Second Day.

When the convention met on Wednes-
day Governor Hadley renewed his mo-
tion to unseat the contested dele
gates. Another test of strength came
when Watson of Indiana moved to re-
fer the motion to the credentials
committee.
Governor Deneen moved to amend
so as to provide that no contested
delegate should vote on the member
ship of the committee on credentials
or on its report.
Mr.. Watson moved to table the mo-
ton of Governor Deneen.
Motion carried by vote of 564 to
$40. This was a defeat for the Roose-
Velt forces.

1t was a wonderful convention,
convention that suggested in its sol

what must have been the spirit of the
men, who met under the Jackson oaks
fifty-six years ago to found the Re-
publican party in defense of the rights
of man.
1t was made up of the Roosevelt
delegates, and as many of the people
here as could get into the hall, which
seats about three thousand. The men
who made up the audience were in
dead earnest. They were there for

Within twenty-four hours a call is
to be made for an Illinois convention
of Roosevelt supporters, at which
state organization will be formed.
Medill Mccormick of Chicago said
calls in other states would be issued
in rapid succession and that within
a few weeks the Progressive party
would be organized in every section
Of the country.
The method of operation in the vari-
Gus states is still to be decided upon.

ERO Bell Telephone 0 Bulletins
1.-THE SUBSCRIBERS IMPORTANT PART

The subscriber plays an lmpor- tant part in the business of giving telephone service. If the tele- phone is not used properly, II the subscriber believes he cannot se- cure good service under any cir cumstances and if proper consid- eration is not shown the operator, our difficulties are greatly in- creased. Fortunately for us, there are very few subscribers of that kind in this city. Most of our sub scribers are cooperating with us in our efforts to give quick and accurate service.
 In order to secure efficient ser vice at all times several things are necessary on the part of the sub scriber. When your telephone bell rings the call should be an swered promptly, otherwise the calling party may grow impatient and leave the telephone and you will think the operator has rung your telephone without necessity. Then the receiver should not be

 In calling number you should speak distinctly and where there is a prefix or letter in the mum Der you should also repeat these to the operator.
 If you are calling in haste we ask you to note the time and not feel that seconds are minutes and that we are neglecting your tele- phone.
 If you let your neighbors and friends use your telephone lndls- criminately your station is likely to be reported busy when you are not personally using it. When your telephone is in use, by you or by a non-subscriber, no one canj call you, the busy report being given to calling parties. These are small matters, but they are im- portant to us and to you.
