Promoters Of Pur.bred Pig Clubs.
In various carts of the State
parties have .his year been oper.
ating promoting the formation
of Purebred Sow Clubs. The
farmers in a Community give
their order for sows that are
guaranteed to be with pig and the
sows are later shipped up to the
farmers.
The formation of Purebred
Sow Clubs in a Community is un-
questionably a very praise
worthy under taking, but it is
the opinion Of the County Agent
that the farmers in a Communi-
ty can secure better stock
cheaper. by deciding what breed
Of hogs they wish to raise, and
then enlist the aid of someone
conversant in the pedigrees Of
that class of stock and visiting
the breeders Of that breed who
have built a reputation for their
stock. and for their integrity
and honesty in dealing and CO.
operativcly purchasing the stock
desired.

Public Forum

TO the Editor: Welcome to the
Eslks who are here in our city as vis~
itors. 1t is commendable and benefit
ting for Salem to decorate our city
in their honor and use the red, white
and blue to do so but why desecrate
The most. sacred emblem of that or
der and of the state and nation by
draping the flag all over our build
ines?
No good citizen would wifully
stand by and see our flag trampled
upon, yet, when we stop to think,
this is just as much a desecration of
It's honor.
It is forbidden by the laws of Ore
gon to make drapery of our flag
and is against the constitution of the
United States and those using it IN
such a manner subject themselves to
the liability OF prosecution.
What does the flag symbolic
The declaration of the principles of
the nation it represents.
When will the American citizen
learn to respect our national emb-
lem?
Yours for the protection of our
flag,

Democratic Convention Snapshots
The Story of Nominations
By A. H. VANDENBERG

+ (ficed to have plank upholding the
gold standard" struck out.
At $40 o'clock in the morning Of
July 9-after an all night session.
the convention took it's first and only
presidential ballot. 1t stands on the
official record as giving Judge Alton
B. Parker of New York exactly a two
thirds majority with 667 votes. Will
liam r. Hearst was in second place
with 1876 votes, and a field of II
other candidates divided the rtmnant
of 165 votes.
Henry G. Davis of West Virginia
was then nominated for vice presi-
dent on a single roll call, which was
made unanimous after an original
division showed Davis with 654 votes
against a field of three as follows
James r. Williams, Illinois, 1856;
George Turner, Washington, 100; ex-
Senator william A. Harris, Kansas,
5S.
AS soon as the news of the conven-
tion's action reached him at his home,
Judge Parker wired that he could
not accept the nomination except as
the convention understood him to
regard the gold standard as firmly
and irrevocably established" There
upon, by vote of TIA to 191, the
convention passed a resolution that
it did not regard the question of the
monetary standard as "a possible is
sue in the campaign" and there was
nothing in the views expressed in
Parker's wire to preclude his accept
ance of the nomination.
This campaign resulted in the elec
ton of Roosevelt and Fairbanks.

Three high spots stand out in the

Louis on July 6-(1) the unsuccessful
effort to galvanize ex-President Grow

insistence of Judge Alton B. Parker
of New York upon the gold stand
ard' ere he would accept the con-
vention's nomination for president.
John Sharp Williams of Missis-
sippi was TEMPORARY chairman of the
convention. He precipitated the con-
vention's first great demonstration
when he pronounced a glowing eu
logy upon Cleveland, whose name
had been prominently featured in
pre-convention gossip and negotia-
tions for many weeks. This ovation,
however, was as far as the Cleveland
movement ever went. His name did
not appear upon the ultimate roll
call.

of gossip-in a pleasant enough
way. Being much interested IN her
neighbors, she liked to talk apout
their affairs. And now she tolu
everyone that Buster Bumblebee was
going to have a fine new house. ana
that the Carpenter was going to ould
it for him.
Naturally, Busters friends all told
him that they were glad to hear Oh
his good fortune. And Wiener any
one mentioned the matter, Buster
promptly invited him to come to a
party that he intended to give as
soon as his new home was ready to
move into
"Mrs. Ladybug tells me that L

Buster explained. And though some
of his neighbors didn't know what
he meant by that, they said "Of
course!" and tried to look wise.

the whole affalr lnat dililoyeu bus-
ter: when people asked him when
his new house would be finished ne
was unable to tell them.
'Well, when is the Carpenter going
to start building it?" they would
ask. And he could only reply that
as soon as the Carpenter completed
the addition to his own house he had
promised to begin to build Busters.
Now, many people were satisfied
with that answer But there We're
some, they were the curios ones, that
insisted on knowing exactly when
that would be. And then there was
