Championship uncertain.
BALTIMORE, June 21.-That the
democratic national committee will
ratify the selection of Judge Alton
B. Parker of New York, as the tem-
porary chairman Of the democratic
national committee, was the statement
made today by the national commit
teemen who led the successful fight
on the arrangements committee yes
terday, to name the former democrat
ic presidential candidate from New
York.
Bryan will be here Sunday to lead
the fight against Parker. In tie
meantime friends of Bryan say they
will canvass the national committee
as they arrive to ascertain if the
choice of the arrangements commit
tee can be set aside by the full CON-
mlttee.
Will Fight It Out on the Floor.
Both sides agree the fight will be
carried to the convention floor, and
that it will come few minutes after
National Chairman Mack has called
the convention to order next Tuesday.
Adherents of Parker here state the
national committee already has been
canvassed by them and that it will
oppose Bryan az it did last winter
when the attempt was made to unseat
J. M. Guffey, of Pennsylvania.
Members of the national committee
following Bryan say the issue is sim
ply progressiveism against conserva-
tism and assert the first vote of tie
convention will show the progressives
control.
1t was learned today that the New
York delegation purposes take no
small interest in the making of the
party platform, but until the arrival of
the New York leaders tie national
committee here is not prepared to say
what planks New York desires to in
corporate in the platform.
The arrangement committee met
again today to consider minor details
in connection with the convention.

The fact that but six Insprgent SEN

Presidents determination to repeat

COL. ROOSEVELT SWINGS BIG
STICK AND EXCLUDES SOUTH
ERN NEGRO DELEGATES.
J0HNS0NFOR 2NDPLACE
TEDDY WANTED SOUTHERN MAN
FOR RUNNING MATE, BUT
WAS ovERRULED.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Chicago-The first session OF the
first national convention OF the aew
Progressive party OF which Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt is sponsor. was
held in the Coliseum Monday, and
while the setting Was attended by ali
the usual ceremony and paraphernalia
OF national political gathering. the
actual proceedings were suggestive OF
love feast. Not dissenting voice
was raised during the session. The
question of negro representation from
the South had caused friction earlier
in the day in the national committee
but there was no echo of this fight IN
the floor OF the convention.
Chicago.-Governor Hiram w. John
son OF California seemed agreed upon
Monday night as the vice presidential
nominee OF the National Progressive
party to make the first fight Of the
new political organization with Col
onel Theodore Roosevelt
Early in the evening Judge Ben B.
Lindsey of Denver. a former Democrat.
had been agreed upon as permanent
chairman OF the convention. Colonel
Roosevelt had endorsed the recon-
mendation of Judge Lindsey and the
plan had been enthusiastically ap-
proved by the delegates.
Later, however, Judge Lindsey
called on the colonel and had long
talk with him. He said he had been
suffering from asthma and did not
feel physically capable of taking up
the work Under the circumstances
Colonel Roosevelt agreed to release
him and while it had not been finally
decided. it was said to be likely that
former Senator Beveridge OF Indiana
the temporary chairman, would con-
tinue as permanent presiding officer.
Agreeing on a candidate for vice
president and selecting choice for
permanent chairman were troubles
that were hardly second to the negro
problem.
Colonel Roosevelt was anxious tina.
a Southern Democrat should be his
running mate. Before the convention
Colonel Roosevelt insisted that he
would not bring any pressure to bear
upon the convention to ratify his de-
sire.
The inability of the committee to
discover a Southern Democrat suffi-
ciently stronge to balance the presi.
dental ticket resulted in an agree
ment on Governor Johnson. Colonel
Roosevelt has expressed his entire
satisfaction with the idea.
Cclonel Theodore Roosevelt reached
Chicago at 9 o'clock Monday morning.
1t was only the ghost Of an ovation
that he got when he made his way out
OF the La Sale street station. A del
egation OF Californians and band fur.
nished most OF the noise, Not more
than 500 outsiders got in the colorel's
way as he hurried up the gangway to
the taxicab stand. 1t was about the
sort Of reception that the ex-presi.
dent has been used to In small towns
but compared with the hurrah that en-.
veloped him on his arrival during the
Republican convention last June. II
was as nothing.

two hours before he succeeded IN

An over.anxious "Cleveland
Democrat" expresses amazement
in letter to the New York Post,
that "the great body of old line
Cleveland Democrats could bring
themselves to vote for Gov. Will.
son." For should he be elected
''either the Cleveland wing or the
Bryan Wing of the party would
surely find themselves 'buncoed, -
and, if further proof were needed,
Mr.. Bryan's exultant manifesto
makes it plain that his followers
would not be the victims!"
There can be no objection from
any Democrat, to Organs exul-
tation." The only way that Cleve-
land Democrats whose range of
vision is above the pie counter can
be "buncoed" through Wilson's
election, would be for him to lay
down on tariff reduction. Gener-
ally speaking, they are willing to
be "victims, with that achieved.
