How To Gain Flesh.

A simple bat sure way to increase
the weight. it is asserted by several
well known physicians, is to take reg

3 grain hypo-nuclane tablets after each
meal. These little tablets have the
distinguished merit of increasing the
red and white blood corpuscles, aiding
digestion and promoting assimilation
and absorption OF the elements in the
food which go 10 make blood and solid

Rheumatism is more than mere

THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE

The argument most frequently adj
vanced by those who urged the nom
nation of Governor Cox is the geo
graphical one.
Governor Cox carried the state of
Ohio three times. On the last occa-
sion in 1918. both houses of the Ohio
legislature and two thirds of the
congressional districts went republi-
can. as did the entire state ticket
from lieutenant governor down.
Cox was the only democrat elect
ed to state Office and he ran
seventy-fve thousand votes ahead of
the congressional ticket. A..
Cox was newspaper proprietor in
DAYTON md SpringReia.when IN Mas
elected to congress from the third
Ohio district in 1905.
He served two terms and was then
elected governor. but in the follow
ing campaign was defeated. Two
years later. however. in the presi-
dental year of 1916, he was again
elected governor and was reelected
in 1918.
Governor Cox has no distinctive
policy singing him out frop other
candidates insofar as national and
international questions aye CON
remed. In the matter of taxation
he believes that inheritance taxes
should be left to the states that the
excess profits tax should be done
away with and that half of what
would thus be lost could be made mp
by applying a tax of from one to
one and one-half per cent on the
volume of business.

San Francisco, July 6-Governor
Cox was nominated at l;i2 this
morning at the end of II session
which had lasted from ten o'clock
Monday morning. with recess from
u few minutes after six until eight
Monday evening.
A conference OF leaders during
this recess developed n general
agreement that the good of the party
demands the breaking Of the dead
lock without further DELAY. The Cox
leaders demanded another chance TO
put their candidate over and the Me-
Adoo forces agreed to hold their
delegates together through the night
and they agreed to later throw their
strength to Davis when there was no
further hope for their candidate.
A number of the Palmer leaders
also looked on Davis with favor. but
Tnmmnny opposed Davis bitterly.
The thiriy-cighth ballot developed no
great change in the lineup, with Me-
Adoo still leading with four hundred
and five and one.half votes. and Cox
second with three hundred and
eighty-threc and onc-hnlf. Palmer
Ind increased his vote in the later
bnllots. but los, ten and onc-half
votes between the thirty seventh and
thirty eighth. After the thirty
eighth ballot Palmer released his
delegates Internationally and the
convention recessed for twenty min
ntes 10 adiusi itself to the situntion.
The delegations which had voted
for Palmer became the center Of
great excitement and word wns
flashed over the wires TO expect a
ticket made up Of McAdoo for presi-
dent nnd Cox for vice president. and
failing that, dark horse.
However. the result Of the confer.
enccs during the recess was soon
manifested BY n swing to Cox. who
received the necessary two-thirds
vote on the forty fourth ballot.
Tho McAdoo leaders then moved
that the rules be suspended and the
nomination be made by ncclnmation.
This motion was cnrricd amidst II
below of joyous noise led by Ohio
nn-. The convention then adjourned
until noon today. when the vice
presidential nominee will be selected.

TWO INJURED As PLANE
FALLS BEFORE CROWD

Monday, July 5, at IL 80, in the
midst of the big celebration, all eyes
We're turned skywnrd to view the air
plane which was circling. over the
city. They were making IA beautiful
flight over the town and were high
IN the air going south. They made a
circle to the east and north doing
tail spin. They were up between
l4O0 and 1850 feet and started down
with the engine idling, and had made
five or six turns, intending to make
an upward sweep when the wind
blowing strong behind the wings pre-
vented them from making the upward
turn. thus causing them to come to
egrth with crash. Had they been
fortunate enough to have lit in the
plowed ground few rods TO the
south, they could have saved them
selves by glide. They come down
on the old railroad grade with the
nose of the machine crashing into
the bank. The machine was total
wreck.

