The Prohibition "PrsgressiveS'
Seem to Be in CentrOI

Atlantic City, July 11.--Insurgency
in the national prohibition convention
here today succeeded in causing the
adjournment of the morning session
and poEtponing the election OF ma
tional chairman until afternoon when
he will be elected by the convention
itself.
The insurgent prohibition leaders to-
day decided to propose the name OF
w. G. Calderwood of Minneapolis, the
present secretary of the national COM
mittee for chairman to succeed Charles
r. Jones Of Chicago, while regulars
will stand by Jones for reelection.
As harmony" candidate, S. F. w.
Lough, chairman of the Indiana state
committee. it is reported, will receive
the insurgents support after the first
ballot. The resolutions committee
presented a platform. The platform
opens with denunciation OF the "alco-
hclic drink traffic" after which it en-
derses numerous other planks chief
among which are:
Direct election of United States
senator's; one presidential term of six
years; woman suffrage; protection of
the rights of labor; International arbi-
tration; Initiative and referendum; the
abolition of child labor; conservation

ENGLAND BLOCKS
The CANAL Bill

Washington, jury 11.-Great Brit
aims request that the enactment Of
the Panama canal administration bill
be held In allegiance until Innes, the
British charge, can present note in
behalf of his government, is likely to
have little effect in delaying the pass
age of the canal bill according to lead
ing members of the senate.
1t is declared there will be no back
ing down by the senate from the po-
sition in favor of the free passage
of American ships. While the reasons
for the request for the day are not
stated, there is no doubt that the
British government Is concerned over
the clause to grant free passage
through the canal to American vessels
in the coastwise trade and that relat-
ing to the passage of railroad owned
ships.
Canadian railways are deeply con-
cerned in both and 1t is thought some
OF the representations will be made in
their behalf.
The canal bill has been regarded as
extremely urgent and Englands note
blocks the programme for it's expedi-
tion. Innes has been informed of this
and it is hoped this will have the ef-
feet Of Fastening the delivery OF the
note.

HOPE TO CATCH
VOTES FROM The
PROGRESSIVES

Milwaukee, July 11.--Wisconsin
democracy opened its doors to the
progressives OF the state today when
Hubert o. Wolf, temporary chairman

speech extended TO the Lafollette fol-
lowers an invitation to join them.
Loud cheering followed his direct ap-
peal to the progressive republicans.

only candidates for public ONCE who
were thoroughly progressive and stood
for radical changes In the Wisconsin
income tax. obtained much attention
from the sac delegates to the state
democratic convention here today. The
delegates were unanimous in their as
sertion that reactionaries were not de-
sirable to them. Candidates for gov
ern. lieutenant governor, secretary Of
state, state treasurer and attorney
general we're to be endorsed and q
platform drafted.
The delegates asserted the progress
sive ticket and platform would mean
success for the democratic party in
the state this fall. They pointed out
that with such attractions great gains
could be expected from the disgrun-
tied LaF'ollette followers.
Rumors have been current that cer-
tain democrats have been offering La
Toilette forces trades for votes, but
the party leaders denied this. The
democrats said they would nominate a
progressive ticket confident that many
of the senator's friends would follow
II without any offer of political spoils.
Judge John G. Karei and a. j.
Schmitz, both OF Milwaukee, were the
leading candidates for the guberna-
soriaI nomination before the conven-
stion opened.

the state. These appointments are
made by the county erantendents
OF schools and the different boards OF

Already forty-six appointments have
been made representing twenty coun-

of the close of the selection Of these
representatives the number will total
100. All the appointments will be
made by next week SO that those in
charge will know just who and how
many to expect.
The interest that is being taken in
the encanpment is well demonstrated
when 1t Is known that the county
commissioners Of Sargent county APP

their boys and to show their interest

All the boys throughout the state
are more than enthusiastic about this

Big Questions of Vital
Importance for the
Grand Lodge Sessions
Routine Matters at the Sessions Of the District Meeting This
Morning. Delegates and AternateS to the
Grand Lodge Named

kee. This head lodge Is composed OF
forty-six persons, Of which twenty
seven are from the district No.
with one delegate at large and eleven
are from district No. 2 which is
sometimes known as the Pacific coast
district, and of which Hans Bugge of
Billingame, Wash, is the district
president and he is also treasurer Of
the head lodge. The Pacific coast dis
trict has about one-third the member
ship of the entire head lodge, the dis
trict No. having the other. The bal
ance OF the forty-six members Of the
head lodge are made up of officers of
the same.
Many Important Matters.
The head camp will have large
number OF very important matters to
discuss, and one of them will be the
work of adjusting the differences that
have existed between districts NOS 1
and 2, and it is believed that this can
easily be done. The presiding officer
is the Norwegian consul at Minneapo-
Ifs and one of the best known Of that
race in the United States. The first
order Of business will be to listen to
short address by the president, fol-
lowed by the reading Of the minutes
Of the last session two years ago, the
calling of the roll of delegates and the
ing reports Of the different officers
and committees.
New Articles of incorporation.
There are many subjects to come
up, that If passed, will necessitate the
issuing of new articles of incorpora-
tion. One Of these will be the uues-
tion Of admitting women into the or
der, the idea being to consolidate the
Sons and Daughters Of Norway. An
other subject will cause much dis
cussion and that is the question of
the admittance of men who are mar
ried TO Norwegian women. The idea
Of this is to determine whether or not
the Sons Of Norway as an order is
desirous of broadening it's field Of ac-
ton, or to remain exclusively a Nor
wegian institution.
Trip 10 Norway.
The committee which has in charge
the proposed trip over to Norway In
the spring Of 1914 will also make its
report. This committee is to make
arrangements for chartering a boat
for two years from now to have an
exclusively Sons of Norway party to
pay a visit to the mother country, the
occasion being the celebration May
IL of the 20Oth anniversary OF the in
dependence of the country. Already
money is being paid into fund hav-
ing that object in view and reports
along these lines are to be made.
There are many more minor matters
to come up that will be of interest to
the members of the order alone. The
head lodge will adjourn at noon to-
morrow to take part in the various
events connected with Rollo day and
the grand officers will all likely take
part in the parade and have seats on
the reviewing stand. 1t will recon
Yene for business.
