WHAT THOSE WHO ATTEND THE CHAUTAUQUA WILL HEAR A Short Account of the Lecturers Who Will Appear Dur ing the Week The Program in Full DR. A. D. HARMON. Dr. A. D. Harmon, of St. Paul, Minn., a Chautauqua lecturer of wide outlook and a preacher of ability, is the Superintendent. Chautauqua Superintendents have proven them selves to be among the most popular persons on the program. They unite with the duties of introducing speak ers and keeping everything in Tun ing order, the presentation of a popu lar series of lectures. It is expected that every person attending Chautau qua will know the Superintendent and speak to him without a formal intro duction. Dr. Harmon's subjects are announced in the program. DR. PAUL M. PEARSON. Professor of Public Speaking, Swarth more. College professor, lecturer, editor, Chautauqua director, Dr. Pearson manages all this work with compara tive ease and sems to enjoy it. For fifteen years Dr. Pearson has been on the Chautauqua Platform, where he has many times given a dozen or more lecture in the same town. His record is at "Old Salem" Chautauqua in Illi nois, where in eight successive years he delivered thirty-two lecture reci tals. His lecture-recitals are unique, interesting and popular. Dr. Pearson is director of the more than two hun dred Chautauquas that are conducted by the Chautauqua Association. ROSS CRANE Ross Crane, Cartoonist, and his company Canvasses and Crayons, Modeling Board and Clay, the Piano to say nothing of the Piano Stool. Painter, Sculptor, Humorist. In the space of twenty minutes during hh program he produces as if by magic six or eight clay heads portraits of men beloved by the naton, as well as caricatures. His platform work is entertainment plus. Rarely have all the elements of a great entertainer been so completely united in one per sonality. What Leland Powers is to the Art of Impersonation; what Dr. Gunsaulus is to the Lecture Platform, Ross Crane is among Cartoonists. ELSWORTH PLUMSTEAD Impersonator He pleases grown-ups and young sters alike. His jolity is the infecti ous sort which carries an audience off its feet. Inimitable mannerisms, joy in his work Elsworth Plumstead. "And that's the funniest part of it, the life and soul and heart of it, You get what's in it out of it when Plumstead laughs." Captain Jack Crawford. DR. RUSSELL H. CONWELL Farmer, "self-made man," soldier in the war of the rebellion, successful loiuiur natciniwr rnrresnondent. au thor, preacher, founder and President of Temple University, builder and pastor of the largest Protestant church in America; lecturer for nearly 9,000 engagements, Dr. Russell H. Conwell. For 50 years he has been lecturing, al ways growing more popular. His sub ject will be found on the program. JUDGE BENJ. B. LINDSAY Judge of the Denver, Colorado, Ju venile Court, the foe to the "Beast in the Jungle," the biggest little fighter in America is Benjamin B. Lindsey. All the kids of Denver love him. In some way they realize that he stands for their chance, that he represents a new and better order of things for them. His recital of "The Misfortunes of Mickey" is the simple, straighfor ward story, so-called "bad" boys caught in time in his net of kindness to be raised to the ranks of useful citizens. There is no speaker on the Chautauqua Platform who has a truer message than Judge Lindsey. No speaker could possibly be more inter esting. Hear him. FRANK DIXON "The Social Survey; or, Taking Stock of a Town," a new lecture by Frank Dixon, is constructive, vital, lasting. Last year, Dixon's lecture was the most talked-of on the Chaa 1 tauqua program. The new lecture shows a different side of the man a constructive reformer. "One of the greatest lectures ever heard here," "A wonderfully stimulating lecture," and like superlatives followed his lecture in the thirty-three towns of the Spring Circuit. SIGNOR CALEFATY VICTOR Signor Calefaty Victor is one of the best known band conductors in Ameri ca. He is at the head of a large or ganization in New York City which trains, equips and routes nearly all the Italian bands in this country. He supervises the training, personally coaching the conductors. For ten years Victor and his band have been the most sought for Italian band in America, the best of them all. If you miss the band you will regret it. TYROLEAN ALPINE YODLERS This company of Yodlers was assem bled from among the best singers of Switzerland, especially for a produc tion at the New York Hippodrome, called "A Trip Around the World." This was one of the biggest successes of that great theatre, famous for its successes. The Yodlers, in the Alps Scene, were most enthusiastically re ceived. They remained at the Hippo drome all through the season of 38 weeks, in 1911-12, and since then have been constantly engaged for Chautau qua work as a principal attraction. THE ORIGINAL STROLLERS QUARTET The best known quartet on the plat form. Their rjrogram includes the best ami only the best quartet work. Singing, impersonation, instrumental music, bell ringing all enter into it. We think so much of the Strollers that we havevVigaged all their time for a year in advance. William G. Wells, baritone and pianist, is considered one ,of the best soloists on the Chautau qua platform. As a pianist he is a (strong factor in the variety of the iompany. E. 0. Moore, first tenor, is an exceptionally pleasing soloist and has had remarkable success be fore critical audiences. Victor A. lEnglund, second tenor, has a natural I tenor voice of rare quality and sweet ness. Edward P. Parmenter, basso, is 'acknowledged to have one of the lead ing bass voices in Chautauqua work. 'As an impersonator he is true to life and portrays characters as they really are. THE IMPERIAL RUSSIAN QUAR TET Trained by famous Russian masters. Mr. D. Eisenberg was a pupil of the renowned violinist, Professor Aucr, of the bt. Petersburg Conservatory. Mrs. J. Loseff was a pupil of the silver, Dareidov. Mrs. D.

