A@Se, rallied to s1.0S% and fell back to
An upturn followed owing to statement

ing to cover alone the happenings at
the hotels and also at the Coliseum, the
task was impossible. Correspondents
were held in the crowds at the doors
ar hour or more while ticking tele-
graph instruments waited inside.
The delegations began struggling in
about 1880, the crowds at the doors
forcing them to enter singly.
The band began playing at IL O'Clock
and continued until the gave1 fell. The
music was varied by woman singer
who was applauded
Scarcely any notice was taken of the
arrival of Chairman Root who stood
for a moment the target of a battery of
photographers. The gavel fell a few
minutes after noon and the Rev. Dean
Walter Sumner of the Cathedral of st.
Peter and Paul offered prayer.
There was applause at the concla-
sion of the prayer.
Floor Leader Watson, of the Taft
forces, obtained recognition Immediate
II. He explained that the credentials
committee was not ready to report and
moved that recess be taken until
four O'Clock. The motion prevailed
without objection and the thousands
who still were perspiring from thes ex-
ertion required to get in began to
scramble to get out.
Five doorkeepers alleged to have admit
ted nearly 1000 persons without tickets
yesterday were discharged by Sergeant
tnized so carefully that hours were re-
quired to admit those entitled to seats.
Delegates and party leaders shared the
discomfort OF ordinary guests.

ROOSEVELT MEN ABSENT.
Not One Is Found Among the Platform
Makers

Chicago, June 3o.-The subcommittee of
the committee on resolutions met today
the platform as If nothing had happened.
There was a noticeable absence of pro
gressives." OF the three Roosevelt mem
bers none was present and it was not ex-
pected that any of them except Governor
Hadley of Missouri, would appear. Both
Mr.. Rowell of California and Mr.. Lewis
of Pennsylvania were understood to have
cast their lots with Col Roosevelt Gov
the minds of his colleagues that only
other important bushes would be al
lowed to keep him away.
Owing to last nights hasty adjournment
the subordinate organization found it
necessary to begin at the foundation. 1t
had before it the drafts of the three plat
forms submitted by the Taft, Roosevelt
and LaFOl1ette leaders, respectively, and
give careful attention to the recommen-
dalton of all of them with the intention
of cutting such portions as might not
commend themselves to their judgment.
When the subordinate body completes its
labors, the full committee will be called
in and after it passes upon the work pre-
pared for it report will be made to the
convention.
The Illinois, Maryland and Nebraska
members of the full platform committee
dropped in to say that though they be-
1onged to Roosevelt delegations they
had no thought of ceasing their work
in the committee. They were asked to
sit with the subcommittee and accepted
the invitation.
Governor Hadley also appeared
toward the close of the session, saying
other engagements had prevented his
participation in the morning work
Many of the planks of the proposed
platform received attention and severed
of them were put in final shape for the

the release of delegates said he would
issue statement later, probably Civ
ing new instructions to his loyal fol-
lowers" 1t was then the hope of the
Roosevelt conservatives that the con-
vention, when it met at noon, would
recess until p. This would give
them a breathing spell and an oppor-
tunity to assemble their plainly broken
forces.
Talk or Compromise.
Roosevelt followers in nearly all
state delegations were busy with COM
premise candidate talk. The most of
the New York delegation We're in con-
ference until a. m. and it was said
Ltttauer, a Roosevelt man, had helped
to launch a boom for Justice Hughes.
The Roosevelt conservatives were
fearful as to how the Taft people might
receive the compromise proposition;
with the Roosevelt movement appar-
emily crumbling it was believed the
Taft men would stiffen- up. There was
talk that the Taft people, satisfied with
having defeated Roosevelt, would be
content with man who could bring
the factions together.
Francis ]. Heney, Roosevelt leader.
said the fight against the thieves"
would be continued in the convention
If the Colonel bolts will he be the pro-
sressive Republican nominee" was
asked. "Ah, cut out the Republican,
he said: what we want is a progress
SIVe party.
Col. Roosevelt will stay in the fight
to the end said Mr.. Post. He will
not withdraw under any circum-
stances. Roosevelt was debating II