ceived severe scalp wounds, . frnc-
ture of the left arm and was bruised

Mr.. White had his nose broken and
both arms bruised. Neither of the
men are seriously injured. They
were rushed to the Holyoke hospital
where Doctors Hill and Timmons
dressed their wounds. They are rest
ing easier this morning.
This is the fourth accident TO this

San Francisco, .Juhe 3-The real
battle of ballots is on today. Yes
terady's two ballots was only feel
ing out process. Far into the night
various candidates managers laid
plans for today.
The floor campaign supporters of
the three leaders all professed con
fidence, but McAdoo's friends were
trifle more optomistic than the
others. They still predicted victory
on the fifth or sixth ballot. Antici-
pating a deadlock between McAdoo,
Cox and Palmer, many of their fol-
lowers are ''looking for soft place
to light The majority of them
apparently have decided that AM
bassador Davis has the best chance.
1t is expected that Palmer's fol-
lowing will disintegrate in today's
balloting and be absorbed into the
,McAdoo and Cox columns. The
chances appeared little better than
even that McAdoo might get the me-
cessary two-thirds vote between the
fourth and eighth ballots. In the
event that McAdoo fails Cox would
then make drive for the goal and
if he should fall short the cOnven-
tion will turn to dark horse, pre-
sumably Davis. The Cox headquar
tiers issued statement that he would
be nominated before three o'clock
this afternoon.
The convention was called to order
today shortly before ten o'clock. The
third ballot for president followed
the opening prayer. Nominating
speeches for vice-presidental candi-
dates will follow after the selection
of the presidential candidate. and
then the balloiing for vice-president,
and adjournment after miscellaneous
motions.

san Fr,,hcisco. July 5-The trian-
gular deadlock showed no signs of
being broken when the convention
reconvened today. The followers of
the three leaders professed their in
tention ofkeeping up the fight indefi-
nitely.
There mhy be minor shifting in the
early batoting, but no decisive
changes. with an extreme unlikel-
hood of a1k one of the three leaders
being able to break the deadlock,
there is renewed talk of a dark horse
with the bames OF Davis, Colby.
Cummings Marshall. Champ Clark.
Senator Owens and Glass all mem
toned. However, Cox, McAdoo and
Palmer vi each take another whnck
at trying 10 60 over the top before
there will;be any compromise on II
candidate.
The Coz people base their hopes
on the fi h that Cox led from the
twelfth Not, and has virtually all
of the b bes with him except Will
son. Pnfnefs managers, however,
said that Palmer's delegates would
vote for him until the last ballot.
McAdoo's leaders had n big meeting
last night and will probably stage a
convention demonstration today in
hopes of cffccting stampede.
Oklahoma and West Virginia are
standing by Owen and Davis respec-
tively. Because of the dark horse
possibilities of their favoriie SOUS,
the prospects are for their continued
support from their own states.

RESUME OF DO|NGS At DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
FOR NOMINATION OF A PRES|DENT|AL CANDIDATE

San Francisco, July 2-The plat
form was. submitted to the conven-
tion by Chairman Glass of the reso-
lutions committee. The platform was
completed shortly after midnight
after prolonged committee wrang-
ling over prohibition. the league
and the Irish question. As the
platform is submitted by the com
mittee. it is silent on the wet and
dry question. 1t endorses the league
covenant with demand for prompt
ratification without nullifying re-
servations, but expresses willing
ness 10 accept clarifying reserva-
tions with respect to American obi
cations. 1t expresses sympathy for
lreland's aspirations, but makes no
referepce. to American recognition
of thesrepublic.. 1t rejects the ad-
ministRtion plank recommending ac-
ceptarIQk Of the Armenian mandate.
II pledges the democratic support
in aiding veterans to acquire farms
and homes, but no promise of
money bonus. was made. There are
strong planks OH labor, agriculture,
womens' interests and womens' suf-
frage. Tbe decision to remain silent
ON the liquor issue was made by
n vote of thirty for to twelve against.
Both the light wine and beer, and
Bryan's dry planks were defeated
by the same vote. Bryan expects
to carry the liquor fight to the floor
of the convention. The labor plank
was virtually written by Gompers.
The platform opens with greetings
to Wilson and "hails with patriotic
pride the achievements for our
country and the world wrought by
the democratic administration under
his leadership"
The railroad plank advocates a
