Mr. Wall added ihat Mr Bryan at in o'clock tomorrow morning by
would support Parker personally. j Rev Parker.
Judge Parker was greatly interest- Miss McKen/n
ed in the Wisconsin situation. Mr.
Wall told him that while Wisconsin
under normal conditions gave 20.000
plurality to the republicans, the
breach between the Lafollette ami
"stalwart" factions was of such na-
ture that it could not be healed. He
expressed the belief that if the demo-
crats who supported Gov. Lafollette
two years ago for the purpose of ad-
ministering a rebuke to the faction
headed by Senator Spooner and Con-
gressman Babcock. returned to the
party, there was no doubt that the
democratic state ticket would be elect-
ed.
"At any rate." he said, "Wisconsin
must at least be counted as one of
the doubtful states."
The appointment of William F.
Sheenan as chairman of the national
committee came as a surprise to
Judge Parker. He was not surprised
because of the selection, as that fore-
gone conclusion, but because he was
under the impression that the execu-
tive committee would name its own
chairman.

HOW ABOUT HINKLE?
Cincinnati, August 1. -Estimates|
were made up today by Secretary
Joseph Miller of the Brewers' ex
change of the beer that was consum-
ed in Cincinnati during the week of |
the Elks' national reunion over and
above the normal quantity. The ex '
tra amount consumed was 1.620 bar-j
rels. There are thirty-two gallons'
to the barrel and sixteen glasses to
the gallon, making 829,440 extra
glasses drank, for which was paid to
the retailers $41,472. The profit to,
the retailers on this beer was easily ,
100 per cent.
Based on these figures it is esti '
mated that more than $100,000 was
expended in the saloons. The Cin-
cinnati brewers, taking this as -i
basis, estimate that the visiting Elk-
expended $1,250,000 in Cincinnati.

Not withstanding the claim of the
packinghouse managers that they
have no difficulty in securing work-
men, they are said to be making very
strong efforts to induce their former
employes to return to work. The
latest, move made in that line is the
distri tuition of cards among the wives
of tli e strikers, urging them to in
duce their husbands to return to th

HOWLED FOR DAVIS
EVERYBODY IN EARNEST.
An Unusually Large Attendance, and
Commendable Interest in El
Reno's Welfare Mani-
fested.
(From Wednesday's Daily.)
The Chamber ot Commerce meet
ing last night was one of much inter-
est. In spite of mud and damp weath-
er. the attendance was larger than
usual, and members who seldom at-
tend were there and took active part
in the proceedings
The meeting was called to order
by Chairman .Jones. H. C. Bradford
stated that a movement had been in-
augurated by certain west-side men
to have the Indian payments made at
Watonga, (ieary and Bridgeport, in
stead of at Darlington, as is done at
present. He said that Delegate Me
Gtrre had been asked to help to have
the change made, ami that the inter-
ested west-siders were circulating pe-
titions among the Indians, asking for
the change. Upon motion of Frank
Meyer, a committee of three to act
with the chairman and secretary, was
appointed, whose duty it was made
to draft a resolution to be sent to
Mr. McGuire. and to the Indian com-
missioner. protesting against the pro-
posed change. The chair appointed
II. C. Bradford. W A. Edger and
Frank Meyer, and the resolution was
adopted and forwarded today.
W. A. Edgar moved that a commit-j
tee of two be appointed, to attend the:
celebration at Hinton and work with
the Indians, who will be there by i
hundreds, to indmce them to refuse
to sign the petition for the change.

meeting was held in the court j conducted under the immediate sup-
ervision .of James R Garfield, the
commissioner of the bureau of cor-
porations of the department of com-
merce and labor. Mr. Garfield has
taken a personal hand in some fea-
tures of the investigation. Such por-
tions of the report as bear on the
strike now in progress at Chicago, it
is said, are incidental to the general
; house last night, for the purpose of
perfecting the organization of a Par-
ker-Davis club. The attendance was
very small, only forty five persons be-
ing present, nine of whom were
ladies.
The meeting was called to order by
Frank Meyer, temporary chairman,
after which the body went to work
to effect a permanent organization.
The presidency .of the club was ten
dered to Wade Hampton, but he did
not appear to be hankering after of-
fice. as he declined. The club then
proceeded to elect officers by ballot,
with the following result: J. W.
Freeborn, president. Clyde Matthews THE
secretary; Wade Hampton, treasurer. I
Before opening the books for the
enrollment of members, a motion was
made that ladies be admitted to mem-
bership. The motion carried, and
straightway forty-five names were
placed upon the list of members.
In order to add /est and eclat to
future meetings, it was resolved to
organize a glee club, and a committee
was appointed composed of Walter
Aycock, chairman; Harry Lee Fogg
ami R. S. Trulock, Mrs. Hampton,
I Mrs. CcKen/ie and Mfss Irene Wil-
son, whose duty it w: s made to select
suitable material for the club.
No lengthy addresses were made,
and after allowing a few bills an ad-
journment was taken. The club will
meet again next Monday night.
