CONVENTION ENDS;
ISSUES ARE MADE
Campaign to Be Waged on
Question of Pacific Dip|o-
macy as Against Pacific
|ForCefu|ness.

ST. Louis, June 1.-THE democratic
terday by adopting the platform by ac-
clamation, and the city today virtually
was depopulated of delegates. The
final hours Of the convention We're
marked by a sharp fight on the suf-
frage plank when Governor Ferguson,
of Texas, sought to have adopted a
minority report against suffrage. The
matter was put 20 a vote and the con-
vention sustained the resolutions COM
mittee by a vote Of SSS1s to 1871.
Here in tabloid form is the summari-
at the close of the convention. as made
by the foremost democrats of the coun-
try:
Broadly, the democratic cam
paign will! advocate a pacific dipIo-
macy with resort to force only in
s eaien s M'!' f sase'a! ne,a a R0'' syoeo Of
when rights are invaded.
1t is a guess which will more appeal
to the voter and will depend on how
Wilson and Hughes as personalities
strike the voters.
When the democrats assembled here
at the opening of the week many OF
them We're apathetic because of disaf-
IecllOu WlIu lue ADMINISTRATION.
To some extent this gloom and apa-
thy have been dispelled so far as DEM
ocrats who attended the convention
are concerned.
Glynn's speech as temporary chair
man. amounting to a defense of the
president for keeping the country out
of war, and at the same time with
punch and aggression in it, has done
much to hearten the delegates.
Most of them go home with their
fighting clothes on" though there is
deep seated resentment in the national
committee because of the absolute
domination of the convention from
Washington and the disposition of the
president and his lieutenants to treat
the old Warehouses; as ciphers.
The plank aimed at Commandment
cans is regarded by the ablest politi-
clans in the party as ill advised from a
political standpoint, and likely to cost
more votes than it will gain,

several detachments of troops were
gotten ready for pursuit. Motor cars

10 miles north Of Brownsville, with
order to cut off the bandits retreat

Meanwhile, another force Of two COM

nito earlier in he night to investigate
reports that the Joe Scott ranch had
been attacked found the band 10 miles
east Of San BenitO. A running fight
took place in which, according to

SEVEN DOLLARS A
HEAD PROFIT ON A
LUNCH Of SHEEP
R. L. HAYS HAS A FLOCK THAT
YIELDED IT'S PER CENT RETURN
ON THE INVESTMENT.
Two HUNDRED IN The LOT
For Many Years he Has Been An
Earnest Advocate Of Sheep and is
More Than Ever Convinced They are
Source Of Profit in Maury County.

One farmer in the county who al
ways has had and still has an abiding
faith in sheep as profit-makers as well
as soil builders, is r. l.. Hays, of Ne
apolis. Mr. Hays probably had the
most profitable season the past year
that he has ever had and is naturally
more than ever convinced of the wis
dom of his policy.
During last summer Mr.. Hays pur
chased 200 Southern or Alabama ewes
for which he paid 81 each or total OF
$500. These sheep were carried
through the winter almost wholly on
pasture and this spring Mr.. Hays sold
the wool for an average Of SIPS pei
eve. He sold the ewes with their
lambs for $12 per pair. In other words
each eve bought last summer at g
cost Of 81, brought $13.55 This was
an advance over the purchase price Of
1885. At most liberal estimate $2.5t
was all that should be allowed fol
the pasture, making the profit on the
investment 81 per head or $14OO. This
is SITS per cent in a year on the orig
inal price paid.
Mr.. Hays said this morning that he
was sorry that he would not be able
to get this class of sheep in sufficient
quantities for his customers this year
However, he and Mr.. Wright have {
pretty good bunch of sheep which they
are offering for sale.
