 As Miss Gordon concluded the solid ranks of standing women wearing the purple, white and gold of the suffra- gists parted and Mrs. Arthur M Dodge of New York, president of the National Opposed To Suffrage. made her way to the platform. In a brief prepared speech she declared that the admin istration had announced that suffrage was not a question for federal action, and concluded:
 Having in mind this definite an- nouncement we confidently count upon the refusal of this committee to fur ther the propaganda of any group of suffragists"
 Mrs A. J. George of Boston, chair man of the congressional committee of the anti-suffrage organization, made a long argument against suffrage and told the committee that the only states where democratic gains were shown in the last election were in states where the congressional committee had been working.
 Several suffragists hissed the state ment and Mrs. George remarked Some times we have the fitness of women to go into politics illustrated to us" The outbreak subsided as quickly as it arose.

St. Louis Gains Lead on the First Ballot and Wins on the Second by a Large Majority
DENOMINATION OF WOODROW WILSON
 IS CALLED FOR
Next Convention Will Begin at Noon on Wednesday. Republicans Expected to Meet in Chicago

wasbiraaen. December 7.--The desn- ocratic natiopal eonyeptton oF IaiS riu be held st st. touis bcsinuips Wcdncs- day. June ft. at neon. The dcmocrntic national committee tonight named the convention city and adopted resolutions calling for the renominatton and re- election of Woodrow Wilson as .the trusted leader of national democracy
 Chicago and Dallas contested with St. Louis for the honor of the convent ton. but St. Louis easily led from tho start and won on the second ballot When the trend of the voting was seen Texas moved that the choice of St Louis be made unanimous. Dallas held second place on the first ballot but was displaced by Chicago on the sec ond roll call
 The result of the first ballot was: St Louis 25 Dallas IA. Chicago IS. On the second ballot the vote was: St. Louis 2S Chicago 10, and Dallas 9. Tho majority for St. Louis was gained on this ballot, when John T. McGraw arose near the end of the call and changed 'NNSt Nih f- Aiia NtAt iARHi NfNhNdEo ho the Missouri city, Then the choice was made unanimous
 It has been customary heretofore for national conventions to begin work on Tuesday The fact that Tuesday fell on the thirteenth next year may or may not have had something to do with the de- termination of the democratic commit tee to begin the proceedings a day later The official explanation, howevers was to the effect that the cofivkaticns wopId tf.ot require nios's tsi4si4 three or fonf days to complete ite work, and 1t would not be too late in the week to start on W ednesday.
 Political leaders in Washington tonight regarded it as practically certain that Chicago will be selected for the repub- lican convention when the natonal com mittee of that party meets hero next Tuesday. The date for this convention probably will be late in June.

CHECK FOR $1O0,OOO

Each of the three cities contesting for the democratic convention put in bid of $100, GOO. St Louis placed in the hands of the chairman New York drafts for that amount. Dallas offered a certified check while Chicago presented a pledge from the association of commerce to con tribute 000 on call the treasurer of the democratic committee.
 The advocates of St. Louis supple mented their financial inducements by warning to the committee that the convention was needed in Missouri to keep the is electoral votes of that state in the democratic column. The delega- ton from Dallas pleaded with the com mittee to reward the loyal democracy Of tho south by sending the convention next year to a southern state. The Texas speakers were greeted with enthusiastic cheers. by the members of their delesa- tion and the rebel yell" several times interrupted the proceedings. Chicago based it's appeal largely on its climate and it's known ability t. take care of convention crowds.
 The national committee was in session almost continuously from Il o'clock this morning until late tonight completing de- tails and discussing financial ways and means for the coming convention and de- batting various subjects of party inter- est The opening of the session was given the atmosphere of love fesist when Thomas d. Pence of North Caro- lima a protege of Secretary of the Navy Daniels was elected secretary, and in a speech of acceptance declared reports or differences between himself and National Chairman w. r. McCombs was entirely without foundation. MT. Pence, regarded by many as a representative of the ad- ministraton, said amid cheers that he had worked harmoniously with MT McIoinos in, the mast and purposed to. work har- moniously with him in the future.

