Mr.. Beverfdge said that notorious
bosses are in the saddle Of both old

people seldom win, but the bosses al
most always win.
The South has men and women as
genuinely progressive and others as
genuinely reaCtionary as those in other
parts of the country. Yet, for we'll
known reasons, these sincere and
honest southern progresstves and re-
dictionaries vote together in a single
party, which is neither progressive nor

vote. not for the Democratic party, but
against the Republican party. They

party will accomplish reforms vital to

ALL SOUTHERN NEGROES
ARE BARRED AS DELEGATES

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Every southern
negro who raised contest for a seat
in the national convention Of the new
progressive party was barred by the
concluding action of the national com
mtttee here today.
While the permanent roll call of the
convention had not been completed at
l O'Clock, yet it appeared that there
would be only one negro on the con-
vention floor. He was in the Pennsyl-
yania delegation.
Negroes from Florida, Mississippi
and Alabama declared they would
carry their contests to tho committee
on credentials.
A compromise was reached In the
Florida case. The so-called lilly
white" delegates, headed by H. L An
derson, provisional national commit
teeman from the state, were seated In
the convention as the regularly chosen
representatives of the state.
The contesting delegates, headed by
c. II. Aston, a negro, were invited to
sit in the convention as supplement
tai delegates" but without a vote.
After it had been announced that a
compromise had been reached in the
Florida contests by the seating Of the
lily white delegation, the five dissent
ing negroes who sought seats in the
QSlSBdIlOn uSCldI6u EudI LuSy WOulu
not abide by the committees terms.
These proposed that the white men be
seated as the regular delegates, and
that the negroes sit as supplemental
delegates
c. H. Aston, a negro leader of the
protestants, declared:
IF we are to attend the convention
merely as spectators we prefer to buy
our own tickets
The negroes, when they heard the
decision, stripped the Roosevelt badges
dignation meeting. Later they said
credentials committee of the conven-
ton when It Is appointed.
The protests of the Florida negroes
grew so loud IL at the committee final
ly determined to throw out each dele
cation. The white men were headed
by H. L. Anderson.
In Mississippi, where the progr essive
state convention had been called as a
lilly white" meeting, the white dele
gates elected were given their seats.
On Saturday the committee had
thrown out twelve negroes who con-
tested seats in the Alabama delegation.
Of the contesting delegations.
The negroes were indignant and ex-
cited over the action Of the committee
and there was some talk Of having
mass meeting of Chicago negroes to
protest. No definite arrangements
were made, however.

Even while digging coal for Twins

Thompson is said to have cherished an
ambition to be secretary to the presi-
dent of the United States If ne couldn't
land the presidency itself So he
studied nights and read omniverously
while saving money enough to get
started at the Ohio State University.
Working his way through college,
Thompson got a bachelor Of philosophy

a while. then studied law and after

Thompson fancied that his star point
ed a way to the governorshfp. But
sias it did not. Warren G. Harding of
Marion took the 1910 gubernatoriaI
nomination in a walk away.
That didn't daunt Carmi, though.
In a very short time he was dra wing
pay from the government, President
Taft having made him assistant secre-
tary Of the interior
And now that the president has
made him his own secretary no one
who knows Carmi Thompson doubts
that he will make good. Indeed, he is
making good. The only regret of the
presidents friends is that the presi-
dent couldn't have had such a secre-
Iary sooner.
