Many names suggest themselves lor this sale. We prefer to
annual Clearance Sale, as hundreds know Irom past experience what that sale means here,
since that first Clearance Sale in January", 1900, the most important by far of any conducted by
this store. That statement is
since this store started in September, 1898, been so great a
Clearance Sale.
Never have we had on hand,
merchandise. We believe in stating facts in a plain straighttorward manner. No false sense of
store keeping pride will prevent a frank confession of the fact that we're overstocked. Early
confidence in the outlook for Spring, 1908, prompted us to buy in the most liberal manner.

Nominated For Second Place.
Platform as Presented by Senator
Hopkins Had Been Previously
Adopted, While a Minority Report
Reflecting the Views of Senator La
Follette Had Been Voted Down.
Taft on the first ballot by 702 votes;
Taft by unanimous choice of the con
vention. Such Is the record ot the culminat
ing day of the Republican national
tonvention of 1908, effected mid
scenes of tumultuous enthusiasm, and
after a nerve-racking continuous ses
rion lasting nearly eight hours.
The favorite sons of other states had
been named, save Knox and La Fol
lette, and now on the roll call came
Ohio. As the Buckeye state was
reached, the tall, gaunt form of Theo
dore E. Burton, with student-like face
and severe clerical garb, advanced to
the platform to nominate Ohio's can
didate. He spoke fervently with the
droning voice of an evangelist which
went ringing through the great build
ing. The close of his speech for nom
ination was the signal for a loos
ening of the long pentup feeling. In
stantly the Ohio delegates were on
their feet, other Taft states following,
while the convention hosts, In gallery
and on floor, broke Into mad demon
stration. California Seconds Taft't Nomination.
A brief lull gave the opportunity
for the speech seconding Taft's nom
ination, by George H. Knight of Cal
ifornia, whose big, round face beamed
forth on the sympathetic multitude,
whose splendid baritone voice welled
forth like the tones of a great church
organ. California's tribute to Taft
was brief and fervid. Now there waa
another lull in the Taft movement,
while the remaining candidates were
placed In nomination.
A hush of expectancy hung over the
assembly as the call proceeded. Hasty
summar'es showed that Taft was far

In the lead. When New York was
reached the Taft column was 427.
Ohio carried the Taft total to 511, or
20 more than enough to nominate.
Still the call went on until the final
result was announced by Chairman
Lodge:
For Theodore Roosevelt, 3 votes;
for Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio, 16
votes; for Charles W. Fairbanks of
Indiana, 40 votes; for Joseph C. Can
non of Illinois, 58 votes; for Robert La
Follette of Wisconsin, 25 votes; for
Charles E. Hughes of New York, 67
votes; for Philander C. Knox of Penn
sylvania, 68 votes, and for William H.
Tnft of Ohio, 702 votes.
Earlier in the day the battle over
the platform had occupied the close
attention of delegates and spectators.
The platform as framed by the com
mittee' on resolutions was read by Its
chairman, Senator Hopkins of Illinois,
while a minority report, reflecting the
views of the supporters of Senator La
Follette, was presented by Congress
man Cooper of Wisconsin. It was on
one hand the sledge hammer blows of
the Wisconsin men against combina
tions and monopoly, and on the other
hand the warning of Hopkins against
the "socialistic doctrines of Wiscon
sin." The platform was adopted by
an overwhelming vote, after many
separate planks In the Wisconsin plan
had been burled under adverse votes.
Distinctly a Sherman Crowd.
Another Inspiring picture was pre
sented as the convention named its
candidate for vice president.
From the outset It was distinctly a
Sherman crowd, wlnh the galleries al
ready trained with chorus of Sher
man songs and an invading host of
Sherman marchers bearing a huge
portrait of the New York candidate,
starting the echoes ringing.
Among the early arrivals on the
floor was Speaker Cannon, lately a
candidate for president, but now here
as a pillar of strength In the Sherman
movement.
Lodge Nominates Guild.
From the outbursts of enthusiasm
which greeted every mention of Sher
man's name it was plain that 'the mind
ot the convention had been made up
and that the decision was only to be
recorded. But for a moment there

