 simultaneously with the declaration ttiaI propagandas of Governor Major of Missouri, Governor Morehead of Me- braska and Roger Sullivan of Iilinois, crumpled up I/se shriveled Ieaf. There was never n doubt but that Marshall would be renamed. but until the Pres- ident spoke, the various aspirants for the vice presidency fluttered around with the impotency of butterflies and served to make dreary atmosphere sparkle with spectacular possibilities.
 ALL CUT AND DRIED
 As it is every phase of the situation is stereotyped. But for the fact that the national committee entered into a gentlemen s agreement''s to extend the convention through the third day, the work in hand could be consummated in an hour Tomorrow the convention will be organized Ex-Gov. Martin Glynn of New York will deliver the keynote ad- dress. Senator Ollie James will be chosen permanent chairman and the convention will be adjourned.
 Thursday the party will adopt it's plat h vyi11 ho la rat peace and preparedness. for tariff com mission. for a merchant marine and the initiation. of movement to conclude the European war. Prohibition and woman suffrage will be ignored, save for the bare statement that both, in the estima- tion of the party in matters for the ac- ton of the separate states
 Friday Alabama, on the call of the state, will yield to New Jersey and Will liam Westcott will nominate Woodrow Wilson for the presidency. Later Alabama will yield to Indiana and Thomas R. Marshall will be nominated for the vice presidency. Then will come adjournment.
 William Jennings Bryan tonight, as if in aswer to republican importunities that he bolt the democratic party, issued a statement in which he declared it would be unwise for democracy to indorse pro- hibition. He urged the adoption of a platform which would appeal to the pro gressives, whom Roosevelt has deserted.

West Point. N. Y. June 13.-President the presidential campaign begun, today discussed preparedness, militarism, Americanism, the causes of the war in
 Europe, peace, the Monroe doctrine di- vided allegiance, and the ideals of Am erica He declared it is the present inn perative duty of the United tSates to be prepared, adding:
 Mankind is going to know that when America speaks, she means what sne says
 The President said the United States should not be clustering nation, na- tion with "a chip on its shoulder but calm nation which will withhold it's hand as long as possible and strike only for victory.
 DISCUSSES SAME SUBJECTS The President address ran through almost the entire list of subjects dis cussed by former Justice Hughes in his l telegram accepting the republican, poni- nation, and he declared that the Unfted States is ready to join with other nat:1ns
 to see that the kind of justice it believes
 in is given.
 | President told the graduates of the Mili- tary academy and a, large audience that nobody who does not put America first cart be tolerated. He added, however, that true Americans should set good 1 example.
 1 The President declared the present war did not come by accident, but that it
 had to come. The United States wants nothing from Europe. he said and tkere ] is nothing she wants what she must get l by war. He sounded warnins that no | man can tell what the next day will bring forth in the worlds events. l The word "Americanism' was used to-
 day by the President for the first time in recent addresses. He constantly referred.
 to the West Point graduates, to whom he was speaking, but referred more to na- tional and international problems He warned the graduates against miitarism. l The Presidents speech was frequently i interrupted by applause and he was 1 cheered as he concluded. l President Wilson spoke in part as fol- lows:
 DEFINES AMERICANISM ] "We have drawn our people as you know from all parts of the world, and | we have been somewhat disturbed re- gently, gentlemen, because some of those, though I believe a very small number. l whom we have drawn into our citizen- ship, have not taken into their hearts the spirit of America and have loved other countries more than they loved the country of their adoption. We have l talked a great deal about Americanism. lit ought to be a matter of pride with us to know what Americanism really consists of.
 | "Americanism consists in utterly believ- ing the principles of America and put ting them first as above anything that might by chance come into competition l with it. And for my part, believe the | American test is spiritual test. If a man has to make excuses for what he has done as an American I doubt his Americanism He ought to know at every step of his actions the motives lying be-
 hind and that this motive is something
 which no American need be ashamed of
 for moment.
 .'Now we ought to put this test to
 every man we know. We ought to lot

A REAL CLOSE SHAVE.

But on his way returning home
He met great big grizzly bear"
At least so the song ran and likewise
so ran Willie Hartman. William has
been in the employ of the government
as fire fighter away back where bears
are all the go and as William returned
to his tent recently he met the afore-
said bear and after taking a good look
at each other Willie said "Shoo' but
bruin didn' It "shoo.o Then Willie
brought into action his trusty automa-
tic and let the brute have it about six
times this seemed to provoke the bear
who made for Will who in turn made
for tree-like wise the bear, but one
of the bullets had evidently injured a
front leg so that the bear, which by the
way was a silvertip, could not climb, of
this Mr.. Hartman is grateful, as that
tree was not near big enough for two.
Our advice to timber rangers is in the
future carry bean shooters, as that
would not anger bear nearly so much
sa 80 automatic and would kill him
just about as quick.-Stites Enterprise.

CREAMERY MADE FINE RECORD

During the month Of August the local
creamery turned out total of 1888
pounds of butter, or almost five tons of
the golden product during the month.
When it is considered that the creamery
has only been in operation since July
18th and had barely commenced to get
its patrons lined up, and that the pat
ronage could naturally be expected to
drop off materially during the past
month on account of the drying up of
pasture and the use of more cream on
the farm, during the harvest operations,
the record just made is very enviable
one and we doubt if it can be equalled
by any new creamery in the state
