DEMOCRATS - READY FOR All EXCITING CONTEST III 1912

Race for Presidential Nomination Will Be Most Bitterly Contested of Any in the Past Forty Years. (Continued from Page One.) timber for this position on the ticket re Governors Baldwin, of Connecticut, and Plalsted of Maine, both Easterners. Then there are Governor Marshall, of Indiana; Governor Shafroth, of Colorado; and Francis M. Keney, the graft prosecutor of California, all of them Westerners. This does not contemplate the South's Interest in the next ticket. There is no doubt that the South will demand one of the places in the gift of the next national convention. This section has too long done nothing but produce the votes from the party's candidates. Now it proposes to pro duce at least one of the candidates. As For the South. In view of the eminent availability 'Of Clark, Wilson and Harmon for the first place, it is obvious that the South eould get but the next best place. Ac cordingly Southern politicians have already began to cast about for possi bilities. Virginians have put forward Former Governor Montague and Former Congressman H. St. George Tucker. Marylanders are supporting Govrernor Austin L. Crothers; Georgians, Governor Hoke Smith; Tennesseans, Former Governor and Former Congressman Denton McMillln; and North Carolina, Julian Carr. There are a multitude of old "war horses" in the South who will be put forward as "favorite sons" and who will be backed for the second place, provided of course the South does not win the first place. This makes the contest for the Vice Presidential nomination all the more promising of excitement. Of course, there will be a fight worthy of a fighting party when the time comes to name the bead of the ticket. Everybody knows this and everybody is ven now lining up for their man. Most of this work will, however, be done before the convention. State dele gations will be pledged to Harmon. Wilson or Clark before the climax comes, relieving the situation at the convention. But few delegations will be pledged to Vice Presidential candidates. Only the states putting forward a candidate will Instruct its delegates whom to vote for the second place. It has always been customary for the convention to be foot-loose in regard to the second place In order that It may adJust itself to conditions which cannot be forseen. Ai Local Theaters Murray. A bill of exceptional quality is that offered at the Murray theater for the coming week. The Bimbos, Charles and Paula, are comedy acrobats of unusual ability. Their act Is something out of the ordinary in the line of novelties. Good, clean comedy abounds. The young lady of the act, a dainty petite young lady, does all of the heavy work and It is something very surprising the manner in which she balances her partner. Jack Miller, eccentric comedian, with his singing, dancing and comedy is a real hit. His comedy is all new fend clean cut. Dillae and Geyer in their comedy sketch entitled "The Fairies Picnic" proves to be an immediate success. The act is full of funny situations and is an up to the minute sketch and well acted In every way. Besides being good actors, they are clever singers and dancers as well. Pattone & LaTour conclude the performance with their latest act The Whirlwind of Novelty, this is also a inglng, dancing and talking act that Is sure to please. The Murrayscope with its Irta run film conclude the performance that is ure to make good. "Dainty Mae La Porte Coming. Commencing Monday, July 24th, the "well known Mae Laporte Stock Company will open a week's engagement at the Gennett Theater. Miss Mae La Porte is one of the few big favorites In this city and the fact that she will be seen here again has caused a great deal of comment. Their repertoire of plays for this season are all newhlgh royalty bills Including several plays hlch were seen the past year at Dollar and Half Prices. The La Porte 8tock Company have a reputation over the country as being one of the leading repertoire companies on the road. Their opening play has not as yet been announced. Key t Puxzledom.

