of Democratic

The whistle at the Arkansas Valley
Railway. Light and Power Company at
o'clock this morning. announced 10
the people of the Canon City district
the nomination of Gov. James B. Cox
Of Ohio for the presidency by the
Democratic national convention in
San Francisco. The nomination WAS
made at l 40 this morning, San Fran
cisco time, and the news was tele-
phoned to The Daily Record from Den
yer at 1905. or little more than an
hour a tfrethe selection had been
made. The engineer at the power
plant was Immediately informed of the
nomination. 1t was decided in view
of the short time that would elapse
before daylight not to apprise the
public of the nomination until $50
and unnecessarily disturb its slumber
becouse of the more or less strenuous
observance of Mondays holiday. This
clay was among the first in the state
outside of Denver, Pueblo and Colo
rado Springs to learn OF the nomina-
tion of Gov. Cox by the Friscon con-
vention.

Philippine Labor
Against BOlshevik

MANILA, p. l., July 3.-The eighth
annual meeting of the Labor Con-
gress of the Philippine Islands went
on record as opposing the doctrines of
Bolshevism. The congress also aGopt-
ed resolutions favering an eight-hour
day and woman suffrage.
Jacinto Manahan (Filipino), secre-
tary of the congress, explaining the
action the meeting said:
THE question of Bolshevism was
brought before the congress for the
purpose of sounding the opinions OF
the members and it was completely
rejected. The doctrine was rejected
because it is against a democratic
form of government, because it is in
favor of and is practicing compul-
sorry or forced labor, which is against
the eight-hour demand of Filipino la
borers and because Bofshevism re
quires obligatory military service.
"The Filipino laborer. being a pa
cifist, is in favor OF the abandonment
of war"
The congress also favored compul-
sorry attendance of children and op-
posed participation of the labor con
gress in any political movement. ex-
cept when any such movement en-
dangers the welfare of the labor ele-
ment."

Canon City Has
Quiet Holiday

There being no public celebration
of independence day here this year
Canon City people oos-i ved the occa-
sion in a variety of ways. although
the event was commemorated in some
form by all of them.
Most of those owning automobiles
either motored to Florence or Salida.
where big celebrations were staged.
or spent the day picnicking in the
nearby mountains. Scores of them
enjoyed an outing at the top Of the
Royal Gorge, or along the scenic high
ways within easy driving distance OF
town. There were dozens of such
gatherings at points along the river
road between Parkda1e and Cotopaxi.
The Phantom canon highway was also
a favorite with picnickers and assem-
blages of celebrants were TO be seen
at intervals along its course from Are
Iaide almost as far up as Victor. A
small number of Canon City people
took in the celebrations at Guffey and
Pueblo. A few people went to Colo
RADIO Springs and the Wet Mountain
valley for the. day. Some of those
going TO the former place made the
trip to the top of Pixies Peak. People
without automobiles, constituting the
majority of the community, remained
at home and. in many instances, en-
joyed family picnics or neighborhood
gatherings under their own vine and
fig tree" or in the city parks.
There were a few automobile acci-
dents during the day, but in only one
case hereabouts was there any fatal
fly. The death of woman killed on
the Colorado Springs-Canon City high
way is recounted in another place in
this issue of The Daily Record. A
number of private fireworks displays
in the evening completed the days
so far as Canon City was
concerned. To some of our people. the
days observance was strenuous one,
but to the majority of them it was one
of quiet restfulness.

BUOYANCY DEVELOPS
 IN CORN MARKET ON STRENGTH OF GRAIN
Oats Also Went Up, While Provisions Reflected the Strength of Hogs and
 Grain In General
By Associated Press

Chicago, January 5.-Buoyancy de veloped in the corn market today largely as result of unusual strength in prices for rye, wheat oats and hogs. The close was strong, 2la to S!s net higher, with May s154ls to s1.Sis4 and July $.S2% to s13s. Oats finished a4c to l cent up; pro- visions gained 10 to 80 cents.
 Upturns in the value of corn attained their greatest momentum after rye and wheat sold at a new top record fora the season, and oats were within a fraction of the hest figures on the present crop. This combination proved 10 be more than the bears in corn could successfully op- pose, as from the outset they had been handicapped by sharp advance in the |hog market and by stormy weather mov~
 ing eastward from the Missouri river.
 Besides receipts were smaller than q majority of traders had expected and there were predictions that the long looked for increase of the crop move nent would now come before next week. Export sales of 50o,ooo bushels at the seaboard stimulated the oats market nae So, too, did export sales of l,po,o0 bushels of rye.
 Provisions reflected the strength oi hogs and grain. Lard and ribs went tC the highest level yet this season.

New Orleans. January 5.-After pe- riod of strength in the early trading to- day the cotton market turned unsettled feeling much liqui lation from holders of long contracts and declining sharply on the near months, although the distant po- sitions made a show of holding their own, particularly October, which ap- neared to be the center of the speculative demand. On the close prices were net unchanged to 60 points higher. January being unchanged while October was e points up. Spot quotations were revised and while the revision favored the seller the changes in prices widened the dis count on contracts, middiing being ad- vanced to 40e while the closing price or January was ?9.s0c.
 The opening was higher and the m. provenlert was maintained for some time on very strong Liverpool. January rose to 41.09c an1 the trading monthr stood % to 57 points over last week E close. Offerings increased and the mar ket fell off until it stood 20 points down to 2S points up. compared with last weeks final prices IT. the afternoon there. were recoveries which were particularly strong on October, which month finally went tc an advance of 7e points SOther monthe did not quite reach their former high ley els, and this irregularty was even more marked on the close. Pressure on Jan uary appeared to come largely from liqui- dating longs.

Over Private Wires
S. K. Stuart & Co.'s Letter

New Orleans, January 5.-Liverpool sent very strong cables for both spots and contract markets, with demand totaling 10000 bales at equal 10 64.9Sc The close there was at some conces- sions. but 43 to 53 above the opening. W3len our market opened Liverpool had not declined and prices here were l9 to 40 points over the previous close, ranging b for January to 70 for July. January being so near the spot quota tions at the opening, tenderable basis. i- showed the least expansion.
 Exports for the week so far Owo dsys) total 96,o00 bales, against 5000 bales for the same time last year. The spot situation. both here and abroad. holds the market and is appa rently too strong to permit of anything but a temporary decline for the present.
 Buying by Liverpool again noted today. The advances met hedge sell ing, much of it robably against large purchases in the south Saturday, and free profit taking through commission houses. There was nothing in the way of news except the sensationally strong cables. Sentiment in the northern market has again become reactionary. John F. Clark & Co
