JLittle Rock.—The Democratic State
Convention at its closing session
elected eight delegates at large to the
National convention, giving each dele
gate one-half vote each. This was
done only after a fight, and the vote
In favor of sending eight instead of
four delegates was close. An effort
to table the motion providing for
eight delegates was defeated by a
vote of 264 to 306.
The action of the majority in dou
bling the number of delegates was the
result, It was generally conceded, of a
desire on the part of the leaders to
Xtrevent an attempt to break the slate
"which had been prepared. The feel
ing which was caused by SenatorJas.
J’. Clarke's attack upon William Jen
nings Bryan was seen in the conven
tion, and the contest which it was
predicted would develop in connec
tion wittf the selection of the ‘‘Big
Four" materialized when an effort
was made to elect Senators Clarke
nnd Davis, Congressman Robinson and
John H. Hinemon, the four men pick
ed by the Robinson forces. The con
test was precipitated wnen Attorney
General Hal L. Norwood was nominat
ed Then the proposal to elect eight
(Instead of four delegates at large was
made, and with its adoption the thrgat
^ened fight was averted.
Following the adoption of the mo
tion for the election of eight delegates,
Stephen Brundidge of Searcy, Jerry
<’• South of Mountain Home, Champ
Clark’s Arkansas n nag< r, and Judge
B. B. Hudgins of Harrison were nom
inated, and they, together with Mr.
Norwood and the four men first men
tioned, were elected by acclamation.
The name of X. O. Pindall of Kittle
Rock was also presented, but he fell a
•victim to the steam roller when the
rules were suspended and the eight
other men nominated were elected by
acclamation.
With the election of eight delegates,
Jio alternates at large were elected.
Resolution Upholds Bryan.
Another result of Senator Clarke’s
criticism of Mr. Bryan was the intro
duction of a resolution, signed by four
delegates, declaring that the conven
tion “disclaims any part in the at
tack on Mr. iir\an, and repudiates
the same as uncalled for.” The n so
lution proceeded further to express
faith and confidence In the purity,
sincerity and statesmanship of Mr.
Bryan.
The resolution was read, and Chair
man Martin ordered it referred to the
committee on resolutions. It died with
the commCtee, together with several
other resolutions which were offer
od. A resolution declaring in favor
of woman suffrage died a similar
death.
Officials Chosen. ,
Will Steel of Texarkana and .7. D. !
Arbuckle of Booneville wore olpcted
electors at large by the convention.
Judge William M. Kavanaugh of Lit
tle Rock was elected member of the
Democratic National Committee from
Arkansas, without opposition, as had .
been expected.
The State Centra! Committee was i
reorganized with Judge A. .7. Walls J
of Lonoke and William G. Hutton of j
Little Rock as chairman and secretary j
respectively. Both Judge Walls and
Mr. Hutton were elected by acclama- i
tion.
“Grandfather Clause" UnendDrsed,
The convention refused to accept a >
plank in the platform, endorsing the (
proposed constitutional amendment
No. 11, known as the “grandfather I
clause.” The plank was incorporated
in the platform by the platform com
mittee, but was stricken out by the
adoption of a minority report submit
ted by Carroll Armstrong of Morril
ton and J. D. Head of Texarkana. The
chief argument made against the j
plank was that the convention should
not take any stand upon the matter, j
especially in view of the fact that this j
is a presidential year, and the further j
fact that the measure is to be submit- |
ted to a vote of the people in Septem- j
her. The strongest opposition to the |
i endorsement of the amendment came j
I from the counties where the negro
population is heaviest.
The convention voted to change the,
date of the state primary in 1914 from
the last Wednesday in March to
the last Wednesday in July, but this
vote was reconsidered, and the date I
was left as it lias been for a number
of years—the last Wednesday in
.'.larch.
The platform, with the exception
of the plank dealing with tlie "grand
father clause,” was adopted as submit
ted by the committee. It follows close
ly the lines of Congressman liobin
son’s speech delivered before the con
vention Wednesday. It declares in
favor of a corrupt practices act, limit
ing the amount of campaign expenses,
and providing for lull publicity, for
legislation that will place the state
on a rash basis, for shorter legisla
tive sessions, for reforms in the man
agement of the i'niversity of Arkan
sas, for the election of a board of peni
tentiary commissioners by the gener
al assembly, for government control
of the Mississippi river levees, and
for the preservation of the old si a e
house.
i There was no reference in the plat
form to the liquor question, and no at
tempt was made in ilie convention to
secure the adoption of any plank on
this subject.
Little Rock. The Democratic state

