RoOsEvELT'S BULL
MOOSE CONVENTION
Continued from page ID
Half a Loaf for NEGROES.

Within an hour after the arriva, OF
Colonel Roosevelt, the national pro.
visional committee of the progressive
party decided upon settlement OF
the Florida contests by voting to seat
the negro delegates as supplemental
delegates" allowing them to work on
committees and take part In debates
on the convention floor, but having no
right to vote.
It was stated that the contests from
Mississippi, where negro delegates are
claiming seats In the convention,
would be settled in the same manner.
About the doors OF the committee
room at the time the decision was
announced were several of the ne
groes claiming to be the real Florida
and Mississippi delegates, who loudly
said they would not accept the decis.
ion Of the committee and said they
would insist upon being allowed all
the privileges OF regularly seated
delegates.
The Florida negro delegates decid-
ed after hearing the committee decis-
ion that they would buy admission
tickets to the convention and make q
fight in the convention for their
seats as delegates. Perry w. Howard
| of the Mississippi contestants, said
the negroes from his state would take
the same action If the decision In their
cases was like that on the Florida
cases
| The provisional committee today
seated the Lightner delegation from
the first and second districts in Ohio
The contests were thrown out by the
committee upon the evidence present
ed that the Cox machine in Cincin
natl had put up the four oontesting
delegates. The men seated were OF
to G. Lightner. A. o. zwick. E. H
FAIR and John G. Reed.
