THE protective system is essential

Marsh takes the view that IL Roose-
welt should decline To run on the Bull
Moose ticket he will disappoint sharply
many OF the Progressive party men
who four years ago. and since, have
fought hard and consistently for pro-
grcssive principles from conviction. II
is his view that the radicals will feel
that an effort has been made to betray
them.
Undoubtedly. this version OF the mat
ter by Marsh indicates that the Demo
cratic leaders are going to do every
thing they can to encourage the dis
appointments OF any Of the radical Bull
Moose.
1t would be highly desirable from the
Democratic standpoint to have Roose-
welt run on a third ticket. This Is
really what the Democratic leaders arc
hoping and praying for. Put, II that
cannot come about. they want ele-
ments of the Bull Moose party to go
into the campaiGn disgruntied and dis
appointed and believing, somehow, that
when the Republicans refuse to nomi-
nate Roosevelt-as 1t looks now as II
they would do--the Old Guard got the
upper hand.

Spirit of Convention
Has Captured Chicago
By THEODORE TILLER.

CHICAGO, June Son Tuesday. June
6 It became apparent that a political
convention was In the making in this
town. Up to that time there had been.
OF course, certain surface indications
OF unrest-such as the arrival of dele
gates, suuabbles over reservations in
the hotels, occasional band music and
the distribution of much press agent
matter by the -to-be-enthusiastic
minions Of the "favorite sons"
Nevertheless, one didn't really feel

from the West, who. waving above his
head q badly crumpled newspaper,
crcled all about the Congress Hotel

"Oregon! Oregon leads the way, first,
last and all the time-for Hughes.
Oregon Is on the Pacific coast. Oregon
leads the way for Hughes"'
Another gentleman marched right be-
hind him, in lock-step fashion. A dozen
times or more they showed through The
crowds, receiving a laugh here and a
cheer there. Then they went their way.

As they passed out a big. fat boy, ac-
companied by stoop-shouldered little
man such as one finds In the cartoons
OF "hen-pecked husbands" a young man
who held close to his breast a har-
monica, and an accomplice who bore
aloft a sheet of music, took an intrenched
position near the cigar stand.
At a signal from the fat boy-he was
really q fellow of about twenty-five or
twenty three years-a wheeZy-mouth
organ was brought into play and the
volunteers sang Ring Lardner's song;

Teddy, we want you where
Our one best bet should be,
Teddy pack up your grip!

You're not too proud to fight;

Millions of Self Styled En-
peror of Sahara" Dwindle
to $136, 900.
ITS OWNER IS MISSING

New York, Sept. 9.-An application
before the supreme court today re-
vealed that jacques Lebaudy, self
styled emperor of the Sahara" has
refused to accept the sum OF $l35,l89
all that is left OF his unique empire in
the heart of the African desert. The
money is now in the hands Of the
state superintendent OF banks, who
has applied to the courts for relief
from his responsibility.
Fifteen years ago Lebaudy inherit
ed several million dollars from his
father, French sugar magnate. With
500 followers he founded an empire
in the Sahara, but seven months later
he left his subjects and returned to
Paris. The colonists returned to
France and Lebaudy came to America
and placed the power to dispose OF
his property in the hands of the Car
negic Trust company. Lebaudy cal
culated that the property was worth
at least $2,000,000, but the trust COM
pany was able to realize in selling II
only little more than $400,000. Lee
baudy brought suit against the trust
company and after the company be-
came insolvent pressed his claim
against the superintendent of banks.
The sum now to his credit with
the state banking department repre-
sents 40 cents on the dollar which
the Carnegie Trust company has been
paying its creditors. Lebaudy was
placed in an insane asylum a year
ago last spring. He was released in
October and disappeared after re
