Regina Crawford, the daughter
of slave parents and the first Ne
gro woman student to enter the
University of California, in an in
terview with reporter yesterday
told the story of her struggle for
an education. Because her family
did not believe much in the edu-
cation of a girl, she had to pick
cotton in the south and was never
allowed to go to school regularly
until she was 49, Now she wants
an A. B. degree she declares that
she stick to study until she is old
and gray until she gets it. Tell
ing some of her life history before
the Woman's Congregational
Home Missions association in the
Park Street church, size spoke of
not being able to finish her edu-
cation. How much money do
you require?" came voice from
the floor. Five hundred dollars"
was the Negro girls reply. The
money has been promised. This
is the girls own story.

through progressive Republicanism'
tbe citizens turned to the Democratic
party.
Bass. Insurqent, Wins in New
Hampshire.
In the first election in Maine the
Republican organization was con-
trolled by the old, standpat RepuDll-
can organization, while the Demo
cratic platform and the Democratic
candidates appealed to the progress
i've element of the community. The
standpat Republicans were repudiated
by the people, and the Democratic
candidates. boldly declaring for pro-
gressive principles, were triumphantly
elected
The Republicans of New Hampshire,
led by Robert p Bass, an insurgent'
and fighting for true progressive prin'
ciples. held their state in the Republi-
can column without any appreciable
gain by the Democratic party in that
state.
What happened in these elections
was repeated in nearly every state IN
the Union in the elections of Novem-
ber Sth.
In Ohio Warren Harding, reaction
arv candidate, in spite of Mr. Roose-
velt's support, in spite of the admins
tration's support, in spite of Boss Cox
and Senator Foraker's support, and in
snite of the liberal contributions OF
Standard oil was overwhelmingly de-
defeated by Governor Harmon, a
Democrat.
In Iowa the Republican party was
led by Senator Cummins, sincere
and uncompromising insurgent, and in
Iowa the citizens indorsed sincere pro-
2reSS1Ve anu
the Republican party to power in the
state.
Draper, New Haven Road Repre-
sentative, Defeated in Mas
sachusetts.
In Massachusetts,, Mr.. Draper, SUD-
servient to the New Haven railroad,
was nominated for governor, by the
reactionary Republican element led by
that eminent standpatter, Senator
Lodge. In Massachusetts the Demo
Gratis nominated Mr.. Foss, progress
i've, on a progressive platform, and
Mr.. Draper was overwhelmingly de-
feated.
In California a progressive Repub-
lican was opposed by a progressive
Democrat. Mr.. Bell, the progressive
Democrat, made an excellent run, but
the citizens are apparently satisfied
The Colorado statesman., 1910-11-26

with Republicanism when it is suffi-
ciently progressive and Mr.. Johnson,
the Republican, won the electioun.
In New Jersey that splendid pro-
gressive Republican, Governor Fort
was not renominated by his party. A
reactionary Republican was nominated
in his place and as a result Woodrow
Wilson, Democrat, was elected by
large majority.
In Tennessee, a Democratic state,
MIR. Hooper, progressive Republican,
was elected over the candidate of the
machine Democracy.
Roots Law Partner and Roosevelt
Go Down.
In New York a Republican conven-
tion. in which Mr. Roosevelt stood
side by side with Senator Depew and
Senator Root, nominated Senator
Roots law partner as its candidate
for governor Back of Mr.. Stimson
stood Mr.. Roosevelt, progressive or re-
dictionary as suits his convenience or
with Boss Cox, fellow-laborer in the
CORPORATION vineyard with Senator
Foraker and Senator Lodge and Gov
ernor Draper. Back of Mr.. Roosevelt
stood Senator Root, consistent stand
patter and business agent in public
life of the criminal corporations. Back
of Senator Root stood the ghost OF
"Boss" Tweed, that original Democrat
ic standpatter and political agent OF
criminal corporations, in defense OF
whom Mr.. Root had begun his pet ca
leer.
Personally 1 supported progressive
Democracy wherever l found it, but
in New York could not support either
the Republicanism of Root or Roose-
Welt or the Democracy of Boss Muir
ply. | am confident, however, that
great many citizens who voted for the
Democratic ticket in New York at this
election did not do it so much to in
dorse the Democracy of Tammany
Hall as to repudiate the Republican
ism of Root and Roosevelt.
Socialism Looms UP in the
Distance.
Neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor the coun-
try should misconstrue Mr.. Roosevelts
defeat as a check in the fight for pro-
gressive popular government, or as
victory for reactionary policies, either
Republican or Democratic.
The Republican party of Ohio was
beaten where Mr.. Roosevelt stood
with Boss Cox and Senator Foraker.
The Republican party of Massachu-
sets was beaten when Mr.. Roosevelt
stood with Senator Lodge and Gov
ernor Draper. The Republican party
of New York was beaten where Mr..
Roosevelt stood with Mr.. Depew.
Should the Democrats prove faith
less to the trust which the progress
ives of the country have reposed in
them, an insurgent Republican party
will promptly be placed in power.
And, should the great, progressive
sentiment of the nation fail to find
sufficient recognition in either the
Democratic party or the Republican
party it will turn, either to third
party of judicious persuasiveness, or
to the extreme radicalism of the So
cialist party, as a means for the ex-
preston of its views.

Philadelphia, Nov. 16.-Phila-
delphia has won the distinction of
electing the first colored represen-
tative in the State Legislature of
Pennsylvania in the person of Mr..
Harry w. Bass, our well known
lawyer and highly respected citi-
zen. Mr.. Bass was born in West
Chester County, Pa, on November
A, 1866, and attended the public
schools in that city. Entering
Lincoln University, he graduated
