Large canvas portraits were feat

Over the main entrance was a

Big Demonstration by Delegates When
Ex-President Appears-Lasts
Over an Hour.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Chicago.-The second day of the
Progressive convention was taken up
by Col. Theodore Roosevelt and his
confession OF faith
When the ex-president appeared on
the stage there was "a great demon
stratson lasting over an hour He
was bowling and shaking hands CON
tinuously during the demonstration
Some of the main points of the
confession of faith" follow:
Recall of judicial decisions as first
advocated by Colonel Roosevelt in
the spring campaign. and for which he
was subject to wide criticism. Roose-
welt now advocates its extension to
apply to federal as we'll as state
courts. He favors the establishment
of machinery to make easier of amend
ment both the national and state con-
stitutions, especially with the view of
prompt action on certain judicial de-
cisions.
Use of government to assist work
men to become part owners of the
business in which they are employed.
The government system should be
shaped so that the public servant
when he cannot conscientiously car
ry cut the wishes of the people, shall
at their desire leave his influences
and not misrepresent them in office.
Colonel Roosevelt did not suggest
the method by which he would bring
this about and there vas much specu-
lation as to whether he had in mind
a fundamental change in the Ameri.
can system of government. BY some
ii was interpreted as a declaration in
favor of extension of the recall to in
clude legislative, executive and judi
eial officers of the national govern
ment from the president down

ROOSEVELT AND THE NEGRO
Expresses Views on Question-'9egro
Delegates Thrown Out.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Chicago.-The troublesome South
ern negro question, which for time
threatened dissension in the first con
yention of the National Progressive
party finally was disposed of when
the convention itself, without a dis
senting voice and without discussion,
adopted the report of the Credentials
Committee unseating both the white
and negro delegates from Florida and
throwing out the negro delegates from
Mississippi.
Colonel Roosevelt, during his con
fession of faith" was heckled by a
spectator. who interrupted him with
the demand:
What about the negro question:"
Instantly the convention was in an
uproar, but Colonel Roosevelt silenced
those who objected to the question
with the statement that no one could
ask him question he was afraid of.
The colonel then proceeded at same
length to state his views on the negro
question. He declared he hoped con
ditions might so improve in the South
that at future Progressive conyen-
tions those states might send as dele
gates negroes who would have the
character and standing of the negro
delegates from West Virginia, who.
he asserted We're in those respects the
equal of their white associates
In taking the stand he did, Colonel
Roosevelt asserted he was sitting in
advance conditions which had led to
the crushing disaster and death of
the great Republican party itself
