KeynOtes of Bull Moose
Platform Are Americanism
and Full Preparedness

Chicago, June S.-Ringing declara-
tions of Americanism and for pre-
paredness, military, spiritual, econo-
mic and industrial, are keynotes of
the Progressive national platform
completed to-day in cooperation with
the Republican convention platform
builders. The Progressive platform
leaders hoped to present their docu-
ment to the convention today or to-
morrow at the latest.
The "Americanism" planks, minus
direct reference to hypenism de-
clared for upholding American rights
on land and-sea, guarding "the honor
and influence of our nation" and main
tenance of "the integrity of interna-
tional law"
The platform also declares that the
supreme duty of civilization is to make
peace permanent after the war, for
which this nation should be prepared
in every sphere. Regarding military
preparedness the platform declares for
"a navy restored to at least second
rank in battle efficiency" a standing
army of 250,000 men and "a system
of universal military training-a citi-
zen soldiery-controlled by the Ma
tional government"
Regarding Mexico, the platform as
serts that every resource of the gov
ernment should be forthwith used to
end these conditions.
other platform declarations are for

CONVENTION IS
VERY PATRIOTIC
Bands and Singing Clubs Make
Hotel Lobbies Vibrate
With State Tunes
[By a stafr Correspondent

Chicago. June s. - This is the most
patriotic convention known since the
Civil War. All one needs to do is to
tune and everyone takes off his hat
and stands at attention. Men who
probably went walking on when the
band played the Star Spangled Ban
ner at home get excited when they
hear America and tell their neighbors
to uncover.
The Roosevelt people are making a
tremendous play on Americanism and
as Chicago was considerably stirred up
by the preparedness parade on Satur-
day and the general sentiment is for
defense planks which will beat any,
thing the Democrats may do 1t does
not take much TO stir up enthusiasm.
Convention crowds are given to waving
the starry banner anyhow and when
you have rainy day or two and peo-
pie have to stay inside patriotism gets
started without much trouble.
A band which has been employed by
the Sherman people to visit hotel lob
bies, the Columbus Glee Club and some
the Congress are largely responsible
for the euphonic end of the patriotic
outbursts. The general atmosphere
does not rest. You are standing peace
ably with a friend in hotel corridor
whe nthe crowds about you part as
though a motor was coming and you
are standing with your hat off while
the Red, White and Blue" is played
about you. Then the crowd will join
in the singing of America" and prob
ably before you get done you are hum
ming the air Wake Up, America" or
You'll Be There"
1T Is astonishing the number of State
tunes. Ohio, Kentucky, Maryland, IL
linois and other States have special
airs and the Southerners get up and
howl when the bands play Dixie" 1t
is a great convention for patriotism
and the music helps lot.
Here is one of the popular patriotic
songs:
"The American Flag"
Your flag and my flag, and how
it flies to-day
In your land and my land and half
world away;
Rose red and blood red its
stripes forever gleam.
Snow white and soul white. the
good forefathers' dream;
Sky blue and true blue with
stars that gleam Alright;
The gloried guidon of the day. a
shelter through the night.
Your flag and my flag, and, oh,
how much 1t holds,
Your land and my land, secure
within it's folds
Your heart and my heart beat
quicker at the sight,
Sun kissed and wind-tossed, the
red and blue and white;
The one flag-the great flag
the flag for me and you,
Glorifies all else beside, the red
and white and blue.

SUFFRAGSTS ARE

[By a STAFF Correspondent. ]

Chicago, ILL.,, June s.-The average

are swishing around in this crowd.

anything, they are wearing more

ments.
There have been two suffrage, or, as
they call II here. women's party, con-
ventions under way here for couple
of days. with the Congressional Union
holding afternoon teas at the Black
stone. No one seems to have ascer-
tanned why there should be two wom-
ems parties, but the most plausible
explanation is that the cause is not as
well supplied with generalcies as q
Mexican army.
Watching Pennsylvania
The suffragists are going at their
conventions and caucus meetings with
a good bit of seriousness and as they
have right to vote here they are on
the same plane as us mere men. They
are bright, alert, well-posted women,
and the way a couple talked to n
squad of newspaper men from Penn
sylvania about the recent Crime" was
treat. They could not understand
why we would not go out and carry
the banner through the siXty-seven

Chairman Harding then presented
Senator Borah, of Idaho. There was a
good bit of q demonstration for him.
"A nation which declares itself too
proud to fight" said Borah, will
soon be regarded as too cowardly to

Borah spoke eighteen minutes, hold

then Herbert Parsons moved that the

BADGES OF ALL
KINDS ARE WORN
Republican Emblem Cost
Couple of Dollars; Prettily
Ornamented
[By a Stan Corrcspondentl

Chicago, June 8. - Thousands of
dollars have been spent for the badges
for the two conventions held here this
week. The official emblems provided
for the Republican convention are es-
timated to cost a couple of dollars
apiece and the Progressive designs are
not so far behind. They are hard to
get and those who are able to accumu-
late two or three stalk about like field
marshals wearing the decorations of
hard-fought campaigns. Some of the
badges have been selling for figures
which would astonish even a collector
of such souvenirs.
The official Republican badges have
the national capitol in either old gold
or German silver and the official rank
on a bar in red, blue or some other
colored enamel according to the classi-
fication. The pendant is spread eagle
and a wreath of laurel. 1t contains
the words Republican National Con-
vention, 1916" 1t is ornamented with
the stars and stripes in enamel. Even
the pages have badges that look like
knights of foreign order.
Badges of All Descriptions,
The Progressive official badge is cop
per or silver colored according to class
with a big capitol dome at the top.
The rank of the wearer is shown by
bars and some of the officials look like
winners of twenty years militia rifle
matches. Then there is a tri-color rib
bon and the medal contains the effi-
gies OF Washington, Jefferson and Lin
coin
Then there are the State badges.
The Fairbanks people must have spent
a small fortune on the gilt and enamel
affairs which their partisans wear.
The Root people also have some hand
some badges, but the State delegations
outdo all candidates. These badges
are mostly on geographical plans, Cali
fornia, Maine and other States have
pendants cut in the outlines of their
Commonwealth and Names emblem is
ornamented with a pine tree in green
enamel. Indiana Roosevelt men have
a picture of the colonel as big as a
saucer and Kansas sports the newt
able sunflowers.
Candidates badges are chiefly cellu-
loid portraits, although the Sherman
people have ribbons with the name of
their favorite stitched on in gold.
There are no official Hughes or Knox
badges or buttons except what volun-
teers choose to provide, a condition
which excites much comment. For a
candidate as much in the limelight as
Hughes it would seem that badges
would be a necessary adjunct. But
this convention is breaking records
even in the badge line. A. B. II.

Kill Three When Negro Mob

m HOUGH some people and

fact President Wilson has not

Of some sort with some coun-
try, that point Of view is by no

strange view that it is alright
for America to be at peace with
the world and to refrain from
that brand Of diplomatic bug
juice so strongly advocated by
the jingoes.
