New York, July 1.-(By AP)-
John W. Davis of West Virginia and
Gov. Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska
are the Democratic party's candidates
for president and vice president.
Emerging on the 103rd ballot as
the Democratic national convention's
choice for the presidential nominat-
ion, the West Virginia lawyer and
diplomat swept away great waves of
bitterness churned up during the 15
preceding days of stormy conflict.
Then taking command immediately,
the new head of the party guided the
convention swiftly toward the select-
Ion of his running mate, the brother
of William Jennings Bryan, his, most
vigorous opponent throughout the
balloting.
Adjourns at 2:30 A. i.
When the convention adjourned at
2:24 a. in. today, it had filled many
new pages of political history, rising
in draratic force from the violent
struggle 12 days ago over naming the
Ku Klux Klan in the party platform
through the record-breaking dead-
lock between supporters of William G.
McAdoo and Gov. Alfred E. Smith
which held throughf100rballots before
a presidential nomination was in sight
and in the closing scenes came a new
precedent in the personal appearance
of the nominee to acknowledge his
gratitude and his prompt assumption
of command.
The final adjournment, which mark-
ed the formal ending of the convention
came two minutes after Gov. Bryan
had been declared nominated for the
vice presidency. Tt was accomplish-
ed with a single ballot, through the
changing of many votes which elim-
inated most of the 30 names that first
appeared, but it was not unanimous.
The weary delegates had finished
their work.
New York, July 10.-(By A.P.)-
After a hectic day, during which he
surrendered good naturedly to a
throng of admirers and photographers
who besieged him repeatedly at the
Waldorf Astorial hotel, John W. Dav-
is, Democratic nominee for President,
tonight escaped from an inundation of
congratulatory telegrams, dined with
Charles W. Bryan, his running mate,
and William Jennings Bryan, and pre-
pared to go to his country home at
Locust Valley, Long Island, for a
brief rest before taking up detailed
plans for his campaign.
William J. Bryan, who had opposed
Mr. Davis' nomination met the nomi-
nee in a corridor of the hotel immed-
iately after Mr. Davis' meeting with
newspaper men this morning. Mr.
Bryan held out his hand, smiled
and said. "I am at your command."
Lincoln, Neb., July 10.-(By A.P.)
-All civic and patriotic organizations
discussed plans today for a homecom-
h ng celebration for Charles W. Bryan,
Democratic Vice-Presdential nominee,
who is expected to arrive Sunday.
Mayor Gehrunghas expressed will-
ingness to issue a proclamation°ask-
ing that the business district at home
be decorated with the national colors.
The Chamber of Commerce told the
governor in a telegram sent to New
York City today, that he will be "roy-
ally welcomed."
THOSE THINGS
one wants, and yet cannot get,
sure do make life miserable.

Puppeteers Give
Pleasing Revue
For Large Group
The marionette show given yes-
terday afternoon and evening at the
Mimes theater for the benefit of the
Women's League was the most suc-
cessful performance the toy actors
have ever presented in Ann Arbor.
The program was about evenly divided
between musical, terpsichorian, and
dramatic numbers- an arrangement
that prevented the occasional mon-
otony of puppet shows, and the dia-
logue and action were both fantastic
and highly amusing.
The clown Harlequin made his us-
ual charming, stiff little bows to the
audience and announced each act in,
verse. A Dutch dance was given by
Hans and Gretzel, two dolls of unus-
ual grace and remarkably limber
joints, and a song was sung by Gio-
vanni, a quaint Italian hurdy-gurdy
man.
The dramatic parts of the prpgram
were a short Japanese fable about a
clever beggar and an easily fooled
miser, the old mummer's play of St.
George and the Dragon, and the last
scene of "Midsummer Night's Dream,"
with its farcial tale of Pyramus and
Thisbe. The scenery of these plays
was quite modern and striking and
the costumes were executed with con-
siderable skill.'
The undoubted hit of the perform-
ance was Madame Galli, the prima'
donna. Her deep, throaty voice, hys-
terical gestures, and quaint system of
breathing gave real dramatic intensity
to her selections. The audience ap.
preciated her ability to the full and'
encored her with generous applause.
NIAAATRIP STRTS
AT 3 OCLOCK TODAY
Sixty-six people will leave for De-
trgit on the D. U. R. this afternoon
at 3:10 on the first leg of the excur-
sion to Niagara Falls. These excur-
sions have been a regular event for
the last twenty years and this year's
party is larger than usual. The trip
from Detroit to Buffalo and return'
will be made by way of the D & C
Steamship lines. The main point of
interest on the trip will be the gorgeI
below the falls rather than the falls
themselves. Professor Hobbs who isl
in charge of the expedition states that!
nowhere else in the world is there so
good a clock for measuring geological
time. The class will study. the gorge
and will work out the incidents of it
history.,
Coolidge's Son
Buried In New
England Home
Plymouth, Mass., July 10.-(By
AP)-In a little village cemetery
where the maples and evergreens
throw long shadows across the old
tombstones on the hillside, they buried
Calvin Coolidge sixteen year old son,
namesake of the president today. Re-
straining in a large part, outward
manifestation of their sorrow, the
President, Mrs. Coolidge, and John
the eldest son, stood with bowed
heads during the short simple com-
mitment service until a marine bugler
had blown "Taps" across the grave.
The cemetary where Calvin was laid
to rest lies on a little hill, dominated
by the Green mountains which over-
shadow in the family plot by the
mother of the President and kinsmen,
an in the same grassy row, where the
grave was dug, are spaces reserved
for the last resting places, of the
President, John and his mother.
Much of official Washington, in-
cluding each cabinet member, the
speaker of the nations House of Rep-
resentatives and the Governors of two
states attended th'e services. The
party from Washington came in the
closely guarded train which halted
at Northhampton in the Edwards Con-
gregational church where Calvin was
a member.
After the last notes of "Taps" had
echoed away, the family group went
for a short time to the old white farm
house of the President's father, Col.
John C. Coolidge where the President
took his oath of office, Aug. 3 a year
ago. Then accompanied by the elderj
Coolidge, the little family, broken
now by death, started on the journey
back to Washington.

PAAVO NURMI CAPTURES
A BRILLIANT VICTORY
Finnish Star Wins Double Victory in
1500 and 5000 Meter Runs, Most
Spectacular Races of Day
Olympic Stadium, Colombes,
France, July 10.-(By A.P.)-
James Brooker, captain elect of
the University of Michigan track
team for next year, and their star
polevaulter, placed third today in
the polevault competition here.
He tied with a Danish rival with
3:90 meters.
Olympic Stadium, Colombes, France,
July 10.-(By A.P.)-Despite the
spectacular double victory of Fin-
land's great runner, Paavo Nurmi,
who won the 1500 and 5000 meter runs
in Olympic record time, the United
States increased its point lead over
the little Scandinavian nation on the
fifth day of the Olympic competitions
today by winning both the pole vault
and the hammer throw.
The result of the hammer throw
final was as follows:
Fred B. Tootell, Boston A. A., first,
53.295 meters; Matt J. McGrath, New
York A. C., second, 50.84 meters; M.
C. Nokes, Great Britain, third, 48.875
meters; Ericson, Finland, fourth, 45.-
285 meters; James MacEachren, Olym-
pic club, San Francisco, sixth, 45.225
meters.
The pole vault final resulted as fol-
lows:
Glenn Graham, California Tech., and
Lee Barnes, Hollywood, Calif., tied for
first with 3.95 meters, equalling the
Olympic competitive record; James K.
Brooker, University of Mich and Pet-
ersson of Denmark, tied for third
place with 3.90 meters; Pickard, Can-
ada, fifth, with 3.80 meters; Ralph]
Spearow, University of Oregon, sixth
with 3.70 meters.
Olympic stadium, Colomnbes, July
10.-(By A.P.)-Within two hours this
afternoon, Paavo Nurmi, Finland's
great distance runner raced to spec-
tacular victory in the 1500 and 5000
meter events breaking the Olympic
record in both distances and winning
an Olympic trial such as no individual
has ever achieved before.-
Nurmi captured the 1500 meter run]
against a' fine field in 3 minutes, 53
3-5 seconds, clipping off 3 and 1-5 sec-
onds from the old record but failing]
by 2-5 of a second to equal his own;
world record. He won the 5000 meter,
from his fellow countryman, Willie
Ritola, in 14 minutes, 31 and 1-5 sec-]
onds, meeting both the Olympic and
world record by several seconds. ]
But even this super trial of Fin.
land's greatest ace, could not check
the onward march of the uniteds
States for the Americans demonstratd
their superiority in the pole vault and
hammer throw, the emaining finals of'
the fifth day of Olympic competition
and lengthened their mounting point
lead over the rival Scandavian na-
tion in the dual for international su-
preacy.
The glory which went in double
measure to Nurmi was also shared
for the day by two young Americans,
Fred Tootel, Boston A. A., who cap-;
tured the hammer throw by a decis-
ive margin from his countryman, Max
J. McGrath, New York A. C. veteran
of four Olympics and Lee Barnes, the
the 17 year old California high school
boy who won the pole vault laurels in+
the jump off with his coast rival Glenn
Graham, after they had tied for first
place at a height of 12 feet, 11 1-2
inches, which equalled the Olympic
record.
These three sent Finland's emblem
and the stars and stripes exclusively
up the victory pole for the day. But
another hero run tothe top in Joseph
Imbach, unsung and unheralded swift
whirlwind, who won his heat in the
second trials of the 400 meter run4
