lousness under the cry, Let the peo-
pie rule
1t Is stated that Colonel Roose-
welt was in the sulks all day on
Monday the first day of the conventions
This was doubtless because the con-
ventlon did not measure up in any
way by comparison with the hearty,
spontaneous enthusiasm of the regu-
lar national Republican convention.
1t was tame affair; not at all
the wild, riotous assemblage that the
promoters expected. There had been
talk of selling seats in the conven-
ton at $40 and $25 each, but at
the last spectators grumbled at the
high price of SO that was demanded
for admission to see the proceedings,
and those who paid their SO grumbled
at the tameness OF the show. But
what else was to be expected than
that the affair should be tame
With no opposition daring to show
its head, everything is necessarily
at dull level of apathy and matter
of-course procedure. 1t is idle to
think of getting up any excitement
when every one knows that the terms
of fellowship are complete submission
to the will of one individual, and that
any one revolving against that dictum
would be summary pitched out
How. under such conditions, could
any opposition be either expected or
toleratedq
The complete submission of the col
vention to Roosevelt was manifest in
the unanimous consent to former Sec
rotary Garfield's motion that Colonel
Roosevelt be invited to appear before
the convention on its assemblage the
second day. This was for the purpose
of allowing Colonel Roosevelt to de-
liver his extraordinarily long and win.
dictive speech arraigning every one
who does not agree to support him,
as an undesirable citizen, one who
is willing to take his place among
liars, thieves, and political brigands.
As to this speech itself, there is
a considerable variance from his key
note speech delivered before the
Ohio constitutional convention last
spring, but there Is in 1t the evil
spirit of intolerance, vindictiveness
J hate, and elf-assertiveness that dis
: tingush that Ill. advised vehement or
alton.
The proceedings of the convention
are by no means of the Importance

THE PERSONAL CONVENTION
(Salt Lake Tribune)


The personally conducted convention
assembled In Chicago for the purpose
of nominating Colonel Roosevelt for
the presidency for third term, is
gathering which is brought together
under false pretenses. The Roosevelt
cry OF the time has been that the peo-
pie must act, that no one Is authorized
to act for them save by their express
authorization. Let the people rule
is the great, Overwhelming tocsin OF
the Roosevelt movement. And yet the
pople have had no share whatever in
this convention There have been no
primaries. there has been no express
sion of the people in any respect
favoring this convention. In the diff
erent states as in Utah, there have
been a few self-constituted leaders
coming to the front announcing a con-
Wention of quite the old stylea precisely
the sort that Roosevelt has been busy
all this year denouncing, and these
conventions have, with more or less
regularity chosen delegates to his
personally-conducted convention at
Chicago The people have in no wise
been consulted, they have not been
permitted to take part in the cleo
ton of delegates to that convention,
or to act in any of the preparations for
holding that convention. The dele
gates to the national Republican con-
vention in Chicago that switched Off
to the Roosevelt movement took action
entirely unauthorized and revolution
airy. They were not sent to Chicago
to form a third party, or to aid any
schism in the Republican party. They
were sent as national delegates to the
national Republican convention; and
in so far as they betrayed the trust
imposed upon them by the people. In
so far as the delegates taking part

and for the personal Advantage OF Col.
Roosevelt may claim to represent the
people, the claim Is fraud, because
they have no credentials whatever
from the people, nor have the people
in any way been consulted in their
movement.
1t was precisely the same way
when the convention was called to
order by Senator Dixon of Montana,
who Is the personal political repre-
sentative of Colonel Roosevelt Mr.
Dixon called the convention to order
and annouced that Mr.. Beverage OF
Indiana had been selected as temper

that the delegates in the Republican

are draped at the bottom over cuffs

with motifs Of passementerie, which
also ornament the corsage and skirt.

Ostrich plumes. like lace, are never
allowed to remain in the background
for any length OF time, and an early
return to favor Is predicted for them
as the season advances. The smaller
hat shapes of satin and plush are so
chic In form and fabric that they real.
ly require but little trimming of any
kind. The "Berets" of velvet are
very becoming. and real Tam-o.shan.

tendency to return to the styles Of
