DECIDED AGAINST NEGROES.

When Roosevelt reached Chicago this morning he put in a stormy two hours before he succeeded in straight ening out the tangle over the contest ing negro delegates in the south. Af- ter he had been welcomed by a crowd of several thousand persons and made a speech in the street in front of the hotel then he went to headquarters and took the helm.
 The Florida and Mississippi cases which were not ruled upon by the pro- visonal national committee, placed before him in detail and it developer that there was 2 sharp difference of opinion in the Roosevelt camp.
 nurober of his northern supporters told him frankly that they disapproved the policy of barring all the negroes of the south. It was urged that such a position would cost the national pro- gressive ticket the support of q large number of negroes in the northern states ir which their strength was greatly needed. Others felt that in fairness to the negroes they should have some representation from the south.
 Roosevelt stood his ground. In answer to every objection he said he would cling unequivocally to the posi- tion he had taken and that although it might cost him votes in the northern states, tc believed it to be the best interest of the party to proceed under white leadership in the south. He reiterated this statement made In letter to Julian Harms of Atlanta | that it was to the white man of the ! south that the negro must look and he declared that this position was for the | best interests of the negro It was said tonight that all his associates were won over to his point of view 1 The Mississippi negroes were thrown
 out completely on the ground that the white delegates were regularly elected | Roosevelt insisted that there be nc negro delegates from the south in the | convention and the national committee 1 acquies,ed in his view.

MIR. sEvERlDGEs ADDRESS.

The temporary chairman said in part:
 The first words of the constitution are: We are the people and they de- clare that the constitutions purpose is to form a perfect union and to pro- mote the general welfare To do just that is the very heart of the progress sive cause" declared Albert J. Bever- idge. temporary chairman of the pro- gressive convention, in calling that body to order today. MT. Beveridge told in detail the purpose and program of the progressive party. Abuse, said he. will only strengthen it, ridi- cule only hasten its growth, falsehood only speed its victory.
 Knowing the price we must pay sacrifice we must make, the burden we must carry the assaults we must en- dure-knowing full well the cost-yet we enlist and we enlist for war. for we know the justice of our cause, and we know too it's certain triumphs."
 Mir. Beveridge spoke in part as fol- lows:
 We stand for a nobler America. We stand for an undivided nation. We stand for a broader liberty, a. fuller justice. We stand for social brother hood as against savage individualism We stand for an intelligent co-opera- tion instead of a reckless competition
 We stand for mutual helpfulness in stead of mutual hatred We stand fol equal rights as q fact of life instead O a catch-word of politics We stand for the rule of the people as practica truth instead of a meaningless pre- tense. We stand for a representative government that represents the peo pie. We battle for the actual rights O man.

The Assemblage in Chicago Coliseum Was More Like an Old Fashioned Love Feast Than a National Convention
DELEGATES MEET
 SONGS AND CHEERS
Throughout the Session They Kept Workin g Themselves Into Higher Pitches of Enthusiasm Beveridge Helped Some
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

CHICAGO. Aug. 5.-The first session of the national convention of the new progressive party of which Roosevelt IS the sponsor was held today at the Coliseum and while there was all the usual ceremony and paraphernalia of a national political assemblage the ac- tual proceedings were suggestive of a love feast. Nat a dissenting voice was raised during the session.
 The question of the negro represen- tation from the south had caused fric- ton earlier in the day in the national committee. but on the floor of the con- Nenton there was no echo of this fight. The delegates were at times explosive in their enthusiasm. Many state del- egatiOns came to the hall singing and shouting their delight at the birth of the new party and three hours later left the building in the same happy frame of mind
 Although green hands were supposed 10 be at the helm. the machinery of me convention worked smoothly and efficiently. There was no roll call of delegates but the delegates section of the floor, arranged in the same manner as
 
