Lee, third party state chairman, says he thinks the program for the state convention will be ready to announce about next Thursday or Friday, and that until then he cannot say anything about the arrangements, for the convention. One thing is certain, however, and that is that the convention Is going to cost a lot of money, and nobody has yet been able to find out where the money is coming from to pay for lt. But that somebody Is putting up plenty of money is apparent from the scale on -which- the Bull Moose state headquarters are be-

jing conducted. ... Abon the Pictures. Mr. Lee was asked about what, kind of decorations would be used in the convention hall and he" said he did not know, except that there would be the usual display of flags and buntng. "Whose pictures will be displayed?" b was asked. ' 1 don't know. I am quite - sure, however, that Roosevelt's picture will be there." He said that if Beveridge sent any word before the convention that he Is a third party man his picture will be used. But he said he had not had any word from Beveridge and did not know where he stood. ' Oh Merry Hot ? "Will you put up Taft's picture?" he was asked. "I should say not." , "Or Wilson's?", ' ' "No, Indeed." ' "What about putting pictures of McKlnley and Cleveland up together?" "I don't know about that." "Will you put Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson up together?" "I don't know. Governor Marshall ays if Lincoln was alive today he would be a Democrat." It Is said that In some counties It ?s hard to get men to agree to come to the convention as delegates, and that

It is expected that as soon as the company has received prices the different kinds of material they will decide on the style of building they want and will then ask for bids on Its erection.- Just now they have in mind a style of plant which will combine beauty with substantlability. Their present plan is to construct their buildings of facing brick and steel with tile roof and a lawn to be madfe around it, which would add to the general artistic effect .nil tK(
