELECTRIC HEAT consumers
make their final arrangements
with the company this year as
early in the season as possible.
During the past two years the
first few cold days in the fall have
caused large number ofcustom-
ers to request that they be con-
nected Immediately. 1t has been
impossible, in view OF the growth
of the business, to comply with
popular demand as readily as
might be supposed, Extra stat
ion facilities, distributing wires
and transformer capacity have
to be purchased and installed for
each new customer supplied with
electric heat, all of which requires
considerable timeA The prospects
are that the business of the com
pany, as far as electric hea ting is
concerned will be doubled this fall
and if YOU wish to avoid inconve-
nience and delay you should pro-
vide for and make sure of your
supply of current by sending IN
your application early IN the sea-
son. A large shipment of heaters
has been ordered and this year
the company will sell them to its
consumers direct Don't hesitate
to advise the company of your
wishes or to ask information OF
their representatives, as they are
anxious to help you.

WOMEN AND THE BALLOT.

Wisconsin has rejected woman sut- frage. and Kansas has adopted it. There are now seven states of the Union that have women suffrage Washington, California, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Kansas, They are all in the West 1t will be noted, where all things progressive spring. and blossom and fructify.
 In the ordinary course of events the question of enfranchising the women of Alaska will come to the front, as in the course of time it will be adopted in every state of the Union. The conservative East and the South will be the last to adopt it, although the militant female suffra- gists of New York state are conduct ing a strenuous campaign of educa- tion among the people of the Empire state.
 The women in many states are in- teresting themselves in the question of the ballot. They are educating their husbands and fathers and broth CTS along the lines of free and equal suffrage. They demand 1t not as a concession but as a right. And why should they not? Sex should be no bar to the ballot. The feudal idea that places women in the category
The Alaska daily empire., 1912-11-07
of vassals has no place in the ecOnO- my of a progressive people.
"A WORKER IN BRASS"

in speech delivered by Governor Marshall in Seattle, during the cam paign. he said, in referring to Gov ornor Hiram Johnson, the Progress sive candidate for vice president, that ne had looked up the antecedents of Hiram in the Bible, and found that the original Hiram was worker in brass"
 Now Governor Johnson is wonder. ing how 1t happened that he lost Cal irornia. Governor Johnson may be a fine artifcer in brass, and robust orator, withal, but we should judge that he failed to carry California for his ticket through a loss of votes. By the peculiar operations of his direct primary law, the Republicans of Cal iSornia were unable to vote for their party's candidate. The Supreme Court of that state decided that the names Of Taft electors could not he placed upon the ballot under the law, Gov. Johnson's law. He had seized the Republican party bound 1t hand and foot, so to speak, and prac' tically disfranchised 1t as a Republi- can organization, The result; They voted for Wilson, apparently almost en masse. And that's what's the mat ter with Hiram. It is, We submit, a case of sounding brass"

PRESIDENT rAEr,s FEARS.

President Taft sens to fear that the election of Woodrow Wilson to the presidency means an early change of economic policy with ref erence to the tarlfr" And he sin cerely hopes that it can be made without "halting prosperity"
 Mir. Taft is a protectionist. He has always been such. Hence his opinion as to the economic policy of his party and the effect it has had upon the industrial life of the country. There are many men, who are Re publicans, who do not share the be- lief that the tarifr is a sacred insti- tuition. which the common people must approach with the awe and reverence with which a Hindu ap- proaches his idol, and with the feel ing: q know that you are ugly, but I am told that you are great"
 The tariff is not sacrosane. High protection is not fetish save iT the minds of it's benefciaries. It is the conviction of the majority of the people of the United States as ex' pressed at the polls in the recent election, that extreme protection has outlived it's usefulness. The common people are entitled to some consid- eration all the time.
 Furthermore, we submit that no uneasiness need be felt over disturb ing business conditions, nor the halting of prosperity. Most people are agreed that a reduction of the tarin is demanded, but. if we are to believe the public utterances of President-Elect Wilson, or even if we read alright the tariff plank of the national Democratic platform, there will be no extremely radical tarif legislation, and, therefore, no possible reason for jeremaids over the prospect of a encouragement of the tarifr schedules so as to meet changed conditions.

AS TO CLEAN POLITICS.

Locally it (the territorial election) has been the cleanest ever held in the city of Juneau" was the published remark of a Juneau business man to The Empire yesterday. It augurs well, then, for the town and the peO- pie. There is no reason why all elections should not be clean. The world is steadily progressing and with progress enlightenment comes a loftier view of the duties that good citizenship imposes. A battle is now being waged in all advanced civilized countries for social justice and the betterment of human conditions. The moral and political uplift are now more than mere high-sounding phrases. As a result politics are be- coming removed to a higher level, and good government is no longer as sounding brass or the tinkling of cymbals." It means something real and tangible in the efforts being made for better government, better living, straight thinking. Our govern ment was instituted by the fathers of the republic to secure the inalien- able rights of the people. For this it was created, and the growing ten dency of our people to return to the first principles. is a healthy sign of the general awakening that is rapid ly spreading throughout the nation. Human rights are beginning to be es- teemed as of much more importance than the mere rights of property. We have had our object lesson, and the people are responding to the insis- tent call to the work that has surely been mapped out for the American people. Honest, clean government will make an honest, self-respecting people.

MAIL SERVICE DENIED.

Complaints about Alaska's mail service are constant. There is always some community that has legitimate cause of complaint. Usually. how ever. they are in the interior or more remote places Of the Western Alas. kan coast. We know of a prosperous mining camp in interior Alaska that never gets a mail during the entire summer season, except that which trickles in through the good nature of river men who pass it along from the place where the government de- posits It. hundred miles away. And that community has about 300 peo- pie. They have complained? Of course they have, but without re- dress. The postofice department says that a summer mail costs too much What do you think of that?
 The people of Yakutat have not had a mail in more than six weeks, It is accommodating steadily in the Ju- neau postotice. Yet Yakutat is not far or the direct line Of travel of a half-dozen steamer which make reg ular trips.
 Much has been made of the fact that the postofice department is now on a paying basis, for the first time in it's history. Was it assisted in reaching that ideal state by cheese pairing policy that deprives pioneers and helpless communities of that great bOon-a mail service
The Alaska daily empire., 1912-11-07

According to a dispatch received by The Empire yesterday the Social ist vote in the national election was about SOO,OOO. Four years ago 1t to- tailed APO. 798, therefore the increase this year as compared with 1908 is nearly enc hundred per cent. The gain is not without much significance and is we'll worth pondering over Victor Berger, the Socialistic Con gressmap from the Milwaukee district was defeated on Tuesday, but it was accomplished only by the fusion Of the other political parties. If Social ism is a menace the only way to re- move it, or render 1t innocuous, is to remove the causes which create it. It is no use blinking the fact that so- cialism is growing, and rapidly throughout the whole country.
 The Socialist legislative tickets seem to have not made much of Q showing in any of the judicial divis- ions in Alaska, except in the Fourth, where the Socialist party is except tonally strong.