 weeks ago and accommodating nearly eleven hundred, was entirely filled. The alternates section had also it's full quo ta
 When the proceedings begun the gall leries had few empty seats. The con- VentiOn leaders are enthusiastic tonight over the showing at the Coliseum and made the claim that no better looking or more substantial set of delegates was ever seen on the floor of the na- tiOnaI cOny ention.
 The work of the national committee in the contested delegates cases caused q delay of nearly three quarters of an hour in the assembling of the cOnven- = tiOn. During the wait the delegates amused themselves with songs and wells composed for the occasion while band near the flag draped steel raft CTS. and Grand Army fife and drum corps on the stage vied with each other in plying patriotic airs.
 There was a great cheer as Sena- tor Dixon the national chairman Ns the party rapped for order. This was repeated later when the call for the convention was read and there was even greater enthusiasm when former Senator BeveridgA of Indiana was pre- scented az the choice of the national committee as temporary chairman The fOrmality of electing Beveridge was not necessary and amid renewed ac- claim he was escorted to his place or the stage, decorated with a gold badge and handed the conveitnon gavel.
 BeVerldge then made the keynote speech. He spoke more than an houl and a half, expressing some of the ad- vanced ideas of government adopted by the new party and paving the way for the even more progressive pro posals to be made tomorrow at thu convention hv Roosevelt

Judge Lindsey of Denver Who Wanted That Dis tinguished Honor Is to Be Appeased by the Perman- ent Chairmanship
EXPECT LITTLE BEN

Program Has Approval of the Colonel; Platform Committee Finds Itself in a Snarl at the Outset; to Be Left to Roosevelt
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspATCHl

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-For vice presi- dent, Governor Hiram w. Johnson of California
 For permanent chairman, Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Denver
 This is the slate virtually agreed to by the national progressive leaders to- night and met the approval of Roose- welt. The colonel endorsed and strong ly suggested that Judge Lindsey be recommended for permanent chairman. As rega "da the vice presidential nom ination he took the position that it is for the convention to decide whom it should nominate and that he would make no suggestion.
 He let 'it be known, however that if the cOny entiOn should decide upon Johnson, the selection would meet his approval Lindsey's name will be pre- scented e the committee on permanent organization tomorrow by a number of its mOst influential members and it was said tonight that his selection by the committee is virtually assured. The judge is a former democrat of southern parentage and it is felt that his selection would appeal to the south.
 
 Bay that he favored the selection of a southern democrat as a vice presiden- tial candidate The field was can vassed carefully and it is understood that the coloners suggestion was abandoned only when it became evi- dent that it would be impossible to de- eide upon an available man.
 It is said tonight that the sentiment among :ie delegates in favor of John son is 90 strong that his choice as Roosevelt's running mate is practical lv assured and that the leaders who predicted his nomination were merely voicing the opinion of the convention.
 The California delegation adopted a resolution today saying the state could not sparc Johnson but it was said to- night tha: the governors friends would not insist upon this attitude. In the event of Governor JOhnson's nomina- tion it is planned to have him take the stump in the East while Roosevelt IS campaining in the West. The gover- nors qualifications as a campaigner are said to be strong factor in his favor.

There, in 1911, he learned to bat He
got chance to play regularly. and this
seemed to improve him. At the end of
the International League season he was
the proud pOssessor Of a .5O4 batting aver
age.
When Clark, Griffith took hold Of the
perpetual tail-enders he soon discovered
that he was in need of a first baseman.
Jack Flynn was then guarding first for
him, and proved a bigger failure as a
first base guardian than he had at Pitts
burg. Jack Knight, who successes him,
also fell down miserably in trying TO live

So Grin threshed the minors and spied
Gandil in Montreal. Chick was playing
at his best, and the owners of the Maple
Leafs set a big price on him. but the
Old Fox paid it gladly and has never
regretted it.
Gandil was the leading first sacker in
the league, according to the official aver
ages. He took part in III games and
fielded $50, making only u errors in
handling liza chances. He was also
rated high in the batting column. getting
AT average of .3O5, the best stickwork
he has ever done
As he is still young, there seems to be
many years Of usefulness ahead of him
on the diamond, and there is little doubt
among baseball men that he will be listed
among the best first basemcn In the
league for years to come. He is a big
fellow. over six feet tall, and of splendid
proportions. He bats and throws right
handed.
