VOTE FOR DELEGATES AT LARGE: Total Number of George Fred Wil1iams 270 'Patrick A Collins 614 George McNeill "05 William A Gaston 613 A Smith "66 John it Thayer 614 Charles A Dean 260 William Medical Examiner Julian A. Mead testified- that the broken knife blade found in the pocket of Tucker's overcoat could have made the deep cuts he found on the body of Mabel Page. A double-edged blade of the same width as the knife in evidence would not have produced wounds of any appreciably different character. Dr Mead declared that a microscopic examination of the stains on the knife showed that they were blood. He could not testify that they were human blood.

The spots on Tucker's coat, he believed, were blood, but he could not swear whether the stains were from a human being or an animal. Dr Mead found a hair on the left arm of Tucker's coat, but he said he did not know whether it was a man's or a woman's. The medical examiner said the cause of the death of Miss Page was the five-inch stab in the breast which pierced the right ventricle'of the heart. Dr Mead explained how he at first decided that Miss Page committed suicide; he reasoned that the wound in the throat was a typical suicidal cut, ragged and Irregular. Chief Joseph E.

Shaw of the state police testified that Tucker said he had owned a hunting knife, but had lost it; then he admitted that the knife found in his pocket was his and said he had broken it in three pieces the day after his first examination by the police. -Chief Shaw testified that Tucker admitted that he waa as near to the Page house as Cutter's corner on the day of the murder. Chief Shaw said Tucker was the first one to say that there was blood on his clothing. He explataed it by saying that he had cut his hand chopping wood. Chief Shaw stated that "to his knowledge" there was no witness who saw Tucker nearer the Page house than Cutter's corner.

Chief Shaw "did not know" what had become of the clothing worn by Miss Page or the clothing of Tucker other than the overcoat produced in court. Edward Page, father of Mabel Page, reiterated the pathetic story of finding his dead daughter, and described how he pleaded with Dr Mead to examine the body thoroughly before pronouncing the death a suicide. Arthur J. Woodward told of finding the knife sheath, bearing the teeth marks, on the wagon seat after Tucker left it. The democrats of Massachusetts, in convention assembled, herewith record their conviction that to achieve success in the coming national campaign, our nominee for President should be some citizen, not only acknowledged throughout the union to be of pre-eminent ability and unquestionable integrity and patriotism, but also one whose proved attachment to the constitution and laws of the United States is a sure pledge that lie will obey their.

in- junctions. submit to all their restrictions upon executive authority, and execute them faithfully. To this end we present to the democrats of the United States the name of Richard Olney as one conspicuously qualified for tbe office of President. We present him as a citizen, not only of Massachusetts alone, but of the United States, thoroughly acquainted with the needs of our country, just and impartial toward all its needs, one who has respect for the law in letter and spirit, whose courage and vigor in maintaining our rights, national and international, at home and abroad, have been. put to the test and demonstrated in high public office; one IN ho vigorously enforced the traditional policies of our country by protecting a weak sister republic in South America from the encroachments of a strong European power; one in whom the spirit of justice and of scrupulous regard for the rights of the people, singly and collectively, is inborn.

We hereby instruct the delegates and alternates chosen to attend the national convention at St Louis, by this convention and by the congressional district conventions, to place in nomination the name of Richard Olney as the choice of Massachusetts for the democratic nomination for President; and we further Instruct said delegates and alternates to east the vote of Massachusetts as a unit for him In the eon. vention until the nomination shall be made, or his name shall be withdrawn by authority.

The case Vfras the adjourned to 10 a ni tomorrow. In a democratic state convention held yesterday afternoon in Tremont temple, at times noisy.

turbulent and exciting. the Olney forces triumphed on every point in controversy. Four delegates-at-large and four alternates to the national convention were elected and a resolution instructing the Massachusetts delegation to vote as a unit for Richard Olney in the national convention until he is nominated for President or his name withdrawn by authority was adopted. In addition a second resolution was passed requiring the Massachusetts delegation to voto in the national convention as a unit upon all matters and questions pertaining to the convention in accordance with the will of a majority of the delegation. This result was not reached without more or less discussion in which George Fred Williams and Mayor John P.

Feeney of Weburn were the principal spokesmen for the opposition, Charles S. Hamlin, Josiah Quincy and James B. Carroll of Springfield. the latter the cbairman of the committee on resolutions, representing the majority in the debate. At times the convention threw dignity to the All of the speakers were Interrupted more or less with exclamations of disapproval, cat calls.

applause or hisses. but at no period during the entire convention did the Olney majority lose its grip on the situation. The minority comprised approximately one-third of the convention. but its opposition was neither effective nor impressive. The attendanco at the convention included many of the men prominently identified with the democratic party.

But whenever I hear those accusa Many Mc Nary Calls to Order. At 11:45 the convention was called to order by Hon William S. Mc Nary, chairman of the state committee. He was elected temporary chairman. The committees were appointed.

The committee on credentials, through its chairman, Malachi L. Jennings of Boston, reported the convention entitled to 1020 delegates, of whom 894 were present. Committees on permanent organization, Hon W. T. A.

Fitzgerald chairman; resolutions. Hon James B. Carroll chairman; ballots, Henry T. Schaeffer chairman. and to select four candidates for alternates to St Louis were appointed.

"The duty of selecting those can-dates and of thus limiting the choice of the voter devolves upon the delegates in national convention assembled, and a wise selection of candidates is of the greatest importance both to the country and to the party.

Time was when the republican orators on the stump combated for principle. Time was when the welfare of the public was considered and its judgments respected.
