Have you ever tried the
fishing tackle made and
sold by c. F. Orvis Co., at
Manchester, VT? Right
here near at home is manu-
featured the best line of
rods, reels, flies, lines, etc,
to be found in the United
States.
There is more pleasure in
fishing with good tackle
and it is easier to land the
best fish. Also the tackle
will last so much longer
that the actual cost is less.
Orvis & Co., tie their own
flies and every one is per-
feet. Now is the time to
place your order for flies
for the coming season. One
of those made by us will
outlast three of the cheap
machine made flies COM
monty sold and the cost
is only a trifle more. Send
us a trial order for flies
now. The price is $3.50 per
dozen.
We make rods for all
kinds Of fishing but our
speciality is trout rods for
either fly or bait fishing.
Write us what you want
and have one of the best
rods made.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-"My heart

said William j. Bryan to-day in giving
his reason for not making any ex-
tended statement on the WORK Of the
Democratic National Convention.
My views on the conventions action
in reference to the Endorsement of pro
hlbition are known" said Mr. Bryan.
Il regard 1T as very serious mistake
1T opened the door to the nomination of
wet candidate. I need not repeat here
what have said before in regard to the
evasion of other issues"
When asked if he would have auv-
thing TO do with the third party move
ment. which begins its convention in
Chicago July 10, or would indorsc It's
candidate, Bryan replied:
II do not care to discuss any, other
movement. 1t took the Democratic con-
vention quite a while to decide on a
candidate and the individual voters
have about four months in which to
consider the claims of the candidates.
l shall use part of that four months
IN considering the question.
II Go not care to say anything about
Congressional plans, but the question
suggests a subject which the public
cannot overlook, namely, the importance
OF selecting Senate and House that

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-Franklin
d. Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of
the Navy, owes his nomination as the
democratic candidate for Vice Presi-
dent to an effort made by the managers
Of William G. McAdoo to challenge the
vote of the New York delegation on
the last ballots during the early morn
ing hours to-day, when the Democratic
National Convention nominated Cox
Wien the forty ballot showed
that Cox had majority and that dele
gates were going over to him in large
NUMBERS from the McAdoo camp man
ayers of the McAdoo campaign sent
word to the McAdoo supporters in the
New York, Illinois and other delega-
tions that had only a small represent
tation left sitting in the convention to
challenge the vote cast by the chair
men OF the delegations.
The McAdoo leaders in this way
hoped to reduce the Cox vote sufficient
~ to prevent stampede.
Mayor Lunn, of Schenectady, and
Rooseyelt, leader of the group of seven
teen New York delegates who voted for
McAdoo from the time that the dele
cation stopped voting for Governor AL
fred F.. Smith on the seventh ballot,
conferred, and decided to break the
agreement they made with Murphy
when the Tammany and Brooklyn dele
gates left San Francisco on special
trains Saturday and Sunday nights, and
challenge the vote of twenty for Nc
Adoo and seventy for Cox that Repre-
sentative Thongs F. Smith, secretary
or iammany and Of the delegation, was
casting on each ballot.
Lunn Challenged States Vote
When New York was reached on the
forty third ballot Mayor Lunn did
challenge the votes cast by New York.
His action caused a great stir in the
delegation, and after a few minutes of
heated argument with Murphy and
Representative Smith he withdrew the
request.
The vote of New York was recorded
as 70 for McAdoo and 70 for Cox on
the balFet, and the delegates section
IN the convention again was in tur
moil.
Immediately after the result of the
ballot was announced Mayor Lunn
moved an adjournment, but his motion
was defeated overwhelmingly. Before
the forty fourth and final ballot was
taken Lunn and Representative Smith
held conference, at which the agree
rent to support Roosevelt for any Of

Borough President Maurice E. Con-
molly of Queens yesterday sent letters
to the members of the board Of direc-
tors and to the officers of the New York
e. Queens County Railway Company,
calling attention to the alleged unsafe
condition Of the rails and roadbed of
the concerns lines and warning them
that they could be held personally and
crimnally liable if an accident were
caused thereby.
Among those to whom the Borough
President wrote are Charles +. Dunlap,

"At the time of the Malbone acct

held that the directors were not re-
sponsible because they did not have the
proper notice. We do not propose to
have any such situation here in Queens
and for that reason I am sending each
director a personal letter calling his
attention to existing conditions.'
The company operates practically all
of the lines on the north shore of
Queens and carries daily upward of
100000 persons. According to Prcsi-
dent Connolly, there have been fifty
derailments on the lines during the
last six months.

