AGED MAN FOHOB
Albert E. Fuller, Residing North
east of That Place Dies Sud
denly at Shack Si ear River.
Sunday morning the dead body
of Albert E. Fuller, an aged recluse
who has been residing in the vicinity
of Union for a number of years was
discovered at his shack along the
banks of the Missouri river, north
east of the town of Union.
Mr. Fuller had been at the home
of William Clarence, a short dis
tance from his home earlier in the
morning and had left there about
7:..0 stating that he would return
and have breakfast with the Clar
ence family, and the meal was de
layed for some time but he failed to
rhow up and latter members of the
family walked over to the shack in
which Mr. Fuller was living and
discovered his dead body, he having
evidently been suddenly stricken
down and passed away without warn
ing. It is stated by neighbors th:it he
has been in poor health for some
time but was not thought to be in
serious condition.
There is little known of the aged
man beyond the fact that he was
p;.-1 seventy years of age and loaves
a brother to survive his death that
resides in New Jersey, but his ex
act residence is unknown.
The fact of the death was com
municated to the authorities here
and John P. Sattler, the undertaker,
called to assume charge of the body
which was brought to this city.
There was a brief funeral service
held at the Sattler chapel this after
noon and the body laid to rest in
Oak Hill cemetery.

STILL STANDS PAT
FOB MR. RALSTON
Indiana Boss Sticking Loyally to
First Love and Refuses to En-
ter Any Combination.
New York, June 2'J. Thomas
Taggart had a busy day keeping him
self out of conferences at which the
fortunes of various candidates other
than his own Senator Ralston
were under discussion.
Several friends of Senator Ralston
from the senatorial group called on
him to discuss the situation and to
suggest the; various possible deals,
but Taggart said he had approved
none; of them. The Indiana leader
reiterated what he has said many
times during the convention, that he
is hewing straight to the line for
Ralston, thinks he will win and that
he is not out to make any combina
tions whatever.
West Virginia leaders of the John
W. Davis-for-steond-choice move
ment expressed gratification today
over the results of last nignt's tu
multuous scenes in the convention
hall.
There was more than the usual
amount of optimism at the headquar
ters of Senator Glass of Virginia.
Senator Swanson, who placed Sena
tor Glass in nomination, said he was
confident that the position of his col
league will become stronger as the
balloting continues. Senator Glass
continued his attitude of silence as
to his candidacy.
Several statements, formal and in
formal, came from Smith headquar
ters during the day. The governor
expressed his willingness if nomi
nated to accept the party platform
as approved by the convention early
today.
"I have read the principal planks,"
he said. "The platform represents
the decision of the supreme body of
the party and speaks for the party.
That includes me."
Frankliu D. Roosevelt issued this
statement as manager of the Smith
campaign: "We respect the verdict
and know; that we can confidently
rely on our southern and western
brothers for their traditional fair
play. We shall go forward with
them now as before with the same,
sympathetic co-operation in the
task of choosing a candidate who
can win."

Cleveland, O.. June 30. There will

"no 7 5 -ml nuts drummed-up demon
strations' during the convention of
the conference for progressive politi

Gilbert Hyatt, representing the na
tional committee of the conference,
announced today.
"If Senator La Follette is nomi
nated, it will be by the spontaneous
action of the convention," he de
clared. Leaders here arranging the con
ference are awaiting a statement
from Senator La Follette which they
beiieve will clear up the question
whether he would accept if nomi
nated. His nomination, they assert,
is certain.
The convention is expected to run
through Friday and Saturday with
probably night sessions. Efforts will
be made to finish uu bv earlv Sun
day.
William R. Johnston, chairman of
the conference, who will deliver the
keynote address, is expected tomor
row. Other speakers on the opening
day's program include Senator Shin-
stead, Minnesota, Mrs. Mabel Costi-
gan of Colorado, Senator Lynn Fra
ier of North Dakota and Kdward
Keating, editor of a labor magizine.
Bishop F. J. Mcf'onnell will deliver
the opening invocation.

our deepest appreciation of the many
tender words of sympathy shown to
US in the great bereavement of the

to our loved one in her lifetime.