The entire ticket with the e*».:ep
tlon of Joe T. Robinson for governor
was nominated in the adoption of one
resolution introduced by John H. Hine
mon. ]Mr. Robinson was seperately
named, his name having been for
mally presented by Attorney General
Hal L. Norwood, who spoke as fol
lows:
Air Chairman nml Fellow Democrats:
It is my pleasure to place before this
'■'invention for ratification Democracy's
hoic- for coventor. I am glad ttint
.liit iiy the time my hat was in the ring
with his neither of ns said anything
to best-my the most pleasant personal
friendship that has existed between us
for years.
Our party is making no experiment In
this information. The gentleman has a
ion-1 and spiendid record of public ser
' 11 is wealth oi experience has
t':'i lit him to fully appreciate the ba
th > and responsibilities of every de
partment of tlie State government and
tb‘'!r proper relation to each other. He
wi ! bring to the governor's oifiee that
nb lit and devotion to duty that has
crow ed all his efforts wit a success. 11
has spent itis whole life among the pen
ile whom he will serve as chief execu
tive He Is honored and trusted bv
them and bis reputation as a statesman
is co-oxtcnsive with the republic. In
the state legislature, upon the political
hustings, in the ration's congress, lik ■
an intellectual athlete, he has stood in
the arena of debate and challenged all
corners, and up to the' present moment
is n total stranger to defeat.
Most of his official service has been
where a record was kept of all he said
and dill. During the last months of the
leoer.t campaign the opposition turned
upon him the fiereest searchlight that1
ever illuminated a man s public and pri
vate life and discovered to their dismay
that Joe Robinson never deserted a
cause or a l'rkvnd. They discovered that
upon ail important questions his posi
tion has been positive and fearless; that
he has helped to create public senti
ment instead of waiting to ride the
tidal waves; that he has never been tin
actor in hypocrisy's masquerade.
This Is no time or place for any criti
cism Of the vanquished liv tile victors
We are Democrats and will bury all the
unpleasantness engendered by the em
bittered strife. but Mr. Robinson's
friends have a right to refer with par
donable pride to his Achievements cul
minating in his nomination to the high
est oifiee in the state by the greatest
political party on earth.
He reels no endorsement except that
received when more than hO.oOO Demo
crats cost their ballots for him.
Itt giving honor to whom honor is due
we do not forget his full fie iged part
ner in all that he ha*-- accomplished—the
one who stflod by him when he had no
assets except am btion, born of honest
purposes, inspired by a woman's love
and aide! by her devotion. Every de
tail of life from a poor country boy
nobly battling with the problems of life
to the i resent time has been a part of
her existence, and who could help re
joicing with her when she modestly re
ceived the tidings of his late glorious
victory. Gentlemen of the convention,
with Joe Robinson as our standard -
bearer the triumph of the Democratic
p; rty is assured, in the sunlight of our
state's destiny "he will go where Demo
cratic principles lead the wav' to win
the people's victories. With him as our
governor there will be an orderly, in
telligent and constitutional administra
tion of the state's affairs.
The nomination of Mr, Robinson was
seconded in an able speech by Repre
sentative C, P. Newton of Ixmoke
county and Dr. C. H. Brough of Wash
ington county.
A committee consisting of Hal L.
Norwood, J. B. Eagle, Gustave Jones,
C. H. Brough, \V. A. Coker and Carroll
Armstrong was appointed to notify
Mr. Robinson of his nomination and
escort him to the hall.
Mr. Robinson was received with
deafening che rs and made an elo
quent speech acknowledging the ova
tion and accepting the nomination.
Instructions for Clark.
The nomination of the state ticket
and instruction of the delegates to the
national convention to vote for Champ
Clark for president were the chief
features of the first day's session.
Mr. Robinson had closed his speech
of acceptance with an eloquent trib
ute to Speaker Clark and before 'lie
applause which followed had died
away, \V. G. Hutton of Pulaski coun
ty secured recognition and offered
the resolution instructing the dele
gates lor Clark, moving its adontion.
This was seconded by Harry C. Hale
and a number of other delegates. No
opposition developed, and the resolu
tion was adopted while the Clark en
thusiasm was still at its height.
Bennett Clark, son of Speaker Clark,
who was in the convention, was called
for by many of i he delegates, and he
| thanked the convention on behalf of
| his father for its action.
Senator Clarke Causes Uproar,
i The convention was thrown into an
■ uproar during the afternoon session of
the first day. when Senator .Tan • s 1’.
('hirke, in the course of a spec h. at
i tucked William Jennings Itryan S.-na
! tor Clarke s voice ivh.i drowned by , —jes
I of "Bryan” from t.ie delegates, nv:g|ed
i with a few hisses. The senate- ,.on.
tinned t-» speak, but the pandemonium
was so great that he could not lie -card
I more than a few feet rrotn the platf u rn
, Senator Clarke ignored the storm wni-*.,
! he had aroused, and continued t-. tala