"Not on Your Life," Says Democratic Speaker in Declining Honor-Com- mitteemen Enjoy Themselves
 During Warm Controversies

Washington, December 7.-Women suf- speeches debated the question of votes for women for an hour today before the na- tional democratic committed
 The committee held public session in a hotel ballroom to hear the women and the place was packed to the doors.
 Six suffrage leaders told the commit teemen that the women of the nation were looking to the democratic party to cham in the present Congress or in the plat form of the next democratic national convention, Two leaders of the national society opposed to suffrage argued that the party already had declared that suf- frage is wholly state question, and that moreover majority or American women did not, want to be enfranchised
 The committee took no action, but the members appeared to enjoy the debate thoroughly and applauded each speaker literally.
 The hearing was arranged because the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage tell the committeeman that suffrage had become a national issue. When the unions request went in the National American Woman Suffrage association asked to be heard. and then the National Society Opposed to Woman Suffrage sent word to the committee that they could not allow the claims of the suffragi to go unchallenged.

, possible. Captain Marsh was given
orders to reach Fort Lincoln as speed
lily as he could.
The river was very dangerous and
Marsh had never travelled down
stream on much of the course. Never
theless he damned on a full head
of steam and Marsh and his pilot took
tricks of four hours each at guiding
the boat. What thrilling trip that
must have been! Dodging about
islands and carroming off the narrow
banks when rounding curves, Captain
Marsh never slackened speed until
Bismarck was reached. The thousand
miles, more or less, had been covered
in 81 hours and a record was estab"
lished that has never before or since
been eQualled on the river.
Captain Marsh continued in the Mis-.
souri, river steamboat business until
about 1905. He is easily the most
famous captain that ever a Missouri
river boat had and has connected him
self with many of the important his
torical incidents of the west.
Captain Marsh is now 80 years of
age but is yet hale and hearty. His
frame shows that he has been power
full man in his prime and his elastic
step and graceful bearing indicate
that he has many years yet before him.
Here's to Captain Grant Marsh, king
of Missouri steamboat captains.

CORN CONTEST FOR
. 1915 IS ANNOUNCED

l
1915 IS ANNOUNCED
The fourth acre yield corn contest
WAS announced Thursday by the Bet
ter Farming section Of the North Da
kota experiment station. Seven hun
dred dollars in prizes are offered. The
state has been divided into north
and south section so that those in the
northern section will not have to
compete with those in the southern
part of the state. The prizes will be
as follows, in each section: First
i$75; second, $50; third, $35; fourth
$25; fifth, SIS; sixth to fifteenth each
$40; sixteenth to twentieth, each S.
with sweepstakes prize of $50 which
will be for the best yield in the state.
The contest is open to boys, 10 to
10 years of age, and the conditions are
that they grow an acre of corn. The
contestant may secure some assist
ance in blowing it, but is to do the
rest of the work himself. The basis
of the awards will be the mature corn
produced on an acre. It will be judg-
ed by county agents or other repre-
sentatives of the North Dakota Exper-
iment station.
The results from the previous con-
tests have demonstrated that big
yields can be produced in North Da-
kota. The highest yield secured was
106 3-4 bushels. 1t has been found
that the big yields have been secured
from we'll selected, home grown seed
that has been tested. Another factor
has been early planting and thorough
cultivation. These, however, are just
the things that have to be done in any
part of the corn belt in order to Sc
cure big yields.
The purpose of the contest has been
to create a greater interest in corn
growing The results secured have
justified this contest. Corn is taking
quite a prominent place in North d.
kota farming. In 1914 the value of
the corn crop was but 100000 less
than that of the fax crop, which is
looked upon as one Of the staple crops
of the state, in fact the value Of the
corn crop was 10 of the wheat pro-
duced, and the corn produces a great
er money return per acre than either
the fax or wheat.
The boys who have taken part in
these contests have boosted North Da-
kota into the corn belt and are max
ing North Dakota noted for it's corn
all over the union. These winners in
the corn and pork production contests
are the best immigration agents that
North Dakota has ever had or can
have. Settlers are coming where the
good crops can be grown, and especi-
ally corn. This is the crop that has
raised the value of Illinois and Iowa
lands from $40 and $40 an acre to 500
and 5000 per acre, and it has been
done on smaller yields than the con-
testants have secured in North Dako-
ia.
Any boy who wants to enter the
contest should write the North Da'
kota Experiment station, agricultural
college, North Dakota, for application
blank and full particulars, or they can
be secured from the county agents.
The experiment station will send the
contestants information on corn grow
ing from time to time.
