II. Posts bunk about Roosevelt
releasing the delegates.
AT noon, bad Bill" Finn, of
Pittsburg, confirmed the report
that he had resigned as Pehnsyl-
vania's member of the new ma
tionai committee.
When "Bad Bill" was asked
about it, he got real peeved. Il
resigned because l didn't want to
serve" he explained, thus clear
ing up the mystery.
AS for the crowd-they were
sweating in the hall at noon, and
they couldn't understand just
what had happened when the con-
vention adjourned. So they
wouldn't leave their gallery seats
until the police chased 'em out.
There was about 10000 rurnors
today to the effect that Hadley
and Finn had quarreled with
Roosevelt. Each of the 10000
was denied, generally with harsh,
ungeHtlemanly language.
It was afternoon when Roose-
welt made his third party declar-

SENATOR kENYoN's MISTAKE.

Senator KenyoI's letter explain:
ing his position in the present cam
>paign is characteristic of the man.
It is candid, sincere and public spirit
ed. 1t is the greater pity that what
Influence Senator Kenyons example
exerts must be practically injurious
to the cause to which we believe
Senator Kenyon is genuinely devot-
ed.
Senator Kenyon knows the con-
ditions under which Mr.. Taft was
renominated and explicitly expressed
his disapproval Of them. He knows
the political forces which produced
those conditions and the men who
devised them and he expresses his
dissaproval Of them.
Yet he proposes to assist the con-
summation of that outrage and the
of the forces which
committed it in full power in the
party and in our national govern
ment. {
This is political futility.
h The Tribune believes with Senator
Kenyon that progressivism eventu-
ally will triumph with the Republi-
can party and that Republicans
should stay in the party to fight for
that end. But Senator Kenyon stays
in to surrender. ~
There is no duty, upon Senator
Kenyon to support a nomination like
that accomplished at the stolen con-
vention. It is not Republicanism
to support Mr.. Taft. From the stand.
point of progressive Republication
to accept the stolen nomination is
is not the assertion of Republican
ism, but the denial Of it.
Senator Kenyon has fallen into
the error of the old partisanship
which made issues unreal and par
ties the product Of discipline rather
than conviction. That error has done
more to discredit the party system
qnd break it down than anything
else.
No Republican owes it to his Re-
publicanism to vote for nominee
who is not nominee Of the party,
but the beneficiary of an unscrupu-
lous abuse of the forms of party gov
ernment.-Chicago Tribune.

dence of a new Roosevelt it is Of
Roosevelt with a grievance, a Roose-
Welt disappointed, Roosevelt resent
full and Roosevelt with the heart
out Of him. Opposition to our cause
in New England" he. says, "is due.
to sheer, plain ignorance, to hard
shelled prejudice and to craven
fear of what is new" These are
words not of winner, but of a loser.
So also are these with reference.
to newspapers: '.I do not so much
mind the editorial columns being
against us, but it is matter of real
regret that the news columns are
closed to u.s." Having had more
newspaper space than all the other
Presidents put together, the only
one who has nominated himself for
a third term reveals not confidence
but knowledge of failure when he
resorts to downright misrepresenta-
ton.
1t may be new Roosevelt whiniper-

new Roosevelt appealing for sympa-
thy instead of gayly exhausting the
possibilities of denunciation; but in
all that he muddy says on the

of the money question it is the same
old Roosevelt, very stale and bbvi-
ously played out.
The old Roosevelt was president

and a lawyer of exceptional ability.
For a number of years he has been
assistant attorney general off the
United States, but he is a negro, or
is classed as a colored man. When
Il this fact became known there was
such an emphatic protest entered
against his election that the commit nit
4 tee attempted to rescind its action
and pass the application Of Mr.
Lewis for memb ership up to the AS
4 sociation to be acted upon at III
next annual meeting.
It Isl BY no means clear that the

runs are quite sufficient when the
home club can't make even one. So
that's the story of the second days
encounter between Richmond and
Newport News.
The whole trouble was that the Colts
could not hit. The defensive play
was good enough, but when 1t came to
advancing base runners by means OF
healthy clouts. or by any other means
for that matter. the stickers were
sorely lacking. 1t wasn't because op-
portunity didn't offer Indeed oppor-

there was nothing doing. In five out
of the nine innings Richmonds first
batter hit safely, which looks good
on the surface. In every inning but
one there was man or base but he
stayed there.
On the other hand. the breaks were
all with Grim. Take as an example
registered. Two were down and
slavin was on first. Buck Hooker
came UP and hit straight at Griffin
