special b.. Cn-t6d Press Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 6:-The success OF
Roosevelt leaders in enlisting the
help of Jane Addams, Americas
greatest woman, is generally regard
ed as clever stroke. 1t Is no secret
in Chicago that the greatest possible
pressure was brought to bear upon
Miss Adams by both Democrats and
Republican supporters to keep her
out of the fight. 1t is said that Miss
Adams, who throughout her whole
career in Chicago has never been
drawn In any political contests or has
never publicly expressed herself in
any partisan contests, was only won
over when the progressive movement
made known to her the features Of
the Roosevelt declaration of faith were
revealed to her.
Negro Question Up Again.
The negro question was the pres
ent problem when the convention re-
assembled today, although the long
expected speech of Colonel Roosevelt
outlining his views which the party
stood for, which was to b edelivered
at noon, overshadoWed all else. The
delegates themselves admitted they
feared a clash would result by the
action of the credential committee
in the southern contest. The body
reafirmed the doctrine of the nation
al committee that it did not propose
to have a negro problem forced upon
it, insisting there could not be any
such question, and simply threw out
OF the convention entirely both negro
and white delegates from Florida on
the ground that they had been illega-
Iy elected and reaffirmed the declara-
ion that the party In each state
should be law in itself in deciding
what methods were to be pursued in
electtng delegates.
When the convention resumed its
session at noon all of the committees
except the resolutions were ready to
report.

Sow Glover With the RIVE.

1t is now getting close to the time
when the farmer will get ready to sow
the fall rye. And the suggestion is Of
fered that he seed some clover with the
crop-if not for a meadow, then for the
purpose of blowing under the clover as
green manure. This is good practice
with all crops and especially for the
land that is usually seeded to rye. The
small cost of the clover seed will be re-
turned many times over in the added
yields that the land will return.
