, opposition to convention because posed to chastise would control and manage such convention and then be expected to reform themselves. Former Governor Hadley, of Missouri, was the spokesman for those insisting on a convention, but when Borah found himself in the minority he sub scribed to the convention call on the theory that he was choosing the les ser of the two evils.
 It was Borah who demand that the state organization of each state ill which delegates are still chosen by the convention system, be judges of the delegates to be elected. This pro- viso was not written into the declara tion of principles because the major ity believed that the less said and done to "rile" the standpat bosses the better the chance of hearing the con- vention called when the national committee meets in Washington May 24.
 The most persistent demand was that no steam roller be permitted to unseat delegates elected by the people ill the primaries. And any future Re- publican convention which includes Cummins, Hadley, Borah, Kenyon and the rest of the Progressive element, will base it's southern representation on the number of Republican voters in each district, rather than on the general population of the number of postmasters.

Progressives Close Chicago Confab By Telling Bosses
 What They Want.
ISSUE A CHALLENGE
Go On Record Against the Steam Roller and Would Reform
 Representation.

Chicago, May 12.--The Progressive Republicans band of hope conclud- ed their three days of scheming to rejuVenate the G. 0. F. machine by is- Committee for a convention to reform the rule and procedure of the party and then dared the National Commit tee to refuse.
 The rejuvenators refrained from reading the f}arnes-Penrose-C Crane contingent out of the party because they expect that contingent to off ciate at their joint funeral, but they did pull the fire out of the steam roller and prepared to give the party back to the people.
 The demand was made in polite party council according to party strength. It is proposed that when the people elect delegates to the na- tional convention and primary cleo tions those delegates shall be seated. Tn most drastic proposition from the standpat point of view was that the party organization of each state shall be the judge of it's representation when delegates are not chosen at primaries.
 The challenge was delivered after a formal statement of demands was made public.

Lawn Tennis
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of AT Good Old Sivyash.o

T AVN tennis. which is once more be-
ginning TO infest this country
after a disappearance of many
years, is a dainty game, in which two
or four men, who are strong enough to
spend their time in organizing a new
trust, kill a bright afternoon by batting
a harmless ball across a net.
The men do this with the aid of
racuuets and duck pants. A racquet is
a wooden hoop with a handle on the end
and strung with gut Duck pants are
corruption of the ordinary trousers,
which are white for 10 seconds after
use. They serve to register the number
of times their owner falls down on the
soft green grass while trying to reach
ball II feet away.
Lawn tennis Is a very foolish game,
because at the end of a hard afternoon,
the ball Is Just where it was in the be-
ginning. and nothing has changed but
the white duck pants. When a strong
farmer. with barnacles on his neck and
wrists Ike the ankles of a Missouri
mule watches a few city dudes chasing
a fuzzy ball with enlarged fly swatteTs
and shouting Glove all -'lOve-fifteen'
