BADER TWINS PRESENT PETITION TO GOVERNOR.

Many Winamac Citizens Signed Petition for Parole of Clinton L. Bader _ —Action Deferred.

The 16-year-old twin daughters of Clinton L. Bader, who was convicted in the Jasper county circuit for presenting a false claim to the board of commissioners, and sentenced to the penitentiary, where he is now serving, personally went to Governor Marshall with their petition asking the release of their father. They were accompanied by John L. Burton, of Winamac, who discussed the petition before the parole board, urging Bader’s release. Governor Marshall said to the board. “I do not believe* Bader could be punished more should he be confined 1,000 years. He could suffer no more than he did at the time of his conviction.”

While the petition was being considered the two girls sat in the room and wept bitterly when they learned of the hardships of prison life. Thier mother suffered a stroke of paralysis after their father was imprisoned and is now a patient in a Chicago hospital. The board took no action on the petition, holding it over until today. The governor himself appeared with the girls before the board and asked that the petition be considered carefully. He suggested that a member of the board be sent out to make investigation of the merits of the petition, for his release. It was brought out at the hearing that'Bader was a member of the state legislature as a democrat In 1905 and that he has many prominent political friends in the 1c party at this time.

Special to Republican. Baltimore, M(L, Jane 26—The rules committee was ready to report to the convention at 2 o’clock this afternoon but the convention did not wait for the report but adjourned until 8 o’clock this evening. The decision to take a recess of six hours was occasioned when It was learned that William Jennings Bryan had dominated the work of the committee and secured a rule providing that the platform should not be adopted until after the nomination was made. This would make It possible to adopt a progressive platform even though a reactionary candidate was nominated. It Indicates that there is apt to be a big lot of trouble yet in harmonizing the factions within the party. Senator Gore, the blind senator from Oklahoma, addressed the convention at length, urging the adoption of a progressive platform and the naming of a progressive candidate. There was io demonstration of any kind today.

The fight to prevent the seating of , Alton B. Parker as temporary chairman was carried by Bryan and the • progressives into the convention Tuesday and again Bryan lost out to the reactionaries and by a vote of 579 to 510 Parker again was made temporary chairman. Boss Murphy was in command and the steam roller worked perfectly. The solid Ohio delegation voted for Parker and this is Interpreted to mean that a mighty effort will be made to nominate TJovernor Harmon. Every effort is being made to create 1 Harmony and Parker wants Bryan to h ead the platform committee. Parker used all the irony he could command in roasting the Chicago contention. He said they wanted no such terms as “liar,” “thief,” “corruptionist,” and “traitor” in their convention. Parker was 'very complimentary throughout his talk and urged that the convention stand by Bryan and make him chairman of the resolutions committee. \ If the reactionaries should happen to name either Harmon or Underwood and the effort to enact a progressive platform should fail, there is reason to believe that Roosevelt and Bryan might combine on a progressive basis and inaugurate a third party.

Mrs. A. C. Pancoast and daughter, Oka, left for Woodstock, Vermont, today to visit with Mr. and Halstead and see her new grandson. Mrs. Pancoast and Oka will travel to various points in the east, and will remain indefinitely in the Green - . ‘ We Umdle repairs for the, Deering, Champion, Milwaukee, Plano and Osborne harvesting machines. :'. v HAMILTON A KELLNEt ‘... ■ ■ - ■ <.

GREAT BILL AT GAYETY FOR NEXT WEEK.

Six Head-Line Artists, The Favorites of the Vaudeville World Booked By Manager Barnes.

Ben F. Barnes, manager of the Gayety Airdome, has . entrusted the preparations for the 4th of July gala week program to Earle Reynolds, who

went to Chicago Monday and saw the acts and arranged for them to come here. Mr Reynolds is personally acquainted with all the first class vaudeville artists in the country and knows “what’s what” in that line. The show, as arranged by Mr. Reynolds, will be, without doubt, the best vaudeville ever produced in this section, and very probably there are more “head-liners” on the program for one show than any ever given in Indiana. Mr. Reynolds has seen every one of the acts and by wide experience his judgment as to their popularity could be unfailing. This show alone is worth more than all the carnival attractions combined and those who have never had the opportunity to see real classy artists in action, should come here to see the favorites of the vaudeville world.

The Al Kllest Orchestra has been engaged for the big week. It is absolutely the best vaudeville orchestra in Chicago. Al Kliest, who for years was the director of the Majestic orchestra in Chicago, will personally be here, commencing Monday, to conduct the orchestra all week. Wednesday night, and Thursday afternoon and night, the full orchestra of solo players will furnish the music part of the great “Gayety” show. ■ Three hundred reserve -seats for Wednesday night, and Thursday afternoon and night will be on sale at the box office of the Gayety theatre the coming Friday morning. The program is as follows, with morfe to be added:

Reynolds and Donegan, in their Coronation dancing and skating act. Huff ord and Chain, the Colored Parson and the Minstrel man. Absolutely the funniest act fever seen in Chicago or any other city. ...J_ (Marie Obermeyer, Chicago’s favorite singing comedian. The lady who sang “Moonlight Bay” at the convention hall and who made the republican convention ring with thunders of applause. Miss Mildred Nelson, the Lady Baritone. The lady who sings to beat the band all popular song hits of tb£ day. The Dancing Pirouettes, little ladies who dance.
