PLAN WARFARE
ON SALOONS

WAUPACA, Wis, July 31,-Visitors
from far and near gathered today at
the Camp Cleghorn assembly grounds
to take part in the fifty second annual
session of the wisconsin grand lodge of
Good Templars. The formal opening
takes place this evening and the pro-
ceedings will continue through the re-
mainder of the week.
The session promises to be the most
important in the history of the state
organization. 1t is probable that ac-
ton will be taken to establish a legal
department for the purpose of furnish
ing free legal advice to communities
desiring to enforce the laws against the
saloons. Another project to receive at
tention calls for the maintenance of a
series of temperance schools in the
form of <lctures on the scientific phases
of the temperance question.
The reports to be presented to the
grand lodge meeting show that the
Good Templars now have over 200
branch organizations in wisconsin, in
Guiding a score or more working in the
Scandinavian languages. The organi-
cations claims a large share of the
credit for bringing about prohibition in
nearly 700 towns throughout the state

CONVENTION OF
REPUBLICANS
Oklahoma Leaders Meet
Declare Party Policy In
New State

TULSA, I. T., July S1.-A majority
of the 1000 delegates and large num-
Der of other visitors have already ar
rived here in anticipation of the first
republican convention of the state OF
Oklahoma. The convention will be
called to order at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning by J. H. Hamon, chairman OF
the state committee.
The work of the convention, in the
language of the official call, will be to
decide what will be the policy Of the
republican party relative to- the rejec-
ton or adoption of the proposed con-
stitution; to make a declaration of
mittee and a chairman of the state
central committee, and to nominate
candidates for state officers, should the
convention decide to make such nom
nations"
Talks among the delegates already
considerable difference of opinion as to
the wiser course for the party to pur-
sue. Some are still outspoken in favor
of the convention refusing to nominate
state ticket and preparing to fight
the adoption of the constitution to the
last ditch. Those in favor of follow
ing this course, however, are apparent
ly not nearly SO numerous as they
were month ago. before the consti-
tutional convention had reassembled
and made changes in the document to
meet the objections of considerable
element of the population.
From present indications the larger
and more influential element of the
party believe that the adoption of the
constitution is inevitable and that the
republicans should prepare make the
best of the situation by naming a state
ticket and otherwise placing itself in
position to put up a good fight at the
first election.
Those in favor of this course are led
by Governor Frantz, and If a state
ticket is named Governor Frantz will
in all probability head the ticket as
candidate for first governor of the new
state. Governor Frantz is looked upon
as the representative of the Roosevelt
administration In Oklahoma politics.
He controls the federal patronage. and
through him the president recently
brought about truce between the
warning political factions of the terri
tory.
