Oakland, Cal, Oct. 11.-One resigna-
ton from the Oakland center of the
California Civic league and a protest
by other women in attendance have
resulted because FIVE members of a
coiored women's club were present at
a recent Oakland center luncheon.
I'VE are all workers for q broader
humanitarianism, but our principles
do not presuppose social equality with
the people we are endeavoring to aid,
declared Mrs. Clement Harry Miller,
the woman who has rendered her res.
ignation. She is a leader in club cir
Giles and is member of a widely
known southern family.
There are several other women oil
the same social position as myself
equally incensed because they were
forced to associate with colored We
men at strictly social function" de
clared Mrs. Miller, in discussing hel
resignation. The feeling against tht
intrusion of the colored women wa,
not alone confined to the southern wo
men present, but TO many northern wo
men whom / heard object
81 would have liked TO have with
drawn from the luncheon immediatelI
with my guest when discovered thu
presence OF negroes, but refraineC
/ from doing so from a higher sense o
duty and out of consideration for m,
fellow workers in the club, who's
feelings might have been hurt. / be

action in inviting the colored wome
has been praised as being fair an
broad minded.

the Mccormick leaders. It is felt by
the Funk followers that the McCol.
mick faction viii not sanction any
move leading toward inauguration or
the republican and progressive parties
and that it is for persons other than
those in control of the state commit
tee TO start the movement.
1t is certain that the officers of the
state committee viii repudiate the
steps taken by Senator Harris and
Representatives Jayne, Snite ana Sher-
man. The fight within the state com.
mittee will be >reopened and in all
probability the Funk forces will make
an effort to GUST Mr. Robins as chair
man and Mr. Iekes as secretary of
the state committee.
Explaining why they negotiated with
the republican leaders without FIRST
having obtained the consent of the
state committee, Representative Snite
said:
THE state committee was hand
picked and does not represent the vot-
ers. The committee was selected fol-
lowing the primaries in 1879 and there
has been no opportunity for the mem
bers of the party to elect committee
men under the provisions of the pri.
mary law.
NOT LEAVING PARTY.
'The progressive members of the
legislature were elected by the voters
Therefore they are representative of
the party. 1t is fitting that members
of the legislature rather than the state
committee should take the lead in a
movement for the amalgamation of the
two parties.
None of the progressives who took
part in last nights conference are
leaving the progressive party to go
to the republican party. We simply
wish to bring both parties together.
In the campaigns of next year il
may be that the best plan would be to
agree upon fusion tickets, each party
retaining its identity. The fusion tick,
cts would enable us to defeat our com.
mon enemy, the democrats. Unless
there is fusion of some kind in Cook
county the democrats will control the
county board and other county offices
The same situation applies to the leg
islature."
