Jackson, Cleveland and Wilson SCI the
convention wild, particularly the lat
ter, which started a demonstration
that lasted several minutes.
Senator Walsh, the permanent chair
man, also did his share In inspiring
the enthusiasm of the crowd. His ac-
tivltles as an investigator Of the oil
scandal gave promise that he would
have something to say along that line,
and he didn't disappOint. His denun-
citation Of those hit by the senatorial
investigation met with approving
cheers. His enunciation of the basic
principles upon which the party should
make Its campaign also were wildly
acclaimed.
START NOMINATING SPEECHES
While the platform was being fought
over by the committee it was decided
to devote the time to getting rid Of
some Of the nominating oratory. For
ney Johnston of Alabama made the
speech nominating Senator Oscar I'm
derwood of Alabama. He read reso-
luton he had presented to the commit
tee on resolutions condemning the Ku
Klux Khan. 1t started something. A
wild uproar ensued, several fights
were started. but quickly stopped.
With nothing else to take up the
attention the delegates de-
voted themselves whole heartedly to
the imam who stuff. Former Senator
Of Colifnrnfo
name Of William G. McAdoo. The
demonstration which followed lasted
for nearly an hour. Counter demon
STATIONS were started by the follow
ers Of Governor Smith. When Chair
man Walsh thought it had gone far
enough he restored order long enough
@ entertain a motion to adjourn and
pronounce it carried.
When the convention met Thursday
morning the speech making was re-
Iumed with frequent repetitions Of the
scenes of the day before. Franklin
}. Roosevelt, former assistant secre-
airy of the navy, was brought to the
Platform in an invalid chair to make
he speech nominating Gov. Al Smith
# New York. Mr.. Roosevelt is par
lyzed In the limbs as a result Of an
tack of infantile paralysis. He
made a remarkable speech and when
10 concluded by pronouncing the

broke loose that lasted
or considerably over an hour.

day, June 80, and continued with day
and night sessions until the agreement
finally was reached. The monotony Of
the roll calls was occasionally relieved
by the excitement aroused by the
meaningless switching OF couple OF
votes or the challenging OF the vote
Of a state.
William Jennings Bryan added a
dramatic touch on Wednesday when,
arising to a question of personal priv
ilege. he asked permission to explain

the deadlock. He suggested tn
names of eight Democrats from amoni
whom the convention might choose
! leader. Last and most emphasized II
the list was the name Of William G
McAdoo, whom Mr.. Bryan special,
lauded, but the mention Of the Cali
fornian's name threw the convention
into a turmoil. Bryan was hisset
and booed and had great difficulty ir
finishing his speech. If, as was init
mated, 1t was an attempt to stamoede
the convention, 1t failed.
TWO BIG QUESTIONS
Not since 1896 when the big fight
on the free coinage Of silver was
waged, has there been such fight over
the platform In any political conven-
ton. The two big questions at issue
were the stand to be taken on the Ku
Klux Khan and the League of Ma
lions. All week the committee la
bored, day and night, in an effort to
come to an agreement that would pre-
vent the bringing up of the disputed
questions on the floor Of the conven-
ton. The earnestness of the members
of the committee in their desire for
harmony was dramatically illustrated
just before the committee took a re-
cess at six o'clock Saturday morning
after an all-night session, when VIII
liam Jennings Bryan offered up a fer
vent prayer for Divine guidance.
The Khan plank was bitterly fought
on the floor. AS 1t was finally adopt
ed, mention of the Klan by name Is
omitted and the plank makes plea
for religious freedom and tolerance.
This was the plank offered by the ma
jority of the committee and 1t won
out by a bare margin of four votes.
The other disputed plank was that
referring to the League of Nations.
Former Secretary OF War Newton d.
Baker offered a minority report fatty
favcring a declaration for the Wilson
league. The plank submitted by the
majority declared for referendum on
the league and was adopted by 2-to-
1 vote over the Baker plank.

nomination.

FRANK HANSEN is
MURDERED In Cabin
near SALESVILLE.
Slayer Discharges Gun Through
Window and Flees-BOdy
Found Thursday
Afternoon

With gaping hole, made by a
charge from a shotgun, in the left
side of the head, the body of FRANK
Hansen, aged about so, was found
at 2:3O O'Clock Thursday afternoon in
his cabin one-half mile north of
Salesville.
A hole through a window indicated
that Hansen had been murdered by
someone who stood outside and fired
at him as he sat at the table. Tracks
in the snow showed the murderer's
position to have been only a few feet
from the glass. A lamp on the table
had burned out, indicating that the
crime was committed after dark on
either Tuesday or Wednesday.
Discovered by Friend
The body of Hansen was discovered
by Charles Perrin, a friend, who went
to the cabin for a visit. Not being
able to gain admittance, he walked
around the structure, and, noticing
the hole in the window, looked in.
J Upon seenig the dead man he became
! frightened and ran to Salesville,
where he reported what he had found.
Sheriff Jim Smith was Immediately
notified by telephone, and few min
utes later Deputy Roscoe Holland and
| Coroner H. F. West started fer the
scene of the crime.
Upon arriving at the cabin they
found the door locked on the inside
and all the windows closed It was
necessary to fCrce the door No sign
of violence was visible within, nor
was there any indication that anyone
except Hansen had been there. The
body was in a chair, and nearly up
right except that it had sagged
against the table when the fatal mes
senger Of death arrived. A hasty
search of Hansen's clothing revealed
only a few pieces Of small change
although he is known to have carried
at times, considerable sums.
Believes Heard Shot
No one knows whether the shooting
occurred Tuesday or Wednesday eve
. ming. A. 2. Stillman, who lives not
far away, asserts he heard what he
believed to be a shct about 1880 Tues
day night, but thought nothing Of il
z and made no investigation. What.

