Hughes Notified as Nominee in Party Split Debate
Charles E. Hughes was formally notified last week of his presidential nomination by the Republican party. The speech acceptance drew praise from Republicans as strong and dignified and criticism from Democrats as unimpressive. Burleson called the speech worse than pussy-footing, while the New York Tribune labeled it an indictment of failure. The Gazette presents main points emphasizing Americanism, diplomacy failures in Mexico, demand for protection of citizens, no secret schemes, and readiness, including support for woman suffrage. A separate item reports a derailment accident and injuries to Reuben Griffith, plus plans to dedicate the Oregon Soldiers and Sailors monument on September 4 with addresses and music.

A 48 foot high silo and expanded hay storage for 100 tons of timothy are among fall improvements as conditions improve for heavy Western cattle trade.
