THE La|poLLETTE CANDIDACY United States Senator Robert M LaFol ietti, of Wisconsin, leader ol the uSSepindem element in the Sen ate ahff feting in concert with that grotin the House has been nom inated SSflthe' presidency by the con ference for progressive political ac tion, held a» Clev-'and Ohio, a lew days ago. The LaPollette following is frequently referred to as the rad ical element, but it should be added that he is emphasizing the interests of agricutu're and of labor by and through an effort to create a parly or group in Congress which will exer sufficient influence to constitute a balance of power a3 between the two old parties. Mr. Lnfro'lette himself was originally and is now nominally a Republican, but in recent years the Wrd independent has been prefixed to indicate his type of Republicanism, as distinguished from the old guard or the reactionary and stand-paf ele ment of the East. In nominating Mr. LaFollette the Cleveland gathering did not under take to place hint in leading strings or to handicap him in his movement to increase the political and legisla tive power of the element of wh'eh he is now the recognized leader. In stead he is given free rein, having been nominated on his own platform. In a word the Cleveland conference and those they are assumed to rep- 1 resent ere followers who acknowl-! edge the Wisconsn senator as their j 'eader. Besides, they were afraid *0 try to put any limitations on hts candidacy. His recent repudiation of the communist element had fore warned the Clevealnd conferees that they must bow to tbe LaFollette will and judgment if they hoped to ha/e him lead them. \ As a? presidential candidate he wi 1 probably not have an organization nor an electoral ticket in the field in every State, but will probably make a fight for the electors of ha‘f a dozen or more States including Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dakotas and a few others, possibly Iowa. It is possible that he will carry several States, but hardly sufficient to prevent either the Democratic or Republican nominee escuring an electoral majority. It n idle and useless, however, to shut our eyes to the fact that Senator La Follette it steadily accumulating a following who share his views at to legUation and who profess to tt actuated by interest in the agricul tural clast.—Danville Register.

CHARLES W. BRYAN GETS THREE-FOURTHS OF FIRST BALLOT North Carolina Gives its Solid Vote to the Nebraska Governor * (By Associated Press) * Madison Square Garden, New York, July 10.—The Democratic national convention brought its tempestuous sessions to a close early this morning, placing before the country a ticket neaded by John W. Davis of We3t Virginia, with Governcr Chailes W. Bryan, of Nebraska, in recond place. Nominated, on the 103rd ballot in the final disolution of the deadlock which had gripped the convention for 10 days, Mr. Davis begun his service as the leader of his party by upsetting precedent and addressing the convention at its evening' session and then going nto conferece with convention managers over choice i.f a nominee for the vice-presidency. Governor Bryan was chosen for second place on the ticket after bis friends had placed before Mr. Davis and his conferees an argument, for selection of a western man of proven executive capacity, familiar with agriculture and in sympathy with the liberal sentiment of the country. The nomination of the Nebraska governor, who is a brother of Wil liam Jennings Bryan, took only one ballot. The word that the leaders wanted him nominated was passed quickly about the convention hall and although active campagns had been made for several 'other candidates the result w»s not long in doubt. "Mr. Dv> w • -passed the—»nww>y. cwo-thirds majority when Josephus Daniels changed the North Carolina vote to give it solidly t0 the Ne braskan. The North Carolina dele gation previously had voted 4 for Mrs. Leroy Springs, of South Caro lina; Bryan 12 and Owsley 8. The result of the ballot follows: Owsley 16; Berry 209 1-2; Silzer 10; Mrs. Springs 18; Davis 4; Bryan 739; Hylan 6; Flynn 16; Gerard 10; Farrell 1; B. Clark 42; Ritchie 1; Morton Clark 1; Enright 5; Baker 7; Whitlock 1; Mrs. Miller 3; Mrs. Ren shaw 3; Gardner 1; Upshaw 1; Pitt man 6; Meredith 2. Total 1,097 1-2. Mr. Bryan was declared nominated at 2:22 a. m. eastern daylight saving time. Then after a few last minute formalities the convention adjourned sine die at 2:24 a. m. and the dele gates for the last time filed wearily out of the old garden where thfeir i.erves had been frazzled and their patience worn out by more than two weeks of the most stirring scenes .n all political history.

W. G. Stocken, for many years a missionary to the tribe in the Canadian prairies, com pletes the work at his home in Vic toria, B. C. Canon Stocken is printing the Blackfoot Scripture on a small press built for the purpose. He originated the language characters, which are syllabic and resemb’e shorthand. He startW with 72 characters, but has reduced them to 40. They are so easy to master tliat some members of the tribe learned to write in a few evenings.
