E MADE DECISION TO CONTINUE CONTEST The Way to Fight Is to Fight" Shouted Fiery Californian, and Crowd Sent Up a Battle Cry. CROWD WAS SOLID FOR THE COLONEL 'Bosses in Democratic Party as Strong as those Who Control G. O. P., Mr. Garfield Announced. JL. "We consider that a crisis has been reached in the governmental affairs of this nation; that the right of the people to rule has been challenged by the agents of special privileges; that both Chicago and Baltimore have witnessed the influences of entrenched privileges such as threaten the very foundation of this republic and the liberties of the people. Therefore, be it "Resolved, That we regard the suggestion of a third party opportune, and we earnestly pledge our best efforts to furthering its successful consummation." With cheers for a progressive party and for Theodore Roosevelt, the progressive. masB meeting at the Gennett theater last night adopted the above resolution. It was the culmination of the speeches of James R. Garfield and Lee C. Gates, of California, when R. G. Leeds, chairman, asked for instructions for those progressives who will meet at Indianapolis' today to consider the third party movement. It was a progressive meeting throughout, angry at domination at Chicago, devoted to Theodore Roosevelt and pleased with Wilson's success, but not enthused over it. Garfield led off with the statement: "Wilson has been nominated at Baltimore, and the reactionaries of both parties are asking us if that wipes out the influence of bosses and their owners at both conventions? It does not. We are asked if the victory of a progressive at Baltimore does not hinder the chances for progressive action? It does not. No progressive victory hinders progressive principles. The corruption in both old parties still exists. The Democratic party in your own state is just as much dominated by Taggart as ever, it is just as much dominated in New York by Murphy and we are asked if voting for Wilson we will not make them weaker! What the People Want. "What the people want is their own choice of progressives not a choice between a reactionary and a progressive. And this choice they should have, for two million voters have gone to the polls and voted for Theodore Roosevelt a larger majority than any man in either party has received. We are fighting to give these men the chance to vote for the man they want, whoever he may be, and not to have their choice smothered because thieves .have stolen one nomination and turned a president of the United states into a fence for stolen goods. "The action at Chicago is, thereof ore, not binding on any man. Seven-ky-two delegates were allowed to sit in that convention and vote on their own cases. Those men were put there by the national committee. Then those same seventy-two men retained control of the convention, forming another national committee of the same character the same bosses so that they tan do the same thing four years hence. This is what Theodore Roosevelt calls the vicious circle. And yet We are asked to accept this as a part Df the party government and to keep on fighting to reform that party. "Nearly five hundred delegates refused to be a party to the theft refused to recognize a convention organized In that way and so you and I need not recognize that convention as binding. Situation In Indiana. "In each state there will have to be a different method employed to make a way possible to disregard that contention. In your state the law does ;not allow names to go on the ballot without a party emblem. In my state there is no party emblem, and the names of Roosevelt electors can be put on the ticket, and we shall consider the delegates elected by more than two million men in those states (Continued en Page Eight) THE WEATHER J8TATE Local showers tonight or Thursday.

WATTERSON TAKES HIS JDEFEAT HARD Famous Editor Attacks Bryan and Calls Wilson "The Devil."

