HUMANE WORK IS
BEGUN IN THIS
CITY BY WORKER.

Mrs. l.. T. Weatherbee, of Savannah,
representing the American Humane
Education society, is in the city in the
interest of this nationwide organiza
ton. She will be here several days.
visiting the prominent officials and
people of Americus in connection with
this work.
Mrs Weatherrbee proposes to inter
est the school forces; the churches,
their pastors and Sunday schools; the
clubs of the city-all in efforts to ad-
vance the cause of humane education.
For the past six weeks Mrs. Wealth
ersbee has been in Macon, where she
was very successful in the organization
of Bands of Mercy. In Columbus, and
also in the state OF Alabama, her
work was given serious impetus. She
represents the Southern states in this
work.
The work of this organization has
wide scope and undoubtedly it means
the betterment of conditions in the
state and section where it is carried
on.
Mrs. Weathersbee has held confer
ence with Mrs. Frank Cato, who is
president of the newly organized bird
society in this city. She has visited
Prof J. E. Mathis, superintendent OF
schools, and during her visit in the
city, will interest all Americus in her
work.
The Times Recorder expects to keep
the people of the city fully posted in
this work, which means much to the
advancement of ideals and conditions.

bile and they made their way to Macon.

The report was received enthusiast

MENTION OF NAME OF TAFT
BROUGHT HEARTY APPLAUSE
Roosevelt's Managers Said to Have
Long Distance Phone Direct
With Oyster Bay

AUDITORIUM, Chicago, June a.
The progressive national convention
re- convened at 1926 o'clock this
morning and the chairman arose and
brought the party platform before the
convention at 10:49.
Dean Lewis read the platform by
sections, each of these being acted up
on as offered. Several of the planks,
especially that bearing upon the suf-
frage issue, are expected to be de-
bated before the platform as a whole
is finally adopted
The committee named to confer with
the republican peace committee was
cheered as the members entered the
hall at 11:30. The chairman reported
harmonious conference with the re-
publicans, during which the republi-
cans failed to offer the name of any
persons as suitable compromise can
didate for the presidency. The mem
bers of the progressive committee urg-
ed the name of Roosevelt as the dual
party's standard-bearer. The republi-
can conferees advanced no concerted
proposition during the conference, ex-
cppt that a further conference might
be desirable later this afternoon.
Roosevelt's secretary, John W. Nc
Grath and william Loeb, Jr., frequent
ly mounted the platform during the
convention session and conferred with
rarity leaders. McGrath and Loeb, it
became known this afternoon, have
taken positions in an ante-room con-
nected with oyster Bay by telephone,
and are in constant communication
with Col. Roosevelt.
After leaving the rostrum the first
time this morning, Loeb said:
I'VE hope to keep the convention
