Boss of the Whole Show in Roosevelt Delegation Fight
Chicago dispatch reports preparations to register Roosevelt’s command at the convention nearing completion.

Analysts compare tactics to Hanna’s 1896 McKinley strategy, aiming to keep Roosevelt from the convention. Boston Post notes Taft votes on Gret ballot may alter material results. Fortune teller Herman Bil Mik in Chicago wins a stay of execution awaiting U S Supreme Court appeal.

Bishop Tierney Urges Partial Temprance Pledge for Youths
Ansonia’s readers hear Bishop Tierney advocate a temperance plan for children to abstain until age 25. He argues a 25 year limit steadies habits and aids future drinking decisions, reaching more signers than lifelong vows. The piece notes broader prohibition debates and promotes a special subscription offer.
