PAWPAW BANQUET
 IF RALSTON WINS
Tom Tasgart Not Bribing, But
 Here's His Proposal

New York. June 2s.-Far be it from Thomas Taggart to bribe any one to favor Senator Ralston for president but, if Ralston is nominat- ed, Taggart promises 10 give the first national paw paw banquet in the his- tory of the world out along the Wabash 10 defeated candidates of both parties. the democratic national committee and the newspapermen covering the convention.
 One reason for the feast will be 10 show his appreciation, but the more important one will be 10 make tho paw paw known nationally. Taggart has been amazed and pained since coming ot New York to find that the paw paw, commonly known as the "Hoosier banana" has not hoon eaten by most folks in these parts. He would correct this by first hand-to- mouth information.
 The paw paw, Tsggart explains grows on trees from eight 10 l5 feet high in the Indiana woods. reaches maturity at the first frost and then drops off. Persons who are lucky enough 10 intercept fl half way to inc ground find themselves in pos session Of 3 soft ripe fruit abeu, the size Of banana. but sharp like a runty and bloated, hot dog. with yellow skin marked by large dark brown frocklcs. The skin is thin and frocllles easily.
 Once the skin is broken. the in- side of inc fruit runs off in many directions, not infrequenily leapinE. like an antelope from crae 10 crag. In ihe hands of an inexperienced operator. parts Of single paw paw have been known to park themselves on ihe enrs. the Adams apple and inc cuff links. However. hardened paw paw shuckers. TarEart explains. usually sink interiors Of the fruit without trace. save tho skin and seeds. The seeds are inc size and shape of lima bean. but black and Of a far more acrobattc nature.
 "lt is probable that Inc feast ain have to be called by telephone, as the ripe paw paw season is short" Tag rart explain, 'to obtain inc fruit in its most luscious state. it must be caught as if falls IT picked. or per- n'itted 10 fall to inc ground, if pines away and dies. Yon may depend. though. if we win. I shall man the paw paw belt with an army of catchers and summon all my friends when fine pau paws fall"
 Tn inc height of the season. Tag rart says, he eats two naN paws every day.

GLASS IS NAMED AS
 SECTIONAL MAN
Virsinian'S Name Placed Before
 Convention Today

New York, June 26.-A call upon the democratic party to discharge "all factional party and personal differ ences and obliterate forever all ques- tions Of sectional differences" was sounded by Senator Claude Swanson before the democratic national con- vention yesterday when he placed the name of his colleague, Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, in nomination for the presidency.
 The democracy of Virginia" Sen atorsSwanson said. moves by these hopeful anticipations and animated by patriotism that is national and not To- cal, has directed me 10 present for the high office of president her most em- inent citizen. whom we hold to be the most available of the candidates and the one who will most efficiently and satisfactorily discharge the vast re- sponsibilty of that exalted office.
 With the lowering of government al standards with many looking 10 the government only as a means of sSf- enrichment. with unbridled corrup- ton in high places We need a man who feels as our fathers felt. that public honor is private honor, and public disgrace private disgrace, that public failure is private failure and that public success is private success.
 We need a man whose conception is like that of Thomas Jefferson that life given absolutely to the service of the country though it may end in financial bankruptcy, is far preferable to a life devoted to the accumulation and employment of wealth.
 We need a man too honest 10 be corrupted, too right and too brave to be coerced by demagogues. who will keep the temple Of our government free alike from the greedy money changers and the plundering rabble. l present to you, as measuring up to all these needs, Carter Glass of the old dominion"
 Senator Swanson reviewed his col leagues long service in the house where he fathered the federal reserve act, his srvice in President Wilson's cabinet and his activities as mem Der Of the senate, He described Mir. Glass as a Liberal and progressive without being a destructive radical" with a sympathy for labor and agri- culture,

The fire commission claims the legislation gives it t~e right to make any such rules
 that the fire board seems willing 10 allow the council to pass any or dinances that please the commission CTS without question of right. but inn mediately raise question when or dinances they dislike are up. He ask ed the commissioners why complete set of ordinances was submitted sev- eral months ago and was told that the board decided upon this action al- though 1t was the consensus Of opin- ion that it was not necessary.
