All Working Hard.

For three solid days and nights now
the business has proceeded without
pause. AS fast as men have arrived
they have been drafted and set at work
on one phase or another of the enormous
task Yet the more recruits secured the
faster the work piled up.
Nothing but the zeal of crusaders
could have carried the organization TO
the point wnere II was found by the
new national committee when it went
into session today To pass upon the
acts of the organizers. Yet the almost
total exhaustion of the men who have
the party upon its feet did not prevent
them from glowing with enthusiasm as
they made their reports. From every
state, with the single exception of
South Carolina the records were
brought 10 the national committee in
such shape as to indicate IA completed
and virile organization ready and eager
for the battle with the old parties for
The supremacy.
Some delicate questions had to be set
tied by the new national committee.
Among these was that of the southern
negro and the standing he Is to be ac-
corded IN the progressive party. Another
Was the system to be followed in raising
funds for the campaign. Still another
was the troublesome matter of the states
desiring not TO cut entirely away from
the republi party and urging that they
be permitted 10 proceed by the stub-end
ticket method. Other questions almost
equally serious Were involved but the
proyis cnal national committee was ready
To- meet them all. The great majority
o. the committee appeared TO be unit
i"f the moral side Of each of them. and
when the convention went into Session il
Was predicted that its work would meet
the approval OF all honest men, regard
less OF their political affiliations.

1t means trouble to the old republican

The marching DELEGATIONS. the booming

in themselves indicate the birth of a new
party. national in character and declar-

GILLETTE AGAINST SCHEME
Conferee Expects to Open Guns on
Idea in House.
SOME OPPOSITION IN SENATE
Strong Efforts Will Be Made to
Prevent Return to the Spoils
System.

A fight in the House, like that begun
yesterday in the Senate. against the pro-
vision for a seven-year tenure of office for
government clerks. proposed in the COM
ference report on the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill. was
assured last night by the announcement
OF the opposition of Representative Gill
lette of Massachusetts. one of the con-
ferees on the bill who refused to sign the
report.
There also is an intimation from friends
OF the civil service that President Taft
will veto the bill, not only because it con
tains a provision for the abolition of the
turn to the "spoils system in the govern
ment departments.
The fight in the Senate on the pro-
posal to allow the appointment Of new
clerks to take the place of those who
have been in the service seven years Will
be renewed tomorrow.
Warren Intimates Veto.
Senator Warren. chairman of the SEN
ate committee on appropriations and Of
the Senate conferees on the bill. asked
immediate action on the measure In the
reason for prompt action he intimated
that veto by the President is ahead of
the bill
In view of the rumors that have been
current for several days." he remarked.

certain quarters | think We ought to get
through with it without further delay
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts prompt
ly replied that the bill presented impor-
not to be rushed through the Senate at
an hour when few senator's were in their
seats. Other senator's. known to be oH-
posed to the clerks provision, were On
their feet ready to interpOSe objections.
Cummins to Lead Fight.
Senator Cummins. chairman of the Sem
ate committee on civil service, who has
been making a thorough and protracted
study of conditions in the civil service in
anticipation of presenting a bill govern
ing appointments. demotions and promo
tions in Uncle Sans workshops. will lead
the fight In behalf of the efhcient clerks.
Not only is he opposed to the plan for a
limited tenure of Office for clerks. but he
particularly criticizes the proposed iegis-
lation because it contains no requirement
that efficient clerks shall be held in the
service and reappointed at the expiration
of their allotted seven years.
Although it was the democratic
ma ajority Of the House that proposed to
fix a definite tenure Of office for gov
ernment employees many democrats in
the Senate have shown their opposition
to the plan brought forth by the con-
ferees on the legislative bill. Senators
Hoke Smith of Georgia and Newlands
of Nevada have already expressed their
disapproval. and others will join them.
Defense of government clerks and an
arraignment of the proposition to in
corporate the rtenure-of-of-
flee clause in the Legislative appropri-
alton bill may be expected from Rep
resentative Gillett He wants the gov
ernment employe to stand as he is at
present. and will make every effort to
have the year clause stricken from
the bill when it comes up on the floor Of
the House.

Representative Fitzgerald Of New York
placed the Senate the entire blame for
the holding up of thirty million dollars in
pension money due veterans of the civil
and Mexican wars in speech in the
House yesterday afternoon, charging the
Senate with "a contempt and a discour-
tesy which would have justified the rails
ing of a question involving the privileges
of the House." He said that the unpaid
pensioners should blame the United
States Senate for the delay, and that the
House had done everything in it's power
to press pension legislation. but that Ger
tain senators We're dragging it back for
political reasons.
Representative F'itzgeraId'S remarks
We're partly III answer to a quotation in
morning newspaper. wherein Senator
McCunber was made to say that the de-
lay in reporting the pension appropriation
bill was caused by the House. The legis-
iatiye situation involved concerns the
pension appropriation BILL in which the
House struck out S20OOOo for seventeen
pension agencies The Senate placed the
item in the bill again. and the matter
has never been settled. Meantime the
Sherwood pension bill increasing pensions
was passed, but owing to the differences
between the two houses the increased ap-
preparations to meet the pension claims
are rot available.
