On the other hand it Is expected that
the Democrats will take their cue from
many things done badly or left undone
by the Republicans. 1t is confidently
believed that the Democratic conven-
tion will make stronger appeal for
ratification of the suffrage amendment
than the Republican platform contained;
that 1t will make a strong bid for the
vote of organized labor; that it will
insert prohibition law enforcement

Martin declined to make any state

ruling of the court, of course, would
be abided by
Martins action in refusing to ap-
prove the contract of Smith came after

NJ 'ADOO PICKED

STANDARD BEARER
Republicans Agree That He
Would Make the Strongest
Candidate and Democrats
Say the Same Thing.
BY GEORGE NORRIS.

The leaders in the Chicago conven
ton were of course concerned pri-
marily with the selection of a Repub-
lican candidate, but scarcely of secon-
dary consideration was their concern
oyer the selection of a Democratic can
didate to be chosen by the San Fran

II was the concensus of opinion hat
William G. McAdoo will be Ihe Demo
cratic nominee and the Republicans re-
gard him as the most formidable op-
ponent in the list of prospective cam
didates.
1t was the consensus of opinion that
even the Republicans did not share the
opinion of w. f. McCombs, manager
Of Mr.. Wilson's first campaign, who
has declared that McAdoo will not be
acceptable because the people will not
relish the idea of the succession of the
crown prince
The Republicans were asked what ef-
tect 1t would have on the people to
nominate the son-i law of the preSi-
dent and the answer uniformity was
none" They pointed out that Mr.. Nc
Adoo was member Of the cabinet and
in charge of perhaps the most i'm
portant post of the government and
operating 1t successfully before he mar
ried the daughter of the president. Be-
sides, Mr.. McAdoo is about as old as
his father-in-law and has arrived at
the position he holds as political fac
tor without assistance from any source
except his own ability.
The consensus of opinion, further,
was that Mr., McAdoo would be the
nominee. There was no doubt that he

Judge Mccall Monday entered an or

Judge Mccall took the case under

Wrong Construction.

In the opinion filed Monday, Judge
Mccall stated that such construction
would deprive each club Of the right
to select and contract for players de-
sired, and would place within power
of the president of the association to
, select every player on all clubs and to
arbitrarily reject such players as did
not suit his fancy; According to the
opinion, this would make him master
Of all clubs of the association. making
it possible forshim to control or great
ly influence the contest for the pen
nant. Such construction would mean
that owners of clubs who back them
financially, would place in the hands OF
one man, the destiny of each club. :.
The court is of the opinion that 1t
is the duty of president of the associa-
tion to approve a contract executed be-
tween president Of a club and players,
and it is not within the province of the
president Of the association to deter
mine who shall play on any team but
is his duty to see that contract meets
all requirements of bylaws, rules and
regulations of the association.

That 1t is more dihicult to induce a

sales OF farms with an aggregate valua-
ton of 1885. 400
In report Just issued by the agency
showing the movement or farm buyers
during the past years, Maine stands
out as the real champion of the oft
repeated injunction to patronize home
industries. OF the 125 buyers found in
Maine during the year by the agency;
all but is purchaser Maine farms. and
at the same time al buyers from other
states came to Maine and did likewise.
The total number. Of sales by the
agency in Maine during the year was
20. and OF these buyers more than Sc
per cent. were brought with their fam
lilies from other states of the Union
and from Alaska, Canada and Cuba.
while less than onehalf of one per
cent. Of the 34iS farms sold by the agen-
cy in other sections Of the country were
bought by residents of Maine.
