Voting yesterday In the Daily Fan
handle Popularity Contest resulted
in making no material change 10 tho
standing of contestants though many
Of them received substantial In
creases.
Today the increased allowance Of
votes Is in effect and several can
didates have already signiiied their
intention OF taking advantage OF this
increase and make special effort to
raise their standing, This is an OPP
portunity for contestants who are
some distance from the top Of the
list as they may now secure the
votes with two-thirds of the sub
scriptions that we're necessary to
place leading contestants In the
places they now occupy.
Something About the Gifts.

?. Bent company who date their

musical world and Is recognized as
representative Of the highest type OF
piano perfection.
There is but one grade OF Crown

AbeeNAeNNN
Denver, July The principal
event In connection with the forth
coming Democratic convention today
was the arrival OF Frederick b,
Lynch, Of Minnesota, as representa-
two in chief OF the presidential
boom Of Governor Johnson, The an
nouncemept OF Lynchs coming
caused a renewal Of the discussion
OF the possibilities OF the nomina-
ton OF Governor Johnson for the
wee presidency, rather than proSi-
dent which was conceded on all hands
Privately even by Johnson's support
ers, his nomination for tho first po-
sition is problematical. But his
iriends are determined to have mis-
name presented to the convention
TOR the presidency and most OF them
are quite positive he would not ac-
oept second place even II 1t we're
rendered him
The discussion OF Johnson's chance
tor vice presidency is not INDUCED
IN seriously, by the inner Bryan cir
ces, They do not accept his name
with favor and even thus far in thu
advanced convention, It may he an
nounced, he will not be Bryan's run
ming mate in the event OF the Ne
braskan being nominated, Bryans
friends are steadfast in this point
and while do not openly critic John
sons candidacy they evidently are
displeased at his entering the race.
On the other hand, Judge Gray, of
Delaware, would he very acceptable
to Bryan aud the position is generally
conceded him, II he will accept. His
conservatism would not be a bar, but
would rather help his candidacy
and Bryan's closest friends concede
the wisdom OF selecting candidate
who would be closer with Eastern
thought than Bryan himself and
while ON this point Gray meets the
demand in many respects, he would
not be antagonistic TO Bryan's es-
pecial supporters.
1t Is believed his connection with
the anthracite coal strike arbitra-
ton a few years ago would add i'm
menssly to his popularity on the
ticket among the laboring classes,
and it is contended that while he was
on the federal bench he never antag-
onized the laboring interests
II the nomination does not 20 to
Gray, New York will probably claim
II and will probably get 1t If they
can unite on some candidate. In
other words the situation with ref
erenee TO the vice presidency in Den
yer is now on a parallel with the
vice presidency situation at Chicago

HUNGARIANS
COME TOMORROW

Tomorrow Afternoon at I O'Clock
anC tomorrow nlght at $50 in the
Deandi theater, the Royal Hungarian
Orchestra viii give It's concerts in
Amarillo. owing to change Of dates
made by the managing office of the
company the orchestra was booked
mere for next Monday and some Of
the advertising for the orchestra has
been put out with the date given as
next Monday. BY a later change the
office sends the orchestra here to-
morrow. Advance sales on this at
traction are already large as the at
traction is probably the strongest
musical entertainment ever offered
here. The orcheset makes the sixth
and seventh numbers on the sum-
mer normal chautauqua course.
This is the first time that the or
chestra has ever been engaged in
Texas and to come here It will have
TO travel several hundred miles out
Of Its way. II was only after per-
sistent effort and at big expense
that the Amarillo management Sc
cured a date with the orchestra and
the central managing office would
probably find IL more profitable even
now to get out Of the date here. The
contract, however, here will bring the
orchestra to Amarillo and music low
ers OF the Panhandle will get to hear
what Is unquestionably the greatest
musical organization in lyceum work
and one Of the finest smaller orches-
tras to be found anywhere, Their
record is one OF continuous success
and in places where they have played
weeks or longer engagements the au-
diences have grown larger and more
enthusiastic with each succeeding
concert

Some Of our so-oaled oonseDa-
tive" Democratic contemporaries
contend that we should turn back 10
the ol6-time principles of Democ-
racy. Since these same esteemed
contemporaries are always barking
back 70 the Democracy Of Grover
Cleveland. we presume that that IS
what they consider old-line Dem
ocracy. Judging from the disss-
uous defeat Mr.. Cleveland met with
once and the legacy he left the PEG
PIE and the manner in which the
people hocked TO the Republican
party in 1900. there are a few Amer
ican voters who are tired OF old
tme Democratic" principles. There
are also a few voters in this counuy
who believe that we are only now
getting back to the principles O