LONDON, July 6.-The PROLONGED
struggle for the Democratic nomination
to-day featured the leading articles
of the British press, which received the
news of the selection Of Governor Cox
with almost as much surprise as the
choice of Harding occasioned. The
English had rather expected and Sc
cretly hoped that Ambassador Davis
would be nominated.
1t is the general opinion here that
Senator Harding will prove successful
largely because of dissatisfacti with
President Wilson'S policy. 1t is equally
true that the British prefer the Demo
cratic to the Republican platform he
cause the former is more specifc on
the question of the treaty and the
League Of Nations.
British More Optimistic
On the other hand, the British con-
slider that the Republican platform per
mits broad Interpretation, and that
Harding can support the league if he
SO desires. Consequently, the British
view the coming election more opti-
unsteady than they did at the close of
the Senate debate on the treaty.
Ambassador Davis, who considered
himself 1000 to l shot, cabled CON
gratulations to Governor Cox, as fol
lows:
"My heartiest congratulations upon
your nomination. You can and will

Inc day after ne arrived senator
Harrison told friends that he had no.
ticcd during his speech to the Demo-
cratic convention Of Mississippi, held
that Mississippi Democrats applauded
more spontaneously and enthusiastic
ally the name of McAdoo, with Gov
ernor Cox a close second.
Therefore, the intention of Harrison
was to be for McAdoo, with Cox as his
second choice. Then came the telegram
from McAdoo declaring he was not a
candidate. Harrison accepted the state
ment at 100 per cent and went up to
the room of Judge E. II. Moore, Of
Ohio, to discuss the situation.
When he came out the votes of Mis-
sissippi were nailed to the Cox mast to
stay, and they formed from that
moment part of the solid Cox
eight votes of Ohio.
Harrison not only held his delegation
for Cox, but he fought for the Cox
forces all over the floor, his great per-
sonal popularity telling with deadly
effect in pulling delegates into line for
Cox at a time when all the strength
of the Anti-Saloon League was conferred
in an effort to hold Cox down and build
up a fixed idea that it would be i'm
possible to nominate him.
Harrison became virtually the chief
lieutenant of Judge Moore, Cox's man
ager, and he aided the Ohio leader in
putting over some Of the shrewd moves
which combated the theory that Cox
never could reach two-thirds majority.
1t is the opinion of many Of the
shrewdest leaders in the party that
had Harrison been fighting for McAdoo
as he fought for Cox, and had he been
holding the twenty votes of his dele

thirds majority on Saturday night

tory"
Ambassador Davis had told his
friends Immediately after Senator
Harding was nominated that he be-
ilcved Governor Cox had an excellent
chance to get the Democratic nomina-
ton, because Ohio was pivotal state.
In the ambassadors opinion neither
Palmer nor McAdoo enjoyed the ma
tional strength of the Ohio Governor.
Colonel House, who had been in con-
slant consultation with Ambassador
DAVIS since his arrival here, was also
one of those not surprised by the Sc
lection. The astute Texan had made o
forecast of Cox's nomination for stra-
tegical reasons. The fact that both
ured all the long sketches published
here.
Little known of Cox
The conventions decision was re-
celved too late for extended editorial
comment and too littlesis known about
the views of Governor Cox on nterna-
more than the hope that he will sup
port of the league.
The Evening Standard" says;
He is a man of great strength of
character, who from lowly beginning
has made a fortune. He is one OF
President Wilson's most loyal support
ers, and carried Ohio for the Presi-
dent"
The Evening News" says:
Senator Harding and Governor Cox
both respond very we'll to the more
powerful streams of sentiment in the

Say Berlin Hides Money
In Neutral Countries

GENEVA, July 6.-Several
Swiss newspapers say that Ger
many should be obliged at Spa
to make known what amount of
German capital has been placed
in neutral countries since the
armistice. They assert that Ger
many has deposited 200,0o0,O00
Swiss francs in Zurich banks,
ostensibly for commerce, and it
is reported that similar deposits
have been made elsewhere.
The newspapers charge that
these deposits are designed to
evade the financial clauses of the
Treaty of Versailles and support
the contention Of Germany's i'm
poverishment.
