| should be admitted to his convention
He wisely followed the advice of such
men as Julian Harris of Atlanta, and
John NJ. Parker of New Orleans, both
| Southern born and reared. While 1t
may seem inconsistent to describe the
negro geographically. as he did, it is
sometimes wise to be inconsistent and
this was one of the times.
TRIBUTE TO THE NEGRO.
The old Republican party has been a
farce in the SOUTH because the negro
was recognized and allowed in its
councils. Any other party could only
result the same under the same condi-
tions. But right here I want to pay
my tribute to the negro. No set of
people deserve more consideration than
they for what they have accomplished
in improvement for themselves, spirit
ually, mentally and physically, since
their emancipation. And there is moth
ing more sublime to me in all history
than their conduct during the war that
resulted in their freedom. Their mas
tiers rode away to the war, many to
be gone four years, and more never to
return, and left their wives and chill
dren in the care of these black people.
If there was an instance of faithless-
ness, I have never heard of it. On the
contrary, I have heard it referred to
gratefully by southern people thou
sands of times and I predict that at
no distant day a monument will be
erected by the Southern people to COM
memorate this beautiful page in his
tory.
A people possessing such fidelity,
patience and cheerfulness as do the
negro race, cannot fail. Although they
have had to reach the civilization of
the white man in America over the
bridge of slavery, their future Is as
sured. The attempt to inject them too
early as factor in the political life
of the country, has been the greatest
handicap they have had to contend
with, and, in my judgment, had the
fifteenth amendment been omitted from
the Constitution, the negro would have
been one hundred per cent farther
along the road that he Is now travel
ling so patiently and well.
Furthermore, I remember pleasantly
many, many instances Of devotion and
loyalty on the part of my negro fol-
lowers, when was participating in the
so-called Republican party Of Florida,
and learning from experience the point
of view that I am now attempting to
illustrate in its true psychological
meaning. This history is not designed
to injure or humiliate them, but 1t is
the hope Of the writer that It may
help to put in their true light some
things that have been much misun-
derstood, and that the result may be
of some small weight at least in bene-
fetal results to the negro.
If 1 had to trust my fortunes with
an equal number of negroes or So
called southern white Republican poll
ticians, 1 would unhesitatingly trust it
to the negroes. 1 am theirfriend and
well-wisher and expect so long as
may live to do what I can toward any
movement tending to the improvement
of their welfare moral and material.
THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY.
The new party is a great movement
and represents in a great degree an
effort at political regeneration, and
hunger for national righteousness"

THE CZOLGOSZe DYNASTY
Or the Reign of Roosevelt and Taft

Man proposes but God disposes, and
every event Is the result Of the law of
cause and effect. In my opinion Theo-
dore Roosevelt would never during his
life time have occupied the presiden-
tiaI chair except through such an
agency as did directly place him there,
or through the natural death of Nc
Kinley while president.
And consequently neither would

In this connection the question as
risen in my mind that when Roose-
welt selected Taft for his successor.
did ne not do so feeling assured that
Taft would prove totally inefficient,
and unsatisfying to the people,, and
that in 1912 the people would rise up
and demand Roosevelt again for their
president?
No one probably knew the workings
and leanings of the Taft mind SO well
as did Roosevelt. 1t would seem that
he must have known better than any
one else what many believed then, and
what has become generally accepted
since, that Taft neither through tenn
permanent, education nor environment,
was a At leader of the Progressive
thought that was asserting itself at
this period, and OF which Roosevelt
claimed to be father, trustee and
guardian

may be wrong, but thought so
then and think so now. Roosevelt is
emotional in his temperament and
such people have periods of spiritual
exaltation during which they say
things that at the time they firmly
believe they mean. When they be-

men. When Roosevelt, on the night of
his election in 1904 in the flush of VIC
tory over the unprecedented majority
of the voters Of his country, made his
promise TO his countrynen that under
no circumstances would he again be a
candidate. he was, in my judgment,
experiencing one of these periods of

from their respective states are unani-
mously for the old flag and an appro-
priation and the full dinner pail-for

So Hitchcock had charge OF the
southern battallions, and kept them
marking time, until it was fully de-
cided by Roosevelt who should succeed
him, and when the name of Taft was
handed to him, he dutifully passed IT
on, and the hats we're in the air, for

always thought Cortelyou was too
decent man to be mixed up in the
Roosevelt regime, and while his claims
may not have been incontestably valid
in the eyes of the Master, it would
seem that he might have been handled
less brutally. But Hitchcock answered
the purposes Of Roosevelt and he
made him Chairman of the National
Committee, and Taft got him along,

by the spirit of the eternal fitness OF
things, and been moved to put aside
Taft and Jim Sherman and nominate
a ticket thoroughly representative ole

had nominated Ballinger and Hitch

And Roosevelt had another man in

PENNSYLVANIA WINS
 CHAMPIONSHIP MEET
R. A. Gardner Makes Pole Vault Rec.

