For President:
JAMES M. cox, of Ohio.
For Vice President:
r. D. ROOSEVELT, Of New York.

Convention Hall, San Francisco,
July 6.-After eight days Of the most
strenuous political battling any party
has seen In many years, the Demo
cratic gathering at 2:45 Tuesday
morning Of the second week named
James NJ. Cox of Ohio for president,
and on Tuesday afternoon named
Franklin D. Roosevelt for vice presi-
dent.
The nomination of Governor Cox
was made on the forty-fourth ballot,
and after a night of the most intense
excitement.
Beginning Of Break.
When the convention convened on
Monday morning, after frutless pc
riod of baIIoting on Friday night and
late into the night of Saturday, it
seemed to be in deadlock, out of
which no one of the three leading can
didates could possibly be picked as
winner. This condition continued
throughout the day, and until after a
recess taken at 5 80 until $3.50.
No evidence of any serious break
could be found in the lines Of any of
the three leading candidates until af-
ter the thirty eighth ballot. when Con-
gressman Carin announced the with
drawal Of Attorney General Palmer
and the release Of his instructed dele
gates. On the next ballots the Penn
sylvania delegation continued to vote
almost solidly for Palmer. but after
that they broke, the majority going to
McAdoo forces began to break, and be-
fore the forty-fourth ballot was COM
pleted it was evident that Governor
Cox had won, and a motion to make
the nomination unanimous was carried
with shout.
Real Democratic Convention.
1t was a real convention, and more
especially real Democratic conven-
ton, that adjourned on Tuesday after
noon. 1t was q convention that was
run by the 1908 delegates and an
equal number of alternates. 1t was
leaderless, and, in fact, If it may be
said to have had fault at all it was
this lack of leadership that for many
weary hours made 1t seem impossible
for the necessary two-thirds to reach
an agreement on the choice of can
didate. During these hours and days
there were q number of men who were
quite willing to assume leadership, but
no one Of them, or no group Of them,
could find a sufficient number of fol-
lowers to make their leadership effec-
tive. The delegates insisted that they,
and not any self-appointed group Of
leaders, represented the rank and file
Of the Democratic party, and each del
egate insisted on voting the way he
believed. or professed to believe. his
people at home wished him to vote,
regardless Of any plea for a compro-
mise.
Opening Was Featureless.
The opening Of the great gathering
was as featureless, as all such open
ings are. There was an air Of ex-
pectancy IN the great audience, for the
majority Of whom this was, their first
experience in a political convention
Of such magnitude The audience had
looked for q fight starting with the fall

''Be glad When you have said all
there is to say about life's sorrow,
disappointment and pain, about the
selfshness and wrong that sweep over
the earth like shadows. about the
shortness of its days and the certainty
of its nights, it still remains blessedly
true that the universe is thrilling with
the song of gladness," says helpful
writer.
'Be glad for the beauty Of the
springtime, the blue of the skies, the
music Of the birds and the glory Of
the sunsets. Listen to the laughter
of the little children, answer to the
handclasp Of friendship, grow warm
in the lovelight of countless happy

sists of tube, usually Of cane, about
six feet long, rubbed smooth on the in

purpose and carefully Strengthened
with the aid Of fire. Slender pointed
darts about eight inches long are used
as ammunition, each one wrapped
neatly along a third Of it's length with
thistledown or cotton to make it fit
the inside of the tube. The hunter
places a dart in the tube, which he
raises to his lips and with which he
takes careful aim at his game; then
with a quick puff of breath he drives
the little dart flying with sufficient
force to impale and kill small bird
or squirrel.

One Taken Off West Coast of Scotland
Realized Five Thousand Dollars
for Its Captors.

A graphic account of the hunting
and killing fof a sperm whale is told
BY one who took part in it, Starting
from the west coast of Scotland the
whaler made for Rockall. a lonely
granite pinnacle that ilts out of the
atlantic about two hundred miles west
o. the Outer Hebrides. Why the
whales go there is a mystery, but in
early summer schools Of them may be
found in the neighborhood. The look
out soon spies blow" that is the
fountain elected by the whale as Il
comes to the surface to breathe. Away
goes the whaler in pursuit After
some tense maneuvering the whaler
gets into suitable position, the skipper
takes aim, fires his harpoon gun and
a harpoOn is embedded in the mon
ster's body. The whale disappears
taking yards of hemp line With him.
Presently he rises to blow again, and
Immediately second harpoon is fired
at him and he goes down with yards
of cable rafting overheard. About
fifty minutes later he floats on the
surface of the water, quite dead.
Immediately the sailors fall upon
him. Air is pumped into the carcass
to make it buoyant, his fiukes are
trimmed off, so that he will float In
tow, and the whaler makes for Scot
land again, with a host of screaming
birds in her rear This particular
whale realized five thousand dollars.
It was fpll-grown sperm, about sixty
feet long.

Formal opening of the Republican
presidential campaign came with the
notification Of Senator Harding that
he was the party's standard bearer
and the delivery of his speech of ac-
ceptance. This took place in his home
town, Marion, where most of the big
party leaders and many thousands of
others had assembled. Here are some
of the salient points in the senator's
speech:
II believe in party government as
distinguished from personal govern
ment, individual, dictatorial, autocrat-
ic or what not"
sour vision includes more than a
chief executive. We believe in cab
met of highest capacity, equal to the
responsibilities which our system con-
templates, in whose councils the vice

gress can pass it's declaration for a

government Is greatly yexed with the
Poles. Premier Lloyd George on We'd
nesday gave voice TO this feeling in
a statement to the house of commons.
He said, IF ever a nation in history
has gone war mad, that nation is Po-
land and characterized it's course as
reckless and foolish. This, however,
he asserted, does not justify the crush
ing of the new nation, adding: ''The
whole fabric of European peace de-
ponds on an Independent Poland.
There is no time for the machinery of
the League of Nations to interfere.
If the bolsheviks overrun Poland and
reach the German frontier, they de-
prive the allies of the entire fruits
