What The Editors Are Saying About Wilson

Wilson for President. People ire
spective of political creed are in

leader and with him as standard

Men have tried many things. but

stimulant in use but requires the use
Of more. Men try to drown the float

wine cup, but the corpses will rise.
We see their faces in the bubbles.
The intoxication Of drink sets the
world whirling again, and the pulses
playing music, and the thoughts gal
Looping, but the fast clock runs down
sooner, and the unnatural stimulation
only leaves the house 1t fills with rev.
elry-more silent, more sad, more de-
serted. more dead. There is only one
stimulant that never fails, and yet
never intoxicates-Duty. Duty puts a

The Holly chieftain., 1912-08-16

AS has always been the case in ma
tional political conventions, the bulk
of the work of the Progressive gath
ering was carried on in the commit
tees. Tho only semblance of con-
flict of opinion on the floor was n
brief debate rs to whether an hours
recess should be taken. The point
was not material. but as one delegate
expressed it, 1--WE Just had to fight
about something to mako regular
convention"
There was sharp discussion in sew
eral committee meetings and no little
difficulty in agreeing upon the plat
form as finally adopted.
Colonel Roosevelt worked with the
subcommittee in charge Of the plat
form until late Wednesday afternoon,
going over their work OF the two pre-
vious days and nights and vigorously
helping to mould the draft which at
last proved acceptable to him. The
platform did not take up the negro
question.
The Holly chieftain., 1912-08-16

For several hours during the after
noon the throng in the Coliseum had
listened to flow Of oratory in nomi-
mating and seconding speeches, in
which the dominant note expressed
was the belief that victory would
come to the new party IN November.
Raymond Robbins of Illinois pledged
a 100000 majority for the national
ticket in Illinois. and Clifford Pinchot
predicted 100000 majority for Col.
Roosevelt end Gov. johnson in his
home state of Pennsylvania. These
statements were cheercd to the echo.
The party formally christened itself
"The Progressive Party" leaving out
the prefix National" by which it has
heretofore been known, but provision
was made for the recognition of "'real"
Progressives in any of the states by
whatever name they should be locally
designated because OF state laws.
The convention adjourned with the
delegates singing the "Doxology" IN
lusty voice. During the three days it
was in session there was not roll
call nor ballot. The delegates asked
no such formalities, either in placing
their candidates in nomination or in
voting for them.
There was not voice Of opposition
either to Col. Roosevelt or Gov. John
son. The delay in nominating them
was due to the large number of sec.
onding speeches allowed.
The Holly chieftain., 1912-08-16

Fridge's call was addressed only to

convention and elected ten white men
and ten negroes to cast Mississippi's

the seating of the Fridge delegates
would mean a "lily white" Progressive
party in the South.
