A number of the most prominent business men in the city ali or whom are ardent football fans, held a con- ference yesterday to complete ar- rangements for the special train over the Iron Mountain to transport the Pine Bluff High School football squad and local fans to Conway next Sat urday for the game between Pine Bluff and Van Buren, for the second- ary championship of the state.
 The railroads demand that 15O fares Ee guaranteed was complied with and the committee will make d canvass of the city today to ascertain how many desire to go. Those who are not seen by the committee and who desire to go are requested to call at the Graphic office or the office of r. R. and E. E. Bloom, in the Citizens Bank building, and deposit the amount of the railroad fare. reduce ed rate will be in effect and the fare will be about $3 for the round trip.
 At least 90 business men, accom- panied by wives or daughter have announced their intention of making the trip, and these with large num- Der of students will bring the num- Der up 10 the required 150.
 The committeeman urge that all desiring to go hand in their names as soon as possible as the amount of 15O fares must be in the hands of the local agent for the Iron Mountain by Friday in order to get the special coaches to be sent from Little Rock, ill Pine Bluff before Saturday morn ing
 The train vii leave about 8:30. o'clock Saturday morning, arriving at Conway about II, and returning will leave Conway immediately after the game and arrive here about 3 or 10' o'clock.
 Those business men who agreed to wipe out the deficit incurred by bringing the El Dorado team to Pine Bluff last Saturday will be called on today. The deficit was in the neigh borhood of $S0, but as about 40 pledg-. ed to help tear this expense, equally apportioned it will bear lightly on the individual.
 Coach Bassett gave the men light work yesterday and every member of the squad is in good condition. The coach says he will exercise every care to prevent his men going stale and he expects them to be in better condition next Saturday than ever before this season.

BULL MOOSE HAVE FAMILY GATHERING The Colonel Says Taft Got What Was His Just
 Deserts.
' OR NO A LLTANC CES
Roosevelt Urges Members 70 S;auu Ky its Platform and All Should
 Contribute to Support.

Chicago, Dec. 11-Bull Moosers whc desire to dance for the nexr foul years must pay the fiddler themselves George w. Perkins, William Flynn and Pinchot brothers W Il be permit ted to subscribe as much as they please, but other members will have 10 subscribe also, all of them, That Colonel Roosevelt himself told his Moose followers. That is the plan of organization and maintainance that is to be worked out by the na- tional comm ttee of the Bull Moose.
 Further, in the course of the days doings at the conference, Colonel Roosevelt was rcnomin5ted as the par ty candidate for president in 1916. He let the Moos6rs know that they need not worry about the leadership of the party. That will be attended to when the occasion arises, he said.
 It Was a big fam ly party that the Moosers' had for the round l,200 of them packed into the hall room at the La Sale Hotel, over which Chairman Joseph NJ. Dixon, of the National Bull Moose Commlttee, presided. The big events of the day were Colonel Roose- velt's speeches, telling the members what the program of the future is to be, and amplific!at ons on money rais- ing, and addresses by Miss Jane Ad- dams and several others
 The Colonel naturally had his say first and the first thing was a sort of oratorical ted um over the defeat of the Republican party and jubil@nt because MT. Taft got what was com- ing to him for his ''solen nomina- on"
 T believe,'' said the Colonel, that political parties should be controlled and paid fer by the actual men and women who vote i'll elections. l am willing that the party should take the large campaign contributions If hon. estly offered, without conditions or reservations. re The real test of suchI gifts is the motive and not the slze The broader however, we make out duty snd paying membership the bet ter is for the Progressive party and for political morality in general
 Next the Colonel insisted that the party stand by it's platform and make no alliances, even down to county supervisor. but he did say that Pro gressivs measures offered by others might be supported.
