NEGRO PROBLEM
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Which Threatened Colonel
Roosevelt with Losing
Many Followers.
(National News Association

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Aug. 10
Some inside history of the Progressive
convention in Chicago was revealed
today by Col. Roosevelt. He disclosed
that the Bull Moose party came dan
gerously near splitting over the neg
70 problem.
81 had great difficulty in bringing
some of my supporters around to my
idea of how the negro question in our
party ought to be handled said the
Colonel. Some of them believe il was
an outrageous discrimination against
the negro to say that any of them
must be excluded. I maintain that the
third party has to take a firm stand
on this, that the negro problem as far
as the party's future was concerned,
must be handled firmly at the start.
ut looked for time as though We
would break on the negro issue.
don't mean that our party was in
danger of going to smash, but that it
seemed as if some of our supporters
would not be reconciled. But they saw
the point of what l maintained. They
came to realize that to keep out the
penal type of negro and let the South
ern end of our party handle the prob
lens there, as a local affair, was the
only way out of it.
1--WE took bold stand but we start
ed right. Now we are going to organ
ize a party in the south that will en-
brace the decent element of the negro
race exactly as the negro shows him.
self fit to come in with us. We will
help the negroes to become more use
full to himself and to the community"
The former president laughed over
the comments of William Jennings
Bryan that the colonel in his Chicago
speech had stolen the Democratic par
tvs ideas.
I'VE have stolen all the Democratic
ideas excepting those fit for the in
mates of lunatic asylum" explained
the colonel.
Roosevelt was immensely pleased
over a telegram from the crew of the
battleship Oregon, saying We join in
congratulating you and your nomina.

POPUL|STS TO JOIN
PROGRESSIVE PARTY
Chairman of National Com
mittee Suggests This Plan
May Be a Row.
(National News Association)

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-The Peoples
party, better known as the Populists,
who meet in national convention in ST.
Louis next week, may endorse Theo-
dore Roosevelt and the Progressive
cause and disband as a separate or
ganization. This plan was suggested
as the possible action of the conven-
ton by James H. Ferris of Joliet, Ills,
chairman of the Populist national COM
mittee. Mr.. Ferris, an editor, has de-
voted considerable space in his news
paper recently to commencing the Pro-
gressive party.
The amalgamation, if it should come
about, would probably only come after
a sharp clash in the convention, &C
cording to many western members of
the party. Steam roller methods and
bossism are likely to be charged, it
is asserted. For some time the west
erners say, Roosevelt men have pack
ed the delegations with the colonies
followers in the eastern states. 1t is
likely that their right to sit in the con-
vention will be questioned.
