THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS
(From The Montana Record-Herald)
The Democrats, in nominating former Ambassador John W.
Davis of West Virginia for president, selected a man whose ability
has been demonstrated zy his employment as a lawyer by the
famous banking and Wall street firm of J. Pierpont Morgan &
~ ~ ^ K
Uo. Morgan & Co. is one of the most powerful monied concerns
It is the greatest of the dominating forces of Wall
street, and the progressives, liberals and radicals all agree that
Wall street rules the country. Mr. Davis's law firm is on the
Morgan & Co. payroll.
the elimination of McAdoo and Smith from the battle, is indicated
by its unanimous willingness to go out into the unknown hinter- S
The democratic convention no doubt was very tired and
disgusted when it nominated Mr. Davis, and hundreds of the
delegates had gone home. A New York newspaper of July 4 had
'À front page story saying that 500 delegates and alternates had
departed by then, and that some nf them were "perilously near
being broke.'' The convention's indifference to everything, after
lands of the Far West to Montana for a vice presidential nominee.
If they had been using finesse, strategy, policy or tactics of any
kind they would not have done that.
But they were so weary
they would have nominated Walsh had he lived in Papeete or
Timbuctoo. A1 Smith had licked McAdoo, and with them the
only worth while event was over.

Mr. Davis m his initial remarks to the millions of busted
farmers and struggling people of the United States assures them
he is for "liberal principles" and against "special privilege." So
is his employer, the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co, in the left eye
of a cockatoo William Jennings Bryan, the "peerless leader" of
the Democrats, who carried Georgia for the job of delegate with
a whoop, was so convinced of that, and of Mr. Davis' liberalism,
that he nearly had a fit when Davis was first mentioned as a
compromise dark horse.

Bryan told the delegates that Davis' connections in the East
made him desirable there, but that "La Follette will take

That s hard luck.
In this campaign, it is plain that it will be hard to enthuse
the great struggling population of America with the Wall Street
attorney and William J. Brvan's brother. It is apparent that
t diffeience ot the convention that selected them will be
shared by the public, and that their defeat is a foregone conclusion,

day evening and all day Saturday.
The opening argument was made
Friday evening by Attorney C. E.
Carlson, of this city, for the plain
tiffs, the outstanding feature of
which was his scathing and severe
arraignment and denunciation of At
toruey Hubert D. Bath, of counsel
for Ringling. Mr. Carlson was fol
lowed Saturday morning by Attorn
eys Hubert D. Bath of Bozeman, Ex
Judge James F. O'Connor of Living-;his
ston and Daniel M. Kelly cf Butte,"
for the defendant. The afternoon
session was given over to arguments
by Attorney Haight, of Haight, Ad
cock and Harris of Chicago, and At
(tomey Walter S. Hartman of Boze
man, for the plaintiffs.
Defendant Doesn't Appear
The completion of this trial
the winding up of the July jury term
and the dismissal of the jurors. One
of the remarkable features of the
case was the fact that the defendant
tailed to introduce a single witness
or a scintilla of evidence in his own
behalf. Although he was thought to
have been present as an unregistered
guest in one of the Bozeman hotels,
he did not make his
saw
! the
appearance in
courtroom, and neither he, nor
former manager, Lester P. Work,
were called to the stand, in their own
defense.

SETH ORRIN DANNER
TO DIE BY HANGING

confirming the date of execution and
the manner of its carrying out.
A specially constructed rope of
silken texture, and guaranteed to
stand the strain of a drop of over
one thousand pounds a distance of six
feet, has been received by Sheriff
Smith from the manufacturers, and
has been tested with a section of con- !
1 crete culvert weighing several times
that of the condemned man.
death watches are working regularly !
eight-hour shifts in the rear apart
ment of the jail where Danner is !
confined, and they have the condemn
ed man under constant surveillance !
for fear he may injure himself or
otherwise attempt to defeat justice. !
Danner grows more nervous and
unsettled almost hourly as the time :
i for his execution draws near. When !
apparently unwatchod he runs his {
fingers up through his straight black
hair, slaps his chest and knees and
walks nervously up and down and ,
back and forth in his coll in the
manner of a caged wild beast who
resents his incarceration. Speculation
is rife as to his probable condition
after the death warrant is read to
him early Friday morning,
whether or not he will be able to walk
unaided to the death trap after his
arms have been strapped to his sides
by deputies before the fatal walk out
of his cell, through the bull-pen
ridor and into the death chamber. |
That he will make a full and com
plete confession of his crimes is the
! belief of many, while others are reas
onably certain that the Indian blood
in his veins will prevail and he will
go to his death in the same sto c and |
indifferent manner that has marked,
his entire incarceration during the j
past year.
Unless his relatives, of whom he

Portland, Ore., demands the body for
private interment, the burial will be
made in the county plot in the Boze