statement at the conclusion of his speech
that lie ••ouhl not understand 11,. rea
son for the interruptions.
The storm broke wrien. after S itor
Clarke had spoken of various - imli
, dates for the presidency, someone in
i tlie- crowd asked: "What ubonty 1: in?"
"Yes, what about Bryan ” .Senator
.Clarke repeated "Bryan has -ted
i very badly. He has been running bout
ithe country attacking good Democrats
because they did not vote for him in
; ! S!*6. How long, w ill you 1c i me. must

i Bryan would do more service for the
party if he would show that ho is as
poo., a Democrat a* he thinks others
should be.”
Cries of "Bryan" omt trom every
part of the house, and Senator v-.arke's
voire was drowned In the din. Hr. con
tinued to speak, but could not lie heard.
Cries of "Sit down'" came from sev
eral delegates, together with hisses. At
the same time some of the delegates
: were cheering the speaker. Tills contin
ued for several minutes, while -ne sen
ator kept on speaking, without being
heard by more than a few' of tne dele
gates. Partial quiet was finally re
tored, and Senator Clarke closed ills
speech with a prediction of Democratic
victory at the pons In November. lie
was loudly cheered when he concluded.
Robinson Forces in Control.
The Robinson torces were shown to he
in complete control, as ... . been ex
pected. and there was no opposition to
any part of the program that had been
prepared.
Senator Davis Speaks Briefly.
Following the nomination of the
state ticket there were cries for Davis,
and the junior senator responded in a
brief speech. He stated that he had
been so situated, from various causes,
that he had been unable to give his
entire time to the duties of his office,
but that the interests of the people
had never suffered from bis absence
and lie had never cast a vote in the
interest of the Republicans. He stat
ed that he had thought that with the
end of his present term in the senate
his political life should end, but that
conditions had changed his intentions.
"I want to say now to my political op
ponents in Arkansas,’ he declared,
“that I am going to be in politics until
I die. I love a fight. This conven
tion is a tame affair compared to those
that Jeff Davis run.’’
When Senator Davis concluded there
were cries for Brtmdlfige, but they
were interrupted by the arrival of
Mr. Robinson, who was introduced to
the convention by Attorney -General
Norwood.
Organization of Convention.
The convention was called to order !
by Chairman It. F. Milwee of the State !
Central Committee, and the roll was i

tle, who was selected as temporary j
secretary.
Mr. Carrigan 'made a brief speech
on taking the chair, but announced
that, contrary to the usual role, he
would not mal* the • keynote" speech,
leaving this to Mr. Robinson, the nomi
nee for governor. Mr. Carrigan de
clared that the affairs of the state
are now in the most serious condi- j
tion since the days of reconstruction, j
and that the man who will be elected
as governor in September will assume i
ihe greatest responsibilities that have j
been placed upon any goi ernor since1
the first Democratic governor follow
ing the Civil war. lie stated that he
hoped the incoming governor would
lie given the power to free the state
from the bligh' that has settled upon

