ltDDrS CONVENTION
10 Be HELD AUGUST 5

New York, July IA call to
the people of the United States who
are In sympathy with the "national
progressive movement" to send del
egates TO national convention to
open in Chicago August 5 was
given out this afternoon by United
states Senator Joseph NJ, Dixon of
Montana, Theodore Roosevelt's
campaign manager, The call is
signed by members Of the commit
Tee chosen at a meeting held in
Chicago and also includes signatures
of Roosevelt followers in forty
states.
"The territories have no place in
a national convention and will not
be considered" declared Senator
Dixon in commenting upon the
signatures. Gas for the missing
eight states, the most of them
probably will send delegates, al
though they have not taken part in
the call.
"Maine, for instance, postponed
any definite action, because there is
now strong fight on in the prima-
ries with the sympathy running in
favor of the progressive movement.
Delaware, North Carolina, Ark
ansas and Nevada probably will
take part in the convention. Mis-
sissippl and South Carolina may
possibly be unrepresented.

came from Tennessee to Randolph
county Just across the present Clay
county line in 1865. Mrs. Odom's

The withdrawal of A. J. Weaver
of Maynard from the stand-pat
Republicans and his declaration to
go with the Progresslves has been
the subject of much comment among
local politicians this week. That
the party was hopelessly split in
Randolph county was very evident,
and now that Weaver, one of the
strongest men in the party, has left
it, the people are not expecting that
much harmony will prevail in the
party here, especially as concerns
national affairs.

We are in receipt of copy of the
News-C Chronicle, published at
Benkelman, Neb., by E. j..
Fitzgerald. Citizens of Pocahontas
will probably remember Mr.. Fitz-
gerald as foreman of the Randolph
Herald in Pocahontas about ten
years ago. The News Chronicle
reflects the fact that "Fitz" has
not retrograded in the art preserva
tive since he left here.

HOLMES

There are being many battles
fought in the cotton fields between
the inhabitants of the fields and the
skillful laborers. The tollers are
gaining the victory in most cases.
One advantage our boys have over
the boys in the hills is that the hill
boys have to go to the creek to
bathe, while our boys take their
baths in the cornheld while at
work.
H. Parks corn crop, which be
has worked exclusively In keeping
with the governments instruc
tions, is a great improvement on
crops on that farm.
School begins the 18th. We are
expecting the best summer school in
the history of Holmes. We are
fortunate to have Mr.. Prevett for
principal and Miss Ora Park fol
assistant.
Mrs. Tom Wilson is recovering
