before the Frenchman was due to arrive.
When he did arrive it was fully half an
hour before his carriage could force its
way through the station plaza into the
Strand. Cheering thousands ran all the
way to the hotel where Carpenter will
stay until the fight. trying desperately to
get near enough to the vehicle to seize
their idols hand.
An Unusual Demonstration.
No worlds champion ever received
such an ovation and Carpenter has yet
to prove he is even a second-rater. All
day long special excursions of Paris
fans have been pouring into London,
and last night the town was alive with
French men and women singing praises
Of their first aspirant to white hopedom.
With this influx the advance sale of
seats jumped ahead and until s o'clock
last night Dick Burge announced that
the sales had exceeded the seventy
thousand-dollar mark. Nobody attempts
to say that this contest begins to be as
important from any viewpoint as a dozen
of others London has seen in recent
years. but it is almost a certainty that
the gate will be the third largest in the

record to this effect. Our party is,
therefore, subject to the charge that
it is lukewarm, or even antagonistic
to the interests of organized wage
earners.
"on both these subjects the Pro-
gressiVe party has placed itself posi-
lively and definitely on record in OPP
position to Mr. Perkins. But the fact
that the executive leader and recog-
niZed spokesman for the party is an
active member of the governing COM
mittees of the Steel Corporation and
the International Harvester Com
pany, the two great monopolies which
have succeeded most completely in
exploiting the public and crushing
organized labor, has led to natural
and unfortunate confusion in the
public mind"
Pinchot's letter then charges that
Perkins, through the Progressive
party's official bulletin, through pub
lie speeches and interviews, and in
pamphlets printed as Progressive
party literature, has conducted an ex-
tensive protrust propaganda, ealcu-
lated to convince the party and the
public that the trusts are watchful
and sacred institutions, and that the
Progressive party fully agrees with
him in those views"
