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 all
the usual ceremony and paraphernalia
of national political gathering, the
actual proceedings were suggestive oil
love feast. Not a 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 cn
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
Nf fob N
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 candidate for vice
president and selecting choice for
permanent chairman were troubles
problem.
Colonel Roosevelt was anxious that
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 Southern Democrat suffi-
GENTLY 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.
Colonel 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.
eghtion of Calfornians and band fur.
nished most of the noise. Not more
than 500 outsiders got in the colouel's
way as he hurried up the gangway to
the taxicab stand. 1t was about the
sort of a reception that the ex-presi-
dent has been used to in small towns
but compared with the hurrah that en-
vcloped him ON his arrival during the
Republican convention last June, it
was as nothing.
Colonel Roosevelt put in stormy
two hours before he succeeded in

hiugton.-Western Republican
senators who arc in tho confidence OF

The fact that but six Insurgent SEN

by Senator Cummins and that Insurg-
entS Bourne. Nelson and Borah voted
against it. will serve to strengthen the
Presidents determination to repeat
his action of last year.
In the opinion of Senators Smoot.
Warren. Guggenhcim and other sena-
tors from wooi-growing states. the bill
passed would not afford adequate pro-
lection to either growers or manufac-
turers in the wool business.
The iron and steel tariff bill re-
ceived the signatures of Speaker Clark
and Acting President Bacon of the
Senate. and went to President Taft.
This is the first of the tariff revis-

An agreement reached by the SEN

the bill Senator Guggenheim's amend
ment. giving an increase of $25.00O for
the Investigation and eradication of
insects affecting cereal and forage
crops. including the alfalfa weevi!, the

cent. of the proceeds of sales and
rents from national forests of 1912 to
public road construction in the forests.
Notice was served on the Senate
that under no circumstances would the
House agree to a continuation of the
tariff board. Provision for such CON
tinuation had been placed by the Sen
ate in number of appropriation and
tariff measures, but to each amend
ment the House has presented an un-

provision would delay adjournment.

colorado Crop Best Ever.

Denver.-The value of the crop
which will be harvested in this state
during the rest of the summer and the
fall has been estimated at $200,0OO,0O0
This is the most valuable crop that
has ever been ready to gather in this
state and a determined effort will be
made to keep this money within the
state as far as possible. Colorado is
not the only state that faces the best
year in its history. All through the
United States come reports of fine
crops, and this means prosperity, not
only to the farmers but to all the peo-
pie of the country.

Washington.-Color prosperity
for 1912 will be shown not alone in
the record-breaking yield of her lands
and the s2OO,O00O0O the farmers will

ness, and especially increased output
of factories.
Colorado's factory output, as shown
by the census bureau, was about $3.50.
100000 in 1909. Last year was not an

Brooks, Chicago.
In his keynote speech at the open
ing of the convention Senator Albert
j. Beveridge said:
The first words of the consti-
tuition are, we are the people, and
they declare that the constitutions
purpose is to form a perfect union
and to promote the general well
fare To do just that is the very
heart of the Progressive cause:'
Bcveridge told in detail the purpose
and program of the Progressive party:
abuse" said he. will only strength
en- 1t; ridicule only hasten its growth,
falsehood only speed its victory!'
The Florida and Mississippi cases
which had not been ruled upon by the
provisional national committee were
placed before him in detail and it de.
veloped that there was a sharp differ.
ence of opinion in the Roosevelt camp.
A number of his Northern supporters
told him frankly that they disapproved
of the policy of barring all negro dele.
gates from the South.
Colonel Roosevelt stood his ground,
In answer to every objection he said
he would cling unequivocally to the
position he had taken and that, al
though it might cost him votes in the
northern states he believed it was to
the best interests of the party to pro.
coed under white leadership In the
South.
The delegates were all here. They
locked 20 be almost as numerous as
those Who attended the Republican na-
tionai convention, and the visitors
seats were little more than half
filled. But it was not a demonstrativo
crowd. Perhaps the practice of sell
ing tickets was responsible for it. That
Is an innovation, and 1t may be that
the crowd which pays a considerable
price for seats expects too much for
It's money. Then again, it may be that
as the loyal Bull Moosers declare.
