Booker T. Washington Draw. n Large
Crowd to His Address on the Advance
Of the COl0red Man

Charleston, S. c., July 12.-The
members of the National Educational
association put in a busy day yester-
DAY, two sessions of the general Or
ganization and many meetings of the
departments taking up their time.
Booker I. Washington, the negro edu.
Gator, drew the largest crowd of the
convention at the Auditorium at
night, speaking on the advance of
the colored man along educational
lines, The nominating committee will
meet at noon to-day and decide upon
candidate for president. California
is expected to present the name of
Prof. Forshay, of Los Angeles, but
the sentiment of many of the dele
gates is that the honor should go
east. Prof. j. NJ. Green, Of Trenton,
y. j., has many friends anil, although
he is not pressing his candidacy, the
chair is likely to go to him. Prof.
Parker, of Chicago, will probably be
made vice president. Cincinnati and
Detroit are claiming the next conven-
ton. The matter will be considered
to-day by the board Of directors. st.
Louis has put in a bid for the conven-
tion in 1908, the year of its exposition.

The Three State Conventions at

The VICE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION,
At One Time 1t Threa,ensda Split between
the Democrats and Populists-Messrs.
Harrington and Edmlston's Wars-
ings- Democrats Yield

Lincoln, Neb, July 13.-Nebrask,
fusionists, in state conventions, com
pleted their work at $50 o'clock YES
terday evening. The ticket follows
Governor, William A. Poynter, o
Boone county, populist; lieutenan
governor, L. A. Gilbert, Of York coun
ty, silver republican,; treasurer
s Il. Howard, of Holt county
Populist' attorney general, Will.
u. Oldham, of Buffalo county,
democrat; auditor, H. S. Griess, OF
Clay county, populist; land com.
missioner, P. J. Carey, of Saunders
county, populist.
The three state central committees,
to whom had been delegated the Sc
lection of presidential electors, re-
ported the following before the con-
vention adjourned, and their action
WIS ratified: Frank Ransom, j. H.
Felber, w. A, Garrett, W. G. Swan.
ieter EbbeSnn, Robert Oberfelder, L.
M. Wente, j. Hughes.
The conventions were the most re-
markable since fusion became "a factor
in NebraskE politics. National poll
tics was injected into the proceedings
and at one time threatened split be-
tween the democrats and populists.
The question was over the indorse-
ment OF Stevenson for vice president
by the populists, purely a sentimental
one, but it provoked storm in that
convention which practically blocked
all business from II o'clock Wednes-
day night up to the time a recess was
taken at five o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
The excitement developed by the
dispute over the apportionment OF
state offices among the three parties
was heightened by the springing of |
the vice presidential question, and it |
reached the climax at four o'clock YES
ferday morning, when NJ. +. Harring-
on, one of the leading populiSts of
he west, warned the convention that
{ would wreck the party if they in
lorsed the Withdrawal of Towne from
he ticket and conceded to other
demands. Mr.. Harrington
sserted that the way to increase the
niddle-of-the-road movement was to
brow Towne over and put in his
lace one who had never been in SYM
athy with the populists. He said
owns withdrawal would lose North
'akota. South Dakota and Kansas and
he fusionisls would have to fight for
heir lives in Nebraska.
]. H. Edmiston, chairman of the
opulist state central committee and
ce chairman of the national commit
'e, was even more radical. He de.
AIRED that If the populists did not
