SECOND PROGRAM OF
WELCH-FRANCIS COMPANY

While not as pleasing to the big
audience present last night, as was
the first bill presented by the WEIGH
Francis company, the show at the
Grand last night was away above the
average shows that visit the Grand
during the popular price season. The
first part of the show was in the form
of minstrel and while good it was
not just what the crowd expected after
seeing that grand musical comedy on
Monday and Tuesday night. The var
ious members of the company We're
given an opportunity last night to show
their. voices and the songs were excep-
tionaly well rendered and the crowd
was lavish in its encores. The singing
|of Miss Leona Lucey was the feature
of last nights production. When she
sang MY Cavalier II seemed the aud
ience would never let her stop. She
also sang many other pretty songs.
Kitty Francis, who has become the
idol of the Grand patrons, did not ap-
pear in the Minstrel but appeared in
the second part, which was the shoe
store scene from the Midnight Sons"
While her part in this was altogether
to short to suit the crowd she was
given an ovation on her first appear
ance and pleased theN audience as she
did on the previous nights. The same
bill will be presented tonight and
there will be a change of program
again tomorrow night.

BRYAN VICTORY
YET PREDICTED.
Wilson Supporters Greatly Encorased
BY Wednesday Nights Victory in
Defeat of Unit Rule.

Baltimore, June 27 - For the first
time since the democratic national con-
vention opened every seat in the arm
ory building was filled. The heat was
oppressive. Mrs. William H. Taft,
wife of President Taft, occupied a box
near the stage and was the subject OF
considerable attention.
1t is predicted by many of the lead
ers that many ballots will be required
to determine the result, extending ihe
session well into the night. The VIII
son forces entered the fight with added
confidence. Much Importance is at
tached to the report that Bryan might
throw his chips into the Wilson bas-
ket. The pending business today was
the report of the credentials commit
tee. Permanent Chairman Ollie James,
of Kentucky, was inducted into Office
and the roll completed. The nomina-
tions will be next in order and flood
of eloquence in the nominating
speeches Is expected.
The Wilson supporters encouraged
by the tentative Wilson-Bryan vic
tory in the defeat of the unit rule, last
night, are claiming that the New Jer-
sey governor will sweep the conven-
tioD and receive the nomination There
lis much talk of Bryan as the nominee.
Some of the so-called conservatives
are saying that SO long as the nomina-
tion of progressive is inevitable, that
progressive might as well be Bryan,
who has borne the brunt of the pro-
gresive movement since 1896. Bryan's
! friends say the Nebraskan is content
with his present advantage, his right
to be the candidate being all but con
ceded to him. The supporters of
Champ Clark are still confident
In statement today Mr. Bryan
said the platform would be essentially
a progressive document, especial stress
being laid on the plank for tariff re-
vision, will declare for tariff for rev.
enue only. 1t will condemn the atti-
tude of President Taft and the republi-
can party is charged with breach Of
faith in failing to keep the campaign
promises of four years ago. The plat
form endorses the referendum and re-
call as progressive measures, but the
carrying out of these plans of govern
ment will be relegated to the party in
the various states. The income tax
lis strongly indorsed as is the direct
election Of United States senators. It
lis expected that a plank for the pref
erential primary will be included.

Beeler, republican attache of the state
board of affairs, and Bert Chandler of

tofore for chairmen of the parties to
file with the board full list of elec-
tors named by the state conventions.
But there being division on the re

not announced what the rule will be

wavering in their forces. At the same
time they went to the convention hall
last night with the expressed purpose
of forcing the issue at the earliest pos,
sible opportunity. The opposition
forces, hearing of this plan, prepared
to block it. They did not wish the
nominations to be made until tomor-
row, hoping the situation might clear
a little by that time.
The Wilson adherents claimed their
candidate had made distinct gains dur
ing the day. They asserted, without
giving details, that some of the Clark
sentiment was turning toward the New
Jersey governor and were in a more
hopeful mood than at any time during
1.-THE convention period.
Ozark horses" were being discussed
everywhere, but there appeared to be
some difficulty in crystallizing senti-
ment as to which one was darkest.
Senator John W. Kern of Indiana,
Mr. Bryan's choice for temporary
chairman, and chairman of the COM
mittee drawing the party platform,
still appeared to hold the lead among
the dark horses" The coalition of
the Bryan and Wilson forces in the
first fight of the convention, however,
led to talk of the Bryan strength ulti-
mately going to Wilson. The one out
standing fact seemed to be the abso-
lutte impossibility of any candidate hav-
ing sufficient number of votes on the
first ballot to nominate. The two
thirds rule prevailing in democratic
conventions always makes the picking
of a candidate IN advance a difficult
problem
After the first ballot it remains to
be seen how we'll the Clark managers
can hold their vote together. Some
predicted last night that the voting
would run through large number oi
fballots, While others declared tht
break would come quickly and {
nomination be made on the second oi
third call of the roll.