Spanish Swindle Exposed.
After most brilliant addresses at
Philadelphia by Attorney General
Bonaparte on behalf of the govern
ment and John G. Johnson of Phila
delphia, representing tho seven rail
roads named as defendants In tho suit
instituted to restrain them from trans
porting anthracite coal from mines In
Pennsylvania In which they have an
Interest, both sides rested and the
case was submitted to Judges Dallas,
Gray and Buflington ot the United
States circuit court. Both sides will
file briefs.
Mr. Johnson in his address assailed
the constitutionality of the commodi
ties clause of the Hepburn act under
which the proceedings were Instituted
and decried that "authority which
seeks to centralize the government
and segregate the people."
Mr. Bonaparte In answer to Mr.
Johnson confined himself principally
to a defense of the constitutionality of
the commodity clause and asserted
that the power of congress to regulate
and evon to prohibit Intersto-te com
merce when It was Inimical to public
interests could not be successfully dis
puted. It Is obvious, he said, that
congress will not admit that a corpor
ation is an Imaginary thing. It can
not be, he continued, that the same
gentlemen can be the active agents In
a railroad company and a coal com
pany, and then deny that the two In
terests are indirectly. If net directly,
the same by taking different names.
Mr. Bonaparte In referring to the

owners of the bridge, which was erect
ed by a grant ot the Btate ot Pennsyl
vania, Invested tholr money knowing
the right of congress to subsequently
pass laws based on changed condi

was that tho power of the railroads to

the laws of Pennsylvania and could
not be Interfered with.

Convicted of Murdering Her Neighbor.
After deliberating for threo hours
nt Watertown, N. Y., the Jury In
the case of Mary Farmer, charged
with the murder of Mrs. Sarah Hren
nan of Brownsville, returned a verdict
of murder in the first degree. "
A motion to set nsldo tho verdict
and giant a new trial was denied by
Justlro Rogers and the defendant
waived tho right of the statutory de
lay of two days. Justice Rogers then
sentenced Mrs. Farmer to death at
Auburn tho week beginning Aug. 2.
The crime for which Mrs. Farmer,
who Is 20 years old, was convicted,
was one of the most fiendish In the
criminal annals of Northern New
York. Her victim, Mrs. Brennan, who
was 65 years old, was her next door
neighbor find most Intimate friend ond

the Brennan home, deeds of which
Mrs. Fanner had forged in October.

MR. SHERMAN ILL
Compelled to Remain In Cleveland
Longer Than He Intended.
Cleveland, Juno 2:t. James School
craft Sherman, Republican nomine
fr'or vice president, has been ill here
for two days. His illness will neces
sitate his remaining here beyoud his
schedule.
Mr. Sherman on his way from Cln
clmi'iti to Cleveland Saturday night
was seized with a billons attack.
Upon arrival here he went to the home
of Myron T. Ilcrrick, former governor
of Ohio, whose guest he was to be
over Sunday. He was compelled to
go Immediately to his room. He had
n large number of Important confer
ences scheduled to take place In this
city and was compelled to break them
all.
Tho physician who was summoned
to attend him ordered that no one be
admitted to the room and that Mr.
Sherman bo not disturbed. There
was nothing alarming nt any time In
Mr. Sherman's condition. His illness
Is believed to have been the result of
hard work at the Chicago convention
and the heat at Chicago and Cincin
nati. His physician had no doubt that
Mr. Sherman would be able to con
tinue his Journey to Utica today at
the attack is at an end.
A great welcome home demonstra
tion was planned for him last night
at Utica but It had to bo declared off.
It may, however, be carried out on his
arrival thtire.
An effort was made to learu Mr.
Sherman's wishes with reference to
tho selection of a national chairman
to conduct the Republican campaign.
No expression could be obtained from
him directly. One of Mr. Sherman'
closest friends said, however, that If
tho question were left to him he would
choose Myron T. Herrlck.