A cloudburst on the Kingsbury grade between Gardnerville and Glenbrook on the east shore of Lake Tahoe has destroyed all wire communication. A number of auto parties are on the road, but It is believed all have been accounted for. A band of Indians saw the water rushing down the canyon and hurried to high lands, giving the alarm. THE HURRY HABIT. it Is Charged With Being a Breeder of Bad Manners. "My attention was recently called to an article," observed the retired pro fessor. "in which the writer rebuked us. individually and as a nation, for our lack of manners due to the hurry habit. He classed this habit among the bad. senseless, inexcusable habits, and I fully agree with him. Watch a crowd anywhere, pitching off trains and boats or surging on to them, fighting for first places going up stairs or down, squirming and elbowing to get through a gateway or an open door, and if you were to inquire not one man Jack or woman Marie could tell you why he or she was on the dead jump. "The average male being will consult bis watch, bound across the lawn, run like mad for a car. hire a cab to break the speed law driving to a ferry, dash Into bis office as if be had done 100 ynrd9 in ten seconds, remove bis hat and overcoat, open bis desk, pull out a slide, cock bis feet on it, light a cigar and wonder what he's going to do next. "The average female being will bore through a fringe of shoppers nine deep to forge to a bargain counter, and after she's arrived she'll calmly put down her purse and parasol, finger the goods for fifteen minutes, ask questions concerning the prices past, present and future and move off leisurely without buying so much as a snoot of thread." Providence Journal. The Father of Tobacco Smoking. It is quite hopeless to trace out the fathers of smoking In general and tobacco smoking in particular. Who first drew in smoke of any kind through a pipe in England and who first of our countrymen took to tobacco will always remain disputable. It is equally uncertain which western tribe made the sublime discovery There is even dispute as to whet tier tobacco takes its name from the Island of Tobago, from the Yucatan province of Tobacco, from Tabasco In Florida or from a y -shaped pipe which the people of Hispaniota smoked with their noses. Only one name is definitely associated with the great institution, that of Jean Nlcot, the French ambassador to Portugal, who spread the fame of the herb through Europe. And of all who are familiar with nicotine today how many associate it with Nlcot or have even heard of him! London Chronicle. A Misplaced Title. Among obvious misnomers one London theater is to be found. Drurj Lane theater is not in Drury lane, and no reason can be assigned for giving it the name of that thoroughfare. The first theater built on the present site was at one time frequently referred to as the theater in Covent Garden. On Feb. 6. 1003. Pepys notes: "1 walked up and down and looked upon the outside of the new theater building in Covent Garden, which will be very fine. In those days no theater existed In Covent Garden, the predecessor of the present opera house having been opened In 1732. London Chron-

i'fx A m LIVING ON LOANS IS MILLIONAIRE'S WIFE New York, July 15. Mrs. Emma C. Post, wife of August T. Post, millionaire balloonist and amateur aviator, confesesd in the city court before Justice Schmuck that she is penniless. Having spent many years of her life in the Waldorf-Astoria and other expensive hotels, she is now forced to live in cheap room3 and partake of two twenty-five-cent meals each day. In 1898 she became the wife of Mr. Post, who is several years her junior. They separated about four years ago, and later Post brought action to annul the marriage. Mrs. Post, still a handsome woman, testified today in supplementary proceedings in connection with a bill for $98 that she owes a Fifth-avenue dressmaker. She said she was unable to pay the judgment against her because she has been forced to live on borrowed money for some time. Mrs. Post has three children by a former marriage. Her daughter Sybil is living in Paris. Clarence, her son, is in Texas. He recently sent her $40 Her other daughter, Emma, is living in Ottawa. Mrs. Post's father was General Thacker, who distinguished himself in the Mexican War. After her separation from her first husband she devoted her time to magazine work and established a reputation as a clever writer. THREE YEARS LATE. A Train That Won tho Behind Time Record Medal. A train of a railway system in the southwest once arrived at its destination nearly three yeurs late. The circumstances were these: The train left Bolivar, just across Galveston bay from Galveston, ou Sept. 8, 1900, aud was caught in the great storm that so nearly destroyed the Texan city. Bolivar is seventyfive miles from Beaumont, which was the point of the train's destination. Before the train had traveled far on its journey it was caught in the storm. Thirty miles of the track were washed away, and the tr?.ln was left trandei on a sandy waste. Many persons who lived ou Bolivar peninsula were saved from death by taking refuge in the train. After the storai subsided they walked to Bolivar with the passengers, but the abandoned train was left ou the prairie. The storm bankrupted the railway, and no effort to rescue the engine and cars was made until 1003. Had not the road suffered so seriously in thai storm the property would have proved of great value a few months later, when oil was struck at Beaumont. In 1903. however, the road underwent repairs, when the train was drawn into Beaumont, where it was greeted by a cheering crowd. New York Press. The Diplomatic Room. One of the most interesting and most visited places in Washington is the diplomatic reception room in the department of state, where the secretary of state transacts his business with, the envoys of foreign governments. This room is close to the secretary's office and looks southward to the Potomac, the Washington monument looming up with stately effect at the left Thursday of each week is set apart for the diplomatists, who are received in this famous room by the secretary of state or the official who may be acting in his absence. The room Itself when not occupied by the foreign representatives is open to the public. In it most of our treaties of recent years have been signed, and many have been the notable assemblages gathered within its walls. New York Pre ns.

