IS QUIETER. THAN
 EVER BEFORE

Frontier Days 1920 passed more quietly for the peace officers than any previous celebration, according to the sheriff's office, which had little over the behavior of the crowds. Less disorder was experi- enced this year than last.
 Chief of Police Tom McMahn and his officers handled the unusual trat- fife situation without a slip. It was out of the ordinary to see traffic dir ectors on the main corners, but there were enough vehicles on the streets to make it necessary.
 Visito.s ; and contestants remained over yesterday and there was none of that morning-after the night be- fore aspect to the streets, such as has followed previous celebrations.
 Fourth of July passed without any large resounding noises, the city hay ing prohibited fireworks in,the hands of the youngsters. However, this feature of the Independence Day was not particularly missed by the older folks.
 The best band the Frontier Days celebration has ever had is the judg- ment of music lovers on Pop Mil 1er's aggregation of players this year The concerts in the plaza and at the grounds were distinguished features iof the show.
 Cooperation of the merchants who closed their stores Monday so that their crews could attend the celebra- ton was deeply appreciated by the management.
 Possibly the largest crowd as sembled any one place except at the grounds was that which attended the Firemen's Ball Monday night. The iattendonce was a deserved tribute to the efficient fire department

Roosevelt, assistant sec retary of the navy and democratic candidate for vice president, received quietly but with elation, the news that its favorite political son had been named as running mate to Governor Cox.

Schlosser, who was a candidate for reelection. Roosevelt was success ful, rolling up a majority of 356 in the democratic landslide which car ried John A. Dix into the governor chair.
