PARADA"
To Be Given for the Benefit of the Y
M. C A. June 25, 26 and 27
"Parada" as given here In town ten
years ago will be remembered Dy
many but this time will present many
new numbers, In fact nearly the en
tire production is new. There are 17
different numbers. Each Is varied In
character, there are fancy dances,
song hits, drills, tableaux and sos.

classes are participated in by the well
known young people of the town. Par
ada Is In four acts. The first act op
ens with the spritely fairies, followed
In quick succession by dainty daisies,.
Jaunty automobile girls, cute little
Japs, the grotesque newbboys and the
act closes with the beautiful floral
arch.
Act 2 A typical gipsy camp scene,
with its dashing glpsey chorus, eleven
specialties and rollicking dance.
Act 3 A picturesque camp scene
with appropriate and patriotic music,
The last act shows the interior of a
Moorish palace and Is opened with the
lively Parnsol girls, with Miss Hudson
as soloist, followed by the Intricate
dance of the Egyptian Belles. The
sextette chaperoned by Mrs E V Brad
ford, Miss Bingham and Miss Root Is
one of the most taking numbers and
the following Vanity Fair number Is
a fine one. The flag drill Is sure to
dance its way into popular favor. Af
ter this comes the comedy numlier of
the Mandays, chaperoned by Mrs.
Thatcher and Mrs. Norton and to con
elude a delightful program comes the
elaborate and intricate drill of the
Hussars. Parada lacks the usual hit
ches of most amateur productions for

PLANKS FAVORING
AIIII I WICTIOII
GO THROUGH
Committee Agreed Upon Modi
fied Form by 35 to 16
COMPROMISE WAS ACCEPTED
Declares That No Injunction or Tem
porary Order Should Bo Issued In "
Extreme Cases.
- Chicago, June 18. The biggest prob
lem before the resolutions committee
of the Republican National convention
that of the antl InJ-.nctlon plank, wan
disposed of at 2 o'clock this morning
and the platform was then ready for
the convention as it stands. The anti-
Injunction plank demanded by the Taft
interests is In a more modified form
han at llrst presented before the sub
committee of the resolutions commit
tee and is a sort of compromise be
tween the Taftltes on one Bide and
the conservative element on the other.
It Is believed the compromise will
be satisfactory to the labor interests.
The plank was Inserted In the plat
form by a vote of 3f to 16, South Car
olina not recorded. .
Whether or not there will be a fight
ou the lloor of the convention remains
to be seen but It will probably go the
way of the rejwrt of the credentials
committee yesterday and be adopted
without any opposition on the part of
the allies.
The compromise resolution upholds
the Judiciary and suggests changes in
the procedure of the federal courts
with respect to the Issuance of the
weight of Injunction and believes that
procedure of the court In such Instan
ces should be more accurately denned
by the statutes.
As the platform stands It declares
for tariff revision modeled directly ui
on the Iowa and Ohio platforms and
providing for revision of special ses
sion of congress immediately after in
auguration.
The convention opened at 10:17 o'
clock and at 10:20 Senator Hopkins of
Illinois, chairman of the committee on
platform presented the report of that
committee and It was immediately ta
ken up for consideration.
The first storm or applause was
caused at the first mention of the
name of Roosevelt by Senator Hop
kins. Ihirlng reading of the report of
the resolutions committee on the plat
form the great crowd that filled every
seat was on fire with uubounded en
thusiasm. The air seemed charged
with nervousness and ready at any
moment for another Roosevelt ova
tion. Chicago, June IS. Yesterday was
Roosevelt day at the Republican Nat
ional convention, prompted by an elo
quent tribute from Senator Ixdge the
permanent chairman. The galleries
paid their own tribute In their own
way, had their own stampede and
shouted themselves hoarse for 46 min
utes with the slogan, "Pour, Four,
Four Years Morel"
But the demonstration, prolonged
and enthusiastic as it was, gave no
sign of any movement In the conven
tion to nominate Roosevelt. It was
the tribute of the throng to the presi
dent's popularity and the emphatic
answer to the vicious campaign waged
against him by selfish Interests. Sen
ator ledge's splendid speech caused
the whirlwind.
'The result Is that the president Is
the best abused and the most popular
man In the United States today.
That Is the sentence which acted as
a burning fuse to dry powder. Instant
ly the delegates responded with wav
ing flags, cheers and the clapping of
hands. The wave reached from the
front seats to the sides and rear, and
then to the galleries. When It died
down In one end of the Coliseum It
would break out somewhere else, surg
ing over and through the massed spec
tators like sea billows against the
rocks.
Five minutes, tenmlnutes passed.
The senator from Massachusetts had
had enough, although the demonstra
tion was not perhaps entirely unex
pected by the permanent chairman.
Thero was serious business to do, how
ever. He raised his hand and the gal
leries responded with good natdred de
fiance increasing the applause.
Another five minutes nnd still an
other went by, and the-roar was worse
fthan ever. If It was a hurricane be
fore, now It was a cyclone. If a gen-'
erous shower at first, now it was a
cloudburst. The Taft men from Ohio
after a little looked doubtful, but soon
saw they had nothing to fear; the del
egates after standing on chairs and
waving hats and canes for ten minutes
had resumed their seats, but those
transformed dervishes in the galleries
they sent down volleys of cheers, yells
and whistles till It seemed as if the
roof would blow off.
Up to the platform Senator Lodge
strolled about like the father of trip
lets, resigned and half bored at the pro
longation of the tumult. The baud, the
willing band, came to the fore with
"The Slar Spangled Banner," hoping
It would soothe Borne of the patriotic
Hottentots In the galleries. It did
nothing of the sort. They "let out
some more links." "Pour, Four Four
years more!" was the answer to the
chairman whenever he raised bis hand
Then came the teddy bear. Just
who It was inspired to lug one of those
large sized playthings on to the stage
Is not recorded but there he was, rais
ed aloft, his btarshlp folded down in
trout, like a jackkniie without a
spring.
At 2:42 o clock after 46 minutes of
tumult. Senator I)dge resumed, amid
a deafening racket, a speech which im
mensely pleased the convention.
LIBRARY HALL CONTROVERSY

