When he glanced at the program this
morning which will be carried out dur
ing the convention the press represen-
tative said: 1T is one of the strongest
programs which has vet been given
comparing favorably with the one that
was arranged for the New York city
convention. 1t is difficult TO make out
a program long in advance of a con-
vention, as the speakers are constant
ly dropping out on account of sickness
at their homes or for other reasons, and
others are Joining the ranks. There are
about 80 of theE- in ALL
1T looks as though you were going to
have Wichita beaten in point of regis
tration-in fact you have her beaten al
ready, as the registration in that city
was but SOL"
According to John H. Moore the actual
registration will probably reach at least
the I500 mark. At noon today the
number of registrations amounted to l.
261, and they were still coming in rap

cts disposed of. but it was the belief
of Secretary Moore that it would be
necessary to make an effort to squeeze
in 1,200 persons in order to satisfy the
demands for places at the dinner table
on Tuesday evening.
Some of the best addresses of the con-
Vention will be given at this first ses-
sion. The delegates and speakers will

tary of the Y. NJ. c. A. in India, who
is considered one of the big men among
q, the 80 speakers.
The expense of the convention has
been met through a registration fee If
one dollar being secured in advance
