Ignatius Donpelly's boom for the presi-

evening Mr. ponnelly had not openly de-

nation whatever.
Some Of the delegates. notably thos-
from Nebraska and Missouri. are advanc-
ing the idea that the convention as a whole
should adjourn Immediately after conven-
ing 10 meet In Kansas City on the same
day that the democrata and saver repub-
licans are TO assemble there
The delegates have not reached the point
OF talking openly on the question OF vice
presidential candidate, but there is 4
growing feeling on this subject and unless
a means is found OF harmonizlng the senu-
ment before the vice presidential nominal
ton is reached in the order OF business
there will almost certainly be a very spir-
tied fight over that point. Ii is already
apparent that the attendance at the con-
vention will not be as large as had been
counted on The reduction of rates by the
railroads extended on the east only as
far as New York and on the west only TO
Montana, probably cutting on the attend
ance of many delegates and visitors from
the Pacific coast and also possibly some
delegates from the New England States,
A majority Of these states, 1t is said,
will. however. be represented by delegates
II not by visitors. Chairman Butler cN-
presses the opinion that all the States and
Territories will be either wholly or par
TALLY represented except Alabama, Arkan-
sas. Mississippi, Florida, Vermont, New
Hampshire and Rhode Island. There Will
be probably some contest for the position
OF National chairman. Chairman Edmis-
ton of Nebraska is an ayowed candidate
for the position and apparently has the
support Of Nebraska and neighboring
States for It,
Senator Butler has not yet announced
whether he Will be candidate for re-elec-
tlon or not.
The weather now makes favorable prom
Use for the opening OF the convention to-
morrow. The skies are perfectly clear and
there is apparently no danger except from
wind The breeze today split two sections
OF the huge tent in which the convention
is to be held. This Incident, of course,
caused some apprehension as to the result
in case Of repetition OF todays weather
conditions after the asscmblage Of the con-
vention.
Delegates from twenty-eight States and
Territories, including one from Alaska. are
said to be here tonight, while delegate s
from at least FIVE other States are expect
ed to arrive tomorrow

They Wantonly Destroy Property and

The police of the Third District arc
after thu bad boys in the Wcst-End who
are giving the citizens of that locality a
great amount Of trouble and worry.
The boys are more than 1nisch evous.
They seem to have wanton d sire to
destroy property. They congregate in
crowds. and make the vacant lot, sur
rounded by Pine, Laurel and Cary Str cts
their stamping grounds. Back yards are
entered and small articles, such as axes
and brooms, OF more or less value, ale
carri d off. Bad language is used and
rocks are thrown.
Within the past few days the new build
ings Of St. Andrews parish home. ON
South Cherry Street, hav been entered,
and the wall paper and paint ruined W Ia
daubs OF paint and lime This damage IS
great, and has put the contractors to
much time and expense to II pair.
These boys are on the streets until late
hours at night, and the mischief they g t
into is a strong argument for the Glenn