He was most cordially reoelv. ed and spoke for more than an hour '.lis address consisting of a tiypewrit ten manuscript of thirty-odd pages. Mr. Rouse, as temporary chairman reviewed the downfall of the Repub lican party as the domtnar.t national force, an eventuality that he de-- clared was already in progress wheni the Democratic State convention of 1912 was held, Taft being even then iace to face with a revolt among, his paity leaders. He paid high tribute to Governor Aycook'sj vision of the power and influence that N'orthl Carolina was destined to 'have in the national affairs flow being realized in the representation the State has in the natici-iat adminis tration with Senator Simmons, Jo sephus Daniels.

"We reaffirm our allegiance to the cardinal principles of Democratic government and' again present our cause to the people lni confidence that a continuation of Democratic Ccintrci will result in a complete restoration of the high ideals! of constitutional government as estab lished by the fathers of the Republ c and Interpreted to meet the needs of the progress of time. "We indorse the administration, of WoodiTow Wilson and the broad statesmanship, high ideals., earnest ness and application with which he is administering his high office. The Democratic party under brave and wise leadership has merited the con fidence and support in the American people. It has restored the govern ment to the people and w,resteJ the govrnment ffrom the hands of the favored classes under which the Re publicans had placed it. The tariff has been revised downward, and the power to tax the people wrested tiMni' .the favored few. It has de stroyed the monopoly of credit and enacted- a banking system which will rnsure equal banking; facilities lor all the BeoDle witimnt r..j ... section or class.

We endorse the administration o Gov.

"We rejoice in the progress our State is making in. the cause of education of all the chiUi.ren under Democratic rule and we pledge to the people ( the State the con tinued support of, the paity until a six mentis school in every nisinci throughout North Carolina shall be realized aad that the resources of the State will be used under Demo cratic ruJe to promote this eid jus as rapidly as economic conditions will pernnit and to this end we urge crcperatiem of Slate and county for ,the establishment of six months' ischool term. vliHlkiVty to the indoremer.t of such n all ns wul lllaKe mms principle ap SIX MONTHS' SCHOOLS Chairman Travis Renominated Act Demanded, ply to all political paities.

"We bring before our party the special demand and the needs of the farmers of Noith Carolina, in the conviction that all that serves them serves all the people. We recom mend that the State follow up its increasingly useful work of inspec tion, education and instructions with aid to a system of rural credits de signed bo enable the producers of the wealth frcm. which the State draws its life to manage their en terprises at the lowest possible rate of interest and to market their pro ducts to he best advantage. We urge our representatives ia Congress to uphold the President In his plans to aid our farmers in the matter of rural credits. We recommend tle encouragement of studies in practical agriculture in our free schools." , A. W. McKinoon for himself and A. L. Brooks of the platform com mittee introduced the following mi nority repoit; "We regret to dis sent from the report ief the ma jority of your committee on reso lutions and platform with relation to any matter coming before this ccavemtkn, but there is one plank of the platform which we feel sure should not be adopted as reported by the committee and that is the one relating tot legalized primaries for the State. "We believe that the Democratic party can only hope to succeed in the State and' Nation by placing the management! of government affairs directly in the hands of the peo ple and by proper election machine y enabling the masses too, directlv ex press theiir preferences in the selec tion of those officers who are to adminfeter the affairs of their gov ernment. "We believe that the Democratic paTty should either go back to the delegate system of selecting candi dates or give to the people an hon est, bona fide primary election' law for all officers of all paities to be helU throughout the; State on the same day, the expenses of same to be borne by the State, to be safe guarded by a corrupt practices act that dishonesty in elections will not be possible. "We therefore offer as a substi tute for the committee's) report on the primary question the follow ing; "We demand enactment of a le galized State-wide primary election law by ballot for all paities and for all elective .officers to be held on the same day throughout the State- at the expense of the State, and we urge the General Assembly to provide such an act as will clearly and distinctly effectuate this purpose and properly safeguard' c by a drastic corrupt practices act." Mr. McKinnon, after reading the minority report, yielded to Mr. Brooks, who declared that he did not come to the Progressive con vention. If there was anything wrong with the patty he wuuted to come to a Democratic convention to fight it ont. If it is a good; thing to have primaries for I'nited States fcenulors why is it not a g ltd thins; to have them for legislative offic ers? He belived such action would build up the Democratic paity and! help t destroy the Republican par ty. If we have a primary let us have it in truth and Vn fact. Cameron Morrison, spoke in op position insisting that the western counties that da not war.t countv primaries aad believe they will hurt their Democratic chances should not have such primaries forced unon them. R. H. Hayes urged the adoution of the majority report, as1 did C. O McMichael. ' Hon. J. D. Bellamy declared he progress as there has and wanted was glad there has been as much a drastic primary law. He didn't care so much about it applying to me county offices. n W. A, Erwin appealed that the convention follow Democratic prin ciples and adopt the majority report After considerable and spirited discussion the convention voted by roll call, completed at 11 o'clock, 268 for and 572 against the minor ity re'pon. hTereafter the conven tion udepted the platform as re ported by the niajoiiity of the com mittee and adjourned. , Statesman's Daring Flight. Winston Churchill, First Lord the British Admiralty, "looped the loop" six tjmes in an aeroplane this week. He was a passenger with Avi ator Hamel. Mr. Churchill,, whose of fice corresponds to that of Secretary of the Navy in this country, has long been enthusiastic about aviation.