MEETING CALLED
. FOR NEXT TUESDAY
Will Make an Attempt to Have Idle
Land Planted to Late Feed
Crop.

At a meeting of seventeen OF the
business men of the city at the Com
mercial Club rooms this morning it
was decided to call a meeting Of the
business men of the towns around VII
nita and of the farmers of this section
for the purpose of interesting the far
mers in planting late feed crops, OF
kaffir corn, sorghum or some similar
feed crop. Any of these crops will
mature in this climate if planted on
or before July 10, and an effort will
be made to get every farmer to plant
a few acres in some good feed crop.
All of the wheat and oat fields could
be made to yield good crop.
The meeting was called for next
Tuesday, at which the special party OF
lecturers sent out by the NJ. K. & I,
railway will be here This party will
arrive from Durant early Tuesday
morning and will remain here all day
They are prepared to give any desired
information on the growing of these
feed crops. Get behind this movement

BRYAN PLEASED WITH
PROGRESS Of CONVENTION

Baltimore, Md, June 27.-Wm. ].
Bryan returned to his hotel last night
from the resolutions committee meet
ing, where he had spent the evening,
was given a big demonstration by the
delegates gathered there. Several of
his friends warmly congratulated him
on the vote in the convention over
turning the unit rule.
Mr. Bryan said.
Il was not even in the convention,
but l am very much pleased of course,
over the vote. | will not attempt to
predict what the effect will be on the
nominating vote tomorrow. The con-
vention has taken this stand for the
right principle, for | do not believe
any convention has the right to over
rule state law"

Creek county was the brother-in-law
of Bates B. Burnett the guardian Of
the large estate of which that court
had jurisdiction and who must approve
or disapprove his reports and allow or
disallow the expenditures made by him
as guardian.
It was further set out that Bates

WILSON FORCES VICTORIOUS
IN DEFEATING Unit RULE

Baltimore, June 27.- The progress
sives in the national convention claim
ed a notable victory last night when
they carried a motion abrogating the
rule by which some state delegations
We're bound to cast their votes as a
unit.
The fight for and against the unit
rule was waged particularly about the
state of Ohio, where eighteen district
delegates had been instructed by pri-
maries to vote for Woodrow Wilson,
but where the state convention, con-
trolled by the Harmon forces, had in
yoked the unit rule, binding all Ohio
delefates to the Ohio governor
The convention, by vote of 56512
to 1919, voted that no state delega.
ton should be bound by unit control
except in such cases where state law
was mandatory on the subject.
Wilson supporters in the convention,
who earlier in the evening had carried
on a demonstration lasting thirty-three
minutes, regarded the vote as distinct.
ly favoring their candidate. The vii.
son boom had been growing through
out the day.
Wilson gained and Harmon lost
eighteen votes from the Ohio delega
ton as a result of the fight 1t was
said the abrogation of the rule might
lead to breaks in other delegations
and this left the presidential nomina
ton race last night in greater doubt
than ever.
New York's solid block of ninety
votes was cast in favor of continuing
the unit rule amid Kisses and groans
Missouri, the home state of ChamI
Clark, split, 20 to Z, in favor of the
unit rule, and this result also was re
lceiyed with groans. When Nebraska
and Kansas voted solidly for the abro
cation of the unit rule there wer,
cheers from the Wilson forces. Penn
sylvania, a Wilson state, gave a BIZ
majority for abrogation.
There had been reports during tn,
day of growing sentiment in the New
York delegation in favor of Governo
Wilson. The delegation voted unde
the unit rule last night in casting it
ballot against the proposition fostere'
lby the New Jersey governors sup
porters. The fight over the unit rul
Icarried the evening session well aloni
toward midnight. The report from tn
committee on credentials then was re
Iceived. AS there was minority re
Iport, requiring discussion, an adjourn
ment was decided on until noon tc
morrow
| With nominations due today, the sit
uation with respect to a presidentia
candidate was as uncertain last nigh
as at any time since the delegates be
lgan to pour into Baltimore.
| There was much talk of subsidenc
