More than thirty in all were brought
in and held up together, while McAdoo
men went wild again.
Some Of the emblems were tattered
and crushed out of shape and from
one the name had been torn entirely
New York, Georgia, Indiana, Connec-
ticut, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Ohio,
Iowa, Virginia and Maryland were
among the standards which were kept
in their places despite the yell of the
group on the platform. The Missouri
standard also was standing again at its
proper station, but it was in tatters
So great did the crush become about
the assembling point that the police
were called to get the jam seated and
to keep the demonstration from break
ing down the little platform that was
used by the speakers. 1t jutted out
from the front line of the stage and
convention officials seemed to fear that
1t would be stripped away entirely.
The end of the thrty-hve minutes Of
demonstrating saw another attempt to
get the states into position and for a
little while a man with a megaphone
got considerable harmony behind a
repetition of I'VE want McAdoo. we
want McAdoo"
1t was not for long. however. for the
enthusiasts preferred to keep the DEM
onstration in their own hands and to
keep it going in their own diversified
ways.
Forty minutes from the start of the
noise Senator Robinson made his first
attempt for order. 1t was apparent
that the demonstration was dying, but
there still were many who wanted to
keep it alive a little longer and they
paid no attention at all to the gavel
Finally getting order. after the dem
onstration had lasted for forty five
minutes, Senator Robinson ordered
that the roll of states be resumed.

Cummings Nominated as a Leader
Holding Fast to Wilson Ideals

Chairman Cummings. said Mr. Cros-

nation. For more than twenty wears

II proof were needed to demonstrate
how well he is admired and loved and
trusted by his fellow Democrats from
every state that proof is to be found in
his unanimous election to the powerful
and ali-important post of chairman of
the Democratic National Committee.
1.-The transcendent issue of the next
campaign is whether America shall
hold fast to the sublime ideal by
which her leader sanctified mankinds
great sacrifice and reused to new as
piratien the hopes Of a despairing
world. There can be no doubt of
where our duty lies. Woodrow Wilson
is uncomfortable in his hold upon the
truth that America belongs to the
world. Republican leadership has
made its answer. 1t remains now for
US to deliver the answer cf America.
Let us prove to the world that
America has not forgotten Let us
nominate man through whom the
power of our country. shall fulfill at
last lsaiah's ancient prophecy. Nation

neither shall they learn war any

a figure that rises up out of the tumult
of contending desires as the one man

racy can most happily and harmo-
niously unite"

Nem Jersey Nominates Ed,uords
As Champion of Personal Liberty

I'VE are fully cognizant,' said Mr.
O'Brien, that the Eighteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution is the law of
the land, and strict obedience TO the
mandate Of our highest court is the
demand Of the Democratic party; but
the voice of the people has not yet
been heard on this tremendously vital
issue. We feel that the American
people have been defrauded Of q treas
ured right that was always their proud
est possession and we propose TO undo
the wrong by the installation Of a
Congress and a President who will
protect and not destroy popular gov
ernment, as WAS witnessed IN an IN
famous measure passed by Republi-
can Congress. We believe that this
issue mas been only temporarily ad
Indicated and not completely and per
manently decided, and no great ques
tion ever yet was settled until it was
settled right
Zone great com monwealth has pre-
eminently stood out as the defender
Of the rights of the individual. as the
harbinger of peace and prosperity and
as the champion Of personal liberty
time honored, historic New Jersey.
We assume, then, that we have the
right to take a foremost position in
this latest fight for principle. We
assume that no man is better qualified
to lead than the first citizen of New
Jersey.

petual Democracy. Of glorious past

who have played we'll your part in
making this nation the mightiest of

the diapason of triumph. We come
with the message that across the con-

"In Pennsylvania. when a powerful
political organization under the lead
ership of the present high priest of the
Republican party, the invisible power
that dominated the recent convention

leaders of our own party to betray her
interests, it was he that entered into
the conflict and rescued Democracy
from her fathlcss leaders and from
her shame. 1t was he that fcarlessly
exposed the crimson record of Repub
lican corruption and regenerated his
party so that now it may hold high its
head in the pursuit Of those lofty
ideals and pure purposes that are the
pride of the nations democracy.
"ln the halls of Congress of the
nation in 1903 and 1911. when the
regime of autocracy threatened to
crush the genius of democratic govern

with that magnificent array of our
leaders that routed the old order Of
abs solutism. abolished Cannonism and
that the ensuing years showcred upon

talent and industry carved out Tor
himself noble career He earned with
his own hands and brain the money
which paid for collegiate and legal ed
ueation, and after his admission to the
bar in 1881 he applied himself so close
" to his profession that soon he had
large practice. In 1894 he was elected
% the mayoralty Of Quebec. Later he
inferred the Quebec cabinet as minister
Of lands, mines, and fisheries, and for
five years, from 1900 to 1905, he. held

Captain Gibson is a comparatively

To the Voters of
Windham County

The Voters of Vermont will on Tues
day, Sept. Il, choose their candidate for
governor IN an open primary at which
every citizen may and should vote. The
choice is by plurality and every vote
counts. There are four Republican cam
didates in the field and few stay-at-
home voters may change the result of
the primary.
| am a candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor and / respect
fully ask my fellow citizens of Windham
county to cast their ballots for me next
Tuesday | should like to see you per-
sonally and make the request but it is
a physical impossibility to see every
voter.
/ make no claims to superior wisdom,
the other candidates are my personal
friends and all of them are men of high
standing, but l naturally desire to re-
ceive the endorsement of my neighbors
Of my home county Rockingham is the
| second town in size in Windham county
and one of the dozen largest towns. of
the state, but in all the years Of Yer
mont history Rockingham has never
furnished an occupant of the governors
chair, though many times it has Loyalty
supported the candidates of other towns
tions. In my legislative service | have
over and over again proved my loyalty
to Windham county interests
You all know the situation in Vermont
affairs The northern and. central parts
of the state furnish most of the officials
and department heads Naturally it is
less easy for them to keep in touch with
the sections of the state distant from
the capital. In our roads, in our schools,
and in other important matters, it will
be a distinct advantage to have a citi-
zen in the executive chair who is famil-
lar with the needs of those parts of the
state not spread out before the doors of
the statehouse.
If | am elected to the office of COVER
nor I shall give all my time and all my
ability to the conduct of the affairs of

voters Of this county may feel inclined
to give me their support in the primary
