BUSINESS MEN TO
HELP THE FARMERS

At meeting of the Philip Conn
mercial Club held Tuesday evening
several matters pertaining to the
general welfare of the town and
community were taken up and dis
cussed. Among other things that
of the shipping facilities was per-
hap the most important. Just now
most of the people of the county
are interested in shipping either
live stock or grain. and the car
shortage is likely to be serious, ac-
cording to the best advises. 1t
was pointed out by one member
that there are only enough eleva-
tors and mills in the state to store
twenty per cent of the grain rais-
ed in the state, and the granaries
will hold not to exceed ten per-
cent. This means that seventy per
cent of the small grain in South
Dakota will have to be taken care
by the railroads.
What is true of the small grain
crop is also true of the live stock
industry. Every man who contem-
plates shipping should be sure te
arrange for cars far enough in ad
vance to insure getting them. Te
this end it was urged that the bu.
siness men cooperate with the far
mer and stockmen in securing
cars. In other places where the
matter was handled by the com
mercial clubs the shortage that
proved SO costly to many iiaakor
county stockmen last year
did not effect them to any great
extent.
1t has been suggested that those
who contemplate shipping mike
their wants known, either to ths
secretary Of the CommercialT Clur
their banker, or some business mar
who will take the proper steps I'll
bring the matter to the attention
of the proper authorities. If the
farmer and stockman will bear this
in mind, we believe it will prove
to be of benefit to him and al
others concerned.
Secretary Millstead who attend
ed state meeting Of the GUNNER
cial club secretaries few weels K,
ago, made his report to the meet
ing. Several things of Importance
were noted by Mr.. Millstead bro
to the attention of the local orgaa
ization. Mr. Millsteads report wa
very interesting and showed tha
he had attended the melting witt
the intention of absorbing sor'
ideas.

San Francisco, July 6.-James NJ
was nominated for the presidency early
this morning by the democratic ma.
tional convention in the break up o:
one of the most prolonged deadlocks
in the history of national political
parties.
1t took A ballots TO make a choice
and It was not until the 3S when at
torney General Palmer withdrew from
the race taht the long succession OF
roll calls showed any definite trend.
Cox Gets and Holds Advantage
In the turnover of the Palmer dele
gates Cox gained the advantage over
William G.. McAdoo, his rival for first
place since early in the balloting, and
that advantage never was lost
With its choice made, the conven-
ton adjourned until noon today, Pa
cific time, to name candidate for
the vice presidency.
Roosevelt o Favorite
Should it be decided to give Sec
ond place on the ticket to the east,
Franklin d. Roosevelt of New York,
assistant secretary of the navy, SEEM
ed to be a favorite, but il the nomi-
nation goes to the west, there are
several possibilities talked about by
the leaders.
Supporters of Governor Cox won a
way to the nomination by persistent
battering at the Palmer and McAdoc
forces in many states throughout a
long series of shifting and rallies
which left now and then another OF
the candidates in the lead.
Cox Dropped to Third Place
On the opening ballot, Friday tho
Ohio governor was in third place.
He soon passed Palmer, however, and
on the 12th ballot went ahead or
McAdoo. Then began see-sawing
between the Cox and McAdoo totals.
which at the end of the 34th roll
call at midnight found the two viz
tually the same.
A Procession to Cox
On the 42nd ballot the accession
Of most of the Palmer strength TO
Cox put him well ahead and after
that, great and little state delegations
went into the Cox column in a pro.
cession. On the 43rd he got ma
jority for the first time of all the
votes cast and on the 44th he
was plunging toward the required two
thirds, when Colorado changed its
votes to him and made the nomination
obvious. II was made unanimous on
motion of Sam b. Anderson of Kan.
