afforded them by the Union young
people. No formal program was
given, but the time was devoted to
social enjoyment and all present
pronounced the reception a most de
lightful affair.

Announcements have been receiv-,
ed of the recent marriage of Miss
Menna Tuckenhager, formerly ai
teacher in the Union public schools,
to Mr. Joy Fairhead of Martin, So. !
Dakota. For some time the bride
has been making her home in Gor
don, where she has been engaged in
teaching. Her many friends here will
remember her as one of Union's best
and most popular teachers, a lady
described as having many winning
smiles which endeared her to a large
circle of friends.
The young folks will make their
home at Martin, where the groom is
proprietor of a large ranch.
Took the Joy Out of the Fourth
According to previous arrange
ments and in response to an urgent
telephone call from the committee
having in hand the 4th of July cele
bration at Syracuse, the Union ball
team traveled overland to Syracuse,
where they were to play the Eagle
team of Nebraska City for a purse
of $50 which the Syracuse commit
tee claimed to have hung up for the
occasion, the teams to arrange be
tween themselves how it was to be
divided.
When the teams arrived at Syra
cuse, the weather looked rather
ominous, and the committee would
not have the game pulled off. Neith
er would the members consent to
pay even the transportation expense
incurred by the teams in coming to
Syracuse to play. There was consid
erable bitterness felt by the mem
bers of both teams on account of the
treatment they received. No one
could blame the players for feeling
sore under the circumstances and in
our opinion it will be a good long
time before the town of Syracuse
will be able to get either of these
teams there on any pretense they
may have to offer.
Will Play Here Sunday
A game has been arranged for
next Sunday between the "Union
Sammies" and the local team. This
game will be played on the Union
grounds, beginning promptly , at
three o'clock. The "Sammies" are a
well matched team and lovers of the
great American sport had better
keep their eyes open and remember
the date.
Dr. P. J. Flynn departed this
morning for Omaha and from where
he will drive to Norfolk to attend

of which he is a member and expects

NAME NAVAL
CHIEF TO RUN
WITH OHIOAN
ASSISTANT SECRETARY NOMIN
ATED WITHOUT BALLOT AS
MATE OF GOVERNOR
TAMMANY CONVERTED TO HIM
Quick Action on Second Place Fol
lowing Breaking of Deadlock
Other Candidates Withdraw
San Francisco, Cal., July 6.
Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York,
assistant secretary of the navy, was
nominated for vice president today
by the democratic national conven
tion and became then running mate
of Governor James M. Cox of Ohio,
democracy's choice for the presi
dential nomination.
The first cries of "Cox and Roose
velt" rang through the convention
hall and were mixed with the shouts
of the vote of acclamation by which
he was nominated without a ballot.
Despite the disinclination of the
Tammany organization to accept him
Roosevelt's name went over with a
band wagon movement during which
all other candidates were withdrawn.
James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois
was withdrawn early by former Gov
ernor Dunee; Governor Stewart of
Montana announced his own with
drawal; Edward L. Doheny of Cali
fornia and former Governor Hawley
of Idaho were withdrawn, and Ma
jor General L. D. Tyson of Tennes
see in purson announced that he
would not be a contender, as did
David R. Francis of Missouri. Nom
ination of W. T. Vaughn of Oregon,
who had received state primary in
dorsement, was changed into a sec
ond for the successful nominee.
Bainbridge Colby, secretary of
state, who was considered as a can
didate and refused to allow his name
to be used, finally was urged to con
sent if he should be "drafted". As
it fell out the Tammany crowd de
cided to accept Roosevelt, who
brought to the ticket the participa
tion of an administration man, and
Mr. Colby's name was not consid
ered further.
Mr. Roosevelt was placed in nom
ination by Timothy L. Ansl-.erry, a
former representative from Ohio,
who sat as a Cox delegate in the
District of Columbia delegation.
Seconds sprang from all parts of
t'.ie convention hall and although
Roosevelt was not formally received
until well after the business of the
nomination was taken up, there was
never any doubt about it and never
at any time was there any opposi
tion. The seconding of his nomina
tion by Governor Smith of New
York from the Tammany delegation
clinched it.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
permanent chairman of the conven
tion, was appointed chairman of the
committee to notify Governor Cox
of his nomination and Chairman
Homer S. Cummings of the demo
cratic national committee was ap
pointed chairman of the committee,
to jiotify Mr Roosevelt.
After its tumultous session of forty-four
ballots, when it broke the
deadlock by the nomination of Gov
ernor Cox for president, the conven
tion reassembled at noon to finish
its work. There was at first a de
lay utilized by the Cox managers to
hear from the governor about his
wishes on the vice presidential nom
ination. E. H. Moore of Youngstown,
O., who managed the governor's fight
let it be known that Cox was willing
to leave the selection of his running
mate to the convention.
Writh that the forces easily and
quickly coalesced and after Roose
velt's nomination applauded an ap
preciation of him by his chief, Sec
retary Josephus Daniels.
During the closing moments of
the convention the usual formal res
olutions affecting the national com
mtitee and the convention organiza
tion were adopted with a resolution
expressing thanks and appreciation
of the convention to the city of San
Francisco.
Some of the political managers re
called that today was the second
time that political leaders of the
state of New York had against their
will accepted a man named Roose
velt on the national ticket. The late
Thomas C. Piatt was reluctant to ac
cept Theodore Roosevelt for the vice
presidential place in 1900 and the
Tammany organization was reported
no more favorably inclined to accept j
Franklin D. Roosevelt today. I
Mr. Roosevelt left the convention
hall just before he was nominated,
but after his nomination was a cer
tainty to a number of fFiends he re
called that before the convention he
