BOB VERNoN'S SACRIFICE
By H. S. Garfield, Jr.

by II: .. OanneIQ, Jr.
The air was portentous of great
happenings and Louise Pierce
knew before parting the portieres
and entering the dimly lighted
room that Armstrong had come
to ask reward for the long months
Of his wooing and to make the
last onslaught against the citadel
of her heart.
Armstrong, handsome, dash
ing, with just a suggestion of dis
sipation in his lean face and with
rather the air of unwisely ex-
pended nervous force about his
speech. and actions, put all the ar
dor of his nature into winning
this beautiful woman. Just a CLINT
of satisfied vanity mingled with
the light of conquering love in his
eyes when Louise allowed her
arms to creep shyly and slowly
UP to his shoulders and around
his neck as he crushed her in his
arms.
This is happiness, happiness,
happiness" she murmured to her
self again and again as she watch
ed Armstrong; nervous stride
carry him from the house an hour
later. Her heart beat in palpi-
tating rhythm to his every step.
His ardor had swept away doubt
The words of love and blind
hope that felt haltingly from the
stammering bps of Bob Vernon
as he sat, bashful as a schoolboy,
at her side on the evening follow
ing. the eyentful afternoon, caused

told him of her acceptance of his
rival; and with touching gener-
osity of feeling, he wished her
happiness of her choice. There
was not the feeling of perfect love
there in her heart, however, after
he had clunsily shaken her hand
and left her. There was the
faintest suggestion of a growing
doubt.
Mrs. Pierce, a woman of flesh
and foridity, self-evidently one of
purple garments and pampered
appetite, had also OWNED happen

found her daughter seated alone.

Will Deliver Keynote Speech To
National Progressive Con-
vention at Noon
NEGRO QUESTION HANGS
HEAVILY OVER MEETING.
Credentials Committee Reaffirms
Action of National Commit
tee and Bars Southerners

CHICAGO, Aug. e.-The Negro
question was very present problem
when the National Progressive con-
yention re-assembled today. Al
though the long expected speech OF
Col. Roosevelt, outlining his views or
what the party stood for, which was
to be delivered at noon, oyershadUwed
all else. the delegates themselves ad-
mitted they feared clash would
come from the action OF the creden-
tials committee In the southern con-
tests. That body re-affirmed the doc
trine of the national committee that
IL did not propose having o Negro
problem forced upon IL, insisting
there could not be any such cues
tion. and simply threw out OF the
convention entirely both the Negro
and white delegates from Florida. on
the ground that they had been
illegally elected and re-affirmed the
declaration thai the party in each
state should be a law unit itself in
deciding what manner was TO be pur-
sued In electing delegates
This action was taken ON motion
OF the Negro member OF the commit
tee from New Jersey. seconded by a
Rhode Island Negro and was carried
in the face of the opposition of all
the committee members from the
states south Of the Mason and Dixon
line, who desired the party on rec
ord at it's inception as being a white
mans organization.
The committee, however. pleased
the whites Gf the south by ruling
out the Negro contestants from Mis-
sissippi. holding that the eonven-
tion that elected them was illegal.
The result was that Florida was not
represented in the convention and
there was not a single Negro I'm the
state delegations from the south.
! norder to aid the advocates OF
actual voting representation, the
committee on rules reported TO the
leonvertion a resolution making the
basis of Representations the vote
lactually cast at the previous election.
7 This ruling will govern in all future
conventions and instead Of delegates
being elected on the basis Of the con-
lgressional districts, delegates will ne
lapportioned TO each state, one for
each 10000 votes cast. In that
manner the strong progressive states
will be able TO dictate the policies
OF the party. without being over

votes
When the convention resumed its
sessions at noon. all OF the rommit-
tees excepting resolutions were ready
to report Resolutions, into whose
hands was entrusted the preparation
OF the party declaration OF principles,

with the problem and went back to