Martin Prophesies Victory.
Mr. Martin, in taking the gavel, stat
ed that he believed t his was to be a
harmonious convention, in sharp con
trast with that held by the ftepubii
cans a few weeks ago. He declared i
that it did not require a prophetic
vision to tel! that this is to be a
Democratic year.
“This convention will select dele
gates to the Baltimore convention,
where a champion will be selected to
lead the hosts „ of Democracy to a
foreordained victory," be said. “One
of the most pleasing features of this
national convention will be the im
possibility of making a mistake."
lie mentioned the various candi-!
dates for the presidential nomina
tion. and concluded by springing a
boom for Senator f'larke of Arkansas.
He declared that Senator Clarke had
become on© of the greatest powers in
the T'nited States Senate, and was
recognized as the most able member
of the senate on either the Democratic
or Republican side, ile declared that
if it seemed appropriate that a fa
vorite son snouiH receive the support
of tiie state convention, no man could
be more deserving of the honor than
Senator Clarke.
Mr. Martin recited the things that
have been accomplished by the Demo
cratic house of representatives, and
declared that on this record the Demo
crats w ill go before the people in Xo- !
vember and gain a triumphant vie
torv.

BIG FORTUNE WELL HANDLED
Million* Left by the Late Ru*sell Sage
Are Being Expended for the Wef
fare of Humanity.
While the late Russell Sage wag fn
the flesh he was one of the most pru
dent, shrewd and persistent money
grubbers in Gotham. The astute min
cier never plunged nor risked any
money in wild-cat schemes, l e
a ‘'sure-shot1' operator in Wall street,
and when he died he left in the an 9
of his lone widow a fortune of some
thing like $75,000,WO. Since becom
ing possessed of this enormous or
tune she lias worked as persistently
and assiduously in scattering the
money as her husband did in gather
ing it. The scriptures tell us that
the miser Is the man that "heaps up
riches and cannot tell who shall gath
er them.’ Russell Sage knew better,
and the rood lady upon whose shoul
ders T'/ex Imposed the burden of this
enormous sum of money has worked
hard In lightening the burden. Her
philfinthrophies have been productive
of as much wisdom as marked her hus
band’s operations in the market. She
is reported to be failing in health, and
her task is only begun. Should she
lie taken from the world thousands
will regret her departure, and it is
very earnestly to he hoped that fur*
tiler care of the property will fall into
good hands.

Vogue in Outer Garments.
According to the Dry Uoods Econo
mist, at the present time retailers are
featuring wraps of charmeuse and
satin. The best sellers are the me
dium-priced numbers retailing from
$10 to $30. These are usually attrac
tively lined in some bright color, giv
ing a pleasing contrast. Lace collars
and cuffs are often used as a finishing
touch and are very effective, while
w'hite lace is used largely for this pur
pose. Some garments are shown
trimmed with black lace, which is cut
away to show the lining underneath.
The Only Way.
An elder while baptizing converts at
a revival meeting advanced with a
wiry, sharp-eyed old chap into the
water. He asked the usual question,
whether there was any reason why
the ordinance of baptism should not
be administered. After a pause a tall,
powerful-looking man who was looking
quietly on remarked:
“Elder, I don't want to interfere in
yer business, but 1 want to say that
this is an old sinner you have got hold

mend Grape-Nuts, and Postum in place
of coffee, when giving my patients in
structions as to diet, for I know both
Grape-Nuts and Postum can be digest

build up gray matter and keep the
brain in good working order.
“In addition to its wonderful effects
as a brain and nerve food Grape-Nuts
