want oPeSoy ACLiOH'
Behind It lurked the threat of radi-
cal, speedy action looking to the i'm
mediate nomination of Colonel Roose-
welt regardless of the action of the
Republican convention, and in de-
Eance of the wishes Of George w Per-
kins and the executive leaders of the
party.
This was the reason why the Moose
were under tether. This was the cause
of the earnest apprehension with
which leaders sat nervously and de-
termined upon the lid Of the gathering
AS a matter Of formal decision the
convention assembled under the fixed
program of taking no steps toward
nomination until the Republicans had
passed through the state of solemnly
tossing favorite sons to the discard
and had shown by actual work that 1t
did not intend to take the colonefs
name into consideration for president
ial honors.
Only the threat of a campaign with
out an angel, of fighting without a
cheek-book, and of feeding time with
no nose-bag checked the declared de-
termination of the Progressive pri-
Yates to proceed in utter lack of re-
gard for the sitting of the main show
at the Coliseum.
Enthusiasm Is Wild.
The story of the sudden roping OF
mad Moose came to light today
Bands and banners, badges and badi

the unusual situation. While the old

LETTER
SCORES STATE
UTILITY BODY

Vigorously vorded is the letter for
warded to the Indiana Public Utilities
commission by Mayor Robbins and
board members Bavis, Marlatt and Nc
MINI, protesting against the establish
ment Of a readiness-to-serve charge
for fire protection sprinkler systems
for the benefit of the Richmond City
Water Works company.
THE commission lost no time in es
tablishing such a charge for the city
of Terre Haute, because no protest
was entered by affected interests in
that CITY," said a Richmond official
today. However, the commission is
apparently impressed by the protests
filed by Richmond interests against
the establishment of such a charge fol
this city Although it has been init
mated that such a charge will be pro
vided for Richmond the commission
has not yet taken definite action
which is encouraging.
'It would be just as logical for the
commission to establish a readiness
to-serve charge for private homes, be
cause there are buckets and pals
handy to be used in the event of z
fire, as it would be to provide such ar
unjust tax against business establish
ments which have installed sprinkler
services. The water works company
is now receiving $4,000 a year from
the city for fire protection and the
city does not use 800 worth of water
a year for fire fighting"

CHICAGO. June THE Progress
sive convention was called to order at
1920 this afternoon by victor MUIR
dock. chairman of the Progressive
National committee.
All efforts to appeal to the militant
members Of the Progressive party ana
bring about the selection of some can
didate other than Col. Roosevelt ap-
partently have failed.
After a dozen attempts which we're
made before the convention was call-
ed to order, the thermometers finally
accented the idea that 1t was only
question of time when the colonel
would be made the nominee OF the
Progressive party and that the main
issue was in the ability of the leaders
TO hold down the rampant moose.
The assertion was freely maoe De-
fore the convention that Col. Roose-
volt had given personal assurance that
he would surely take third nomlna-
tion in the event the Republicans
named Hughes. The statement nao

A DISPUTE
BY z. r. SARTWELL.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE
rank and file of the delegates
to the Republican national
convention will thresh out the
party's attitude, to be express
ed in the national platform,
on at least two issues.
With the resolutions COM.
mittee of the convention COM
pleted and formal considera-
ton of the platform in order,
it became apparent that the
convention itself would be
asked to frame the planks ex-
pressing how the party will
stand on the questions of:
''Hyphenated" American
citizens. -
The Republican attitude to-
ward the Mexican situation.
Committee Works Ahead.
Discussion Of both of these ques-
tions seethed and boiled among dele
gates and leaders today despite the
more pressing question of selecting a
candidate. Not even the formal open

Sounds Patriotic SLOGAN.


The first slogan of the convention
who after the convention had become
an orderly gathering made the follow
ing announcement:
"Paraphrasing a remark of the late
President Mckinley, this is a year
when politics is patriotism and patri-
otism is politics, therefore the audi
ence will rise and sing two verses of
America"
Following the singing Charles Hilles
introduced the Rev John Timothy

opening prayer.

to be meant as he came forward to

OYSTER BAY, N. v, June ICON
vention day found Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt in one Of his merriest moods
and his face was wreathed in smiles
as he joked with those about him.
Neither the uncertainty of develop

storm that drenehed Sycamore hill
and filled the frinees of the bay with
thick fog could lessen his good spirits.
Special telegraph and telephone
communications had been linked up
between Sycamore Hill and Chicago,

Stewards Folly

Every time the United States has pre-
posed to increase its territorial holdings
loud objections have been made. Pro-
tests were made against the acquisition
of Florida, of Texas, of Hawaii and OF
Alaska. 1t was charged that the Chief
product of Alaska was ice and the pur-
chase of this vast territory was de-
nounced as Stewards Folly. But since
this great tract of land was acquired
vast quantities Of minerals, furs and so
on have been sent from there to the
United States and now the people OF the
northwest are rejoiced over the first train
of coal out of Alaska The supply ofcoal
there is practically inexhaustible and the
coal fields are now being opened by gov
eminent railroads. The result is that
the cost of coal to the people of Oregon,
Washington and California will be re-
duced. 1t will be hard to convince these
people who are pro6ting by the foresight
of Seward that his purchase of Alaska
