REPUBLICAN AND PROGRESSIVE
CONVENTIONS OPENED TODAY
ft »
A. P. A. Service.
CHICAGO. June 7.—Amidst enthus
iasm of the wildest description, the re
publican and progressive conventions
opened in this city today. Chairman
• Hllles opened republican convention at
Auditorium at eleven o’clock with tin
great hall tilled to overflowing with the
• delegates and a vast crowd of specta
tors.
In his opening address, the tempor
ary chairman asserted that the coun
try was being wearied afresh by th
disappointing and distressing democratic
administration and was calling for re- j
publican relief.
' Before undertaking to discuss the po- j
litlcal Issues of the campaign, the speak- I
er Issued an appeal to the delegates to j
forget the differences which divided the
party In 1S12 and to combine for the best
Interests of the party and the nation.
The speaker then proceeded to an ar
raignment of the democratic adminis
tration and assaulted the democrat ie
party from many points.
His chief plea was. however, for party
reconstruction. The progressives con
vention was called to order by Chairman ,
Murdock at 12:27. The sounding of the ,
chairman's gavel was the signal for a
tremendous demonstration which lasted i
for many minutes.
Although there Is an acknowledged
understanding between republican and
progressive leaders It is by no mean?
certain that there Is any Intention o
unity of action between the two parties
unless the republican unite on Roosevelt
or some other candidate in full accord
with progressive ideas
Efforts to bring the two parties solidly
together have practically failed. Con
ferences between the republican and
progressive leaders which lasted far into
the nifeht were resumed this mottling
but it is not believed that any of them
have proceeded far enough to clarify the
situation, unless the progressives ex
perience u change of heart within the
next several hours. Two of the latest
elements to be brought Into considera
tion today were the Hughes speech In
Washington yesterday touching upon
Amrelcanlsm, which Is said to have
brought down upon the justice the Ire
of Kooscvolt, and the discussion of Sen
ator l.odge as a compromise for the
republican nomination who is likely to
command the suport of Koosevplt.
How Do You Prepare Coffee
' LEI IS HELP YOU
* 1. Use POLET’S FRESH ROASTED, FRESHLY GROUND, PURE
COFFEE.
2. Don’t make coffee like tea---Use sufficient coffee, about oii«
table spoon to a cup.
3. ' Don’t use water that has been boiled befote--use fresh water
4. Don’t allow the coffee t»o continue boiling after same has
come to the boiling point—This spoils good coffee.
5. Don’t expectIPOLET’S FRESH ROASTED COFFEE to be
ready in one ^minute after it has come to the boiling point—WHY?
Because there is>no artificial coloring in our coffees and that flavor,
color and strength must ooze out from the pure coffee kernel—That
is why it takes a little longer than the canned coffees to prepare.
Allow it to stand about 3 minutes after it has come to the boiling point
* *
I TRY THESE RECIPES. I
| CAFE r»E PARIS—Or "FRBMCH
j COFFEE”—Is most generally pre
pared by mixing a cupful of
POLET’S FRESH ROASTED COF
FEE finely ground with a raw agg
and shell In a quart of cold water
and placing the pot over a Uriah
fire, occasionally stirring If until
' the boiling point Is reached, after
| which set the vessel aside to sim
I mer for a few minutes, then pour
j on n cupful of cold water and al
low 10 stand for eight or ten min
utes before serving, using cream
and sugar to suit.
CAFE NOIK-A black ■ after din
ner coffee"—Is prepared better by
adding four ounces of "FORET'S
FRESH ROASTED AND FRESH
ry Around coffee to
a quart of absolutely boiling water
and allow to stand until II reaches
the boiling point, meantime pass
ing It twice nr thrice through the
coffee pot before serving.
CAFE GLACE—OT every six cups of
I’OLET'S FHESH ROASTED COF
FEE freshly made add one egg and j
cream and sweeten well, than mix j
thoroughly and freeze to the con
sistency of cream. i
I’OLET'S EXTRA COFFEE CAN
NOT BE EXCELLED If made In
an electric percolator—use one table
spoon of coffee to one cup of water.
The true flavor of pure coffee is so little known to somej persons
that many who drink It for the first time doubt of its] goodness*—
because]it tastes of its natural flavor.

CHICAGO, June 6.—With the continued
Bilence of Hughes. the outlook for
Roosevelt appears to grow daily brighter
and all present Indications point to the
latret as the choice of the convention
if tlie Justice does not come forward
with some definite hint of his inten
tions.
The Hitchcock plnn of campaign is
causing the old time politicians endless
speculation and every move ot tlit> for
mer Taft manager is being watched with
intense interest.
In a political forcast this morning one
of the leading papers asserts that
Weeks is the largest possibility aside
from Hughes and Roosevelt and cottll
dently predicts his nomination in the
event of the convention being unable
to agree on either of the leaders.
It is stated in other quarters, however,
.■■■i—
that Weeks is daily losing ground and
that Lodge is ready to drop him and go
for Roosevelt. Weeks Is 'said to have
nil enthusiastic supporter in Shackelford,
the Alaska delegate, Gilmore, the oilier
Alaska delegate, Is for Hughes. It is
said, however, that the Alaska repre
sentatives have agreed to vote each
for his own choice until one or the other
drops out. after which botli of the Al
aska' votes will be cast for the survivor.

will not consider any other choice than
Roosevelt us a compromise candidate,

Persistent rumors in circulation here to
day state that Roosevelt will unques
