BUSY PREPARING PLATFORM
Gathering at Chicago Romarkable One,
Free From Scenes That Characterize
Ordinary Conventions Earnestness
and Enthusiasm of Delegates Inspir
ing Principles of National Progres
sives Outlined by T. R.
Chicago, Aug. 0. When the Nntlonnl
Progressive party convention wns called
to order shortly after noon today It
was generally agreed that the nomi
nees or president and vice president
respectively would he Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt and Governor Hiram John
son of California. There was the
greatest enthusiasm over the ticket,
and the prediction was freely made hy
the delegates that it will be a winner.
With F. J. Heney, Johnson fought
to a successful Issue the graft prosecu
tions In San Francisco which pent Abo
Ruof to Jail. As a candidate for gov
ernor ho fought the Southern Pacific
Railroad company. Ho made a seven
months' campaign of the state, going
to every hamlet and village in his au
tomobile. The first inkling the vil
lagers and farmers would have of his
approach would be the sound of cow
bells strung on his automobile. He
made his campaign on one issue. Near
ly every speech closed as follows:
"And remember this, my friends.
"I am going to be the next governor
of California, and when I am I am
going to kick out of this government
William F. Herrln and the Southern
Pacific rnllrond. Good night."
Elected by Splendid Plurality.
It was some time before his cam
paign aroused any serious attention.
Then it was too late to head him off.
On the Republican primaries he had
more votes than both his leading oppo
nents. He was elected by a plurality
of 2-J.350.
Governor Johnson is very much of
the same style of a campaigner as
Colonel Roosevelt. Immediately after
this convention Colonel Uoosevelt Is
to plan nn Itinerary of the southern
states, and In due time he is to pene
trate the west while the Progressives
of the middle and New England states
are to be visited by Governor John
eon. Governor Johnson Is a strong sup
porter of woman's suffrage. It was
under his administration that the wo
men of California obtained the suf
frage and voted for the first time this
year at the presidential primaries. All
the women of California havo desired
his nomination for vlco president
T. R. Delivers Keynote Speech.
Following the reports of the differ
ent committees Colonel Roosevelt was
introduced and got a tremendous ova
tJon. When order was finally introduc
ed he delivered his keynote speech,
which, in part, was as follows:
Mr. Roosevelt's Bpeech struck a key
note for his followers and supporters In
tho new purty. Ho laid down the plan
of battle to bo wauol by tho National
Progressive party. Ho discussed those
principles under twelvo subdlvlslqns
numely, tho helplessness of the old par
ties, tho right of tho people to rule, the
courts and tho people, constructlvo con
trol of tho trusts, rights of tho wogo
workcr, the furmer, tho tariff, tho high
cost of living, currency, conservation,
Alaska and International affairs.
Tho two Old parties, ho said, are husks
with no real soul within elthor, divided
on artificial lines, boss ridden and priv
ilege controlled, each a jumblo of Incon
gruous elements and neither daring- to
speak out wisely und fearlessly what
should bo bald on tho vital Issues of tho
day As opposed to this Incongruity
nnd Insincerity of action ho asserted that
the National Progressive platform will
be a contruct with the people, with defi
nite and concrete provision to be carried
out If tho people ratify the contract on
election day as exactly and honestly "as
If It were actually enforceable under the
law."
The Courts and the People,
Under this head Mr. Roosevelt reiter
ates his now well known vlows regard
ing tho courts. "Tho American people
and not tho courts aro to determlno tr.lr
own fundamental policies." This docs
not mean that tho people aro to Interfere
In cases which Involve merely questions
of Justice between Individuals except
that "means should bo devised for mak
ing It easier than at present to get rid
of an Incompetent Judge." Hut when a
Judicial decision involves an Interpreta
tion of what tho people mean by the con
stitutions which they havo framed and
laws passed by tho people aro nullified
because the courts say those laws are
contrary to tho peoplo's will as express
ed In their constitution there must bo a
"reference to tho people of tho publlo
effect of such decisions under forms se
curing full deliberation," to the end that
the people may rectify this alleged de
fect in their constitution by a popular
vote Having all the force of a constitu
tional amendment "Our purpose Is not
to Impugn the courts, but tp emancipate
them from a position whenever they
stand finally in the way of social Justk.
ATTITUDE OE
WILL 60 AS
ALBERT J. BEVERLDGE.
Former Senator Temporary Chair
man of Progressive Convention,
1912, by American Press Association.
I am well nnure that every up
holder of privilege, every hired agent or
Beneficiary of the spouiul Interests, In
cluding many well meaning parlor re
formers, will denounco all this as social
ism or 'anarchy' tho samo terms they
used In tho past In denouncing the move
ments to control tho railways and to
control public utilities. As a matter of
fact the propositions I make constitute
relther anarchy nor socialism, but on
the contrary, a corrective for socialism
and an antidote to anarchy."