B. AND B. 7; PROCTOR H. S. 2
Fassett's Clever Pitching Won the
Game" for Seminary
Manchester, June 18. In the final
baseball game of the season on the lo
cal diamond yesterday afternoon Burr
and Burton seminary defeated Proctor
high school by the score of Tto 2. The
victory was chiefly due to - Fassett's
clever pitching for the home team.
Only three safe hits were made off his
delivery during the nine innings while
he struck out fourteen men and passed
four. King who was on the rubber for
Proctor was touched up freely, al
though he fanned eleven men and gave
four bases on balls.
The seminary team took the lead In
the third inning when Passett brought
in three runs by his hit for three ba
ses. Gorut'B brilliant catch of a line
drive in this inning cut off two runs
by Proctor. In the seventh and eighth
the home team bunched hits and add
ed four runs to its total, while Proc
tor was only able to cross the plate
in the sixth and again in the ninth
when Donnelly hit for two sacks. The
score by Innings:

Anonymous Circular Attempt to
Beat "Slate."
STANTON CROWD ORGANIZED
Prouty Boomers Appear to Laok Head
and Plan But Interest Arousod Will
Bring Out a Crowd.
Local politicians are on the anxious -
seat today over the Republican cau
cus tonight. A Stanton . slafe had
been fixed up and it was expected to
go through like a greased pig In a par
lor. When people came down town
this morning they found the following
circular posted all over town and left
at the doors of houses:
TO THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS OF
BENNINGTON
You are hereby warned that
A Caucus is to be Held To-Nlght
The BOSSES will be there with
lists all prepared. Come and BALK
their plans by electing and Instruct
ing your delegates to
Vote for the man of the PEOPLE
Hon. George H. Prouty. ,
COME ONE, COME ALL.
Where the dodger came from was a
mystery and this added to the interest
but the general effect seems to have
been to stir the Stanton men to great
er activity and they are straining
every nerve to get out all their
strength.
There Is a strong undercurrent In
town for Prouty but It lacks direction.
The outlook In this county la that
Stanton will have a considerable ma
jority but not as many as was figured
a few days ago. The county has 48
