PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE
Prepare Data To Send to Congress-
man BfOuSsard in Effort to
Secure Post Office Build

Wednesday morning the Pro
gressive League held a meeting
at the city hall and prepared a
lot of data which they forwarded
to Congressman Broussard to
present before the appropriation
committee of the House in sup
port of the bill introduced by
Mr.. Broussord for the erection
of a post Office building at Lafay-
cite.
A letter was received a few
days ago from Mr.. Broussard
urging that all the data possible
should be sent oMssist him in
in his effort to have the appropri-
alton made. Messrs. E. G. Voor-
HES and G. D. Caffery by request
took charge of preparing and ar
ranging the statistics and other
information as to the size. growth
and Importance of Lafayette as a
business center, and they for
warded Mr.. BrOusSard a strong
argument in that way for the
government to give this city a
Federal building.
There is a strong disposition
on the part of Congress to be
short on making appropriations,
an dit may be that that may cause
this city to fail to get the Federal
building, but present indications
are exceedingly favorable.

Vienna, July 5.-Prof. Rudolph Marsh all, the famous painter has just returned from Rome, where he painted portrait of Pope Plus in oil. He said:
 Tn my professional capacity 1 have visited many royal persons and many centers of state and political industry, but I never saw such a beehive as the Vatican.
 "The papal palace is a house of work and prayer There seems to be nothing but worship and work going on there. The Pope his secretaries, and his of fioiaIs are forever devoting themselves to business of state or church. Even while the holy father sat with me he was con- tinuously receiving reports of one kind or another The majority of these were de- livered by word of mouth, and l never heard more concise language in my life The Pope's answers and decisions were as brief and to the point as the messages delivered.
 Tn the Vatican palace all languages are heard morning, noon and night. Aside from the regular ambassadors accredited to the holy see, delegations from foreign countries are constantly received. The papal secretary of states business hours are from ' a. m. to 10 D, m., and he told me he had the hardest time in the world to secure sufficient time for meals.
 "A sSory was printed some time ago in a New York paper picturing Pope Plus as a great newspaper reader He him. self told me that the longer he sat on the papal throne the more he felt the necessity of keeping up with the daily newspapers.

SECOND PLACE WILL NOT
 BE FILLED AT ONCE

|, nomination for the presidency goes 10 him he will desire to be consulted as to the oh oiee of a running mate.
 He has repeatedly said that he woulh prefer Judge Gray for this position but today for the first time since the delegations began to gather, there has been falling off in the Gray vice presidential boom. It was generally credited to the positive statement made yesterday by Judge Gray that he would not consider the place. It Is also known that some strongly an tagonistic representations concerning Judge Gray have been recently made to Mir. Bryan by his recognized ad visers, who declare that these have not failed of effect.
 There has also been decided falling off during the day in the effort to boost Judge Gaynor of New York for the vice presidency. It has been hinted that MT. Gaynor has antagonized the Catholic church, and" said a dele gate who is himself a Catholic, "it Is not to be supposed that we are going to take chances in this campaign by nominating a man who is at least not acceptable to the Catholic vote"
 It is still contended, however, that if New York will get together and name an acceptable candidate the vice presidential nomination will go to that state.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-07-06

Denver, July 1.-The question of selec- tion of a candidate on the democratic ticket for the vice presidency will not be determined until after the nomination Of a candidate for the presidency. This IS the decree of MT. Bryan, and has been communicated to the Bryan leaders. MT. Bryan has taken the position that not until after the first position has been filled can there be a really intelligent se- lection for the second place.
 When the nomination shall have been made and there shall be an opportunity to consider its effect upon the country at large then, he thinks, and not until then, can the vice presidency be intelligently considered This desire on the part of Mir Bryan has been received generally with favor. Most of the delegates agree that the situation can be sized up to bet ter advantage after the first selection has been completed than before that event, and furthermore that there has been so much talk regarding the vice presidency that most of the delegates welcome an excuse for at least temporarily dropping the subject.
 MT. Bryan has not hesitated in let ting the fact be known that if the
