LARGE PECAN CROP
GOES TO MARKET

TOWNSVILLE, Ga, Nov. 2S.-
Wagons loaded with bag after bag of
pecans are seen going through the
streets to be shipped to market.
At the beginning Of the season
there were complaints from some of
the growers that the first Of the nuts
that dropped had not filled out as well
as usual, and this condition was as
cribed to the unusually dry, hot wealth
er OF the summer.
Those that have ripened later, how
ever. seem to be well-filled, the rains
probably having a favorable effect
upon them. The crop is a very large
one and is being rapidly gathered.

PREPARES STATEMENT.

This statement was prepared before

ready for US, and, as a further pre-
caution, asked Chairman James 10

during roll call.
When / conferred with the dele
gates ] found a number OF them in
rebellion against Clark. They were
afraid 10 risk voting for him any
longer. ] still pleaded with them,
but when the roll was called half, or
a little more, voted for Wilson. But
I still cast my ballot for Clark.
Senator Hitchcock, who advocated
instructions for Harmon in the
Nebraska primary, came TO me and
said be would have 70 demand a poll

Clark if the delegation was not polled,
but expecting at any time that / might
be compelled 10 change my vote, l
was not willing TO announce a vote
for him that | might have TO take

/ decided. therefore, TO make the
change at that time il the poll was
taken. Senator Hitchcock insisted
upon the poll, and when my name
was called. i went 10 the platform
and read the explanation of the change
which had prepared in advance say
ing that / stood ready TO withdraw
the vote from Governor Wilson If Mr..
Murphy cast New York's 30 votes
for him.
As might have been expected, this
change caused q commotion in the
convention. The Clark delegates,
with four ex-goyernors among them.

WILSON GAINS STRENGTH.

When Saturday night came the is
sue was still undecided. Wilson had
gained enough to make Clark's cleo
ton improbable, and Clark still held
enough to make the selection Of VII
son uncertain.
From the time the convention met
there were many delegates who favored
my nomination, some under instruc-
tons for Clark, and some instructed
for Wilson. l had aided in the cleo
tion Of many Of these delegates. The
anti-HarmoD delegates from Ohio were
under special obligation for the trip /

friend in the convention when others
were restrained from voting for me
out of regard for my wishes.
BRYAN is URGED.
When the convention seemed to be
settling down into a deadlock, there
were many who urged my nomination
as a solution of the situation. But l
felt that it was not proper for me to
consider the question as long as there
was any chance for any of the can
didates who had been encouraged to en-.
ter by my announcement that l wou,d
not be a candidate, and felt, too, that
the action had been compelled to take
out of a sense of duty to the party
had alienated those whose support was
necessary to a nomination.
/ told all who inquired that nothing
but a situation that made the whole
convention regard my nomination as
necessary justified ny considering the
nomination, and that there never was
a time when circumstances presented
such a situation or promised it.
While hostilities were suspended dur
ing the Sabbath, the messages con-
tinued to pour in from over the coun-
try, and these at length crushed the
opposition TO Wilson and compelled
his nomination.
OPPOSES MARSHALL.
When the convention entered upon
the nomination of candidates for vice
president, a delegate from the District
of Columbia presented by name for
vice president. / had not been con-
suited about the matter, and am not
sure that it was presented in good
faith. j did not wait to inquire or to
ascertain the sentiment Of the dele
gates. I declined to be considered,
embodying my reasons in brief
speech.
When the names were being present
ed, made speeches seconding the NOM
nation of two western men, Burke
of North Dakota and Senator George
Z. Chamberlain of Oregon. / had no
personal objection 10 Governor Mar
shall, but his support of Judge Parker
for temporary chairman, his opposition
to the initiative and referendum, and
his attitue toward prohibition, as
shown in the campaign of 1908, seem
ed to me to raise issues that might
endanger us in the campaign.
While his views on the initiative
and referendum and prohibition were
not altered, these questions did not
come before him during his term as
vice president. and have admired the
manner in which lie presented the
Democratic side Of most Of the big
questions Mt issue. He made a very
popular vice president.

