Ex-Gov. Beckham is not to have

Great Britain has submitted an
other protest TO the United States

OF our treaty with the British Govern
ment. Arbitration of the dispute IS
proposed. The American press is lar

LITTLE PROGRESS TOWARD
PEACE
Turkey backed down in her threat
that negotiations would be broken
as reported last week. If the Greek
delegates did not withdraw from the
conference, and the conferences were
resumed. Now the Turkish delegat,
are making another demand, which
is practically sure OF rejection-that
they be allowed to revictual their be-
sieged garrisons.
The little progress that is being
made toward definite peace agree
ment gives rise TO the suspicion that
the Turks are dallying for time ly
presenting one impossible problem af-
ter another.
Reports come from Bulgaria that
the allies can easily prolong the war
for six months. and that they are not
greatly averse to doing 80. Their
plan of operations would possibly be
to await the attack of the Turks

feated all of the Republican candi-
dates.
1T is reasonably certain that the
Progressive party will never get many
recruits from the Democratic party
nor can it hope to ever get more than
half of the Republican party. Person
ally, 1 don't believe that it will get
any where near that much. Kansas IS
a child of the Republican party and
the thousands of soldiers and their
sons and daughters love it for the
good it has done humanity. They
have faith in it's future usefulness and
they cherish its magic name. They
propose to stay with it and If for any
reason it is ever wiped off the map,
they will visit their wrath and votes
against the party and politicians who
caused it's death. Many of the SOL
dierS, like other men, in Kansas are
Progressive Republicans but not third
party Progressives.
Kansas Progressive as ProgressiveS.
During the heat of the campaign pom
derous arguments were made by political
speakers and newspapers about the differ
greSSive parties. AS matter OF fact so
far as Kansas is concerned about the
only difference is that of the recall of
judicial decisions. / realize that those
patriots weeping in behalf OF the
Cause well as those SObbing for Con-

voice declare that a person who makes
such an assertion is not big enough men
tally to comprehend the magnitude of
thier respective programs for the upltft

take a very brainy man to recognize a
political scheme when he meets y in the

BALTIMORE, Nd, June 14.-"Real
business" was the motto hung up to-
day when Norman e. Mack, chairman
of the democratic national committee,
took active charge of the preparations
for the democratic national conven-
tion.
Mack held conference with Con-
gressman Talbot; Chairman Grain
of the local convention committee,
National Committeeman Sullivan and
Wood, Sergeant-at-arms Martin, Secre.
tary Woodson and several others.
Mack said that the two-thirds rule
will not be taken up at this conven'
ton unless it is brought up in refer
ence to the rules at the 1915 conven
ton. But he believes it will not be
brought up at all.
There has been no protest against
the unit rule in Ohio, according tc
Mack. He said that any such protest
will have to come before the commfe
tee before it goes before the conven
ton and so far it has not been filed

he has been unable to get anyone that
fills the bill.
Senator Cummins was the Taft
choice, but the Iowa solon has posi-
lively refused to even consider the
suggestion and up to date no other as
pirant has been discovered.
Fer tho nomination as the running
mate of Colonel Roosevelt, the popu.
lar choices are Governor Hadley OF
Missouri, and Governor Johnson, OF
California. Hadley would like the
nomination Johnson has said that
he prefers to remain in his present
position. But either would take the
nomination and whichever was finally
decided on would perfectly satisfy
Roosevelt, who says that he wants h
rough and tumble campaigncr, realiz-
ing that If he is finally nominated he
will face the most bitter conflict IN
the history of the presidency.
A dozen other progressives are
sporting handmade booms for the
nomination, but up to the present
their chances have not been consid-
ered seriously.
