in response of inquiries from the Unit

ITS P0SI19A FALSE
Progressive Organ Shown to Be
:. Wrong in Premises.
Republican National Convention to
Change Basis of Representation Is
Not Borrowed idea-Roose-
Veit's Position In 1903.

The Evening Mall Is mistaken il II
thinks it can discourage the calling
OF Republican national convention
OF representation by saying that those
who favor the change are copying the
present rules OF the Progressive party.
1t said the other afternoon:
They would have Republican con-
yentions adopt the identical rules gov
erning the election and seating OF
delegates in national Progressive con-
ventions, and they would make the
basis OF representation precisely that
OF the national Progressive party-ap-
plying especially TO the south
The Progressive party has no pat
ent on the plan of apportioning dis
trict representation in national con
ventions according to party strength.
II has itself not yet put such a scheme
in force. The delegates 10 the Pro-
gressive convention OF 1912 were
elected on the old geographical basis.
Moreover. If the Progressives are GO
ing 10 apply the new method in 1916
they Will only be appropriating an
idea which many Republicans have
been championing for years and
which came near being accepted by
the Republican national convention of
1908.
Who is chiefly responsible for the
failure 70 abandon the rotten Dor
ough' system of representation five
years ago? There can be no doubt
that ii President Roosevelt had said
the word a majority wZlld have been
mustered for the Burke resolution In
recent speech in indianapolis at Il
meeting called to consider party reor-
ganiZation eX-Representative James
Watson made this statement:
Indiana voted in 1908 unanimously
to cut down the southern representa-
ton over which we quarreled at Chi
cago. Then we received a telegram
from Theodore Roosevelt, whose hand
reached out to stay the action which
would have done away with the south
ern delegate question. He said the
southern delegates would get mad and
beat Taft"
President Roosevelt did not stay the
action Of Indiana, or New York, or
Pennsylvania. But he probably con
WINGED many delegates from other
northern states of the necessity OF
keeping the southern contingent in
good humor. He had it in his power
10 help the Burke resolution through,
but he allowed the system to be per
petuated from which he was himself
afterward TO suffer
New Yorks record is entirely clear
on the question of representation. 1t
gave solid vote for the Burke
scheme. Mr.. Root only voices the set
tied opinion OF this state when he
suggests doing now what should have
been done in 1908. He has the Re
publican party of New York behind
him, and It can make no possible diff
ference to Republicans here whether
or not the Progressive party has ap-
propriated method of representation
which they were in favor OF applying
in Republican conventions fear years
before the Progressive party was
born.-New York Tribune

REPORT THAT BOARD
HAS REACHED DECISION
Thaw Lost on Two Important Points
Yesterday-Fa allied to Prove That He
Entered Canada as a Tourist-De-
MED Writ of Prohibition.

COATICOOK, p. O., Sept. 5.-Harrv
K. Thaw was not " railroads.&c. across
the border by the immigration authori-
ties yesterday as his counsel had PIE
dicted. \ special board OF inquiry sat
on his case from 10 a. m., uutii nearly
$50 p. m, then adjourned until 9.@t
d. IN. today.
Thaw was ON the stand most OF the
day and made "a good witness. Toward
the close of the afternoon session his
inquisitors gradually worked into the
question of his sanity and though his
counsel violently objected it was of no
avail and this line Of Interrogation will
be taken up again today.
Though staving off deportation for
the day, Thaw lost in two particulars
| His lawyers were denied a writ of
prohibition by Superior Judge Matthew
| Hutchinson ut Sherbrooke, the same
! Judge who sustained the writ of habeas
corpus which cast Thaw out of the
| Sherbroole jail Wednesday,, and he
! failed to establish before the board the
contention that he had entered Canada
as tourist and like "Jack' johnson,
/ should he allowed to continue to his
/ destination. He could produce no
! through ticket to any point outside
/ Canada There was in his possession
ticket to Detroit, but unfortunately
for Thaw, it had been bought at Coati-
cook.
Unable TO show tnat he had gone in
TO the Dominion at any recognized port
of entry, Thaw was practically con
victed of entering by stealth, and OH
4 this charge alone he can he deportcd
But on this charge he could appeal tc
the minister of the interior, while nc
appeal would lie should he be found in

A pile driver has been set up on a
big float in the Connecticut river at
the mouth of MILESTONE brook, power
being furnished by a donkey engine
which is also on the float. A gang of
men is driving piles at the mouth of
the brook, near tine foundation of the
old Crosby grain elevator. The piles
viii be cut off some distance above

a point back Of the American building
annex. where the railroad bed has been
widcned this summer, and on this
bridge will be laid the Boston & Maine
tracks TO connect with the new line
from South Vernon. The cement

Will be retained as part of the foun-
dation Of the new railroad bridge.
