CAGO NOW UNDERWAY

WAUKEGAN, Ills, June 8.--The trial
of viii Orpet, charged with the muir
der of Marion Lambert, last February,
was begun here this morning. The jury
was completed shortly afternoon, after
twelve hundred veniremen had been

Orpet, who was a student at the
University of Wisconsin, had been at
tentive to Miss Lambert some time
previous TO the murder, and had
broken with her. He admits however,
having met and conversed with the
girl in the Lake Forest wood, near
where the body was found. Death was
due to poison. Orpet was soon to be
married to another woman when ar
rested for the murder of Miss Lam
bert, and when taken into custody at
first stated he had not met the girl,
true.

Lean Progressive Attendance.

AUDITORIUM, Chicago, June g.
No more than hundred persons were
fl the house half an hour before the
progressive national convention met
here today. Failure to unite with the
republicans on some suitable candidate
probably, is responsible for the slender
attendance of delegates.

BIC COP. SPLIT
NOT HEALED; TWO
TICKETS CERTAIN

!
Ell its deliberations at 11:22 o'clock
this morning.
The Rt Rev Francis Kelley prayed,
and at the conclusion of the invocation
the Credentials committee made its re-
port The recommendation that 987
delegates be seated was unanimously
adopted Two delegates from the Dis
trict of Columbia were excluded, but
delegates from Alaska, Hawaii, the
Philippines and Porto Rico were seat
ed
The temporary organization was
then made permanent, and the Rules
committee reported.
AS leaders gathered today for both
the republican and progressive con-
ventions it became more and more evil
dent that there are to be two tickets
nominated. Victor Murdock, chairman
of the progressive convention, summed
III the situation this afternoon when
he stated to a representative of the
Associated Press:
We'll; we have left the door open
ard the republicans don't seem to be
coming in"
The foregoing was the progressive
leaders reply to inquiries whether or
not conference committees are likely to
be appointed to receive and pass upon
peace suggestions.
Old guard republican leaders also
discounted peace talk, saying that ac-
ton had already been so long delayed
until majority has decided to pro-
ceed, regardless of amy third party, and
nominate, either Justice Hughes or
some progressive republican.
Roosevelt republicans still profess
| to believe the colonel could save the
day even at this late hour by coming
here and counseling the two wings of
tie party.
The Resolutions committee spent a
portion of today considering the report
of subcommittee, which drew up a
platform containing a Mexican plank
drawn by Senator Fall of New Mexico
This plank charges the democratic ad-
ministration with failure to do its duty
toward Mexico and pledges the repub-
licans to restore peace ond order in
that country.
The ubcommittee rejected a plank
offered by Senator Borah, of Idaho, and
bearing upon the Mexican situation.
Military and industrial preparedness
planks have been adopted by the sub
mittee, which favors universal military
training and so declares.
The reports declares that a protec-
tive tariff is essential to national pros
perity and comes out for a restoration
Of the American merchant marine.
The subcommittee urges a re-afirm-
alton of the Monroe doctrine, and the
woman's suffrage plank was fatty re-
jected.
The report of the Resolutions com
mittee being delayed, the convention
recessed until O'Clock this afternoon.
The committee, it is believed, will re-
pert woman suffrage plank, and de- !
clare for absolute neutrality between |
warning nations in Europe. A national
prohibition plank was offered and re-
ceived some support in the committee,
but after brief deliberation, it was de-
cided to kill this plank altogether.

Jwdy, Noble!