Constructive Control of the Trusts.
In addition to punishment for wrong
doing by the trusts, tho Imperative de
mand Is effective and complcto regula
tion. Tho views of President Van Hlso
of the University of Wisconsin In his
scientific work on trust regulation aro In
harmony with the program of tho Na
tional Progressives. "The present con
ditions of business cannot bo accepted
as satisfactory." The reason for this Is
explained. In Mr. Roosevelt's opinion, by
the fact that "those dealing with the
subject have attempted to divide Into
two camps, each as unwise as the oth
er." One camp has fixed its attention
only on tho need for prosperity "pros
perity to the big man on top, trusting to
their mercy to lc something leak through
to the mass of their countrymen below,
which, In effect, means that there should
be no attempt to rcgulato the ferocious
scramble In which greed and cunning
reap tho largest Towards." Tfce other
camp has so fixed Its attention upon
the injustices of tho distribution of pros
perity, "omitting all consideration of
having something to distribute, and advo
cates action which. It Is true, would
abolish most of the Inequalities of the
distribution of prosperity, by only tho un
fortunately simple process of abolishing
tho prosperity itself." The tendency of
those now In control of the Republican
party Is to give special privileges to "big
business" and to correct tho ovll of such
a course when they become crying by
sporadic lawsuits under tho anti-trust
law. Tho tendency of the Democrats,
Judged both by their record In congress
and by tho Democratic platform. Is to
abolish all business of any size or effi
ciency, on tho ground that all bigness Is
badness and littleness and weakness a
sign of virtue. "What is needed Is action
directly the reverse of that thus confus
edly indicated."
The Farmer.
"The country life commission should bo
revived with greatly Increased powor; Its
abandonment was a severe blow to our
people. The welfare of the farmer Is a
basic need of this nation." Tho country
school Bhould bo brought In touch with
country life. For this reason tho Pro
gressives approve of government co-operation
with tho farmer to make the farm
more productive. Co-operativo associa
tions of farmers both for tho production
and the selling of agricultural products
should be oncouragod. "So long as tho
furmer leaves co-operative activities with
their profit sharing to tho city man of
business, so long will tho foundations of
wealth bo undermined and the comforts
of enlightenment be Impossible In the
country communities.
"In even' respect this nation has to
learn the lessons of olllclcncy In produc
tion and distribution and of avoidance of
wasto and destruction. Wo must de
velop and Improvo Instead of exhausting
our resources. It Is entirely possible- by
Improvements In production. In the avoid
anco of wasto and In business methods
on the part of the farmer to give him
an increased income from his farm, while
at tho same tlmo reducing to tho con
sumer tho prlco of tho articles raised on
tho farm. Important although education
Is everywhere. It has a special Import
ance In tho country. Tho country school
must lit the country life. In tho country,
as elsewhere, education must be hitched
up with llfo. Tho country church nnd
tho country Young Men's and Young Wo
men's Christian associations havo great
parts to play. Tho farmers must own
and work their own land. Steps must be
taken at once to put a stop to the tend
ency toward absentee landlordism and
tenant farming."
Tho Tariff.
On the tariff he sayB: "I believe In a
protective tariff, but I bohvo In It as a
principle unapproached from a standpoint
of tho Interests of tho wholo people, and
not as a bundle of references to bo given
favorite Individuals." Ho believes tho
American jeoplo favor tho principle of a
protective tariff, but aro in rebellion
against tho wrongdoing and unjust ap
plication of that policy and the abuses in
post legislation. "It Is not merely tho
tariff that should be revised, but tho
method of tariff making and of tariff ad
ministration." "Tho first step should be
the creation of a permanent commission
of nonpartisan exports" of "ample pow
ers" to secure "exact and reliable In
formation." "Tho present tariff board Is
entirely Inadequate In point of powers
reposed In It and scope of work under
taken." The tariff commission In Ger
many affords a splendid model.
Story of Remarkable Gathering.
Chicago, Aug. 0. Tho first Bosslon of
tho National Progressive party In the
Coliseum was repleto with human in-
X2
NEW PARTY;
RUNNING MATE
torcst. There was a homeliness, n
heartiness, a stlrrlngness in all Its fea
tures which stamped the body ns one
of the most remarkable gatherings of
receut times. Thero was all the para
phernal of a national convention, and
yet tln.ro was a seeming absence of in
trigue and the chicanery of political
gatherings. Some of Its features re
sembled n tremendous religious revivnl.