(National News Association) LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 3 Henry Watterson in the Courier-Journal today compares Wood row Wilson to the devil and William Jenning Bryan to a rattlesnake, but he says he will support the ticket. In his editorial on the result he says: It would be idle for the CourierJournal to deny that it is disappointed by the results obtained at Baltimore and hypocrisy to affect anything other than regret and distrust. "In a contrast between three tickets headed respectively by Taft, Roosevelt and the Devil, the Courier-Journal, being a daily newspaper and unable to take to the woods, would per force be obliged to support His Satanic Majesty. However, let all Democrats pray for the best and hope that things may not be as bad as they seeam to those who would have shaped them otherwise. The Courier-Journal approves at least the platform and will support the ticket. Writing of Bryan, under the head "Treachery Unspeakable," he says: 'The mask, which in his unguarded fury Mr. Bryan has allowed to slip away from the sleek and sunny visage that has so long deceived superficial observers into the belief that though selfish and commonplace, he was still a sincere and amiable man, shows the world at least the very embodiment of prosperous hypocrisy and successful malice. "The literature of every nation has its type of the unprinciples charlatan. He is depicted in various degrees and kinds of turpitudes, but always as shallow and heartless. Of Tartuffe, were read with dismay; of Pecksniff and Chadband with disgust. How shall we classify, and what shall be the measure of detestation in which not only all good Democrats but al. good,jnen must hereafter and forever hold the sardonic figure at Baltimore in his rage and spleen, throwing off all disguise of prudence and showing himself in his "true character of ingrate, low in the wake of his tortuous courset traitor and Pharisee; the baffled demagogue spitting on hand that had befriended him; the beaten montebank, balked of his prey; the rattlesnake revealed, exuding poison that disease and death may follow in the wake of his tortuous course . "It is most painful to write and to print this indictment of a man the Courier-Journal has tried to believe an honest, though a misguided, man. The seven days performance at Baltimore with its horrible spectacle of rule or ruin, duplicating the equally horrible spectacle of Roosevelt at Chicago, leaves no recourse. WORK CONCLUDEO BY REVIEW BOARD Report of Assessor on Mortgage Exemptions Is Approved. The Wayne County Board of Review concluded its work for this year yesterday when it approved the report made by County Assessor Will Mathews on mortgage exemptions in this county. In his report Assessor Mathews stated that all the exemptions had been passed on and were in regular form, as required by law. The board has been in session since the first of June.

ROGER SULLIVAN, ILLINOIS. PRESS OF GOTHAM PRAISES E Even the Hearst Sheet Says It Will Support Wilson in the Campaign. (National News Association) NEW YORK, July 3 The consensus of opinion in New York newspapers today favored the nomination of Woodrow Wilson for the presidency. The following are excerpts from editorial comment on the outcome of the Baltimore convention: TIMES "In the nomination of Woodrow Wilson the Democratic party regains its ancient estate of -worth, of dignity, of power. It escapes the thraldom of little men and ignoble leaders. It takes as its chief a man of that statesmanlike quality which befits the the presidential office. The nomination of Governor Wilson will unite the party." WORLD "The American people have set out to regain possession of their government, and Woodrow Wilson was nominated for president because he enJbodies that issue. The bosses, the plutocrats, who tried to prevent his nomination were beaten by the power of the people and the power that nominated him is the power that will elect him." SUN "Governor Wilson enters the campaign owing not one copper's worth of political debt to Mr. Bryan, who, with a preconceived program of domination or destruction, played his own viperish game with consummate skill until it was detected. Not a drop of toxin remains in the hidden fangs of the gum. Mr. Bryan has been beaten, exposed, humiliated and discarded. He has not even a wax figure Warwick this morning. WhaLnuat occasion him the most poignant anguish is the certainty that the Democrats over the land will no longer pay dollars for the Commoner or the Chautauqua for instructions in the fundamentals of party principles." : HERALD "The New Jersey governor has won and won handsomely. When it is analyzed, it is a personal triumph. He was nominated in spite of Mr. Bryan's tactics and as the direct result of the action of the Illinois delegation which started the stampede, resulting in a practically unanimous choice on the forty-sixth ballot." TRIBUNE "Gov. Wilson's nomination at Baltimore yesterday, was on the surface at least, a decisive victory for the radical element in the Democratic party. It was even a greater triumph for Mr. Bryan than it was for Mr. Wilson. The latter's selection as the presidential candidate of the Democratic party was due more to the former's personal activities than to any other single influence, but for Mr; Bryan did in the convention, it is extremely doubtful if Mr. Wilson would ever have obtained a. two-thirds majority." AMERICAN "Got. Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey,' is .the nominee of the national Democratic convention for president of the United States. The New York American will support the Democratic nominee. The New York American, as a progressive democratic newspaper, would have supported any progressive Democrat nominated at Baltimore." ANNOUNCEMENT! TOMORROW BEING THE 4TH 3F. JULY, THERE WILL. BE NO PUBLICATION OFJTHE PALLADIUM. BULLETINS OP THE JOHNSON-FLYNN PRIZE FIGHT WILL BE POSTED AT THE PALLADIUM BOARD, EIGHTH AND MAIN STREETS.

