When he came upon the platform he
had the air of a man who knew that
he was going to talk to average rep
resentative citizens from Casco bay
to the Golden Gate.
Meanwhile about 500 delegates were
madly cheering Mrs. Roosevelt, who
sat over in that box which, in June,
was given over to the millionaires'
wives headed by the wife of John HAYS
Hammond, but which this time is an
propriated by a lot of hard working
women with shirt waists.
The colonel did not own the con-
ventiOn so much as people thought he
did. 1t was convention of sincere
and convinced enthusiasts. They
were for Roosevelt because he was the
man who seemed to embody their
ideal, but if they had suspected him
of being a self-seeker or "fOur-fush
err they would have turned him down
in a moment. 1t was not at all like
one Of Mr.. Hearst's independence
League conventions in New York, al
though personally conducted con-
Ventiion of RoOsevelts.
These men were decidedly religious.
Ii you started to sing Onward, Chris
tian Soldiers" you could get more
OF an answer from this crowd than
you could if you started with a turkey
trot' in the Democratic convention.
Everybody's DOM 1t" went in Balti-
more and it went in Chicago at the
time Taft was nominated, but if you
wanted to get response from the
Progressives you had to sing Nearer,
My God, to Thee"
The grim and almost religious at
mosphere which characterized the
crowd was manifest especially in the
hour or so before Chairman Beveridge
called it to order. 1t was due to meet
at II o'clock, but the colonel was not
ready. So the outfit put in it's time
by singing the Battle Hymn of the
Republic"

New York, Aug. 11.-VermOnt is

comes from Chicago that it is the pur-
pose OF both Colonel Roosevelt and
Governor Johnson to campaign in Yer

The Republicans are alive to the ne

The Republicans will do well to
make hard fight in Vermont; it also
behooves the Democrats to make a

The women of Arizona are initiating
an amendment to the constitution in
that state giving the women the vote.
Washington gave the women the vote
several years ago and women have
voted in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah
and Idaho for many years. It Is a
live question in many of the middle
western states.
The Democrats are worried, much
more than the Republicans, about the
effect Of the Progressive party's es-
pousal of equal suffrage. Governor
Wilson was hopeful that the split in
the Republican party in such states
as California, Washington and other
western states would enable him to
come off an easy winner. Now that
a national party has declared for equal
suffrage it is the intention of the equal
suffrage advocates to make votes for
have not yet granted the vote to
women. The Democrats hope to off
set the popularity of equal suffrage as
an issue by homely talks upon the
tariff, illustrating from the platform
and in campaign literature their claim
that the housewife always bears a large
share of the so-called burden of the
protective tariff. They hope to i'm
press upon the women interested in
politics that the cost of living is a
more vital issue for them than the
right to vote.
Whatever Governor Wilson's atti-
tude toward equal suffrage may be, he
has not declared for it, and many of
his party leaders are bitterly opposed
to women voting. Singularly enough
President Taft says that when a
very young man he favored equal suf-
frage, but that now he favors giving
the vote to women when a majority of
the women desire 1t. In other words
he would submit the question to the
women to decide.

jane Adams GIVES STRENGTH


Ized Country-Expected She Will
Speak In New EngIand-Suffrage
Question Worries Both of the Old
Parties-PIans of Democrats and
Republicans to Win Favor
New York, Aug. 11.-Whatever the
weaknesses of the third party candi-
date and platform, Republicans and
Democrats alike recognize the fact
that Colonel Roosevelt's cause was
strengthened a, Chicago by the in
dOrsement of Jane Adams of Hull
house and by the declaration for equal
suffrage. The name of Jane Adams
is known and respected wherever in
this country or abroad men and
women are laboring to make the world
better. She has in the past opposed
Mr.. Roosevelt's military policy and
has refused until the Chicago con-
ventiOn of last week to join the ranks
Of his supporters. Hers was the most
discriminating among the speeches
secOnding his nomination and yet the
editorials in the newspapers and the
dispatches from the scene of the con-
vention show her speech to have been
hailed with great enthusiasm.
The Roosevelt managers hope to
have Miss Adams speak once in Bos-
ton, once in New Y rk and in Phila-
delphia, Pittsburg and Chicago for
their candidate. She has announced
that she will make a number of pOlitt-
cal speeches, but that these must
come after and be apart from thirty
speeches which she has promised to
make under the auspices of the Equal
Suffrage organization. 1t remains to
be seen how far Miss Adams will go
in supporting the personal candidacy
of the colonel.
1t was probably Miss Adams more
than anyone else who finally succeeded
in winning Mr.. Roosevelt to support
equal suffrage unequivocally. This is
a burning issue in many a western
state. 1t took California by storm
| and women will be largely responsible
for the victory if Roosevelt and john
son carry that state in November.

Boston, Aug. 12.-Two boys are be-
heVed to have been drowned when the
overcrowded motor boat Pippin cap
sized in Dorchester bay yesterday af-
ternOOn with 81 on board from a high
wind and rough sea.
John Smith and Michael Hartigan

1t is believed that this boat, too, cap
sized, and it is feared that the two
boys were drowned.
In addition to the tragedy the acct
dent abOunded in narrow escapes from
death and heroic rescues.
TWenty-One people, including a
party Of eighteen ROxbury young peo-
pie and three sailors, were plunged
into the waters Of Dorchester bay when
the motor boat Pippin capsized near
the end of the Head House pier.
1t was only the prompt work of the
men of the lifesaving crew which
averted an even greater tragedy
Christopher J. Sullivan and John D.
McDOnOugh Of the crew yesterday
made name for themselves. The
former, after doing yeomans work in
the rescue, dived down into twenty
feet of water for little Martha Glynn
who had been given up for drowned.
The Ipswich boy caught a glimpse
of the little girls body far below the
surface and without an instant's hest
tatiOn he dived from the lifesaving
launch. He just reached the uncon-
SciOus girl when he was unable longer
to endure the pressure and lack OF
air. He rose to the surface and
drawing a long breath, swan down

| he appeared bearing the little girl in
his arms.
