FILL HIS SHOES?
Progressiyes Will Accept Man
of Roosevelt Caliber.
Republicans Must Come to Us
to Win, Says ROwelI.
By II. L. RENNICK.

Chicago, June 3-The Progressive
party is ready at any time to accept
a Republican candidate who can III
the place of Theodore Roosevelt
Up to this time. however, the Re-
publicans have shown no unanimity
on any candidate. nor have they pro-
duced a man who can fill Roosevelt
place.
This stand was outlined today by
George w. Perkins. Bull Moose chleI-
tain. He emphasized the Progress
sives willingness to accept Repuol
can candidate, but emphasized even
more the belief that Roosevelt Is the
only man.
1--WE stand on our January state
ment." Perkins said. That does not
necessarily mean Roosevelt. But the
word necessarily of necessity implies
ths,. some other man must be pro-
duced who can fill Roosevelts place.
But there has been no unanimity OF
opinion on any Republican canoloa'e
other than Roosevelt.
I'VE have taken no definite steps
because only about ten per cent OF the
delegates are now here" Perkins said
something definite toward a CONFER
| ence with the Republicans may De
| accomplished early next week.
| Chester A. Rowell, Progressive ma
tional committeeman from Caiifornia,
took practically the same stand as
Perkins He said he was not speaking
for Governor Johnson. but tnat ne
personally believed the Republicans
| had, so far, brought out no acceptaDie
substitute for Roosevelt.
The Republicans want to win, :.
said Rowen They must come to US. "

AGREE ON JAMES
Senator Chosen as Chairman
Democratic Convention.
President Wilson Begins Work
on New Platform.

Washington, June 3.-Senator James
for permanent chairman of the Demo-
cratic national convention and Senator
Stone for chairman of the platform
committee is the slate virtually agreed
upon by President Wilson and his po-
litical advisers. Senator Pomerene, of
Ohio, is still under consideration for
the permanent Craftsmanship but it
seemed almost certain today that SEN
ator James would be chosen.
President Wilson already has begun
work on a draft of the platform. The
president is paying particular atten-
ton to a plank dealing with foreign
affairs. While changes may be made
by the resolutions committee and new
planks added. the frame work will be
made at the White House. The presi-
dents advisers take the position that
inasmuch as the chief fight in the
campaign will be made on the presi-
dents record, he should take a leading
part in making the platform.
Tentative arrangements for the con-
vention include the nomination of the
president Thursday night, June Is, by
John W. Wescott, attorney general of
New Jersey, and the nomination of
Vice President Marshall by Senator
Kern the next morning. Speakers
from many states will second Mr.. Will
sons nomination.
Fred 3. Lynch, national committees
man from Minnesota, and chairman OF
the executive committee, conferred to-
day with administration leaders here
and then left for the Republican con-
vention at Chicago. Administration
leaders insist the president has not YET
decided who will succeed William F.
McCombs as national chairman. Lynch

Call for Help.
Admiral Beatty's call for help was
sent to the British main fleet and
brought Jellicoe and an unknown
number of British battleships to the
scene.
The main battle then ensued with
British battleships in direct engage
mentS with German battleShlpS,
dreadnaughts against dreadnaughts.
During this part of the battle the Ger
mans lost two dreadna lights anG the
British none.
When Admiral Beatty endeaVored

he discoN cred the fleet of German bat
tleships on his left where they had
been hiding behind German battle
cruisers in a mist.
Rctrace to Omen Sea
Admiral Beatty was then forced
to retrace his course to the open sea.
Thus the situation developed with the
German battleships and battle cruisers
fighting against British battle cruisers.
AT this stage of the LATHE the
British were outnumbered by the Ger
mans. The Germans hal no surprises.
There were no seventeen-inch guns in
service.
There was only one Zeppelin, being
the --24, and this was injured and re-
tired.
Most of the firing was at a range
of five or six miles.
Thus the four phases were COM

The City Manager Plan.

lTNAYLQRD, C., CUMMIN, city manager Of

pished there by the city manager plan in one year

Cor many of them, for it is not to be expected
that they are all Of the same opinion) entertain
the same view of Mr.. Cummin. To be on the
safe side, one should make some allowance for
new-broom assertions. At the same time, it is
good to see enthusiasm over what has been ac-
complished, People are by nature hopeful and
SO they expect great deal OF any new plan Of
government. 1t often seems that it would be bet
ter if we expected less of new plans and looked
more to individual participation in public affairs
to get better results from government.
. Here are some of the advances" listed by
the city manager of Jackson and made without an
increase in the tax levy. The health officer and
the city physician who formerly gave part time
to public work, give full time A tu-
berculoss hospital has been equipped and opened
Band concerts were given every Sunday through
out the year. A modern type of boulevard lights
was established. A purchasing agent was en-
ployed and all cash discounts were taken. A.
waste water survey was made which stopped a
waste Of several hundred thousand gallons day.
Coal was bought on an ash and heat unit basis.
A firm of certified accountants put in d modern
method of bookkeeping and scientific budget
was adopted. A floating deficit of $4,000 carried
for years is about to be wiped out, Cost account
ing on construction work done by the city EN-
Ployes was established, Appointment Of munich
pal employees was taken out Of politics"
This is good deal for city Of $1,000 popula-
ton to achieve in year, and if all Of this has
been done without raising the tax rate, we should
think that the residents Of Jackson would be very
well satisfied, indeed. a.EFsAl Il
The city manager plan has an advantage over
the ordinary commission plan Of government in
that responsibility us more centralized. The
weakness of the commission plan is that it has
too many heads of government, and every head
may proceed on his own hook" to a large extent
The city manager plan now, holds the place in
the public eye that the commission plan held FIVE
or six years ago " .s%