Assistant Secretary of Treasury, an Indiana Man, Charges Sec'y MacVeagh as Being Incapable.

RESIGNATION WAS SENSATION TODAY Andrews Charges in It the Secretary Treated His Sub ordinates Harshly andj Most Unfairly. (National News Association) WASHINGTON. July 3 The resignation of A. Hiatt Andrews of Indiana as assistant secretary of the treasury was handed to President Taft today. Harsh and unmerited criticism from Secretary MacVeagh and from outside sources and an entire lack of co-op eration are given by Secretary Andrews as reasons for his resignation. He says that some of the actions of MacVeagh would seem inexplicable to a man of normal mind. Mr. Andrew's letter of resignation charged that subordinates of the treasury department have been hampered and discouraged at every turn by Sec retary MacVeigh's idiosyncrasies and his incapacity for decision. It contained a scathing arraignment of Mac Veagh's administration of the government's financial affairs and created a great sensation in official circles. What Andrews Says. Part of Andrew's letter to the president follows: "In presenting my resignation from the office which you have favored me with I deem it proper to acquaint you with conditions existing in the treasury department for the last two years, and which are of grave concern, not only to every official of the treasury but also to the thousands throughout the country who have business to conduct with this department. "For a long time the transaction of much of the treasury's business has been at a standstill and an outbreak of some sort has been imminent. Many able and " energetic treasury" officials have had to bear the brunt of the harsh criticism from people outside who have suffered interminable delays in their business with the treasury for which the secretary alone was responsible, and at the same time they have had to submit to criticism even harsh and undeserved from Mr. MacVeagh himself whenever he discovered that they had ventured to act upon some matter of minor importance' without awaiting his decision." President Taft accepted Mr. Andrew's resignation within an hour af ter the letter was received at the white house. The resignation was accepted, "In view of Mr. Andrew's failure to obey orders given him by the secretary of the treasury," according to an announcement from the white house. USUAL "PROGRAM" FOR m FOURTH Pent Up Enthusiasm and Noise to Burst Forth at 6:00 O'clock.

The police has set this time as the beginning of the celebrations "and 12 o'clock midnight tomorrow, as the time for stopping rfce noise. Thus far but few intermittent poppings fcve given cause to fear for the safety of the small boy. Tomorrow the business houses of the city will be closed, the city officials and employes given a rest, with the exception of the police and firemen who will be on duty primed for lnstanfaction. Roy Wenger, patrol and ambulance driver has secured an extra supply of antiseptics, cotton and bandages for "first aid" to unfortunate celebrators. The new fire truck will be here this afternoon or tomorrow and will be in use for probable emergency calls. The police have issued their warnings, the council has set legal limits within which the celebrations must be confined and the promoters of the "Safe and Sane" movement have done their best to create a harmless Fourth.

HON. THOMAS R. MEAT INSPECTION RECEIVES A BLOW Drl Waggoner Ordered .to Return Supplies to Washington. Government meat inspection at the Holzapfel slaughtering plant is believed to have received its death blow. Dr. Waggoner, veterinary inspector in charge of the Stolle plant, and who was recently withdrawn from the Holxapfel plant, received notice to return all supplies used at the Holzapfel plant( to Washington. Laymen Inspector Putman was given notice to go to Cincinnati where he will be given employment as an inspector. These orders are taken as an indication that the department of agriculture does not intend to take favorable action on Henry Holzapfel's . application for government Inspection. Holzapfel, Monday, sent a new application to the department of agriculture, under the head of a plant desiring inspection because of interstate business done. If the department of agriculture entertains any intentions of continuing government ins pection at the city plant, it is not thought probable that Waggoner would have received notice to send all supplies and equipment used at the city slaughtering house, back to headquarters at Washington. Those conversant with government action in this matter state this step indicated the department of agriculture does not intend to reestablish Inspection here. This will leave Dr. Waggoner In charge of the Stolle plant. Dr. George Ferling and Clarence Ferling his son, are in charge of the city plant, but the city is forced to pay the salary of Ferling. Holzapfel is anxious for government inspection but so far has received no reply to his application. It is said that the government will not reinstate government employes at the city plant . Council has appointed a special committee to investigate the withdrawal of the meat inspectors at the Holzapfel or city plant. The committee is waiting for information from Washington before reporting. Councilmen have stated that if government inspection is not obtained for the city plant, a change in the present ordinance would be made, and it is probable that further action of this kind may be taken at the next meeting of council. - ASKS BIGJAMAGES Longfellow Wants $20,000 for Injuries.

