Chicago. June 20.-Roosevelt MEM
bers Of the credentials committee
agreed in a conference at noon to push
only their California, Texas and Wash
ington contest cases. forty-eight dele
gates in all. They declared these were
the most important cases. The agree
ment was made In the hope Of shorten
ing the committees session.
The total number Of contests involved
In the Hadley resolution was seventy
two, and included also twenty-five
delegates from Arkansas. Indiana, Ken
lucky, Michigan and Tennessee.
The prospect OF holding the conven-
ton idle for several days while these
were considered induced the Roosevelt
men to agree to abandon the last group
and center their fight on the others
Mr.. Hafbert stated that seven or
eight Roosevelt men had agreed to the
plan and that 1t would be formally
presented to the convention.

CIRCUS COMING.
John H Sparks World Famous
Shows Heading this Way.

On Wednesday Mr. F M Heaton.
general advance representative for
the Sparks shows, was in town max
ing contracts and paving the way
for the coming of the big circus.
Immense quantities of provisions of
all kinds were contracted for from
our local merchants, and the
grounds known as SCOTS field was
leased for Saturday. November l6,
which is the date the big show is to
exhibit here.
From now until show day hardly
a day will pass but that one or
more agents of the circus will be in
town looking after details, promot-
ing public interest and thoroughly
advertising the surrounding coun-
try. This circus employs over 30
people in the department of public
ity altne.
Mr. Heaton, who is very genial
gentleman, volunteered the infor-
nation that Saturday, November
16, the date the circus is here, hap
pens to fall on the regular weekly
salary day of the show, and that the
800 and over employees with the
show would be paid the aggrega
sum of S6,000-a tidy little bunch
of money to be turned loose in our
midst.
Mr. Heaton has in his possession
many newspaper criticisms of the
show and they all speak in glowing
terms of the excellent entertainment
given and the honorable methods
employed by the show management
in doing business with the public
no gambling or short change artists
being allowed among its employees.
Our people will undoubtedly turn
out en- masse if the weather is at all
favorable.