The first rays of the morning shot
forth to greet scores of Shriners, and
with their red fez-the insignia of
Shriners over the world-they began
to make merry.
AS the day loped along and soon
gained enough momentum to receive
the title of morning, a special train of
five cars pulled into the city from Sa-
yannah. They halted slightly to the
east of the Seaeboard Air Line rail-
way passenger station, awaiting the
orders to march"
AT o'clock every Shriner in Ameri-
Gus and Sumter county, joined by
many who had arrived in the early
hours of the morning, filed to the Sea-
board station, while the Americus
Light Infantry, commanded by Captain
James A. Fort were ordered to fall
in"
Down Jackson street the troops
marched in excellent form, and when
the station was reached, Captain
James A. Fort assumed charge of the
situation in the name of every Shriner,
every person in Americus-and good
fellowship.
Shots We're Fired.
A volley of shots were fired and the
sleepy Shn'iners hurried out of their
bcrths to find that they were in the
midst of-well, Mutt and Jeff have
told the story.
Cliff Walker, attorney general of
Georgia, dismounted from the train,
and he was immediately placed under
guard by the troopers, He got taste
ct what the State of Girard" is ex-
periencing, and attorney general or
no power, he was just plain Shriner
in the hands of the-friends.
The entire aggregation was corralled
and the march up jackson street be-
gan to the Windsor Eaotel. Every red
fez caught signal to 5oin the march
ers, and under penalty of severe trou-
ble they promptly acquiesced.
Shortly after O'Clock, E. A. Nisbet,
we'll known Americus attorney, and
officially known as city attorney, well
romed the Shriners on the part of the
Mavor and City Council and the people
of Americus. His remarks bore the
warm welcome intended, although
eouched in terms of somewhat indis-
singuishable import. For he said:
iCaptain Fort, where in the - did
you get this bunch of cattle?"

Liver Tone is taking it's place.
"Calomel is dangerous and

guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle cost
so cents, and if 1T fails to give
easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation,
you have only to ask for your
money back.
Dodson Liver Tone is a pleas.

full at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick head

ELECT WOODROW WILSON

One of the strongest argu.
ments in favor of the reelection
of President Wilson is that pre-
sented in an editorial by the
great editor, Henry Watterson,
in the Courier-Journal.
He puts the matter in this
way:
Across a few thousand miles
of salt water party politics nev.
er loom very large, but a change
of government is distinctly OBJ.
servable. Europe is looking
across the Atlantic to see not
whether the Republicans or the
Democrats have the greater
strength in the United States,
but whether the American peo.
pie indorse the ad ADMINISTRATION of
a President who has had upon
his shoulders the duties of Office
at a time wheE war in Europe
and threatened war in the Uni.
ted States and Mexico has made
those duties doubly difficult.
From the European point of
view the removal of President
Wilson--in violation of the good
old fashioned rule against swap.
ping horses while crossing the
stream would create the same
impression that the removal of
the President of France at this
time would create in America
Europe would see in the over.
throw of President who has
stood firmly for the rights of
America as neutral, a triumph

ca, aided perhaps by the peace

mans who have been tempted
to influence the course of the
American Government in the in.
terest Of Kaiser Wilhelm would
regard it as their victory and
would exert themselves to spread
ia Europe the news of the sub
serviency of the American peo-
pie to the German cause"

DON'T ROCK THE BOAT

Senator Brogan, of Florida,
made a very strong point in
single sentence when he asked
Senator Hardwick of Georgia
this question:: Does the Sena.
tor from Georgia believe that the
Postmaster General who has in
creased the service on rural
routes SO that instead of supply
ing three and a half million peo-
pie it supplies six million peo-
pie, is deserving of the criticism
of the people of this country"
Senator Hardwick had been
criticising the postoffice depart
ment very severely when Sena-
tor Brogan asked this question.
And the Georgian did not and
could not give a very satisfac.
tory answer.
1t ill becomes Democratic Con.
greSSmen to criticiSe the present
administration, especially in
view of the fact that the depart
merits of the government are
doing all they can and to the best
of their ability to serve the whole
country 1t is also poor policy to
be finding fault with the admin.
istration on the eve of presi.
dental election. j. is easy to
pick flaws and find fault where
so many complex problems come
up for prompt action.
The Republicans can be de-
pended upon to pick flaws in the
management of the nations af-
fairs and the aid of Democrats is
not needed in this incpportune
and undesirable program.
1t has been said that if Demo-
Gratis get into power it makes
fools of them. 1t does seem that
there can always be found some
body to rock the political boat.