when the announcement was made.
Governor Hadley was in secret confer
ence with him.
Taft Denies Report.
Washington, June 2O.-A report
from Chicago reached the White
House today saying President Taft
had authorized Senator Crane to re-
lease the Taft delegates to the ma
tional convention following Col. Roose-
welt action in releasing his.
Mr.. Taft Immediately denied the re-
port and after he had talked with Sen
ator Crane over the long distance phone
White House officials announced that
Senator Crane had denied having made
such statement
1t was said the presidents CONVERSE
ton with Crane had strengthened his
determine ton not to agree to any conf
promise.
Governor Hadley said the fight in the
re gular convention would go ahead.
They have got to purge that roll of
the crooked delegates today or there
will be no further treaty negotiations, -
was the declaration of Senator Dixon.
He was excited as he talked.
THE future of the party he de-
olared emphatfcally as he waved his
clenched fists, depends upon the in
tegrity of that convention today. We
will not stand for their steam roller
any longer"

1.-The nomination for president al
ready has been made. The American
people have named Theodore Roose-
welt and elected a majority Of more
than 100 delegates to this convention.
These delegates must be recognized C

leased his delegates is untrue" said
Senator Dixon.
mo such action has been taken.
Roosevelt could not release the dele
gates from the states in which the di-
rect primaries have been held if he
wanted to-
Former Governor Post, who was re-
sponsible for the statement that the
delegates had been released, said later
i'll the day he had been mistaken.
Hughes Is Mentioned.
Chicago, June 20.-With the split
between the Taft and Roosevelt forces
in the convention having at last
reached the point where a definite
threat to bolt had been made many
of the panic-stricken delegates turned
desperately to the task of stirring up
sentiment for a compromise candi-
date.
Justice Hughes of the supreme
court and Governor Hadley of Mis-
souri,, were the names under consid-
Grafton.
Practically all of the talk of a com
promise candidate comes from the
Roosevelt followers. There is evil
dence of a disintegration of the Roose-
welt forces. They appeared to be
fighting desperately.
The colonePs quarters were besieg-
ed by followers and delegates seek
ing advice. The conferences of last
night had convinced the Roosevelt
leaders that comparatively few of
their delegates would desert the Re-
publican party.
TT looks as though the bottom had
dronped out" declared a member of the
Roosevelt council.
Serious dissension exists in the Roose-
Welt camp. Many leaders are frank II
their declaration that the colonel has
acted too hastily in coming to Chicago
and precipitating a bolt from the Gre
dentials committee last night. 1t alSo
was said there was likely to be a ma
terial modification of the Roosevelt pro-
gram His, more conservative follow
ers swept from their feet in the surg
ing desire of the radicals last night to
bolt, seem to have the upper hand
again.

Any ambitious dog that starts out
to make Mrs. r. @. Callaghan run
has some job on bis hands.
Faithful Fido down on Mr. Cal
Iaghan' ! farm near Wanda found
this out last week. Mrs. CalIaghan
called at the farm to make reserya-
ton for plums. The renters we're
away from home but the children
were home.
They told Mrs. Callaghan to hit
the grit Or the dog would get busy.
She refused and sat down to await
the return Of the renters. Then
the merry hearted children tried to
set the dog on her. Fido did COM
siderable growing and swapping,
but didn't lay violent teeth upon
her.
After long willie Mr.. Callaghar
strolled up to the house and found
his wife marooned on the porch and
waiting. The children then tried t.
set the dog onhim but he converted
a maple Dough into a shillalah anc
the dog is now sorry he tried te
mind the kids.

Of that kind Of dope and try and fig
ure out how even a big man like E.
Bailey il going to rise to the occasion
and get the betterof those2l bushels
OF course he'll sell all he can but
what will he do with the fifteen 81
sixteen bushels that will be leftafter
the residents Of Redwood county
have eaten themselves black In the
face on green peppers?
To think that you were ordering
pippins, large, mellow apples. and
then be handed green peppers is
something to feel at least slightly
shocked about. That's what II.
Bailey had dealt out to him.
His eternal future depends upon
bis success In getting rid OF aforesaid
peppers.

Explain this: A cucumber three
inches in diameter in an unbroken
bottle with half-inch neck.
That's what may be seen at As. s.
Kenney's grocerystore.
Vinegar surrounds the cucumber
which is thus fast being converted
into a delectabIe pickle.
Yet no one will ever eat that pickle
unless some daring soul smashes the
bottle and defying the chance Of an
occasional stray bit ofglass goestoit.
