Jim Thorpe. Although HORNE set a
new worlds mark for the high jump
when he went over the bar at 6 feet
7 inches, in later trials he did not
do so well and was beaten several
times at 6 feet 2. 1t is the opinion
of the experts that he had a little
too much of it and went stale.
Should he not recover his form in

CoIored Men Realize Power.
What | wrote about the balance Of
power in the hands of the 6S negroes
has created a sensation and started
comparative revolution among the ne
gro delegates and the enthusiastic ne
groes in Chicago. Delegations of them
have waited upon me today and have
informed me that these paragraphs
have quickeQed them to comprehen-
sion of a magnificent duty of respon-
sibiity which rests upon them as a
race They feel that they are fronting.
in this convention, an epochal incident
in negro history They have been nom
mating presidents for the Republican
party for quarter of a century but
they have been doing SO without credit
and without reward
Now for the first time, they hold
the balance of power clearly in their
hands under the eye and expecta
ton of the country. and by united and
coherent action they can name the Re
I,e il
the naming of him
Chance For Negro ldeallsts.
Therefore, the best of them-the
leaders who have ideals-have been
inspired by these words. and have held
great mass meeting at the institu-
tona church of Chicago, at which
manifesto denouncing every negro who
sells his vote pedging themselves to
expose any negro who shanfes his race
with a bride, and appealing to every
negro delegate of the IS to count this
opportunity and responsibility above
all material consideration and party in
structions as a supreme opportunity t"
vindcate the integrity Of the race and
to justify their citizenship by voting
without prejudice and without MONEY
for the best interests Of the country as
they see it in the issues and character
of the two great candidates before the
convention.
And with the blazqn and approval
of this notably fine and high racial
action they appeal TO the millions Of
their fellow citizens, through the Hears
newspapers, which they regard as
among the highest and most consistent
friends and helpers of the negro race.

the speech Of Chairman Root last night

THAT covenant is between the weak
and the strong" he said
II am here to represent the state Of
Washington because the regularly
elected delegation, headed by Senator
Poindexter, was ruled out of this con
vention.
THE gentleman who preceded me
said about 1000 votes were cast in
Kings county, Washington. The exact
facts are that Roosevelt got 5000 votes
and Taft got 500, and that was about
the proportion to which he was emit
tied"
Allen charged that the national com
mittee had refused to examine the rec
ords They had agrehd to. he said but
Senator Poindexter was met at the
bottom of the steps as he left the COM
mittee room to allow the examination
and told that he had been unseated.
WHO made those records?" shouted
a delegate
THE people Of Washington wrote
them, Allen replied.
Allen then told OF the convention Of
Chillan county. He asserted that the
credentials committee in that county
had ruled out the Roosevelt men.
He then went on with the various
phases of the Washington contest.
Are you going to abide by the de
cision of this convention? ," demanded

shire

roar