"Dummy" Taylor, one time star pitcher of the New York national league baseball team and for the two past seasons a member of the Buffalo Eastern League team, has been sold by Manager Stallings to Montreal. Taylor has not been delivering the goods so far this season. . His arm has not been in first class condition. ARAB EiMCAMFMENT3T The Crowded Tents In Which the Shepherd Warriors Live. Arabs are true Ishmaelites. Theii life is a constant wandering. They live entirely on the produce of their herds. Their tents are quickly taken down or put up and easy of transport They are made of camel's hair, loosely woven, supported on poles or long guy ropes. They protect the occupants from the hot sun. but not from the rain, and in winter the encampments are uncomfortable places. The interior is crowded with all the belongings of these shepherd warriors camel saddles and gaudy saddlebags, rifles and ammunition, huntins: dogs and falcons. The women occupy one half; the men use the other, partitioned off by a brightly colored curtain. The whole of the front of the tent being open, there is uo privacy. The average tent measures twenty yards by six. The chief of the tribe, however, owns many tents, and he has for his own Use one giant structure, sometimes spread over a length of. thirtysix yards. In his other tents the chief keeps his numerous wives, who have a certain proportion of their master's (locks and herds to look after. Having a separate tent for each wife, he thus does away with all chance of domestic quarrels. Argonaut. A Feminine Impulse.

1VJ1U-CO WHERE J M ILL NOT BE "TRUTH TELLING" MACHINE INVENTED (National News Association) Los Angeles, July 15. Oscar Schwimmer, a young German consulting engineer, is perfecting what he calls a "truth telling" machine. The contrivance is operated by a storage battery and is intended to register human emotions. Schwimmer claims he will have his machine perfected in a short time so that a novice can operate it. He will then introduce it to the public in general and the police departments in particular. It Wouldn't Sound Wolf.

CLOSE OF SESSION MATTERJ DOUBT Many a Slip Twixt Senate Agreement on Vote and Early Adjournment. Washington, July 15. The special session of congress may be prolonged to the middle of August or even to the 1st of September. Developments today show that the agreement of the senate

yesterday to vote on Canadian reel-1 procity, revision of the wool schedule, the farmers' free list bill, the bill reapportioning the house of representatives and the legislation to enable the territories of Arizona and New Mexico to get into the Union by August 7, does not necessarily open the way for an early adjournment. The Democratic leaders of the house have not yet reached a final decision as to what their attitude toward adjournment will be, but they evidently are inclined to advise the house to re fuse to adjourn until the bill providing for publicity of campaign contributions before elections is passed by the senate and a bill revising the cotton schedule acted on by the senate. Cotton Ready Next Week. The Democratic members of the ways and means committee hope to have the cotton revision bill ready for submission to a Democratic caucus by the end of next week. If the program that has been arranged is carried out this bill will be sent to the senate before that body disposes of the program it has agreed to carry out. The senate situation also presents possibilities that, apaprently, were not reckoned with by those senators w-ho were instrumental in bringing forward the agreement that was adopted yesterday afternoon. The prediction was made today by influential Democratic senators that the wool revision bill passed by the house would be defeated in the senate oh July 27, the day agreed on for a vote. The Democrats expect the insurgent Republican senators and the regular Republican senators to vote this bill down. The tentative program of the Democrats is to support the La Follette bill revising the wool and cotton schedules after the Democratic bill is voted down. If this program should be carried out, legislation revising the textile schedules would be thrown into conference, and, if either house should refuse to adjourn until the conference committee agreed, the session might be prolonged indefinitely. May Help Out La Follette. Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, who has come to be regarded as the leader of the Democrats in the senate, said if he were to make a prediction it would be that the insurgent senators would vote down the Democratic wool bill, and that the Democratic senators would vote up the La Follette bill revising the textile schedules. "Of course, the La Follette bill is not just the sort of bill we Democrats WANTED Party receiving coat by mistake with name Hitz in pocket, return to Tailor, 617 Main, and receive own.

like, but It is a step in the right direction, and by voting it up we can throw the subject into conference and perhaps get some tariff revision legislation at this session." said the senator. v Senator Williams also said it he were a member of the house at this time and could control its action, he would certainly oppose adjournment until the campaign publicity bill had been acted on by the senate and until a cotton revision bill had been passed by tht house and voted on by the senate. Democrats to Caucus. The Democratic senators will, it Is understood, hold a caucus some time

next week to decide whether they shall vote for the La Follette textile revision bill. Some observers are Inclined to believe that if the insurgent Republican senators under the leadership of La Follette become convinced that the Democrats intend to support the LaFollette revision bill they (the insurgent senators) will hesitate about voting against the Democratic wool revision bill. There was also a demand today from numerous senators and representatives that there should be action on the joint resolution providing for the direct election of senators. The conference committee to which this resolution has been referred expects to get down to work the first of the week. From the ways and means committee of the house there came the defi nite statement that the bill revising the cotton schedule would be completed next Tuesday. As a formality it will then be referred to the treasury department for criticism. The program then is to submit it to a caucus of the Democratic members next Saturday night and report it to the house on the following Monday. Tho Savage's Proverb.
