Those Who Want Them Should Buy at Once Seven Jopous Days and the first of them Is here. Yescterday afternoon the big center poles of the Chautauqua tent reared their heads on the green at ' 4he corner of Road and Church ' treet.r " r - Within a short time the Chautau iiua tent crew had the grass cover . d "with the brown fields of the -canvas. For a while there was a lacing of cords and a tying of knots, then ropes were, pulled taut and the center of the big canvas (blanket began to rise from the - ground. This morning the Dig tent stands entire and complete ready for the happy - throngs that will All Its seats for the next six Joy ous days and to-day. For a week the feeling has been growing that this year's Chautau qua dofls Indeed offer Chautau--jqnana the best program yet. This os Ifeelia? turned to definite assur ance with the annonucement that Prof. Walter Rauchenbusch of . Rochester had been secured to fill 'the place made vacant by the sud den death of Dr. N. McGee Wa lters, j . ' ; Last night an enthusiastic meet ing of the gurantors was held at the court house and those Vpresent . had the pleasure of meeting per sonally Mr. Hunt Cook, this year's Chautauqua Superintendent. Superintendent Cook made a brief address to the guarantors in which he took occasion to com mend the splendid Chautauqua spirit of Elizabeth City and to com ment on the attractiveness and charm of the picture city of the Pasquotank. "I heard one or your business men saying today, -what Elisabeth City wants it gets' and I tell you that's a spirit that means scomething. Indeed, so favorably has your city impressed our Mr. Curtis, who has charge of the Chautauqua parade, that he has already written to his wife since arriving here that he has found the town which he wants t0 Bettle -down In' In view of the fact that a num ber of season tickets remained un sold Superintendent Cook took authority to grant the guarantors permission to -sell these tickets up until one o'clock this afternoon. Those remaining unsold at that time, however, must be In Mr. Pugh's office or they will be charg ed against the person holding them as sold. BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT TO BE ONE LECTURE SUBJECT Chautauqua Superintendent, Hunt Cook announced lust night at the Hunt, announced last night at the Court House that he would combine two of the lectures assigned him In order to have one afternoon to speak on the boy scout movement ' Mr Hunt Is prominency Identi fied with the boy scout movement in this country and what he hns lo say will he of unusual Interest. HUGHES AND ROOSEVELT BOTH IN, NOMINATION HOUnHO Chicago, 111., June 9 Whether Theodore Roosevelt will unite or di vide the Republican party this year U one of the questions pending as the Progressives and Republicans hold their tumultuous sessions here this week. Nominations in the republican convention began about a half hour before noon, Justice Hughes being the first candidate whose name was put before the convention. The speech of nomination was made by Governor Whitman of New York. Theodore Roosevelt was also put in nomination by the Republicans this afternoon, Senator Fall of New Mexico making the nominating speech. " Four years ago the Republican National Convention, held here, nominated William H. Taft and James Schoolcraft Sherman of N. Y., for president and vice presi dent. Only 728 of the 1,078 accredited delegates voted 344 delegates eith er bolting or withholding their their votes and 6 being absent. Roosevelt adherents withdrew or refused participation In further con vention proceedings when the con vention threw out a number of their contests for delegates. - On the first ballott Taft received 561 votes 'and Roosevelt 107, the remalnedr being scattering. The number necessary to a choice was 640. T. Roosevelt is the man who put the 'ticks' in politics. He's pro bably the most universally known man In the world. People either love T. R. or hate htm and with the most exaggerated heat both. ways. The best newspaper re porter in the world was spoiled when Roosevelt entered political life also a crackerjack press agent, a famous explorer, a crack rifle shot, a professional hunter, an his torian, a cohntry gentleman a sol dier, a cowboy and tew score other things The Roosevelt of 1916 is the same T. R. of 1904 except that he's a little stouter, a little grayer -and maybe a little more sun burned. His teeth still snap; he's still 'dee'.lghted'; things are still 'bully' and there are such things as 'nollycoddles' 'short and ugly' words; men with 'soft hands and hard hearts'; and 'pussyfooting' and 'Byzantine logothetes', In this year of 1916 however, T. R. is no longer the bosom friend of Emperor Hahenzollern, because of Roosevelt's hearty championship of Belgium. To the list of Roosevelt haters might also be added William H Taft Senator Tillman, Williams Barnes,, Bellamy Storer and a few more with , whom he has had historic set- tos. Roosevelt's platform is pre paredness, with a capital T'j.'Aroer lcanlzation' of the people; unifica tion of endeavor and social Better ment. Heart and soul the Pro greslve National Party Is with him. FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLAR ORCHESTRIAN AT ALKRAMA People who went to the AlUrama last night experienced a pleasant surprise. They took seats without observing anything unusual; but when the music started up they sat up and took notice. Some of them began to crane their necks to see where the new orchestra wns and there wasn't a soul In the pit.
