PROGRESSIVE PARTY
HAS HEADQUARTERS
FRANK FRANTz OPENS HEAD
QUARTERS FOR RooseveLr,s
PARTY IN THIS STATE.

Bartlesville, Okla. June 26.-State
headquarters for the progressive party
in Oklahoma has been opened here
by Frank Frantz. a Roosevelt lieuten-
ant.
Frantz said he would issue call
for a state convention for August.

are 1902 votes in the convention. It
takes 729 to nominate under the two
thirds rule. The Clark-Underwood
Tammany coalition polled 579 votes
for Judge Parker. Th-1 ts $50 short
of the necessary two thirds. The Will
son people say they will not come
from their ranks.
Working on Deadlock.
On the other hand. the Wilson ad-
herents In conference are counting
on not exceeding 800 men who will
stay in the fight against Clark till the
convention ends. They are negotiat-
ing tonight with the Pennsylvania and
other delegations to form a compact
block of 364 men who will deadlock
the convention if necessary. to prevent
the nomination of Champ Clank. They
believe that there will be enough Un-
derwood and otherwise uninstructed
delegates to join in this movement to
make Clark nomination impossible
aud possibly to enable them to force
an acceptable comprsmisa. should
Wilson fail to capture the nomination.
Everything of course, depends up
on the nature of the pact or under
standing between Murphy and the
Clark managers. 1t is clear that many
Clark men voted for Bryan against
Parker because they did not care to
go on record at home as having voted
against Bryan in the fight against
Parker and. therefore. it is patent that
Clark can poll stronger vote than
Bryan did If the Murphy coalition
lines up for the Missourian.
TO win they will have to carry with
them to Clark all Of the Underwood
vote, and the Wilson managers claim
tonight to have assurances that they
will never do this. The Wilson man
ayers also say that the lines are so
sharply drawn that Bryan can now no
longer contend that both Clark anu
Wilson are progressives and they as
sert that he will be compelled TO
throw his whole strength aud influ-
ence now for Governor Wilson.

Nothing Like That Here"
I'VE will have nothing like that in
this convention" he said. We had a

ed to be severe. II l thought the
chief speaker today was little bit
harsh. | remembered the three great
struggles he mdde for the democratic
party in this country"
A burst of applause and a shout
of Bryan. Bryan" interrupted the
speaker.
Il realize that this meant much to
him. continued Mr.. Parker and
if he was mistaken in regard to my
position, / believe it is your duty
and mine to forgive it and stand
with him"
Can Render Great Service.
There is one place where he Is
wanted, where he is capable of rem
dering great service. That Is as
chairman of the resolutions commit
tee. hope and believe that every
member of that committee will hon
or himself by casting his vote for
Mr.. Bryan for chairman.
MY fellow citizens, there are no
reactionaries; whatever they may
have been once, there are none now.
The democrats are progressSes,
Now it may possibly be true that
here in this great convention. with
all these able men coming from
every section of the country, say
it may be true that all OF you Will
all agree upon this one proposition,
that the voice Of The majority of the
convention, speaking through It's
committee on resolutions, and by the
adoption of the committees report
by the convention, shall speak the
will of every democrat in this land"
Takes FIashlisht.
While Judge Parker was earnestly
arguing the tariff question, busy
photographer climbed up the edge
of the platform and set off flash
light, which exploded loudly almost
in the speakers face. Parker hes
itated, a loud "Oh" swept the croWd
and the photographer dashed on,
followed by gale of laughter.
When Mr.. Parker referred to the
democratic tariff bills there arose

Tuesday Nights Session.
Baltimore, Md. June 25.-A rap
fire routine session tonight clos
ed the first day of the democratic
convention, which began with the
defeat of William j. Bryan for tenn
porary chairman this afternoon
Scenes of disorder on the floor,
which made futher proceedings i'm
possible, forced tonight's session and
compelled Alton B. Parker to sus-
pend his keynote speech until the
evening session.
Delegates In a Hurry.
Tonight the delegates on the floor
gave earnest evidence of their de-
sire to do everything in hurry.
Leaders had planned to adjourn the
session tonight until o'clock tomor-
row and to have the committees,
which were appointed tonight, meet
at 10 O'Clock in the morning. But
the delegates would not hear to
this plan, and disorderly protests
from the floor forced an adjourn
ment until noon and advanced the
committee meeting to immediately
after tonight's session. The dele
gates were very excited about hur-
rying things along. A voice from the
floor during the discussion annOunc-
ed:
"No Perkins to Pay Bills"
We have no Perkins to pay our
bills"
The completion of Judge Parker's $
speech and the naming O. the -. =
vention committees was all tho con-
vention did tonight. W. J. Bryan
did not appear in the convection
hall during the evening. His failure
to be on hand resulted in an Almost
immediate adjournment of the res
olutions committee, whic!. met after
the session. 1t was ylac.icaily err
tain Mr.. Bryan would be elected
chairman of the committee. The
other committees got together imme-
diately for organization.
Delegates Gather Slowly.
Put scattering attendance appeart Z
in the galleries at s o'clock. There
were hundreds of vacant seats in the
delegate sections. The delegates
who were in their seats gathered in
little groups, and a hum of conver-
sation swept the hall. The band
was anxious to please and drifted
from Moonlight Bay to Won
Suppe's overture from William Tell.
Scattered handclapping greeted
Chairman Parker as he made his
way up the middle aisle through
the groups of delegates.
Heat Has Its Effect.
The heat soon began to have its
effect and delegates and spectators
stripped off their coats and rolled
up their sleeves ready for the nights

MISS CLEVELAND IS CAPTIVATING
 LYRIC AUDIENCES

Miss CIeveland's dramatic powers have had another severe test this week in the role of Glory QuaIe, in Hall Gaines great masterpiece, "The Christian" and as heretofore she has risen to the occasion and portrayed the character in the most satisfactory way to her audiences, if the numer- ous curtain calls is to be considered a criterion. As Glory Quale she is a revelation-a little country maid daughter of a clergyman, unacquaint- ed with the wiles of the world, nursed and reared in poverty, enters London, ambitious. innocent, with the one de finite purpose of raising herself up to the position of equality in life with the man she loves, her struggles. temptations, adventures are met in the true type of the heroine. Her climaxes arc without flaw. Supported by Robert Conness as John Storm, an actor of unusual force and ability, and Cameron Clemens as Horatio Drake. who has delighted hundreds of Bridgeport audiences with his clever ness and a bevy of artists, all deserv- ing of mention, the play moves smoothly from start to finish, in a most pleasing and entertaining man ner. The Christian is a pay which depicts the flaws and gems of human nature and no one who witnesses the production can fail to appreciate the work of the master hand in literature and the conscientious effort of artists of ability in the decentralization, as given at the Lyric. If you haven't seen this play, plod through snow ankle deep if necessary to witness a worthy performance tonight or Satur- day matinee or night

 Irene, the Maiden Prophet" who says she is sixty-eight years old, de- clares it took her a solid year to write the book, which is an account of her trance visions, fn communion with the Holy Spirit"
 Among other interesting information Irene communicated to the Speak ker the formula for the long sought Elk fir of Life. It follows:
 Two ounces sugar of lead; three ounces of oil of camphor, one ounce of 'Muedlfced' silver; one ounce of caus- tic bromide of lasmein; thirty grains of chloride of gold; one quart of bo- water"