Exceeding the fondest hopes of their supporters, the track team of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania carried off the honors in the thirty seventh annual Intercollegiate championship meet on Franklin field Saturday. by margin that none had looked for Five of the records of the association were shat tered, one of them being a worlds mark; upsets in form occurred that made the followers of the sport gasp, and rarely has 1t been the fortune of spectators at an athletic competition 10 see crowded into one afternoon so many thrilling battles for first honors. Not race, even those In which the old marks went by the boards, was any sort of walk away. and in two of the track records that were made 1t Is likely that the second man in each beat the best previous performance.
 The greatest record of the day was made by Robert A. Gardner of Yale. in the pole vault, when he topped the crossbar with bit to spare at 19 feet 1 inch. Harry Babcock of Co., lumbia, who established the mark last year of 12 feet 3-4 inches, was forced to bow to the Yale man, but 1t was not without a bitter struggle. Each of them cleared the bar at 12 feet 1-2 inches, when the stick was pushed up to mark that five years ago was thought unattainable.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
MARKET FAIRLY BROAD.
Closed Strong With Large Percentage
 of Substantial Gains.


 New York. June 5.-Stocks manifest cd further tendency to harden today, particularly in the anthracite and cop per divisions. Dealings, palpably of professional origin, were in larger vol tune than on the previous day, and as the session advanced they compre- hended various standard issues, with the usual cratic movement in the spe- cialties. Despite the early dullness, the market was fairly broad in the sense that more than the usual num- Der of securities were quoted. The early afternoon witnessed the custom ary period of lassitude but the final hour, in which the average level of prices was highest, was fairly active although much of the trading was in the minor metal stocks. The closing was strong with a large percentage of substantial gains.
 Aside from another large issue of April railway reports and highly op- timistic interview by an acknowledg- cd market leader the day was devoid of news. As for the railway returns, they were not altogether calculated to inspire confidence The financial com munity, especially that element vague ly referred to as the large interests, seemed to evince more interest in the forthcoming money trust' inquiry and conditions abroad than Tn the market itself. Private adv1ces from London suggest that the expiration of the month may disclose an awkward sit uation at more than one continental capital and precautions to meet emer- gencies are being taken here. Berlin was again in negotiation with our l bankers for additional credits to meet the nnid-year strain, but so far as 1 could be learned few large loans were i effected.

 States at Stockholm.

Hawaiian swimmers have for many years been noted for speed and endur ance. but they have never competed in this country until now, and there is a fair prospect of the representative from that territory. Duke Kahanam ku, representing this country in the Olympic games in Sweden. He be- longs to the Hui Malu Swimming club of Honolulu and holds the 50 and 100 yard records.
 He is also credited with 45 4-5 sec onds for the century in salt water, which is fifth of 8 second faster than the worlds record. held by Cecil Haley of Australia, but the time was made in practice and Is not a record. His best time for the distance in fresh water is 55 2-5 seconds.
 Previous to his arrival in this coun- try few months ago Kahanamoku never swan in an indoor tank. and on his first appearance at Pittsburg he started out with tremendous speed, but the unaccustomed turns wore him out, and he was taken from the water in a fainting condition. On the second oc- casion he did a good deal better He did not win the distance championship there, although he took two sprinting titles. He then went to Pennsylvania to take advantage of the Inc coaching of Kistler, who believes him to be the greatest swimmer in the world. Tn the championship in Chicago last month he made a splendid showing. He will compete in different outdoor meets this summer,

GREAT LAKES TO THE

National Reliability Tour Planned for
 Early Fall.

From the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico will be the route of the 1912 A. A. A. national reliability tour for the Glidden, Anderson and A. A. A. tro- phies. Some fifteen hundred miles will be covered between the City of the Straits and the Crescent City, and while the concluding part of the jour ney will be from Memphis to New Or leans, the itinerary of the northern section has not been decided upon by the special committee in charge. This committee includes Col. Frank M. Joyce of Minneapolis, Lewis R. Speare of Boston, John A. Wilson of Franklin, Pa, W. B. Metzger of Detroit and W. B. Mover of Des Moines. MT. Wilson represented the committee as it's emis- sary to various cities, including Indi- annapolis and Detroit, and the selection of the greatest city in the world, from the automobile manufacturing stand point came about through the com bined activities of the Wolverine Au- tomobile club, chamber of commerce and dealers association, in which A. W. Porter, w. E. Metzger and F. E. Spooner played prominent part
 Though Detroit secured the plum, it is among the possibilities that Indi- annapolis, another of the important au- LomOplIo manuIacCurlng cities, will serve as a night stop of the big caval- cade, which promises to outdo in point of interest any similar event ever held in this country. If 1t had been possi- ble geographically to have done so, the committee would have included Cleve- land. which is the remaining one oi the three cities which supply nine tenths of the self pr 0elled vehicles made in the United -ates.
 The path1nding trip may not take place for several weeks, owing to the condition of the roads, especially in Louisiana There Is pronounced striv- ing for the honor of laying out the route of the Lakes to Gulf tour, which will be covered in detail, and will be added to the national routes which the A.