that the Staying was a deliberate one
members of the sheriff's force say
Hansen had resided in the Gallatir
valley for a number Of years. He was
bachelor, and lived alone in his cab

Of Salesville. He did no farming

PUBLIC APPROVES PLAN To GIVE
POSTAL EMPLOYEES FULL HOLIDAY
SUCCESS OF EXPERIMENT DEPENDS UPON WILLINGNESS
OF PUBLIC TO COOPERATE - RESULTS
BEING WATCHED CLOSELY

Widespread approval has greeted
the recent announcement Of the post
master general that there will be no
mail deliveries on Christmas Cay.
Almost without exception tn e
American public has agreed with the
inherent justice Of the ruling which
gives to the army of postal en-
pIOyees some of the holiday privileges
enjoyed by others, but 50 long denied
them.
Of course the ruling applies only
to the coming Christmas, being in the
nature Of an experiment, the success
or failure Of which will determine
the procedure next year.
The postmaster general was en-
abled to take the course he did as a
result of early mailing campaigns
conducted in past years through the
press and the movies" and over the
radio, which had the effect cf NOV
ing the peak Of holiday mailing back
far enough to justify the experiment
Officials of the department who are
watching the experiment closely have
the utmost confidence that it will GO
through without hitch and that Christ
mas day Of the future will be a day
Of rest for the pOstman and the
postal clerk.
To accomplish this purpOse-and il
is believed a laudable one-the Amer.
lean public must mail holiday tokens
and greetings in time for delivery al
least before the close Of business, De
cember q.
If there is any appreciable mai
left over for delivery on December
26, it will initiate against the chance:
of postal workers for a similar hell
day in 1926.

SECRET FRATERNITY
FOR FARMERS ONLY
MAKES APPEARANCE

PLENTYWOOD,-At a confer
ence of eastern Montana farmer
leaders here recently, the ''PrO-
gressive Farmers of Montana" a
new secret organization in which
only farmers are eligible for mem
bership, was formed.
A number Of farmers are said
to have joined at meetings in this
city, Outlook, DOOley and Dagmar.
Other meetings are scheduled for
Quitmyer, Homestead, Reserve,
COmertOWn, Raymond, and points
in Daniels and Roosevelt counties.
The new organization, it is
understood, is an economic one
with a radical program. In opera
tiOn it is similar to a lodge of a
secret fraternity. When a suffi-
cient number of county units is
organized, leaders say, a state con-
vent;On will be called.

ERECTS Big TREE
ON Main STREET
Other Establishments ElabOr-
ately and Appropriately De-
cOrated; Holiday Trade Good

The last touch in making BOzeman's
downtown district take on a pleasing
holiday aspect was furnished last
week by the Montana Power company,
when it erected in front of its fine
office on Main street, a huge Christ
mas tree plentifully besprinl1Ied with
cOlOred electric lights.
The tree is a perfect specimen and
its top towers many feet above the
sidewalk. After the recent fall of
snow it took on an unusually Christ
masy" appearance, and has attracted
the attention Of every resident and
visitor in the city.
Other enterprising Bozeman firms
have also decorated their establish
ments IN elaborate fashion, carrying
out the holiday season idea in Christ
mas trees, streamers, tinsel, colored
lights and the like. In appearance
appropriate to the season, Bozeman
undoubtedly ranks second to no city
in the state.

HIGH PERCENTAGES
OF MOISTURE FOUND
In GALLATIN GRAIN
Tests by w. o. WhitcOmb Of
M. S. c. Laboratory Shows
From 13 to II Per Cent

Moisture tests have been made by
w. o. WhitcOmb of the Montana State
college grain laboratory Of quite a
large number of samples of grain
from the GaIlatin valley. The results
of these tests show the moisture con-
tent Of grain threshed recently to be
from 13 to 21 per cent. It is clearly
evident that grain with this high per-
centage of moisture should be care
fully watched if il is to be retained
in the farmers granary. Several
farmers have taken a lot Of preeau-
tiOn in the way Of ventilatOrs for
their grain bins, which should do
some little good.
However, it is well known fact
that wheat which has been heated
once is Of very little value for flour
and can rarely be used by the miller
Therefore, farmers who have grain
in their bins are urged to watch the
grain carefully for evidence of heat
County Agent Bodley reports That he
has a regular grain probe at his Of
tlce which any farmer may borrow.
BY this method sample Of grain
may be taken from the lower depths
of the bin, and # can readily be de-
termined whether any portion 81 the
grain IS heating. Also, g more re-
