DEMOCRATS To FACE
ROW ON CONVENTION
Upstate Leaders May Op-
pose OSborn'S Plan at
Conference, June Is.

It is more than likely that there will
be a Lively row at the Democratic con-
ference called by Chairman Osborn. Of
the State Committee, for June IS and ls.
over the question OF holding an unofficial
convention. Mr.. Osborn believes that
such a convention would be held 10 be
a violation Of the spirit OF the direct
primary law which was passed by the
Democrats

lection OF candidates for tho various state
oinces, but refuses TO divulge II for

have the support of most of the mem
hers OF the executive committee, made up
largely of anti-Tammany men.
On the other hand. the country chair
men from upstate are keen for a con-
vertion as they say that otherwise their
territory would not get adequate repre-
sentation on the state ticket Some Of
the Tammany men also favor a conven-
ton, while others are inclined to think
that Charles l.. Murphy could get more
for the organization here by fixing up a
ticket in secret.
1t is not denied that Tammany could
nominate almost the entire ticket II it
chose, as a majority OF the enrolled
Democrats are In the territory controlled
by Murphy.
Former Representative Martin W. Lit
Teton Is under consideration for chair
man of the executive committee He held
long conference with Chairman Osborn
before the latter went to his summer
home up the Hudson. In any case, IL is
likely that he will lend his eloquence and
argumentative powers TO the Osborn
propaganda.
Two days were designated for the con-
ference, in order that the fullest oppor-
tunity for individual expression Of opinion
could be given. Chairman Osborn said.
If that is done there are likely to be some

From The Christian Herald.
Justice Henry Clrich. Of Baltimore.
has taken to sentencing habitual vio-
lators of the law TO read the Bible. The
first of such sentences was imposed on
q Young woman Of respectable parentase
who had been arrested more than one
hundred times.
A few DAYS ago the young woman
lelled against the brass railing that rims
his desk and pleaded. Guilty and proud
of it. Do you get that to the charge
of being drunk and disorderly on the
street.
After lecture Justice Ulrich said;
Now. Victoria. I'm going to give YOU
another chance TO make good. Can you
read?"
She answered, Yes. Sir"
Then l sentence you to come to this
station house every Sunday morning and
spend an hour with the matron, reading
the Bible. Either that or the cut "
Victoria chose the Bible. When she
appeared the next Sunday morning she
had evidently made a brave effort to APP
pear respectable. She has been going to
the station house every Sunday for
weeks now. and she thinks she will never
fall by the wayside again.
That was the first case. Justice I'll
rich was led to apply it again, and it is
working we'll. He is positive that he
has found plan that works.

THE CRITIC.

Richard A. Garfield, who has parted
with his superb collection of Whistler
paintings and pastels for 100000, said
the other day in New York:
1T would be a wise criticism TO state

the unwsest criticism going-a criticism

interesting remarks for some OF the Tam
many haters on the committee.
While the upstate leaders arc hers
Chairman Osborn will endeavor TO get
some idea from them OF the men favored
for places on the state ticket. Some
weeks ago II seemed that Governor Glynn
would receive the Endorsement OF the or
ganEation for denomination. That is far
from certain as things stand to-day.
A still greater problem is the question
OF who shall be selected to stand for
the United States Senate. William Ran
dolph Hearst has for some time been
trying 70 get into the graces OF Charles
+. Murphy but he does not stand well
with the independent Democrats. Some
OF those who wanted 20 be candidates two
months ago have decided this was not
going 20 be a good year. and told their
friends they were out OF the race. With
the talk that Colonel Roosevelt may %

THR[SH|NC NOW
WELL UNDER WAY

All the threshing machines are now
busy putting the heavy crop of straw
through, and the further along we get
the more peculiar crop conditions de-
velop. Some fields are turning out
exceptionally well, while others in the
same neighborhood are practically a
failure. There has been such
a spotted crop in the history of the
county. In the vicinity of Devils Lake
some very good yields are being re-
ported and in this respect we are for
tunate, and doubt if there are many
parts of thestate where the crop is
better than right here. In the north
eastern part of the county the crop
is much lighter as the early spring
rains missed that part of the county.
The probable average in the county
will not be more than 8 bushels to the
of wheat, and the barley crop will be
about Is bushels. Oats are turning
out fairly well, and corn promises q
good crop. Flax will be light. While
in. bushels the crop cannot be consid-
cred more than an average one at the
outside, the price is enough better ov.
er last year to make it a good paying
crop in most instances. However
there are fields that are practically
q failure.
