CHAUTAUQUA PARADE
VERY NICE AFFAIR

Saturday afternoon witnessed q
chautauqua demonstration in the
way of an automobile parade. Thirty
cars filled with enthusiastic boosters
formed a long line at the Court
House and toured about the town on
the east side, then came down Main
street from, the sugar factory and
dispersed at Sexton street. Large
crowds of townspeop1e and visitors
were lined along the curb Of West
Main and gave silent approval of the
spectacle, probably not knowing just
what was up, and consequently eau
tious of revealing any feeling. Never
theless there were as many people
on the street as may be seen even
at fair time, and it is to be hoped
they all intend taking advantage of
the chautauqua next week.
The one peculiar feature about the
parade was absence of noise. Not
even horn honked, except, once
when the silent line was creeping up
Shilling, after as quietly slipping
down Stout avenue, lonely little
Ford raised it's hoarse voice and re-
ceiving no response, relapsed into
apathy and followed the leader. For
tunately there happened to be no
careless pedestrians on the streets
else they might have been run down
before they saw the parade. 1t was
a nice little parade. Nice is the word,
but every little bit helps.

Little other business occupied the

Gratis talked of several possible can
didates for county Offices, but made
no definite conclusions. M. M. Farm
er made rousing declaration of
stand pattism. F. e. DeKay said:
1--WE can elect the whole Democratic
ticket this time, if we will just work
and talk our candidates up" There
were no contrary minded.

PREPARING FOR
BIG CELEBRATION

The committee appointed by the
chairman Of the booster supper sew
eral weeks ago has been actively en-
gagged in making ready a big free
program for the proper celebration of
July 4. Business men have donated
a fund for the purpose and on that
day the town is host.
The customary salutes will first be
fired in the morning; then patriotic
services will be performed at the
fair grounds. The big event of the
afternoon is the ball game, which will
be followed by motor cycle races.
One of the interesting features of
the evening is large search light,
similar to what is used on the battle
ships to flood the surrounding waters
with powerful light and also to spot
aeroplanes and Zeppelins in the air.
On July 2 the citizens may witness
the finish of long motor cycle race
from Salt Lake to Blackfoot.

Nominations 80 Made Unanimous
Hughes Resigns Place ON
Federal Bench

The last three days of last wee
were spent by the. ;, Republican con
vention in building their party plat
form and presenting nominations
Hughes was the strong favorite.
Borah spoke to the assembly OF
Thursday. ''The principal question
before u.s." he said, lis much lik'
that of 1850, and is simply this: Ar,
we nation?" Then he added tina
a nation that proclaims itself tot
proud to fight will soon be declared
by every other nation of the worll
too proud to live. He was loudly
cheered.
The first plank of the Republican
party was vigorous declaration ot
American rights in all parts of the
world on land and sea. A world
court to settle international disputes
was favored. The policy of ,McKin-
ley towards the Philippines as car
ried on by Roosevelt was endorsed.
At the mention of Roosevelt's name
there was a great demonstration.
Conference Committees
Upon invitation of the Progress
sives the Repub blicans appointed a
committee to confer with similar
committee from the other camp on
the matter of reunion of the parties.
Borah and Smoot were members Of
the committee for the Republicans,
but little was done.
Hughes Nominated
Governor Whitman nominated JUS
nm Ensi6 fv1n NJ
at the close of his speech there was
a demonstration Of approval that
lasted 20 minutes and was beyond
control.
The FavOrite Sons
In quick succession the favorite
sons were placed in nomination: Eli
hu Root, of New York; Theodore
Burton, of Ohio; Mr.. Weeks, of
Massachusetts; Coleman DUPONT, of
Delaware; Lawrence Y. Sherman, of
Illinois: and Charles w. Fairbanks,
of Indiana.
OF all these only Root received
anything like the applause that fol-
lowed the nomination of Charles
evans Hughes. But the ballot was
overwhelmingly for the justice. He
received 949h votes. while Roose-
welt came second with 811s; Senator
Lodge, Mr.. Weeks and General Du-
Pont were given several votes each.
Fairbanks for Vice President
The nomination of Charles War
rem Fairbanks, of Indiana, for vice
president on the ticket was almost
as strong as for first place. He re-
ceived 863, with Mr.. Burkett second
at 108 votes.
Hughes Resigns
Upon receipt of the news of his
nomination Mr.. Hughes sent in his
resignation as associate justice of the
federal supreme bench to President |
and replied to the convention
with very manly and patriotic
statement as follows:
