PERTINENT QUESTIONS

Chicago, June 9.-While commit
tees continued to grind away at or
ganization preliminaries the repub!l-
can national convention went through
the motions Of a second day session.
Today's business consisted Of hear
ing a report of progress from the
committee framing a platform and
report from the credentials committee,
which makes up the permanent roll.
Missouri got back her two lost dele
gates through last nights action ot
the credentials committee which re-
versed the national committees deci-
sion that conditions of the electorate
in Kansas City were so bad it would
| not seat any Of the delegates. That
restored the total number Of delegates

The overturning of the national com
mittee's decision in the Tennessee CO.
test also came as a surprise. Robert
+. Church Of Memphis, reputed to be
one of the weaithiest and most in
/ fluential negroes in the south, had
been seated by the national committee
after a straight-out bli tx and white
the negroes had bolted the convention.
Church is said to favor Lowden and
fight in which the whites charged that
was seated by the national committee
and had the backing of many promi-
nent members in his fight. The ere.
dentials committee threw him out.
The white contestants appealed to the
committee to take the republican or
ganiZation in Memphis out of the
hands OF a negro domination.

Proclamation

irdmore is honored today with
the presence of many of the vet
erans Of the civil war, men who
fought, farther back than many
of you can remember, for all that
was near and dear TO the hearts
OF the people Of the sunny south
land.
There are but few remaining Of
that band OF heroes who survived
the shock Of war. Some Of that
few are citizens of Oklahoma,
having cast their lot in this great
new state in joining in the effort
of their comrades in arms TO re-
build the south from chaos and
make il again blossom as the
rose.
The great state Of Oklahoma,
appreciating the futile efforts OF
the men who wore the gray and
risked their lives for the cause
of the confederacy, establirSed a
home in which those upon whom
fortune had turned the dark side
OF her face, might pass the few
remaining years of their earthly
life. Ardmore was honored through
having this home located here.
Ardmore. therefore, is near and
dear to the hearts OF the old Con-
federatos and it is but mete and
proper that Ardmore show appre-
ciation of the honor thus bestowed
upon her, the double honor of be-
ing the city in which is located the
Confederate Home and of being the
city, this year. which is the host
of the Confederate Veterans OF
Oklahoma.
1t is only right that Ardmore
show some open appreciation of
this double honor, now,

and devoted itself entirely to routine
preliminaries.
The temporary organization was
made permanent, the report Of the
credentials committee was approved
with the changes made last night,
some Of which reversed previous de-
cisions Of the national committee.
For its second day sensation the
convention heard a woman speaker,

that it was making progress.

Coliseum, Chicago, June 9.-The
republican national convention as
Scmbled for it's second session today
with little more TIM routine in pros

permanent organization was forecast.
During the first hour before the
opening the convention hall was given
over to the usual entertainment pre-
llminaries which are counted on to
amuse and hold delegates while the
convention is getting ready to get

in the balcony blared popular airs,

which one heard 50 much talked
about down town, were little In evil
dcnce in the convention hall The
delegates who arrived were slow in
filling up.
Most of the women delegates were
on hand early and they scattered
about the floor as photographers
sought them There was no fashion

man with furs wrapped close about
her neck finally had to shake them.
Resolutions that the party take an
'unequivocap stand for enforcement
