Forecasts Of the convention at st.
Louis show that Parker's managers are
conducting an effective campaign among
the uninstructed delegates and are max
ing strong claims of the New York
Jur1st's nomination on the first ballot
Leaders of the anti-Parker strength,
however, place entire reliance on their
ability to control more than one-third
the delegates and defeat Parker.
In brief. the situation seems to be:
Parker on the first OF second ballot, or
a dark horse on the fourth or fifth bal
lot. In the latter case. German is look

A GREAT CROWD
OUT LAST NIGHT
Branagan & Brannan's Reception
Was Well Attended.

More than fifteen hundred people
attended the reception given by Bran
agan & Brannan last night, and their
large and beautiful store would not
accommodate hundreds of visitors,
who were turned away. Few similar
affairs in Palestine ever equaled this
one, proving conclusively that this is
a very popular store.
This vast throng drank four large
tubs Of grape juice punch, and more
than 400 dishes of ice cream was
served.
A Mexican band from balcony fur
nished music for the occasion.
The store was beautifully decorated,
and home products were especially
featured. The Branagan & Brannan
home roasted cofTees, elaine" and
Lilly" we're conspicuously displayed
in neat packages, with this sign:
ave roast our own coffee, and give
you better drink than foreign roast
ed. The Elaine brand % cents; the
Lilly brand 10 cents"
Another sign read:
eve carry in stock fine home made
lard, put up by the Palestine Pack
cry"
A great pyramid of salt, put up in
) cent cartons, was another feature,
and sign stating that this salt was
manufactured by the Palestine Salt
Co.
A guessing contest was a feature.
A glass jar of "Elaine" roasted coffee
is on display, and each was given a
guess at the number of coffee beans in
the jar. The one guessing nearest
gets $50 ball bearing White Sewing
Machine. This contest is for ladies
only, and each lady visiting the store
gets guess, whether she buys any
thing or not. The contest closes July
4.
Last night the guesses ranged from
few hundred up, the highest being
30, Az, 800. :
