The trend of affairs at the hearing on
four negro delegates contests this even
ing. The committee was in session at
midnight trying 10 frame some report
which would justify the seating OF tho
white delegates from the Southern
states against the negro contestants
without alternating entirely the great
body of negro voters or the South.
The third party is not animated by
antipathy TO the black brother, accord
ing TO every member Of the committee,
from Senator Dixon down, including
Cecil Lyon, father Of the attempted
lilly white Republican party in Texas.

exigencies OF politics demand an effort
TO win the support OF Southern white
democrats who feel friendly TO Roose-

brother may.

the United States
Says Anderson Approved.
Aston declared the st. Augustine
negro convention was held by author
ity Of Colonel Anderson, and read a
letter from him To prove 1t, urging him
to attend and work in harmony with
the men there.
Anderson later said this was an at
tempt on his part to steer clear OF
trouble by keeping the blacks ana
whites entirely separate. He said II
was physical impossibility IN the
South TO organize any party, especially
Il new party. with negroes taking any
prominent part. II had TO be white
leadership and white organization.
There's n fellow named Shields
Warren" said Anderson, who. ! be-
lieve. was sent by the Taft organiza-
ton TO stir UP these negroes to make
trouble"
At the end of this hearing Groves,
the white head Of the negro contest
ants, suggested that the committee
seat each delegation with onc-half vote,
mako the national committeeman a
white man. and let Anderson take the
state organization. This compromise
propnsition seemed 20 suit both SIDES
pretty we'll. though Anderson said he
wasn't out for any "dicker."
The Mississippi contestants had a
better case than their Florida brethren.
They we're headed by Perry W. How
ard. who is a lawyer in Jackson. Is. T.
Fridge. the provisional national commit
teeman, first told how he had set about
organizing a white mans party. Later
he modified this.
Il don't want 10 deprive the negro
of his civil rights" said he, "but he
can't be leader. The leaders must
be white. know you've got 10 do the
best you can for this new party and
can't eliminate the Northern negro,
But he's just as much above the South
ern darky as we are. And down In
Mississippi the white men have 10 10
the job"
Then Howard told Of communications
With Fridge. in which he said the
negroes didn't want TO lead and were
willing to go as far back In their seats
on the band wagon as was required.
But they had TO be in the third party.
Fridge's call was addressed to whites
only. and he held the mass convention
of the third party at a hotel where
said Howard, "a black man can get in
only as a waiter"

Roosevslt's Own Admissions.

II appears that ex-President Roose-
Welt himself has admitted TO some Of
his intimates that he has no hope Of
success this year. and that he Is mere
ly laying the groundwork for what he
expects TO be a victorious f'ght IN
1916. These admissions. made, no
doubt. in confidence. have been re-
lated. in confidence. TO 30 many
PERSONS that they have become
common property. Nevertheless, il
Is argued that il Colonel Roosc-
Welt on his arrival In Chicago
assumes the attitude that victory is
certain ne can restore the confidence
OF the rank and file and even Of some
OF the less discerning leaders and cam
didates for minor offices, and this
colrse IL being urged on him by some
Of his most loyal supporters.
Nor do those who maintain this view
believe for a moment that any insep-
cradle obstacle interposes. They con-
tend that the minute Colonel Roosevelt
gets here and finds himself surrounded
by numerous loyal supporters he Will
be fired with enthusiasm and that he
will find ii difficult 10 retain his pres
ent view that victory this year Is un-
attainable. II this view he correct.
there Is no doubt that the colonel will
be able to fire his supporters with en-
thusiasm and to send great num-
Der Of them back to their homo states
filed with confidence OF immediate
success.
Probably never was a political lead
or accorded such loyalty or his state
ments received with such implicit
confidence by his followers as Colonel
Roosevelt. Their faith in the colonel
approaches almost 10 the sublime. II

suggests, indeed, the attitude Of the
small hoy who defiantly asserted:
ITS so if it amt so. because mother
said So"
Under such conditions it must be OBJ
vious that Mr.. Roosevelt will expert
ence no difficulty in sending his dele
gates and supporters home with any
degree Of confidence in any set OF pre-
dictions which he may deem wise.
Must Depend on the Prsss.
Aside, however. from the men who
attend the Roosevelt convention, there
is q large element which must take It's
news OF the situation and the condi-
lions here from the press. Some of
Mr. Roosevelt's most enthusiastic
supporters are members of the press,
all the secretaries OF this convention
being men who have by their contri-
buttons to the daily press aided IN
the promotion Of his cause Some OF
these. through no lack OF loyalty to
the colonel, perhaps because OF the
very excess Of Ii, are already intimat-
ing, at least. that the new party can
not hope for success this year. One
of these. writing for "The Chicago
Tribune" for instance, says in that
publication to-day:
II the new party had no other reason
for being than 20 win the election III
November. IL Is realized II would gain,
and ought 10. have. little support from
the people. They would look upon II az
a half-baked movement, created for the
purpose of furthering the ambitions or
Colonel Roosevelt but II may be stated
emphatically that the colonel In not con-
Cerned about tho result to him person
ally. What he regards as of supreme
Importance Is the establishment Of the
Progressive party on a. solid, substantial
foundation. With this ACCOMPLISHED even
should the party not be victorious In tho
election OF President IL will DO in a
position 10 win four years hence.
This Ia tho sort of thing which, IN
the opinion of some Of the loyal Roose-
veltites. is i'll advised. because It Is
likely 70 discourage a great many vot-
ers who would support the new party
il they believed it WAS destined to
achieve success this year, but who have
not become sufficiently enthused with
tho divine fire to lend it their support
IL they believe Il IL destined TO defeat,
and that a vote for Roosevelt will, In
erect. mean a vote FOR. Woodrow VIII
son.
Colonel Roosevelt Is in constant COM
munication with his lieutenants hare by
telephone, and those who maintain the
possibility OF defeat should not be ad-
mitted believe their representations
have made All impr ession at Oyster
Bay. submitting AS evidence OF this
contention the conclusion OF the colo
ners communication to the Illinois
convention. That paragraph is az fol-
lows:
Tho hEht is clear cut. believe We
shall be able TO arouse the people SO
that they will know that this is their
1eht. and II we can do so success 10

W. c. I. u. Notes
A Great Soldiers Views of
Teetotalism

when I was a boy at school
at West Point" said the late
General Frederick D. Grant, II
was a pet because of the great
ness of my father. I was given
every opportunity to drink, and
| did drink-some. AS l grew
older and mixed with men, war.
SCARED veterans who fought
with my father would come up
and ask me to celebrate with
them the glory of past events,
and 1 did-some.
""Then when I was minister to
Austria, the customs of the coun-
try and my official position
almost compelled me to drink
always, [ tried to drink with
extreme moderation, but 1 found
it was an impossibillty to drink
moderately. I could not say
when drink was placed before
me, No, l only drink in the
morning. or at certain hours.
The fact that I indulged at all
compelled me to drink on every
occasion or be absurd.
For that reason" concluded
the great soldier, because mod
crate drinking is a practical i'm
possibility, 1 became an ab-
solute teetotaler-a crank, if you
please. I will not even allow it
in my house. When a man can
say, I never drink he never
has to drink, is never urged to
drink, never offends by not
drinking; at least that is my ex.
perience.
Give me the sober man, the
absolute teetotaler every time
He is dependable. If 1 had the
greatest appointive power in the
country, no man would get even
the smallest appointment from
me unless he showed proof oil
his absolute teetotalism:
IF could, by Offering my
body a sacrifice, free this coun
try from this fell cancer, the
demon drink, I'd thank the AL
mighty for the privilege of doing
it"
