Candidates First on the Ground
and Begin Lining- Up Their
Followers.
DECORATIONS ARE GOING UP
Joint Committee Agrees to Give Each
Side Six Sergeants-at-Arms to
Seat the Delegates.
Modern Woodmen, including candi
date, delegates and visiting members,
are arriving in the city today for pre
conviction activities preliminary to
the meeting of the state camp Wed
nesday. The playing of close politics
began today and will continue through
to the end of the meeting. Several
candidates have opened hotel head
quarters and their supporters will fel
low Tuesday and Wednesday.
The decorating committee named by
the Rock Island club to act with the
Woodmen early today began setting
op the ornamental arches in Second
avenue. Fifteenth street and Third
avenue. The arches are copiously sup
plied with electric lights and these
will be turned on for the first time to
tight. Name 12 Sergeant-at-Arms.
i
The joint Woodmen committee held
1 meeting Saturday evening at the I
Ne' Harper. It decided to appoint 12
serjeants-at-arms to serve during the
Wedresday sesions. These will be
stationed at the exits and assist in seat
ing delegates and visitors. Six will
serve as representatives of the insur
gents and six for the administration
forces. It was also agreed that four of
the sergeant s-at-arms. two being in
surgents and two regulars, should es
tablish headquarters in the offices of
" the Empire theater to pass on tempor
ary credentials of regular and alter
nate delegates to the convention. The
delegates having credentials, whether
contested or regular, will be given
badges entitling them to seats in the
theaer until the credentials committee
of the convention makes a report. Vis
iting Woodmen and others . ill be ad
mitted to the house only by fic-Ket. The
theater urtil the credentials committee
many more will desire to enter. Fpr
this reason it is essential tilat close
discrimination be made as to who
shall gain admission.
Call to Order at 10.
The convention will be called to or
der at 10 o'clock by W. A. Northcott
of Springfield, state consul, and Rev.
G. H. Sherwood, pastor of Trinity
Episcopal church, will pronounce in
vocation. Mayor H. M. Schriver will
deliver the welcoming address. to
which Mr. Northcott will respond. Im
mediately with the close of Mr. North
colt's talk the credentials committee
will be named and decide contests for
scats in the convention. Much of the
fight of the meeting is expected to
center in the councils of the creden
tials committee. as it is to
pass on qualifications of delegates to
seats according to the factional affilia
tions of the majority members of the :
committee.
Following the 'seating of delegates
Mr. Northcott will call for nomina
tions for the office of state consul and
state clerk. To date no avowed candi-
couiena mere Is no way to
forecast results up to this time except
ing la the cases of those delegates
carrying; actual instructions. "When
once Instructed a Woodman Is rarely
known to turn." said an administra
tion worker today.
"Good for Woodmen."

cine capsule which F. O. Van Galder
has had prepared. The capsule, which
is of the ordinary , gelatine surface,
contains a paper roll bearing on one
side the words, "Good Woodmen. Med

showing the growth of the order are
given. A picture of the tuberculosis
sanitarium at Colorado Springs, con
ducted by the order is printed on the
other tide. These capsules will be
given to all delegates as they enter
the convention.

tration candidate for the office or head
banker, has arrived and taken his res

At the Odd Fellows' hall Sunday af

side the insurgents named several
men to act as substitutes. Those
chosen were: William Wilcox, Peter
Pfaff. William Fee, William Porter,
John Hetter. Frank Maucker and E. J.