L. Hills), chairman ol the district, who) iavtted D. Ward of New Bera to preside as temporary! chairmaa, and 'members of the press to act as secretaries. From tbe moment the convention was called to order, it was in, evidence that it would be a wrangle and fight to the finish, and when it adjourned shortly alter 2 o'clock after George E. Hood of this city had received the nomination, it was certain the few hours that the convention was In session will long be remembered. Intense excitement prevailed throughfciutl th entire time, and tonight deiteg-ateqf are nursing sore heads, ptrnched-in nos es and dfccoloredi eyes, while two more were rushed to the local hos pital for recuperation front scalp wvunds inllflcted by Police Officer Ed Tew. who went to the assistance of Sheriff Edwards, who was find ing it a hot time in old Goldeboro. The sheriff had forced a delegate to resume his sect and suddenly found himself surrounded) by! sofne 15 hofllwing followers of the delegate who were beginning to make 0im see stars by delivering no gent.e love taps upon his head. One oil the mob sMpped his revolver from his pocket and displayed same, giving vert to a war-cry that would have been a credit to any) Indian who ever went upon the war-path. Three men then shouted "they were going to cut hie throat" and began to advance upon him with drawn kinives and at this) juiicutre Officer Tew interfered with drawn club, and when he found hitaeelf also in dujging in the bitter sweets- he be gan to make a base drum oiut of ev ery head within his reach, assisted' by S er ffj lEti wards, who played tiawc with several eyesJ and nose . and when, the battle was finally end ed a lleg of truce carried by an other gathering of delegates, it was a isitory too sad to relate, and for a while bloctf was flcwng from mnay faces, like the perspiration on a hot Juliy day. Mr. Hood was nominated on the first ballot, the result being 204 for Hood. Thomas 31 and twm not voting. Mr. Hood made a short speech of acceptance. COX FEDERATE MONUMENT VEILEDl UN- North and South Join In Tribute, ta Southern Heroes Addressed by President Wilson. Arlington! Natkpal Cemetery was the scene of impressive ceremonies: last Thursday, wlnea representativea of the Northern and' Southern; ar mies joined in the unveiling ot a monument to the Confederate dead. There were addresses by General Bennett Young. Commander-in-Chief of Confederate Veterans? General Wahlngton Gardner, Comnnamder-itt Chief Grand ATmy of the Republic; Col. Hilary A. Herbert, former Secretary of the Navy, and Wood row Wilson, President of the Unit ed States. The monument was un veiled by Paul Micou- grandson oJ Col. Herbert, and was formally pre sented to President! Wllsoni by Mrs. Daisy .McLauren Stevens, President Unlted Daughters sofi the Confed eracy. The monument Is the wiQrk of the famous sculptor, Sir MoaeS Ezekiel, who was kni&Med. by Queen Marguerilta of Italy. Sir Moses Is a native of Virginia, having attend ed school at the famous old Virginia Millitary Institute, and was one of the valia,rt youths who so splend ldlv faced the Northern, Legions at the battle rt Hajmarket In the Civil War. The cost of the monu ment was about $50,000. Standing in the center of the Confederate cir cle, it will be graced by both! the Stars and Bars and the Stars and Stripes. The existence of this circle in the nivtioin'sl bur'"g ground is the con summation of the work of Daugh ters of the Confederacy, taken up when President Mclvinley in speech at Atlai ta said- "Now fei the time to bind the natioir, itcgitiher." An act of Congress t aside a portion nf t1f Arli'ilftrn grounds' for the Confederate dead, authorizing the removal from prison cemeteries and gravewrds all over the country of the b idies for reinterment at Ar lington. . . i Obi R-Mic.
