SECOND DAYS WORK

New York, June 25.-Am1d dis
order almost without parallel in par
ty history the democratic convention
Wednesday began it's grapple with
the two great issues before 1.-THE
nomination of a presidential candi-
date and determination Of the party S
attitude toward the Ku Klux Klan.
Scarcely had the nominating
speeches for president begun when
the vast hall was thrown into chaos
bv the prolonged demonstration pro-
voked by a reference to the positive
stand against the Klan by Underwood
Of Alabama.
Mention Of the name of the order
fell into the convention like fire
brand. One after another state stan
dards were lifted up and carried in
a parade around the hall, together
with American flags snatched from
the wall decorations, while the roof
of the historic old Garden ratified
with roar of cheering and the sing
ing of "America," and "The Star
Spangled Banner"
Fights Break Out
In two or three of the states,
where sentiment is divided on the
Klan. there were fist fights as dele
gates who wanted to take the state
standards into the parade were oppos-
ed bv others who fought to keep them
ont. A number of the delegations sat
silent, apparently amused in their dis
approval of the whole Anti-Klan dem
onstration.
The Anti-Klan demonstration was
followed by another when William e.
McAdoo was placed in nomination.
Hinder the direction of a cheer leader
and to the accompaniment of lively
band music his supporters staged
colorful parade that kept the conven-
ton floor in a prolonged uproar.
After Senator Underwood, Senator
Robinson of Arkansas and Mr. NC
Adoo had been placed formally be-
fore the convention, the party leaders
agreed to adjourn until Thursday.
Come Out Late
Nobody seemed to be in hurry IN
getting down for Wednesdays ses-
sion. Ten minutes before the days
session was scheduled to begin most
of the boxes for which contributors
to the convention fund had paid high
prices were empty and there were
whole solid banks of empty seats In
the other reserved section. Delegates
and alternates trickled in prepared for
a hot day Some came with coats
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-06-26

and collars off and others came at
tired in Palm Beach suits. Some of
the delegates from the tropical pos
sessions brought a refreshing touch
in their pure white ducks
Among the early arrivals was per-
manent Chairman Walsh, who came
in formal dress, looking very hot and
uncomfortable but nevertheless very
formal. The photographers pounced
upon him and put him through a
score of poses. The band leader, evi-
IDENTIFY recalling Theodore Roosevelt's s
admonition that a convention needs
first to be entranced, got into his lit
tie loft and crashed out some heavy
overtures interspersed with some pop
ular novelties. Meanwhile the dele
gates, alternates and visitors were
moving in and every one brought a
palm leaf fan. Collectively, they
probably stirred up enough breeze
to start square rigger, but individ-
ually not one of them succeed in
stirring up enough air to dry his
brow.
Temporary Chairman Harrison was
among the next arrivals on the plat
form. The keynoter had shed the
long tailed coat of Tuesday and
looked more comfortable in the busi-
ness suit he wears in the senate
chamber. Mr.. Harrison did not seem
unhappy with the prospect of turning
the gavel over to Senator Walsh.

DAWN-DUSK FLIGHT
SUCCESS AT LAST
ARMY FLIER FROM NEW YORK
TO FRISCO IN LESS THAN
p HOURS

San Francisco, June 24.-Lieut.
Russell L. Vaughan, army flier, Mon
day successfully completed his day
lght-to-dusk flight from New York
to San Francisco when he landed at
Crissy Field at 9 :48 p. m. He arri-
we'd in San Francisco at 9:44 p. m.
As soon as the plane landed, news
paper men broke through police lines
holding back a huge crowd lining the
field and greeted the flier. A few
seconds later the mammoth throng of
spectators, cheering and shouting,
while automobile sirens shrieked in
bedlam of noise, surged over the
landing field, and surrounded the
plane.
Lands Without Mishap
Maughan landed on brilliant path
way, huge flares making the field
almost as light as day. The landings
was made without mishap.
The plane in which Maughan left
New York at 2:5915 a. m. eastern
time) Monday on his third attempt
to span the continent, was first
sighted when he circled the field twice
in the deepening dusk.
Maughan dropped down on the
field at the northeast corner, and tax
led to the center of the field. There
he became the center Of a surgjug,
shouting, wildly-excited mass of spec
tators.
The way was cleared, however, for
news photographers to take pictures
of the plane and the daring flier.
Maughan's landing at 9 :48 p. m.
made his time for the 2,850-mile air
line dash from New York including
five refueling stops en- route, 21 hours
481a minutes, slightly under his orig
inal estimate of the time the flight
would consume.
Overcome With Emotion
Apparently almost overcome with
emotion and jubilant at the victory
which he had achieved, Lieutenant
Maughan seemed unable to speak
when his plane came to a stop. His
face bore a serious and drawn ex-
preston.
He was lifted bodily from the cock
pit by his cheering comrades of the
air service and carried on their
shoulders through the swirling crowd
to rear door of the army head
quarters.
Lieutenant Maughan's landing time
was given officially at 9:47:15
o'clock, making his total elapsed time
for the trip, Fl hours, AT minutes
and As seconds.