In some respects it was n singing con
vention. It was n coming together of
hundreds of men nnd women who hnd
never participated In a gigantic politi
cal gathering.
Many had never seen each other, and
yet it was a neighborly nnd utterly
friendly convention. In the prellinlna
rles the delegates visited and became
acquainted. Southern men nnd women
grasped the hand of their northern
brothers and sisters, nnd the eastern
folks sought out their comrades in this
movement from tho Rocky mountains
nnd fnr western states. The Coliseum
was adorned with tho decorations used
In the Republican national convention.
In addition, there were great crayons
of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln,
Hamilton nnd Jnckson. Then, too, tho
steel girders were enfolded with Amer
ican flags, and many of the standards
of tho states were entwined with the
national colors.
Many delegations had for nn emblem
great rings In the center of which
wcro the familiar Roosevelt sombrero,
Indicative of the saying of the ex-prcsl-dent,
"My hnt is in the ring." Clus
tered here nnd there in the delegations
were experienced politicians. Tho
Pennsylvnnlnns, led by William Fllnn.
Daunted bandnna handkerchiefs, the
gonfalon of tho National Progressives.
Th6 delegation, with Fllnn at their
head, marched into tho hall in a body
singing a song of their own composi
tion to tho tune of "John Brown's
Hody." The chorister of the Pennsyl
vania delegation was Philip J. Barber
of Erie, a candidate for congressman at
largo. He said that every man In the
delegation was a singer except Fllnn.
Audience of Nearly 10,000.
Other delegates, men nnd women,
wore bandanas about their throats,
while still others used them as hat
bands. There were certainly 1,200 del
egates nnd alternates in tho convention.
The galleries were almost completely
filled. The audience, including tho del
egates and alternates, numbered from
8,000 to 10,000. While awaiting the
opening proceedings the band, frequent
ly accompanied by the Veteran Fifo.nnd
Drum corps of Chicago, played stirjlng
melodies, most of them suggestiyo of
war times. In turn tho great assem
blage sang Julia Ward Howe's "Battle
nyinn of the Republic."
Tho scenes between times were tu
multuous with cheers and cries for
Roosevelt It wns not a noisy conven
tion in the noisy sense. It was a hap
py, an enthusiastic gathering. It was
an assemblage with uu intense objec
tive. From every point of the nation men
nnd women, nonofllcoholdora without
the promise of political rownrd, volun
tarily had come to Chicago to take part
in tills convention nnd to assist in the
launching of n now party, tho success
of which, its friends believe, will place
tho country on a higher political, moral
and social level.
Tho women delegates from New York,
California, Illinois, Massachusetts and
Rhodo iBland especially enjoyed their
presence at a nutlonal convention, the
first thoy hnd ever had attended. They
had boon escorted to tho convention by
tho Chicago women's clubs, 2,000
strong, headed by a great band and
Mrs. Goorgo Bass and Miss Jane Ad
dams. George W. Perkins, who is not n dele
gate to tho convention, but Is taking
Uio liveliest interest in Its nffalrs, was
on tho platform beside Senator Dixon,
and Mr. Perkins proved himself to be
as glad a songster as any man pres
ent To the men nnd women engaged
In tho now party movomeut who had
never attended a national convention
overy step iu tho proceedings elicited
curiosity, intense interest nnd the pro
foundest enthusiasm.
While thero were quite a number of
negro delegates from the northern
Btates tho convention wns essentially
a white man's convention. And It
may bo stated, without the slightest
deslro to resort to unhappy criticism,
tiint tho white delegates paid little or
no attention to tho negro delegates, tho
nearly so much ns Ib observed In Re
publican nntlonal conventions.

SPORTING NOTES.
"Swatfest" with a ' Comedy of
Errors" sandwiched In, is the story
of Saturday's game here between
Forest City and Honesdale; in fact
there was more good solid hitting
done than has been seen here in
many a day. None of the pitchers
seemed to have anything to fool the
batters. Hessllng started on the
rubber for Honesdale with a lamo
arm and for two Innings was ham
mered unmercifully. When Brelten
steln took up the burden he had a
big lead to overcome but as Carpen
ter, the Forest City pitcher, was
being touched up pretty lively by
the locals, It looked for a time as
though we would win out.
We should havo celebrated the re
turn of Leslie Brader with a victory,
as his presence adds a great deal to
tho strength of the team.
The feature of the home team's
work was the batting of "Buck"
Faatz, who made four hits, the first
four times at bat, and played "Casey
at the Bat" In the ninth with the
bases full. For Forest City tho field
ers, Strattford and Wodlscheck, did
some great work. The final score
was 17 to 15 In favor of Forest City.
