On those days more than one thou

not get the German vote; that he will
lose the pacihst vote: that he viii
lose the reactionary vote. And the
Progressives patiently sitting in. the

Slowly yesterday, as delegations or.
ganized for the two conventions, as
old friends met and talked Of old
times and wiped out old scores, the
spirit Of the two conventions about
to assemble here in Chicago became
visible and more or less carnate.
Each convention represents a diff.
ferent idea in politics and each pre-
sents It in q different way. The Pro
gressives present q definite, cohesive
face to the situation. They are for

The delegates have made their bee
line for home. The Coliseum looks
like the morning after. The various and
sundry hostelries have swept out tons
of junk that you might expect two or
three national conventions to leave be-
hind. The street banners and decora-
tons have come down. Chicago has
returned to. its everyday work. But
it looks like it needed sleep and It
seems ready to give up hotel victuals
for q while.
Perhaps there would be greater sat-
isfaction all around If related to you

sideshows in Chicago just as wrote

The Republicans don't know what
they want. Half of them want to beat
Roosevelt worse than they want to
beat Wilson, and the other half 10 d.
vided into minorities that have no
definite opinion about anything.
Teddy Their Man.
Against this group the Progressives
stand united upon q few simple ideas.
Roosevelt 10 their candidate and their
creed. They care little primarily
about the platform. If they can get
their candidate. But II the Republi.
cans do not take Roosevelt and nom.
mate some man-like Burton or
Weeks or Fairbanks-they have been
assured that the colonel will run on
the Progressive ticket.
Making the Platform.
In brief. the Progressive program
is this-Roosevelt and a platform con-
tanning the points Of essential agree.
ment between the two parties. Such
a platform is being prepared now as
q working draft for the committees on
resolutions that will be elected to-
day by the various state delegations.
Second, Roosevelt. on the Progressive
ticket only. and the most radical plat
form he will fndorse. Third. Murdoch,
Pinchot. Johnson. Raymond Robins or
Garfield upon platform as radical as
the Progressive convention can write.
With these ends before them the
Prosressives are as blithe as blue
jays They are not doing the conven-
tons worrying. Yet 1t is q tremen-
dously serious place-this Michigan
avenue these days. The singing, the
bands, the banners. the passions and
emotions Of 1912 are all missing here
today.
That convention was not a conyen-
ton at all. It was q cabaret! This
convention-considering the two as
one-seems to be more like a PRAYER
meeting or a funeral than a conyen.
ton. Yet there is much more social
demonstration this year than four
years ago.
Women Add Gayety.
The women. who are beginning to
appear in dozen delegations in each
convention. are giving . gay color to
the crowd. There are dinners and re-
ceptions. and all sorts Of social doinxs
this year-and the deadline between
the parties is not socially marked as
It was at the convention four years
ago. Yet because the display Of emo.
lions IL waning the hotels lack inter.

dynasty has fallen. 1t may rise. but

TUESDAY

Yesterday developed one important
fact in the political situation-ths Pro-
sressives propose to 20 ahead and
nominate Roosevelt. The Hughes
statement did not satisfy them. The
bull moose delegates got their badges
yesterday and not . man behind .
badge had . pleasant word for the
Hughes speech. 1t lacked . fighting
quality.
To the ProEressives the Hughes
speech seemed to have . kind of be-
yond-the-Alpslies-Italy ring to It. It
was all Just between US girls.
Hughes Out Of Itf
Hence the ProGressives figured that
% far as Hughes as q compromise
10 concerned. he is out Of 1t. No other
possible candidate before the Ropub.

Progressives. So they decided.

nomination eariy-not later than Fri.

them with little interest and no en-
thusiasm. will be a fearful strain on
their national emotions. and they are
an emotional group.
And 1t IL absolutely certain that
until Justice Hughes does make an
uneQuivocal declaration in favor Of
stiff foreign policy and prepared
mes program sharply contrasted to
that of President Wilson, the Pro-
gressives will not accept Justice
Hughes. and they will nominate
Colonel Roosevelt.
Old Bitterness Gone.
Now all this talk bristles with fight.
Yet the situation in the Chicago hotel
lobbies Is anything but belligerent.
The state delegations to the two con-
ventions, with scarcely any exception.
are excellently friendly. The old bit
terness of four years ago is gone. Pro-
gressives and Conservatives have no
political feud on. From the humblest
sage-brush leader to the big FIVE,
Barnes and Crane and Smoot and
Hemenway and Penrose on the Re-
publican side of the house, and from
the most incurable lunatic Of the
fringe to the sanest leader Of the con-
servative Progressives, pleasant little
conferences are being held in every
hotel in town.
All day today the delegates have
talked things over. And now they
know about where their opponents
stand. The Republicans have been
permitted to feel the cool steel barrel
of the gun under the Progressive olive
branch, and the Progressives have
found out that the favcrite son is in
high disfavor at home.

