Cox is wet or dry, because W. J.
Bryan prevented anything wet get
ting into the democratic platform.
Mr. Murray declared that the plat
form is dry and therefore he is sat
isfied. "Governor Cox has beneath him
the most virile and splendid platform
ever adopted by any party within
the history of this country," af
fiimed Mr. Murray, who .added:
"Mr. Cox will have the entire sup

Record is Admirable.
Harland L. Mossman, who served
as chairman of the local independent
democratic committee during the
primary campaign, offered to cor
roborate Mr. Murray's testimony as
to the strength of the democratic
plafom.
"The record of Governor Cox i
an admirable one and I am for him,"
said Mr. Mossman, who declined, to
enter into a discussion over the ob

Cox.

TRADING IN WHEAT
FUTURES TO START
BY MIDDLE OF JULY
Advisory Committee to Take
Up Recommendations of
Leading Exchanges.
r By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire,
Chicago, July 6. It is expected
that trading in wheat futures will
start in all markets July IS with
dealing in December delivery. A
few of the members of the outside
exchanges who met here today to
make final arrangements for starting
the wheat trading, favored trading in
the nearby months after beginning
in December, but it was not acted
upon favorably, as it is contingent
upon transportation conditions, ana
if taken up there will have to be an
other meeting of the committee.
The advisory committee will meet
here tomorrow and take up the rec
ommendations of the committee of
16 jeprf settling the eight leading ex
changes which finished its work here
today.
The four leading wheat exchanges.
Chicago,' Minneapolis, Duluth and
Kansas City, are to have No. 3 wheat
as a regular delivery at a penalty
ot 5c. Winter wheat is to be a reg
ular delivery at Minneapolis under
the provisions of the new rule now
up to be adopted later, the penalty
Sc under the spring. No. 1 northern
is to be the contract grade at Min
neapolis and winter is to be delivered
at 5c under each grade of spring.
As new wheat is selling in Oklahoma
at $2.40, it is believed by some of
the members from the southwest
that the price should start here at
around $2.50 with December at a dis
count under Cash wheat.

"There is none now, I believe, on
either side of thfr-Atlantic," he said,
"who does not think that they were-
right. Though neither you nor we

of all your people as they are a
living memory and possession of all
the British people."
Gen. Pershing accepted the sword
"in the name of the men of Ameri

Britain and our other allies, com
bined the courage and skill that
brought a new victory to our race
and to all those who seek justice
and liberty for mankind.
"The glorious thing for this gen

to have had the privilege of bat
tling together," said Gen. Pershing,
"will be still more glorious, if, in