GROWS
in BIG STAMPEDE

With the approach of the dates OF
the fourth annual Wolf Point Stam-
pede, it becomes certain that the
zig annual wild west event will pre-
sent the most entertaining and thrill
ing programs it has yet offered. The
management finds interest from
every source strong and there will
be no lack of talent or material for
show we'll worth the time Of all
who care for rodeo features and the
feats that recall the days of the big
range.

number of visitors and local people

buying and their other business IN the
mornings so as to ease up the last
minute rush in the afternoon, when

auspices the Stampede is put on, Is

VICTOR IN
CAME LAST SUNDAY
FIRST DRY SUNDAY CELEBRA-
TED ON LOCAL BALL GROUND
SCORE 20 TO Z

After several disappointing post
ponements, caused by Prof. Petite the
rainmaker Of Plentywood the local
American Legion team finally sue
ceeded in pulling off home game
on schedule. 1t would have been
luckier for the locals if the weather
man had stuck to his tactics for one
more Sunday, for decisive defeat was
the portion of the home team, and
to rub it it, it was at the hands OF
their "hated rival" Poplar.
The team and the crowd took it as
a huge Joke. Wolf Point has beaten
Poplar so many times and in so
many different ways that they felt
chat one little ball game couldn't
do any harm. Without the slightest
nsinuation in the direction of Mr.
Volstead, it should always be remenl-
bered that ''the worm" is bound to
turn sooner or later. This time it
turned and kept turning until the
score book showed 20 to at the close
of the ninth.
Poplar has a good team and played
a steady game, but were ably assis-
ted by some of the locals who had a
distinctly off day, induced, no doubt
by lack of opportunity to practice.
The visitors started in earnest in
the first frame and with the assis-
tance of errors and unfortunate
breaks took a lead of four. Nothing
happened in the second. In the
third and fourth the locals discover
ed the route around the bases and
tailed three times, but in their part
of the fourth the temporary county
seaters fell on Smith like hungry
hobo on a long lost brother, with the
result that he loaned them five. With
the score nine to three, the rooters'
club, that has pulled many badly
singed game out of the fire, got busy
out on the third base line, but with
only temporary effect. The politi-
clans weren't through with Smith and
in the sixth raped him for a row of
six more markers. From then on in
terest was not overly strong in the
game and quite a few remembered
supper must be about ready. There
was lots of roofing and good natured
display of baseball wit. Everybody
got more than their moneys worth
and our visitors went home tickled
pink.
Tripp and Funk were compelled to
leave for work after the 7th.
This is the way they lined up for

the bud and the would be thief was
put to flight just as he had succeed
ed in breaking the fastenings of the
window and had it raised for en-
trance. At this point Messrs. Geo.
Durant and P. o. Swain appeared
upon the scene and his "nibs" sud
denly became convinced that that
was an unhealthy location for him.
At first the two gentlemen thought
they had freed their game and Mr..
Swain stood guard with a club while
MIR. Durant went for the deputy
sheriff Rankin. The sheriff in turn
went for Mr.. Drumming and then a
search was made which ended prov
ing that the fastenings of the window
had been broken, but that the thief
had not yet entered the building,
or if he had, he had not taken any
thing. This is the second attempt
to rob Mr.. BIS shop, and the Re-
publican believes it would be safe
in making the assertion that the
next fellow, or the next time the fell
low tries ON this little game he will
be met with a warm reception.

NEWS OF
THIRTY -FOUR YEARS AGO-l890
Taken from The Republican of that date
Compare the RaeOLns Storied in these old
items a0iM or city and county of today

When Buffaloes were plentiful
and almost %blackened the western
plains with their density, it probably
never occurred to those engaged in
their slaughter hat in a few years
time their scarcity would alarm the
country government especially and
cause vigorous and prompt action to
be taken lest the noble old animal
be entirely wiped from the face of
the earth. Such however, seems to
be the fact, and the few buffaloes re-
naming are Regarded as the most
valuable of the bovine species. Only
a few years G the buffalo could be
found in countless h o s a n d S
throughout the western Texas and
the northern territories. Now the
number has been reduced compar-
atively speaking, to a "corporal's
guard" The following list gives
the location of the different herds
and the numbers they contain, fit for
