REMARKABLE WEATHER,
Hottest Day So Far This Year Regis
tered so Degrees.

The present season has been a re-
markable one from a weather view
point, but little hot weather being
experienced so far during the year,
although it is now almost the middle
of July. Cool weather, has prevailed
so far and especially is this true of
the nights, only once this year has
the mercury climbed over the 80 mark
and that one time was on Sunday,
June 16, when it reached 80 degrees
On June II it reached 80 and on May
II it reached 49,
This cannot be considered warm
weather if the usual summer temper
atures are taken into account as
generally during July and August the
thermometer registers above 80 de-
grees for weeks at a time. The wealth
er has been fine for small grains but
now warm weather is needed for the
corn crop The rainfall has been
abundant.

A Jefferson county man was given
a place on the democratic state ticket
at the conference held in Milwaukee
on Wednesday. o. F. Roessler, editor
| OF the Jefferson Banner, was nOminat-
/ ed for secretary of state. The conven-
| ton refused to accept a resolution
presented by the resolutions commit
tee endorsing the federal prohibition
| amendment and woman suffrage
incidentally the convention did not
| accept the suggestion which has been
prominently urged for some time past
by leading factors in the democratic
party in Wisconsin, that the demo-
Gratis should go on record as favoring
legislation prohibiting the teaching of
German in the graded schools of the
state.
The endorsement of candidates by
the convention was to some extent
minor portion of the program. For
only one office, that of state treasurer
was there more than single candi-
date and although a suggestion was
offered that the state central commit
tee should assist in the circulation of
nomination papers for other candi-
dates before the democratic primary
election for nominations, it is not
likely that any candidates will appear
in the field save those who were
given a convention endorsement on
Wednesday,

Fight Over Dry Issue.


| The climax of the convention was
reached in the fight over the prohibit
ton constitutional amendment ques-
| ton, although the fight was of short
duration and was promptly ended
when by viva vOce vote the delegates
with unmistakeable emphasis refused
to indOrse the plank of the resolution
committee. The debate over the Ger
man language question was more ex-
tended but the delegates, although in
terested, did not seem to consider
this question so vital as the prohibit
ton issue.
| The resolutions of the conference
as adopted are almost entirely devot-
| ed to the war issue and beginning
with a congratulatory message to the
soldiers in the trenches they applaud
the course of the national administra-
ton in the war and declare in high
| terms of praise the faith of the demo-
cratic party of Wisconsin in the lead
ership of Woodrow Wilson, Mention is
made Of the administration efforts to
stop profiteering, which is con-
/
to curb prOfteers are commended
| The resolutions also applaud the
president for the communicating of
the railroads, the federal reserve
bank legislation and for the farmers
loan bank enactment
Criticism is expressed of the admin
istratiOn in Wisconsin Of Gov. Philip
who is decried as a trailer rather than
a leader in the war cause of the ma
ton.
| Clifford For Congress.
| The question Of who should run for
congress in the Second congressional
district was decided when the delega-
tons from the various counties met
in caucus. The field lay between John
Clifford of Juneau and Senator Charles
Mulberger of WATERFOWL Senator
Mulberger had made no campaign for
the honor, but left the matter wholly
with the delegates, as did also Mr.
| Clifford. The latter was the choice of
the delegation following a vote Had
Mr.. Mulberger put forth any effort for
| the place or had announced that he
was an avOwed candidate he ur--
doubtedly would have been the choice
AS it is, a good, loyal man has been
selected to make the race and prObab-
ly will not have any opposition at the
primary election.

The average loan per subscriber for
the three loans is $2245S. For the third
loan, taking out several subscriptions Of
large amounts, the average per sub.
scriber would hardly figure up to si00.

have been contributed by the people
here towards carrying on the war.

Total Subscriptions to Three
Bond Issues Now Nearly
Million and Half

When the first Liberty Loan was Of
fered to the people Of Salem, there vas
only 543 people in the city who respond
ed to the first call of the government
for help in raising money to carry ON
the war.
When the second liberty loan was Of
fered, the people of the city had be-
come awakened to some extent that
money was required to win the war, and
1856 subscribed to the loan.
But when the Third Liberty loan was
Offered, the western drive was on, peo-
pie become aware Of the vast import
ance of money in carrying OH war, and
subscriptions were received from 4,206
by the four banks in the city.
In the first liberty loan, when only
543 subscribed, the total amount raised
in the city was $2O0,950, and average Of
$370.70 for each subscriber. A few large
subscriptions brought the average up
to this amount.
When the second liberty loan was Of
fered, the sum of 1923 100 was subserib.
ed by 1856 living in the city and vicin-
ity. The average for this second liberty
loan was s376.26. This average was also
caused by several large subscriptions.

Beast Is Made That Rebel
Companies Still Drill In
Remote Places
By Webb Miller

Omitted Press staff correspondence
Dublin May 22.--The Sim Fein in
Ireland is recovering from its first
shock of surprise and CONSERVATION.
1t is determinedly pushing plans to
resist CONSUMPTION, rebuilding its shat
tered organization, appointing new
leadens in the country districts and
strengthening its weak places,
The organization $ headquarters
boasts that Sim Fein companies arc
drilling in the more remote sections
of the country. Seveal aids in an eff
fort to steal arms and ammunition are
reported.
There are rumors that the govern
ment intends to confiscate the million
dollars in the anti-cOnscription fund.
As a result the Irish Independent ad-
vises local treasuers to take necessary
measures to protect the money.
Temporarily, the Sim Feiners have
turned their attention from the fate
of their leaders to preparation for re-
sistance to conscription which, they
fear, looms behind the present situa-
tiOn,
Meanwhile, the alliance with the ma
tionalists is becoming shaky. 1t lis only
held together by common fear of con
scription.
A large crack appeared at the Man
sion house when such a violent mani