FRIDAY

The Progressive conventi0a III day
yesterday and into tie night dsvok11
itself assiduously to the task Of max
ing q record upon which Il can take
Colonel Roosevelt to the people - .
third party candidate.
Every minute Of the time since he
convention assembled yesterday Il
had been within ten minutes of the
order Of nominations for president.
II at any time the Republican con
vention had shown . desire to STAN
pede to any candidate not acceptable
to the Progressives the Progressives
could have accomplished the nom
nation Of Colonel Roosevelt u nvs
minutes.
But what the convention was doing
was making public show Of patience.
The Progressives desired TO show
the country that they did mot force The
nomination Of Colonel Roosevelt b.
fore the Republicans bad . chance 70
nominate him. nor even attempt 70
bring about the Roosevelt nomination
before the temper Of the Repubiiean
convention toward him accurately was
known to the country. 30 they decdd.
ed to lot the Republicans take at Least
two and perhaps three ballots showing
rather definitely that the Republicans
would mot take him ~ their own can
didate, before he was nominated b.

THURSDAY

The contest in Chicago today has
developed into . 24-hour foot race not
between men but between convsu.
lions. II the Progressives can get
Roosevelt nominated before the Re-
publicans get Hughes nominated. they
feel that Hughes will not accept. II.
on the other hand, the Republicans CA
get Hughes nominated before the Pro
gressives can get Roosevelt nominated
the, Republicans feel that Roosevelt
will not accept.
The nomination. which every one
figured should come Saturday In both
conventions, may now come Friday At
ternoon or night. The noisy demon-
strations for Roosevelt in the Progress
sive convention yesterday revealed
something more than mere ciaQue. Il
revealed an unsuitable purpose ON the
part of the Progressives to name
Roosevelt.
II 10 unthinkable that the Progres-
sive convention should get itself In Q
mood to nominate Hughes. And what
IL more. last night ut midnight the
fight was raging In the Progressive
platform committee to draft b plank

No First chsles.
The Republicans have no flrse choice
upon whom they can unite. and they
have NO second choice They would
like to nominate Root. There can be
no question but they would nominate
Root II they dared. But they don't
dare. They have the votes to do It
but they lack the courage.
With Hughes they have the courage.
but not the votes to do 1t. Fer msn
like Penrose and Barnes and Crane
dislike Hughes deeply.
With Roosevelt the Republicans
have neither the vote nor the courage
for his nomination. An the elements
Of the steam roller are here. But they
are not assembled. The roller thus
far has not been steamed up. No one
has authority to put It together. NO
one has Q license to drive.

The Progressivss have explained
that they wish to make up Q NJ
jority in the country Of mea Who
think alike. who. when their votes ere
cast. will form . majority that means
one definite thing. or . minority that
means one definite thing.
The radical Moose have another feel
ing about t. They for ten years have
been working along lines OF greatest
resistance and they like light. The
Republicans for . gensration, since
the days Of Blaine. have been seeking
to 90 forward along lines Of least re-
distance. So the two types Of mind
understand one another but vaguely.
And It may b set down ~ IN item
Of news that the conferences between
the leaders. big and little. Of the two
parties have failed. The old bitter
nssses have not been revived. II the
Republicans concsds many things the
coalition may be brought sbout. But
today the big outstanding fact Of the
convention 10 that the conferences
have failed and that the Progressive
propose to put out . third ticket.
They Have No Doubt.
There seems to be no doubt In their
mind that the colonel will run
on 1t. And what gives the Progres.
sives cheer 10 the fact that now
that Hughes has eliminated himself
from the Progressive program he also
has eliminated himself from the Re.
publican program. For he will mot
run ON . third ticket. He would have
to get OF the bench. And he will not
get on the bench and give up life
Job for the remote chance that he will
have of being elected president with
Colonel Roosevelt running on the Pro.
gressive ticket. rallying the forces Of
Americanism and preparedness away
from the Republican ticket.
As the Progressives see the strategy
of the situation. 1t 10 to nominate the
colonel, to get his acceptance. and
then. having chsckmated Hughes. Ia
60 in to win the election, with the
pussy-foot vote divided between thu
two old parties. while the radical
Progressives and the advocates Of q
stif foreign policy and . policy Of
preparedness are rallying under one
dag.

SLAVERY IN EARLY DAYS
African Slave Trade Was Ones Open
ly Tolerated by the eritish
Government.

Slavery existed in nearly all Of the
English colonies from an early Pc
Rod until shortly before or soon af-
ter the Revolutionary war, and the
African slave trade was openly tol-
Grated by the British government In
175e there were $4,000 African
slaves in the colonies, scattered from
New England to Georgia. 1t was not
prohibited In Massachusetts, until
17e0, nor in Vermont until 1777. The
United States census Of 1910 showed
80 slaves in Connecticut, 10,S51 in
New Jersey, 1907 in New York, 705
In Pennsylvania, and 108 in Rhode
Island. Slavery was gradually abb
olished in the northern states, but
in 1920 there were still 81 slaves in
Connecticut, 1857 in New Jersey
10,0S8 in New York, 211 in Pennsyl-
vania, and 48 in Rhode Island. The
census Of 1850 showed the disappear.
ance of slavery in all the northern
states except New Jersey, which still
had a, surviving remnant Of 236.
