CONVENTION wTIL END EARLY FRIDAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) •Woodrow Wilson as the greatest Amer ican of present day history. It was the secondary key-note speech of en thusiasm. The appeal of James was not to "swap horses while crossing a bloody stream" and a plea for the recognition of the president as a "master diplomat” and "unconquerable leader." "The democratic party is proud of the achievements of Woodrow Wilson, he said. He has brought prosperity and plenty to one hundred million Americans. He has given work to every willing hand in the republic. Every toiler has a full dinner pail—full to overflowing.” Shortly before James took the platform it became known definitely that the convention would be speeded up. The conevntion will probably end not later than Friday evening. M'CORMICK WINS. Washington. D.

A STORE THAT IS BETTER THAN ITS ADVERTISING Many of y»u men who don’t come to our Store read our advertising and you may say, as some men do who don’t know us, “It’s good stuff all right, but I don I believe such a store exists.” We know how it is; you think our advertising, is something apart from our business; mere talk to get you to come to us in order that we may sell you something as talk you think it’s great. If you didn t feel this way, and read our advertisements as you are this one, you’d be a customer of ours because we are pretty sure you like the principles we have laid down; every man likes to do business with a concern that puts his interests first. We say a good deal about Hart, Schaffner and Marx and Clothcraft clothes because we know we are doing the best possible tiling tor our customers when we influence them to wear these goods. The benefit to us isn tso much the profit we make as it is the profit you make in buying them. HOLTHOUSE, SCHULTE & CO. Good Clothes Sellers for Men and Boy’s.
