Progressive CONVENTION
IS CALLED FOR AUGUST !
In Chicago BY John NJ. Parker,
the Vice Presidential NOmi.
nee Last June.

| New l.,e-l;, Jd!y IA STAT
ment ana 49,! 10 the patriotic men
and women of America" to hold d
new national convention of the Pro-
gressive party in Chicago on Aug
ust 8 and nominate candidates for
President and Vice President and
continue the. party's existence as a
distinct political organization was
issued here tonight by John NJ. Par
ker, Vice Presidential nominee of
| the Progressive Convention held in
Chicago last June. He urges the
Progressives to externally bury" the
Bull Moose, which, he asserts, lied
his loyal followers into the wilder
ness" and to adopt in its place the
American eagle as the emblem of
the party.
MIR. Parker does not mention Col.
Roosevelt or any other Progressive
leader or any candidate by name.
He declares, however, that the Pro-
gressives lad as supposed leaders
"red-blooded Americans, who prom
ised with their life blood to stay
with the party to the finish" but
that the party had been deserted by
a large part of its officers, who could
not stand the acid test. He charges
that leaders, for "steam-roller rea-
sons, have elected to be steam-roll-
ed" and that the time has come
when every party working for hu-
man welfare and the future of
America should unite against both
dominant parties. In criticising the
Republican party the statement indi-
rectly refers to Charles E. Hughes,
Republican candidate for President,
as "a splendid man." selected by the
Republicans ''as the mask behind
which they hope to again secure
control of State and nation"
Mr.. Parker declares he does not
want Office and states his willingness
to withdraw as the Progressive can
didate for Vice President and labor
in the ranks and on the stump to
prove his loyalty to Progressive
principles. His inclusion of women
in the call is taken to mean that the
party is to be unreservedly pledged
for woman suffrage and that the wo-
men voters in the suffrage States are
invited to join the Progressive party
and work for its success in the
coming election.

saying best town on earth" is put
into tangible shape.
Several splendid entertainments
and receptions were gotten up for
the delectation of the newspaper
folks, chief among which were the
banquet at the Christian Church,
given by the Ashland Board of
Trade; the elegant reception given
by Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Henderson,
assisted by Miss Margaret Anne
Poage dance at Cnffside Casino;
reception at Country Club to visit
ing ladies, and the final general re-
ception and dance at Elks Home.
All of these were in the highest
sense enjoyable and deeply appre-
ciated by the guests in whose honor
they were given.
No pen could do full justice to the
event as a whole. embracing Ash
land. its people, its features as a
progressive city, and what the edi-
tors saw and experienced there. The
occasion will live long in happy
thought and the fight of years will
not dim the memory of this splen-
did event.

large force of Mexican bandits i:
mobilizing across the border south
of the Arizona and New Mexico State
line. Detachments of cavalry from
this and the Douglas bases have
been rushed to that section of the
border.
Intense uneasiness is felt among
American residents along the inter.
national line. Many ranchers are
hurrying their families here for
safety.
The bandit band is gathering in
the San Simon Valley. Its presence
was discovered accidentally by
American customs riders along the
border.
Early this morning these officials
intercepted herd of horses being
driven by Mexicans south across the
line. The horses had been stolen
from ranches. They were to have
been used as mounts for the ban
dts.
The Mexicans were fred CHI but
escaped across the border. The Gus
toms riders made their report and
Immediately scouting details were
flung out.
They picked up several poems who
were fleeing across the international
line from the San Simon Valley.
They told of the bandit mobilization.
Plans are being made by the ban
dts to attack and loot small Amer
lean settlements, the peon captives
declared. Operations were being
held in check by the leaders, it was
said, only pending the organization
of a force of effective proportions.
The towns threatened are Apache,
Rodeo, Bernardino, Animas and
Chiricahua. These are unprotected
save by small attachments of Mill

Realignment of troops for protec-
tion against bandit raids in the Big
Bend country began to-day with the
arrival at Boquillas, Texas, on a mo-
tor truck train of one company, Sec
ond Regiment, Pennsylvania Nation
al Guard, and the dispatch of
troop of the Sixth Cavalry to re-en-
force B Troop at Glenn Springs.
The remainder of the Pennsylva-
mia battalion at Marathon will be
to border points as rap
idly as possible.
Troops also are being rushed from
Alpine and Maria to the border as
result of repeateds warnings that
bandits are advancing to the Rio
Grande to raid this exposed part of
Texas.
Ranchers report Mexicans in the
district across the river, which has
been a hotbed of outlawry, are near
starvation, and say they will be
forced soon to raid the American
side to get supplies.
Five or six hundred Carranza SOL
diers are reported to be encamped
across the river.
Estimates of the number of BAN
dts reported to be moving toward
the Big Bend district vary from a
few hundred to more than 1000.

The presence of other diseases is

especially measles and whooping
cough, frequently prepare the way
for pneumonia. Anyone who through
neglect or carelessness permits the
spread of these infections is therefore
open to the severest condemnation.
EXhausting disease of whatever ma
ture, is often sufficient to so reduce
resistance that we are unable to cope
with organisms which should be cas-
lily overcome, and hence predisposes
to the infection.
Debility, either temporary or
chronic, developing from any cause,
increases susceptibility. Because of
this the disease most often attacks
those at the extrems of life. Among
debilitating influences must be men

winds and the chilling of body sur

with it a mortality of from ten to
thirty per cent, 1t should be remem-
bered that our scientific data are not
yet complete. There are problems
connected with immunity, predisposi-

which are yet to be solved. 1t is
known that pneumonia frequently at

is due to the increased virulence of
the organism or to other causes is
unexplained. 1t is, however, recog-

about it, too:
The state emergency board, the same
one that refused to pay the accounts of
newspapers against the state fair board,

work the man who handled the material
