Holcomb and George w. Bader. Ths
trip was arranged last Thursday, and
since that time the greatest interest
in the jaunt 10 the New Jersey capital
has been manifested by Democrats
from all over the state. The visit
ors today wore ribbon badges showing
the Democratic rooster and bearing
the words: "Delawsre-We will win

The committee obtained a round
trip fare OF S1.S5 for the pilgrimage
and about fifteen hundred postcards

and Republicans TO 20 on the excur-
sion and to call on the party's stand
ard bearer. BY making the trip the
Democrats hope to stir up party en-
thusiasm for the campaign. II Is
known that some of the Democrats
do not like the spirit of apathy that
seems to have settled over the party

PROGRESSIVES
MAY CLASH ON
RACE PROBLEM
Credential Committee, How
ever Says There Can be
No Trouble on Point
CONVENTION ANXIOUS
TO HEAR ROOSEVELT
By The United Press.


CHICAGO, Aug, 6.--The negro ques-
ton was very present problem
when the Progressive national con-
vention reassembled today. Although
the long-cxpected speech of Colonel
Roosevelt, outlining his views of
what the party stood for, Oyershad-
owed all else, the delegates them
selves admitted they feared a clash
would come from The action OF the
credentials committee In the south
ern contests. That body reaiiirmed
the doctrine of the national commit
tee that it did not propovs having q
negro problem forced upon 1t, insisting
there could not be any such question
and simply threw out of the conven-
ton entirely both the negro and white
delegates from Florida, on the ground
that they had been illegally elected
and realilrmed the declaration that
the party in each state should be a
law unto itself in deciding what meth
cd was to be pursued in electing dele
gates
This action was taken on motion
of the negro member of the commit
tee from New Jersey, seconded by a
Rhode Island negro, and was carried
in the face of the opposition of all
Of the committee members from the
states south of the Mason and Dixon
line, who desired the party on re-
cord at its inception as being a
white mans organization.
The committee, however, pleased
the whites of the south by ruling out
the negro contestants from Mississ-
ippi, holding that the convention that
elected them was Illegal. The result
was that Florida was unrepresented
in the convention and there was not
single negro in the state delega-
tions from the south.
In order to aid the advocates of ac-
tE2l voting representation, the COM
mittee on rules reported TO the con-
vention a resolution making the basis
OF representation the vote actually
cast at the previous election. This
ruling will govern ~ all future con.
ventions and insy cad Of delegates be

BROWN, ANARCHIST

Seldom was town meeting as well

Arden last evening. The residents Of
the colony turned out In force, even
the babies were there, TO say nothing
Of the summer camp, whose members
mad spent the day in New Jersey. Tne
cause of the tui nOut was the consid-
ering of a new constitution, or. in the
words OF Professor Scott Nearing, the
chairman of the committee appointed
TO draw up the paper, the bylaws.
In referring TO the bylaws Profess
sor Nearing stated that it was thought
best TO eliminate the word constitu-
ton, as that was a document used by
free people, whereas in Arden they
were not free, but were behind the
deed of trust and I'm the same position
as a bank with the State
G.. Frank Stephens, one of the COM
mittee, and also a principal in the
founding Of the colony, had a minority
report This was the same as that Of
the majority, except that it allowed
every resident of the colony TO vote,
regardless of age. The majority re-
port provided suffrage for all lease
holde.s and their immediate families
over the age Of 21. Around this ques-
ton the discussion Of the evening was
centered. The minority report finally
was adopted by vote OF A to %, and
hereafter as heretofore everyone in
Arden, including the kiddies, will
have the right Of suff age.
The meeting was spirited and the
sensation of the evening occurred
when a resident asked the townsmen
what authority anyone had to hire a
constable to preserve order at a meet
ing. That such had been done was
denied, but il was charged that Con-
stable Lucius c Jones had been in
quiz ing about a bill Of his amounting
TO $3.50 for services in watching
George Brown, the shoemaker anarch-
ist, at the July meeting, and It was
stated that Jones wanted his money
Brown made a motion that the bill
be allowed, saying: IF the constable
watched me | think he earned hi
! money as he had a job"
William Worthington. one OF thl
townsmen stated that the people ha'
been misinformed, as the constable
I had not been hired to watch Brown
/ It was later stated that Constabl,
Jones was hired to watch everyone
although he asked to have Brown
pointed out when he arrived at the
meeting The motion TO pay the bill
was laid on the table
Following the reading of the min
utes of the previous meeting Emanue
Gerstein, who asked that the consti
tuition be changed inquired o.
Charles Shandrew, a trustee, the
/ amount Of the annual rentals this

Montenegro is too small to wage an

so warlike that even Austria has more
