edent established in the Baltimore
convention, when the party nominated

Fitzgerald Defends Rule
Fitzgerald, spokesman for the state
organization, said that the invocation
of the unit rule was in the interest
of harmony in the organization and in
accordance with the sentiment of the
voters.
"If Governor Smith IS not nominate d
for President, he will be a candidate
for reelection as Governor and we
want to elect him." said Mr.. Fitz-
gerald.
Don't We want to elect a United
States Sere tor, too?" asked John w.
Mack, of Poughkeepsie, speaking for
the objectors.
"Certainly," said Mr.. Fitzgerald.
"Well," said Mack, 1--WE have the
nominee right here in the person of
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt. The
fact is that New York and Buffalo are
trying to run the whole state"
Mayor Lunn, of Schenectady, Manton
Wyviil, Of Allegany, end Hiram r.
wcod, Of Monroe County, followed
with brief statements supporting the
argument of Judge Seahury. The COM
mittec then adopted a resolution re-
Jeoting the unit rule in states where
delegates are elected by districts under
mandatory law.
Following the adjournment of the
convention to-day, Representative
Thomas F. Smith announced that the
Tammany special will leave for the
East Saturday night by way of Port
land. Seattle, the Canadian Pacific,
Ottawa and Montreal. Mr.. Smith
said that the leaders and nearly all
of the delegates would remain at the
convention, but that the train would
have to leave, as it was impossible to
get permission from the railroad COM
pany to postpone departure for day
or two, unless the passengers were
willing to pay a double fare.
Governor Smith and family will
leave for the Hawaiian Islands within
d lew UdyS.
Gerard Closeted With Murphy
After the adjournment of the con-
vention this afternoon a conference
took place in Norman E. Mack's suite
in the Palace Hotel. James w. Gerard
who has the backing of the South Da-
kota delegates for first place on the
ticket, and William T. McCombs were
closeted with Charles F. Murphy and
Mr.. Mack. Afterward the former Am
bassador to Germany said that he was
still in the race and that the conference
with Mr.. Murphy was without signiti-
canoe.
Mr.. McCombs, who was the chairman
of the National Committee in the first

CIGARETTE LAW is
WORRYING LEGISLATORS

Already the members of the next
legislature are beginning to worry
about the cigarette legislation now
sure to come before the session.
TIL American Legion is after the
repeal of that part of the law re-
lating to selling cigarettes to adults.
They favor the law applied to minors
with on increase in the penalty and
more stringent regulations, but they
balk at not being allowed to buy the
pills themselves.
Personally the Democrat is not
concerned in the matter, but we do
believe that the changing of the law
would be more helpful in abolishing
the the cigarette as it affects the
coming generation. Stringent rules
could be made which would make
it practically impossible for minor
to secure cigarettes and the fact
that adults could buy them legally
would help.
AS the law now stands it is no
more serious offense to sell to a
minor than to an adult and this has
tendacy to allow minors to buy
them wherever they are sold illleg-
ally. 81
But the legislators are booking
ahead. On one side is the Legion vote
while on the other is the woman
vote. and the lawmakers must sacri-
flee one or the other. II is ticl,lish
place to be located if they desire
to Ego back" anothr time.

Her relations with the slain man
are made apparent by the inscription
in the diary, when she wrote:

never would have become his sweet
hart if he had not promised faith
fully to marry me. The oil of his
soul that fed the flames of desire for
cruelty must exhaust itself and /
was doomed to become a victim.
Murder had no place in his in
sanity, but to destroy innocense, to
kill virtue. to murder soul, those
are common to him."
Sensing the tragedy to come later
one day she wrote: "Ere my life is

Equity Association at tn court house
in Liberal next Wednesday after
noon at | 80 at which time Cal Bur
roughs, organizer for the National
Wheat Growrs Association will be
present in an effort to interest the
members in the organization.
This is comparatively new

to Equity members is not a part Of
the Equity program. However, we
learn that the two organizations
should be correlated.
A good attendance of farmers is
desired at this meeting for if there
is anything the farmer can do to
better the price of farm products he
should be doing it zealously.

Any Previous Time. All Sections
Getting Benefit of Street Funds
in Providing Better Thorough
fares

At no previous time in the history
has there been so much or so salts
factory street improvement in pro-
press as at the present time. Street
Commissioner Wilson, whith the as
sistance of his son and Chas. Wood
engineers, is running the two
tractors owned by the city.
In addition to the Fordson bought
some time ago the city has purchased
of the Liberal Buick Company with
which to pull the big grader. It was
found that the Fordson was too light
for te big machine, so it will be used
exclusively for dragging and can be
seen on the streets any time the
ground is in condition.
The street work is extending to
the extreme limits of the city and
streets which have never before been
graded are being put up in fine
shape and this is a great improve
ment in the appearance Of the city.
The paving has caused demand
on the part of the residents of un-
paved streets for improvement, and
the council has inaugurated a cam
paign for the betterment of all
streets of the city, and this is COM
mendable, as nothing adds more to
the appearance of town than nice
streets

 "She smoked my tobacco" said Morton.
 DO you smoke?" asked the judge.
 ''Oh, yes"
 Well, hasn't she as much right to smoke as you?'
 Of course she hasn't. She is my wife. Wives shouldn't smoke"
 Well no man who himself smokes gets a divorce from this court just because his wife, too smokes" stated the court, but he added that since the evidence showed ths woman had deserted her husband he might have a decree.
