Forty States Represented but Terri
tories are not considered-AlI who
Believe the Time has Come for "Pro-
eressive Movement" are Invited.

New York, July S-A call to the
people of the United States who are In
sympathy with the national progress
sive movement" to send delegates to
a national convention to open in Chi
cago Aug. 5, was given out Sunday
afternoon by United States Senator
Dixon of Montana, Theodore Roose-
welt's campaign manager. The call is
signed by members of the committee
chosen at a meeting held in Chicago,
and also includes signatures of Roose-
velt followers in forty States.
"The territories have no place in a
national convention and will not be
considered" declared Senator Dixon
in commenting upon the signatures.
"As for the missing eight States, the
most of them probably will send dele
gates, although they have not taken
part in the call.
Maine, for instance, postponed any
definite action because there is now a
strong fight on in the primaries with
the sympathy running in favor of the
progressive movemet. Delaware,
North Carolian, Arkansas and Nevada
probably will take part in the conven-
tion. Mississippi and South Carolina
may possibly be unrepresented.
"The call lays down no rules as to
the methods of choosing delegates
since each State will be expected to
select its delegates by its own para
phernalia. The representation will
be cut down to just one-half that oi
the previous conventions. This was
considered advisable since this con
yention is to be notably deliberative
body and certainly will be composed
of a class of men altogether different
from those who usually attend con
ventions.
'In all probability the convention
will adopt the name National Progress
siye' for the new party, but canno
saw definitely what will be done. Thu
far no issues have been authoritivel.

Adrianople
A word as to it's past. The city
originally was old Uskodama, first a
district capital of Thrace; then Ro-
man capital under Hadrian, and the
object of Goth vandalism as early as
37S, when it was wholly destroyed. In
the thirteenth century the Latin en-
peror and the Bulgarians fought
fearful battle here, after which Adrian
ople experienced an era of peace until
about the year 1861 when the Sultan
Murad l. captured it. In 1865 he made
1t his home and such it remained,
capital of the empire, until the fall
of Constantinople, when it was re-
duced to sort of sub-capital. Since
then its career has been uneventful.
The city was taken in 1920, and here
was signed the Peace of Adrianople,
by which Russia returned to Turkey
all that she had taken away and fixed
the boundaries that remained in force
substantially until 1878. when the Rus
slams re-entered the city.

TURNS FROM BERMUDA.
WRITES COMMONER NOTE
Governor May Greet Taft at National
Capital Before Inauguration
Likes Presidents
Toast.

Hamilton, Bermuda, Nov. 30-Wood-
row Wilson has written letter to
William Jennings Bryan inviting him
turn from Bermuda. The president
elect wishes to consult with Mr.. Bryan
as one of the leaders of the Demo
cratic party, but he will take counsel
with a number of the other Demo
cratic leaders also on his future pro-
gram.
1t is definitely announced, however,
that Mr.. Bryan is not coming to Ber-
muda and that he has not been invited
to do SO.
After the Thanksgiving dinner, Mr..
and Mrs. Wilson went driving and in
the evening attended the theater. Mr..
Wilson did not have his family here
on previous visits and he was not so
prominent parsonage, but the peo-
pie of Bermuda took him at his word
when he said he came for rest, pure
and simple, and they have not bother
ed him in the least
Having Good Time.
The Wilson's know some of the peo-
pie here from previous acquaintance
in the United States and the Wilson
girls find it as easy to enjoy them
selves as if they were at home. Each
day they find it possible to play tennis
or golf or ride. For the most part,
however, they have been going about
with their father, who is fond of BIZ
cvc1inC opd WALKING
The president-elect has no fixed pro-
gram on any day. He varies his vaca-
ton pleasures with the days as they
come. Perhaps one of the greatest
pleasures this vacation has given him
is in regaining the privacy of the
family circle. Bermuda therefore has
brought back the domestic side of life
to the governor.
Taft's Toast PIeases Him.
One thing the governor has read
which pleased him was President
Taft's toast to him at the Lotus club
dinner on Nov. 10, in Ney York. The
president. in raising his glass to his
successor, had characterized him az
IAN able, distinguished and patriotic
gentleman"
That's fine," remarked the presi-
dent-elect heartily and his family, who
stood about at the moment, added
their appreciation.
1t appears quite likely that before
Inauguration, next March, the presi.
dent-elect and the president will meet
in the national capital.
Governor Wilson will be passing
through Washington to and from jubi-
lee celebration at his birthplace Staun
ton, Va, on Dec 49, If he does not
stop at Washington on that occasion
