EXHIBIT Project
IS GAINING FAVOR

Although no definite dates or
plans have been agreed upon for the
exhibit days here next fall, the pro-
ject is gaining favor and promises
big success. 1t has not been the in
tention of the committee to dignity
the meeting this year by the name
Of fair, because the plan for the
Panhandle Fair Association was, and
is, considerably more extensive than
the committee can hope to execute
this year. But the exhibit days will
constitute fair nevertheless and
will be good beginning for the Sc
rles OF big Panhandle fairs which
will be held here every fall.
The arrangement which is being
made with the management of Glen
wood amusement park will enable
the committees to do away with the
biggest items OF expense which would
be encountered II the fair were built
In another place, The entire TWEEN
ty-five acres Of Glenwood park will
be enclosed by the date OF the ex-
hibit days and all the buildings which
are to be undertaken by the park
management this year will be COM
plete. The new opera house in Glen
wood is a surprisingly slightly build
ing and 1t is also the biggest audi
forum north of Fort Worth, not ex-
cepting the Deandi and the new OPP
era house in Amarillo. 1t is being
admirably equipped for a convention
or fair auditorium and for fair meet
ings and band concerts 1t could
hardly be improved upon,
Booths for the more valuable small
exhibits can be arranged In the thea
ter building. For stock exhibits and
extensive field products displays,
temporary sheds will be built at con-
venient places on the grounds. Sheds
of the same kind will be built for the
machinery exhibits which various
hardware and implement houses have
already indicated they would be glad
to make. As all the buildings Will
have an abundant water supply from
the parks own plant and will. be
supplied with electric lights, these
various departments of a fair can be
built up a. an outlay that will be re-
markedly sinai! in comparison with

Troop B Men in Camp Complain of
Commissary.

Letters from members Of Troop B
now in camp at Leon Springs near
San Antonio state that the commits
sary department lacks several de-
tails and much chuck OF being what
the troopers feel is suitable for them.
The camp at which the boys from
here are located is several miles away
from the main depot for commlssary
and other supplies and for the first
few days at least, transportation ia
cilites were so poor that the troops
at the new camp had TO be kept on
half rations. Tents and other COM
forts were also lacking and the men
slept in the open with one blanket
apiece. In spite OF these drawbacks
the boys are making the best of the
situation, are getting some pleasure
out OF grumbling over their fate, and
are feeling thankful that the encamp-
ment does not last month.

Yesterdays vote was considerably
larger than that cast on the preced-
ing day in the Daily Panhandle. Pop
ularity Contest, The most notable
gain was that Of Miss Jennie Frank
lin who received 10000 which places
her less than $4,000 votes behind
Miss Slade, the leading contestant.
In the early days of this contest this
lead of $4,000 would have seemed
almost insurmountable but, under
present conditions, such lead seems
almost Insignificant as 1t is now a
comparatively easy matter to secure
900 or even 100000 votes because
of the clubbing offer now in force.
A number Of other candidates re-
ceived substantial gains but there
was no other big vote cast for a sim
gle candidate. The steady vote that
is coming in for candidates, regard
less of their standing is very encour-
aging and shows that the closing
days of this contest are quite likely
to develop somosurprising changes.
1t is learned from authentic sources
that there are number OF candi-
dates who have friends who are wait
ing only until the last days OF the
contest before casting big votes for
them. These votes are now held in
reserve and will be cast only at the
close OF the contest, There are also

rumors Of big out n town votes for
various candidate What the stand
ing OF contestants may be two weeks
hence no one can reasonably hazard
an opinion upon. There have al
ready been many unexpected changes
made and there is likely to be even
greater ones. Ng'l..
Tn importance of personal effort
cannot be too strongly impressed up
on candidates at this time. There
are candidates in this contest who
themselves do not realize their
strength. A gentleman was heard
TO remark yesterday that If Miss
would try to form club he would
give his share ana DO all that he
could to help her in securing others.
II you who now occupy favorable
positions will give your personal eff
forts to securing clubs you will find
1t an easy matter to go to leading
psoitions in short time The in
crease Of so per cent OF votes al
lowed on subscriptions makes it pos
sible to reach first place now with
only two-thirds OF the vote that was
required to place the candidate in
that position who now occupies it.
Personal effort Is what will count in
this contest above everything else
and each contestant may feel that
the result rests only with her. 4

the platform which -; ), Cd Giasn
up by the members Of the New York
delegation. Both sets OF suggestions
we're received without discussion by
members Of the committee and no
action was taken on any of the
planks. Governor Swanson OF Vir-
gna, presented a plank entitled
THE degeneracy Of the house Of rep
resentatives which he read with the
comment that he believed II would
be popular Issue, 49,.
After receiving this mass OF ma
terial for the platform and being as
sured by other members OF the sub
committee they had no other planks
to offer, the committee recessed UNI
til o'clock this morning. This
session of the subcommittee was pre-
coded by an open hearing before the
full committee during which John
Mitchell, President Gompers and
other labor leaders were heard all
their remarks relating to the sug-
gested injunction plank.
The subcommittee of the commit.
tee on resolutions, to which was sub.
mitted details for the preparations
of the platform, resumed work at
$50 this morning, listened to the
reading of the proposed plank by
Dnhart N Inpoan pg nrnUNn uyhicb ie,
intended to cover the exclusion Of
Japanese coolie labor, Following Is
the text: Oriental laborers are with
in our borders in vast and increas-
ing numbers, especially on the Pa
cific coast they are being employed
by tens Of thousands In every branch
OF labor, thereby reducing wages and
depriving American citizens OF the
means OF earning livelihood. We
demand a speedy enactment OF fsws
that will prevent further immigra-
ton Of Oriental laborsrs into these
United States"
Thi5 plank proposed by lnman was
apparently received with favor by
the subcommittee and II is generally
believed will go into the platform.
The credentials committee this
morning sustained the action OF the
national committee in the New York

feated in the Pennsylvania contest
and the Dubois faction was seated in
the Idaho contest. The decision in
the New York case destroys the last
hope Of the McCarren faction to Sc

The letter reads as follows:
