The Churchill county standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1908-1920, 1916-06-14

At a meeting OF the Progressive
national committee held immediate
ly after the adjournment of the con-
vention it was decided to hold an
other meeting of the committee on
June 25th, when it will be decided
whether Col Roosevelt's name will
remain on the ticket. At the pres
ent time no intimation is forthcom-
ing as TO the future of the party, but
the sentiment is freely expressed
that the decision of their idolized
leader will spell the doom of the
Progressive party.
On receiving word of his nomina-
ton at Chicago Justice Hughes
promptly placed his resignation
from the Supreme Court in the
hands of President Wilson. 1t was
expressed in one brief sentence, as
follows:
ITO the President: I hereby re-
sign the office of associate justice of
the supreme court of the United
States. am, Sir, Respc'y yours,
Charles E. Hughes.

Before the Progressive convention
adjourned a telegram was received
from Colonel Roosevelt announcing
that he could not accept the nomina-

dismay into the hearts of the lead

IS a definite assurance that under
certain circumstances Re would de-

the Republican candidate.
Following is his telegram to the
I am very grateful fer the hon

4 do not know the attitude of
the candidate of the Republican par

immediate decision l must decline
the nomination. but, if you prefer it,
l suggest that my conditional refusal

IF Mr. Hughes statement when
he acknowledges the call, shall salts
fly the committee that it is for the
best interest OF the country that he
be elected, they can act accordingly

accepted.
IF they are not satisfied they can

at the same time confer with me and
determine whatever action may sew

McDARMIlNT ACQUITTED.
Jury Deliberated Forty Minutes. Sec
ond Case Dismissed.

After one of the hardest fought le-
gal battles in the criminal annals of
Oklaoma. Corley McDarment, charg-
ed with the murder of Edgar Watts,
the Wagner high school student,
was Saturday morning set free by q
jury in the district court at Musko-
gee. When the verdict was read,
there was loud applause. and the de-
fendant was given a tremendous ova-
tion. With tears streaming down his
face, the young school teacher grasp
ed the hands of the jurors.
In spite of the judges admonition
that there should be no demonstra-
tions, the crowd cheered. and rushed
to the front to grasp the hand of the
young teacher
A second case against McDarment,
that of assault to murder Clark Moss,
will be dismissed, it is said
Shortly before $3.50 O'Clock Friday
night, after giving few instructions
to the jury, Judg DeGraffenried sent
the twelve men to the jury room.
At 1915 o'clock the jury reported
that it could not agree on a verdict
and asked the court to allow them to
go to their hotel for the night and
return verdict the next marning.
Next day verdict was reached
in exactly forty minutes.
Mrs. MeDarment, her young baby
and her father, Fred Gyr, returned
to Durant Saturday morning. Cor
ley McDarment has announced no
plans for the future, save that he viii
stick to his chosen profession, that
of teaching school.

harsh remarks during the meeting

DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION
SIDEL|GHTS

One OF the most interesting fea-
lures Of the recent Democratic con
vention at st. Louis Is the fact that II
took lovely woman to force the only
roll call demanded on the national
platform. as we'll as to inspire the
only real excitement that marked the
convention.
Votes for Women" was the issue
that stirred up things The Mexican
plank, nailed In at the last minute by
the platform builders, did not create
ripple. "Americanism" and pre-
paredness" received polite ovations.
but It remained for the woman suf-
frage plank to start a real fracss.
Headed by Gov. Ferguson Of Texas,
the antis endeavored to wrench the
suffrage plank from the platform. But
President Wilson's feelings on the
subject, as presented to the conven-
ltion by Senator Walsh of Montana,
were not to be ignored And so, after
a three-hour battle in which the term
political expediency" was used with
tolling effect, the antls we're routed
by vote of SsSh to 1917
The vote, however, does not tell the
real story Of the battle. which was
one oG the most vigorous and pic
uresQue ever staged at a national
Democratic convention Fifteen WON
en- delegates fought from the floor on
the side of the pro-suffraglsts, while
hundreds of their sisters waved yer
low pennants and cheered them on
from the balconies. A thunderstorm
that almost drowned out the voices
of the delegates as they answered the
roll cali brought both the suffrage
battle and the convention to a most
melodramatic finish.

President Wilson is entitled to the