NY reason for absentlnl
myself from the convention
was that l did not want f
risk attracting attention
having in mind the oft-re'
peated charge of unfriendly papers
| that ! wanted TO stampede the con-
| vention in my own favor. My IN.
tention was to keep out OF the hall
until the nomination was made, and
then appear at time when ! could
make a speech in support of the cam
didate, whoever he might be.
On Friday night i was in the room
of the resolutions committee when a
great demonstration broke out in the
convention hall. After waiting awhile
for il to subside, j went TO the hall
TO inquire the cause.
CONVENTION IN UPROAR
/ found the convention in an up
roar-the New York delegation had
gone over TO Clark on the fifth bal
lot. New York had started out vot-
Ing for Harmon, thus verifying my
predictions in regard TO Wall Streets
choice. 1 knew that New YORK
second choice was Underwood, put tne
throwing of the vote to Clark was
by many believed to be evidence of an
understanding between the Clark
leaders ard the New York delegation.
I never heard anything other than
cireumstantial evidence TO support this
charge, and never made it myself.
am quite sure that Mr.. Clarks
leaders had calculated on using the
New York delegation TO give him
majority vote in the convention, and
that they then expected. 10 claim his
nomination on the ground that he had
majority. One of his leaders had

polls. / believed then, and have be-
| lieved ever since. that if the nominal
ton Of our candidate was brought
about in such a way that the country
would regard it as O triumph for Wall
Street. he would be defeated, no mat
ter who he was.
Ex-President Roosevelt, defeated at
Chicago, had not yet decided wheth-
er he would enter the field. ! felt
sure that he would become a candi-
date and make his appeal TO the pro-
gressives of both parties and l felt
sure that in such campaign he would
have been successful.
/ think the result proved this to
be true. Mr.. Roosevelt took from the
Republican party more than half its
vote. Mr.. Taft carried but two states
in the electoral college. Utah and Yer
mont. As the Democratic party was
more progressive than the Republi-
can party, what chances would be have
had TO win with any candidate not free
from Wall Street domination? he
might actually have been overwhelmed
If he had had 10 carry in the cam
paign the handicap having secured
his nomination by I'll aid of the New
York delegation, dominated by one
man. Charles Murphy. who had back
of him the influence Of the financiers
Of Wall Street.
NO PERSONAL INTEREST.
My interest YVES not in any candi-
date. but in the party. / was under
no personal obligation to either of the
80 H.
himself in my behalf in the primary
at which I was chosen delegate. Mr.,
Wilson had never supported me in my
campaigns, and Mr.. Clark's support,
while always given to me, was given
as thousands of Democrats gave their
support.
Having been a candidate for Con-
gess in each of my three campaigns,
he could not have opposed me without
injury TO himself, even if he had de
sired to do so. While, Of course, his
support was not perrunctory, because
he believed in the things for which /
stood, still it was never given to me
at a sacrifice. and / had done fully
as much for him as he ever had done
for me. But / digress.
SIIChS III C1Ahh.
The vote of our delegation was cast
solidly for Clark for IL ballots. A
number Of our delegates wanted TO
leave him as soon as New York went
TO his support, but insisted that we
should continue TO support him, as l
expected that New York would throw
its vote to Underwood, and thus leave
Clark TO secure his nomination, if he
secured it, from the progressive dele
gates Of the convention, felt sure
from what l had heard that New York
really preferred Underwood, and would
leave Clark at any time its influence
could aid Underwood.
After the thirteenth ballot, the con-
vention adjourned until Saturday
morning. Realizing that to keep the
promise ] had made to the Nebraska
Democracy when a candidate for dele
gate, namely, that I would not be a

ry out this promise it might become
necessary TO change from Clark at any

sary.

CLIPPING FROM THE PITTS.

There have been some surprising
Developments in the Prescott pearl
robbery. As was exclusively stated
n the Sun, Police Commissioned

as 10 their disappearance. He put
two of his best detectives quietly to
work and they succeeded in tracking
their man to his lodgings, which
we're at rather ob5c1re but very
respectable hotel in the west end Of
the city. The man, however who
vas staying there under the name
u Dowuey, had become suspicious
and had left this morning.
The detectives made a very thoro
search of the premises and succeeded
in unearthing a. piece OF evidence
which practically convlcts the man
Downey and proves that the COM
mlssioner's theory is correct.
In some way a letter had fallen
behind a bureau and lodged in a
crack in the Dashboard, where II was
out Of sight except TO someone who
wss looking about the place most
carefully.
The letter was addressed TO Joseph
Downey and it was signed Mabel"

mailed ct the main postoffce at
o'clock on last Tuesday. the 9th.
