nominee for president. instead, the
structing that Mr. Parkcr's name be
placed on the ballot under the Bull
Moose emblem as Vice-presidcnt but
that the space reserved for the name
of the candidate for president be left
blank. The ten presidential electors
selected were uninstructed as to the
candidate for whom they shall vote
If elected.
Harmony marked the proceedings
of the convention, with the exception
of one incident, when a delegate as
serted he thought the convention
ought to make a specific declaration
for Mr.. Hughes. At the mention OF
Mr.. Hughes name shouts Of mo, no, "
and you're out of order" etc. came
from all parts Of the hall. The chair
man ruled the speaker out of order
and he sat down.
In the resolutions committee there
was sharp contest over a propose
resolution to ratify the national com
mittee's endorsement Of the kepub-
lican candidate. After much argu-
ment and persuasion the resolution
was tabled, because Of the effect II
might have upon local conditions af-
fecting the party" according to sew
ertl of the leaders.
A resolution was adopted reaffirm-
ing allegiance to the Progressive plat

CLEARING HOUSE
BREAKS RECORDS
Report Of Manager Roscoe
Adams Shows Best
Month in History.

In a report Of the work Of the
Tulsa Clearing House association for
the past month Manager Roscoe
Adams Of the association shows that
during the period just brought to a
close, the clearings have reached the
high record of Tulsa's history with
clearing Of s16.411,324. or an in
crease of t9.311,942 over the corre-
spending period of 1915.
The record established for the
month of July 1916, establishes an
increase of 1903 per cent over the
month Of July one year ago, whom
the clearings were but S7109,3S2,
which at that time was a record for
the clearings Of the Tulsa banks.
Mr.. Adams is confident that the
wonderful record made in gains dur
ing the past month over 1915 Will
be exceeded by the record OF the
present month. The bank clearings
of August, 1915, were nothing to
compare with the clearings Of the
month Just ended. aei it is probable
that the clearings for August will
even exceed those Of July
The busiest day Of the month of
July. 1916, was on the twelfth, dur
ing which there was cleared through
the clearing house SS94,444 and
the record week was that OF July
27. when a mark Of S4,O14.6S2 WAS
hung up by the Tulsa clearing house.
During the month just brought to
close. the average weekly clearings
were s4,lO2,S3l and the average
daily ciearings were $6S3,S05sL

NEWSPAPER PESTS

Funston Says Writers Who

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Aug. l.
General Funston tonight sent to the

gram announcing his intention to rid
the various guardsmen camps of news
paper correspondents who send out
false accounts of conditions in the
camps.
lie referred TO such correspondents
as pests" and said he had endured
them as long as he purposed to.
An order has been sent To all dis

covering future action against news
paper men sending out dispatches
which may be cl1sscd as untruthful.
In each instance the offender will be
tried by special court of militia Of

he will be ordered from camp.

"Thc great mass Of the suardsmen
are standing the hardships Of camp

Austrian Armies Have Been
Isolated Along Kovcl
Battle Field.
VLADIMIR VOLYNSKI
is NOW EVACUATED
Germans Drive Back Brit
ish at Foureaux and
French at Maurcpas.

ONDON, Aug. l-G0:2O p. M -
II The second anniversary of Ger
many's declaration of war ON Russia
finds the relative positions of the bel
ligerents very different from those Of
the first anniversary. The entente
allles now are pursuing successful
offensive on all fronts and the CEN
tral powers are virtually everywhere
on the. defensive.
Emperor William celebrated the oc-
casion by the issue of proclamations
to his army and navy and people
which breathed spirit of continued
confidence in ultimate victory for
Germany.
The operations on the eastern front
continue TO surpass those in the west
in dramatic interest. The military
critics express great admiration for
the Russian tactics, one of the i'm
portant objects of which in their opin-
ion, has been to isolate the Austrians
from the German armies on the Rus
sian front, This, it now is claimed
has been virtually accomplished by
the Russians driving a wedge into the
Austro-German positions along the
front of Kovel-Nladimir Volynski.
Accept Severance.
The view here is that il the Ger
mans have thus accepted sevcrence
from the Austrians the most decisive
result of the whole of the Russian
General Brussiloffs strategy will have
been obtained, it being argued by the
military observers that without Ger
man support the Austrian armies will
become demoralized and collapse.
The critics say that the Austrian
forces between the Lipa and Dniester
rivers are doomed There has been
no confirmation of the report received
in Rome that Kovel and Vladimir
Nolynski have been evacuated, but
Rome is usually well informed on
Russian news.
a correspondent with the Russian
forces has reported that the roads
toward kovel "are black with the
retreating enemy"
Exactly where General Brusiloff's
next blow will fall is not known. The
Russians are virtually within the same
distance of both Kovel and Vladimir
Nolynski and also are pressing closer
toward emberg.
Since Sundays combined advance
on the Somme line by the British and
French, the situation there has been
comparatively quiet. The French
have sustained the brunt of the Ger
man counter-attacks launched gainst
positions captured in this region.
The Germans claim to have driven
back the British who had penetrated
on a narrow front territory west of
the FOureauX wood and to have re-
pulsed successfully an eight-fold
French attack in the neighborhOod of
Maurepas. There has, however, been
no important change in the line since
the Anglo-French advance last
Sunday.

In a letter 10 Senator Sutherland

the Women's Roosevelt league for

question was one affecting the whole
country and that he favored "tak-
ing the shortest cut to its solution. 90
In mis- address to the league Mr..
Hughes again assailed the administra-
tion for its policy concerning Ameri-
can rights abroad during the Euro
peau war.
The nominee also made a luncheon
address today to about fifty Rcpub-
lican editors of New York state in
which he said he had twice been
called upon to live down an unde-
served reputation for coldness and
aloofness ana that he now was pass
