THE BENNINGTON
 TO BE RENAMED
WAS GRANTED PERMISSION BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
 COMMERCE.

SEATTLE, July 12. The depart ment of commerce has granted the Alaska Steamship Company permis- sion to rechristen the steamer Ben nington, and she will sail for the north Friday evening with the name Valdez on her bows and pilot house. She was built at the yards of the Great Lakes Engine Works at Ecorse. Mich, eight years ago.
 The rechristening of vessel is far from a simple procedure and the changing of the name of the Benning- ton was no exception to the rule.
 The government requires that vessel must be free of debt before she can be rechristened. The Alaska Steamship Company made application to the department of commerce for permission to change the name of the Bennington and was informed that 1t would be necessary to investigate the record of the steamer at Buffalo, N. r., her last port of registry. Buffalo gave the Bennington clean bill, free from debt, but while Investigating the reputation of the vessel it was learn ed that she had been previously reg istered from Detroit, so the whole procedure had to be gone over again in Michigan.
 The company received word from Washington that the Bennington was a vessel of good reputation at her old home ports, that she had paid all her debts at Detroit and Buffalo and that the changing of her name would not be in the nature of the adoption of an alias to hide any irregularity or crime committed either on the Great Lakes or the Atlantic.
 The Bennington will be rechristened the Valdez, Friday and will said for Nome, St. Michael and Kotzebue sound ports with cargo of 5000 tons of gasoline, coal and general mer- chandise, including a quantity of freight for points on the Yukon river. She will go north in command of Capt. Thomas Moore, formerly master of the Cordova.

"PARTY MADE GOOD"
Senator James, AS Chairman, Praises
Work Ci Democracy.

The achievements of the Wilson
administration in enacting beneficial
legislation and in keeping the coun-
try at peace without sacrifice of the
national honor were pronounced
epoch making in American history by
Senator Ollie NJ James, of Kentucky,
in his address at st. Louis as perma-
ncnt chairman Of the Democratic ma
tional convention.
During three years Of its national
CONTROL" said Senator James, "de-
mocracy has enacted into law more
progressive remedial legislation than
the nation has ever written upon
its statute books since its birth. In
former rational contests in the last
two decades our party came as a
prophet Today we come with deeds,
not words; with performance, not
promise. The Democratic party has
kept its word with the American peo-
pie. We have made good"

GLYHN STRIKES KEYNOTE,
Democratic Temporary Chairman
Calls Amercanism, Peace,
Preparedness, Prosper
ity, the Issues.

In his keynote speech before the
Democratic national convention the
temporary chairman. Ex-Governor Mar
tin II. Glynn of New York, acclaimed
Woodrow Wilson as among the great
est patriots and presidents America
has produced and warmly eulogized his
course in keeping the country out of
the European war. No president since
the civil war, he said, has had as cru
cial problems to solve, and no president
has displayed grasp more sure, q
craftsmanship more profound. Declar-
fng that Americanism and peace, pre-
paredness and prosperity are the issues
upon which the Democratic party
stands, he predicted the re election of
President Wilson.
BY the records Of history Mr.. Glynn
maintained that If Washington and
Lincoln were right President Wilson
was right. The neutrality that Presi-
dent Wilson stands for today was ad-
vocated by Washington, by Hamilton,
by jefferson and by Lincoln. By citing
precedents in which, he said, the Unit
ed States had cause for declaring war
and still kept the peace Mr.. Glynn JUS
tilted and defended the course of the
president in the Lusitania sinking and
similar incidents. Mr. Glynn said:
In the face of this record do Republic
ans realize that when they arraign the
policy of the president of the United
States today they arraign the policy of
Harrison, of Blaine, of Lincoln and of
Grant? For the pleasure of criticising a
Democratic president are they willing
to read out of the Republican party The
greatest men the Republican party ever
had?