illOIAtlA GOVERNOR FOR RUNNING MATE Marshall Was Chosen by Aci clamation on , the Third Ballot at a Late Session Tuesday Night. DEMOCRATIC. PRESS WILL BACK TICKET. Bryan at the Closing Session Delivers "Peace and Good Will" Address The Delegates Are Pleased. (National News Association) BALTIMORE. July, 3 With Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, and Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana, both governors, and reputed Presbyterians, and both often times laughed at as Occidents" in politics, nominated to. carry the Democratic party to victory or defeat next fall, the new national Democratic committee met today to assume its new duties and appoint a time and place for ' gathering to consider the plans for the campaign. All $JAparting delegates, today pronounced the ticket satisfactory, although some of them regret that Governor Burke of North Dakota, who is a Catholic, had not been put on the ticket to offset any possible prejudice that supporters of that faith might entertain towards Mr. Wilson. Telegraphic reports from all over the country show that all impojtajit Democratic newspapers have indicated editorially, that- they would support the ticket, regardless of any former preference for candidates. Among these are Included W. R. Hearst's newspapers. - - 1 - Democrat Confldsnt. The Democratic hosts declared to- -day "'that' the -ticket, will , sweep , the. country next fall. It was a noteworthy circumstance that litUe or no bitterness marked the final victory of Gov. Wilson. The general opinion prevailed that the wings of the party were unit ed, and the east and west are satisfied with the outcome. When the convention adjourned at 1:56 o'clock this morning, the delegates felt that they had nominated the strongest man possible under the . circumstances. 1 During the closing hours of the convention W. J. Bryan made his last appearance on the platform before the delegates, which , in some respects, was the most spectacular Incident of the convention. - Mr. Bryan said: "Mr. Chairman and members of the convention. .You have been generous with me in the allowance of . time. 'I had hot expected to trans-: gress upon your patience again, but the compliment that has been paid ma by the members of the District of Columbia, I hope a word In the form of valedictory will be permitted." Mr. Bryan's reference was to the delegate who had been voting for Champ Clark, baf . who on the last ballot, placed the name of Bryan in nomination. ' The Commoner ' continued: "Tor sixteen years I have been a fighting man. - Per- -forming what I regarded as a public duty: I have not hesitated to speak upon every public question that was. brought before the people of this na-. tlon for settlement, and I ' have not i hesitated to raise hostility and the enmity of Individuals when I thought lt my duty to do so in behalf of my! country. ! "I have never supported a man ex-' cept with gladness, and I have never 1 exposed a man except In sadness. "If I have any enemies in this eoun-; try, those who are my enemies have a; monopoly of the hatred. There is not! a single human being against whom I i feel hatred." Marshall is Wiener. . Nominations for the vice-presidency t were begun and the platform planks; were read last night. This required! three hours. Shortly before midnight! Senator Kern moved the adoption of the platform. 'There was no minority report, and the motion carried unanimously. Then the balloting for vicepresident began. There were two ballots and the same rivalry that manifested itself during the long deadlock over the presidential 'nomination wasdisplayed. The first ballot ended with -Marshall in the lead over Governor' Burke of North Dakota, his nearest competitor. A motion was made that tion. but the motion was withdrawn! after Mr. Bryan had served notice that he would fight it.
