 With downcast heads and heavy footsteps youngsters dragged their way wearily home but mothers were constantly annoyed by the children who sought to hurry her in the prep aration of the monday meal. They bolted their food, with the rapidity of the sword swallower that they would witness in the afternoon. But as soon as dinner was over they inn mediately returned to their former station to await this time the coming of the performers.
 At 12:45 o'clock Fred Bradna got into the cabrio1et and the parade was on. A group of horsemen carrying g small banners followed and then in line came the many bands, the gold leafed and mu1ti-colored floats and animal wagons, the monstrous e1e- plants, the .camels and every con- ceivab1e article of paraphernalia that goes to make the circus parade gor-

BULL MOOSERS
 RESTRAINED BY
 PARFYsEl,-ADF

' Chicago. CAuditorium), June 99-. Henry Aliens description of yester- days, session that it was "a powder magazine with lots of matches around,'' adequately described the sit uation in the Progressive convention today.
 While the leaders talked, the dele gates poured in. The Massachusetts delegation marched in yelling Wed better nominate Roosevelt before it's too late.''
 William Allen White and Clifford Pinchot, after moving about among the delegates reported that the con vention could not be restrained the m om ent word caAne that nominations were being made by the Republicans. It was the determination of the Pro gressives to place their nomin6e in the field before action could be taken by the other convention. Col. ROOse- welt, it was said, would not be named by exclamation but with a roll call.
 It was 1O:26 when Chairman Robins called the convention to order. The floor was filled, but. alternates' places in the galleries were not.
 The opening prayer was given. by Rabbi Joseph Stolz, of Chicago Gen eraI applause followed the prayer.
 Chairman Robins brought up the convention's unfinished business and the platform, to be read plank by plank by Dean William Draper Lewis, chairman of the resolutions commit tee The chairman moved the ap- provaI of each plank as it's reading was finished but said final adoption as a whole would be deferred until the entire document had been read, amendments made and the peace conferes' report acted upon.
 All of the first paragraphs of the platform were approved by viva voce vote; later para graphs were approved by unanimous consent.
 The plans of -EsAnericanism'' were approved without dissenting voice and without applause. Mr. Lewis, holding an Indiana r.roxy, offered an amendment to the Mexican plank to include criticism of the murder" of Americans on the high seas.
 The peace conference committee, headed by George w. Perkins and Governor Johnson, arrived at 11:30 and the platform was laid aside
 MT Perkins, after. burst of ap- plause, presented the peace conferees' report.
 Deep silence fell as he began to read MT. Perkins, before reading the report recited how the commit tees had met several hours last night and each drawn a report for their re- spective conventions.
 When MT. Perkins told how Col. Rooseve1ts name had been presented there was short, loud applause, Tells and cheers followed the statement that the Republicans presented no candi- date. There was little applause when reading of the report was completed Rapt attention was given the reading of the Republican committees re- port.
 we know you love us all,'' MT. Per lins interjected as the names of the Progressive committeeman were read.
 Without any preliminary announce nent. Senator ,Borah entered the Au- ditorium hall at 12:46 p. m., where the Progressives were assembled in convention. He was escorted to the platform. A tremendous ovation was given him.

WHITMAN NAMES HUGHES BEFORE
 G. O. P. MEETING

Coliseum, Chicago, June 9-FoI- lowing a night of conferences with the peace committee" of the Pro- gressives the Republicans came to the third days convention with a feel ing that harmony was still far off.
 The report of the conference com rr1ittee of Republicans showed that the Bull Moosers would be perfectly satisfied if the Republicans would name Colonel Roosevelt. The report said the conference was frank and friendly"
 It was expected that further peace meetings would be held this afternoon.
 The first nominating speech of the convention came at 11:41 when Gov ernor Whitman of New York took the stage to present Justice Hughes name. The mention of former Presi- dent Taft's name brought a demon stration that lasted six minutes. At 11:17, Chairman Harding got the meeting in order and the conven- ton stood while Bishop William F. Mcdowell offered prayer.
 Senator Shoot read the report of the peace conference. (The report is printed elsewhere in The Farmer.)
 When MT. Shoot came to the an nouncement that the PrOgresSiveS had urged that Col. Roosevelt had the at- tributes of 'tthe most desirable candi- date upon which to unite,'' there were applause, cheers and some misses. There were cries of Roosevelt, a dangling of cowbells and more cheers. Senator Shoot held up his hand for silence but the demonstration, coming from different parts of the hall, con tinued. Some few tried to hiss down the demonstration.
 At cries of 'tOrder, order,'' Chairman Harding banged the gave1 and the noise subsided. Scattering applause and some laughter marked the close of the reading of the report
 Applause and cheers marked the an that the conferees would continue their work.
 Then came the big business-the nomination of candidates. The roll of states was called and Alabama and Alaska passed. Arizona yielded to New York.
 Governor Whitman. of New York, was recognized and took the platform to nominate Justice Hughes. The demonstration subsided while Gov ernor Whitman was being introduced.
 His declaration that we are here to choose the next President" was ap- p1auded. Then the governor went on to a denuncia ton of President Will sons foreign policy and declaration that the prosperity of the country only was temporary and dependent wholly on the war. For the times to come, he declared, the nation called for "our greatest statesmen and the Republican party.
 ''No man living" he shouted, "can claim a monopoly of the American spirit in his heart or in his nature, The Republican party is full of them"
 He was greeted with an outburst of handclapping and there was an- other when he declared the nation shoU1d always be prepared and proud to f1ght''
 There was a demonstration wh len Governor Whitman mentioned the name of William Howard Taft. The delegates rose, cheeNing and waving their hats, and for the first time the whole body of them were on their feet. The band struck up and rolled the cheers along. It was the longest demonstration of the convention so far When it showed signs of dying,

for their principles that it is foolish
to believe that they can be switched

harmony" said Mr.. Dodge. when

Although the state department has

MIA there is such a strong sentiment
favorable to this in Canada that Ca

The regimental badge consists of a
blending of the union jack and the
American colorS.
Another interesting sidelight on Ca

in the news that japanese cruisers
have been for months conveying Cana

AIR CRUISERS ARE next
French to Launch New Design Aero
Fighters Carrying Big Guns.

Paris, May 19-Monster French

the famous "soixante-quinze" guns so
destructive at Verdun-will be in ac-

Successful experiments with this
new terror of the air have just been
completed.
In all probability Aviator Sergeant
Treillo Grandseigne, hero of several
recent air exploits will pilot the first

been directing the experiments in
which huge aeroplanes have carried
