lived near Dunlap. Last Friday as
Fred Randall, who was walking across
the same pasture, found the watch

was to wind the watch and start it
going. 1t is apparently in good run

RoossveLT-WILsoN PARTY
Scheme Not Much Thought Of BY
New Jersey Mans Supporters

As the hour for formal resump-
ton Of the convention sessions drew
near yesterday morning, there was
increased discussion OF just what
action would be taken by the Roose-
Welt forces during the day Repeat
ed efforts we're made to get from Col
Roosevelt the details of his further
plans. but without immediate avail.
Many were inclined to think that the
plan of passive resistance mapped
out by the Roosevelt managers would
be discarded before it had been pla-
ced in fair working order. Accord
ing to this plan. the Roosevelt dele
gates we're not TO vote on motions
connected with the work and organi-
cation of the convention, but we're
to place Col Roosevelt's name in no
mination.
Also If a candidate is nominated
with the votes OF the alleged fraud
ulent' delegates it was announced
that the Roosevelt forces would call
a convention in Chicago for the first
week in August TO which all progress
siyes will be invited and at when II
is expected Col. Roosevelt will be
nominated for the presidency. Ac'
cording to one of the progressive pa
pers. Woodrow Wilson would be sci
ected as Col Rooseyelts running
mate.
No one could be found yesterday
among the various democratic cam
pagn managers at Baltimore who
was ready TO treat seriously the sug
gestion that any Of the leading dem
ocratic progressives would be willing
to accept second place on a possible
third ticket headed by THEODORE
Roosevelt The Wilson men smiled
when they read a Chicago dispatch
to the effect that the New Jersey gov
ernor. on account of his progressive
tendencies, was being considered by
the Roosevelt forces in this connec
ton
One of Wilson's national campaign
managers remarked The governor
will accept only one nomination ant
that Is the democratic candidacy FOL
president He has let IL be know
emphatically that he will not be 1
candidate for vice president on th'
democratic ticket, therefore II is alb
surd to suppose that he would &C

4 HOPEFUL SIGN AT BALTIMORE
viii II Be Possible to Suppress the
Convention Noise-Makers?

Those who are making the prelim
mary arrangements for the Baltimore
convention announce that there will
be no packing of the galleries with
shouters for candidates. If they can
carry out this purpose it will be a
very excellent thing, but it will be
something rather new in national con
ventions.
Provision is always m lde for thou.
sands of spectators at national con
ventions. The halls in which they
sit are regarded as inadequate unless
they can accommodate from 10000 to
1000 persons. A great spectacle is
afforded which everybody wants to
see In such a vast crowd and under
the conditions which exist, there will
always be found enough friends OF
almost any candidate to maintain a
reasonable degree of enthusiasm in
his behalf. The outbreaks and dem
onstrations of paid shouters-when
there are such--are a disturbance OF
the orderly proceedings and delibera-
tions of the convention.
Such demonstrations do not help
candidate National conventions
are usually constituted by men who
are not to be stampeded by gallery
demonstrations Such efforts have
been made in many conventions In
the past, but it would be difficult to
relate single instance in which it
has really accomplished the result in
tended. Those who have attended
national conventions have seen hours
Of shouting and cheering follow the
mention of some candidates name;
when the galleries went wild with eX-
element and apparent enthusiasm,
until those who did not fully under
stand such things were easily deceiv-
ed into the belief that there was only
one candidate the people were clam
oring for and the only one that ought
to he nominated
these things do not affect the del
egates but they do interfere with the
deliberations of the convention and
interrupt and prolong the proceed
ings. When the outburst is over the
delegates turn to their work as If
nothing OF the kind had occurred. In
all the experience of nationa! conyen-
lions there is no well defined case Of
stampede under such circumstances.
It is not easy to rattle the usually

II is n years since William Marsh
Rice a native OF Massachusetts
though long time resident of Hous
ton. Tex, made known his purpose
to establish in that city an institute
of liberal and technical learning. His
lift during his lifetime and increas-
ed by bequest now amounts to up
ward OF $lO.0O0000. which is never
TO be encroached upon even for
building purposes. The income will
be easily half million dollars a
year and the scholastic and scientific
work attempted will be such as to
enable It to have the means for lead
ing the world in that WHICH u under
takes
The great Southwest, from St
Louis southwark to the gulf and west
ward to the Sierras. is a vast region
whose resources and possibilities will
scarcely be known for half cen
fury. Here will be people whose
opportunity, responsibility. and ne
cessity will be unlike those OF any
other people on the globe. Here is
a demand for an industrial, commerci
al, scientific and patriotic mission
such as has not been afforded any
other institution in the new world.
Fortunate, indeed, were the trus
tees In the early selection OF Edgar
Odell Lovett, then professor at
Princeton, as counselor and leade
In their noble aspiration to fulfil such
a mission.
In early October the Rice institute
will, at its opening, give the world
its first message, and IL is safe to
say that II will be adequate. For the
first time an American scholastic In
stitution will be fully international

and art From the world will be gai
hered eminent scholars who have
justified their eminence by their
achievement, in thought or deed, OF
something really important to the
world.
Each participant In these inaugural
exercises will prepare three epoch
making addresses for the inaugural
volume. which will be issued In honor
OF the occasion. though only one OF
the three will be publicly delivered
This volume will be the first of a
series to be issued from time to tim,
when the institute brings to this
country men with new messages
While the faculty is not announced
as yet II is safe to say that the Rice
institute will always have for sem
ester some one of the worlds great

tinually a great message from aom,

Beginning in October. the Rice in
stitute will look outward forward
