T'e I'.eorBlans were sitting pretty far

Kverjbo.ly arose and cheered. On the
third diy of their convention tho I'ro

Here cheering splashed when the ex
hf.rter added ;

A Sentimental Moment.
Then Georgia marched to Maine and
Ioa'n chairs and the men from Maine
nnd Iowa to Georgia's. TanilnB In an

a itrt'mental moment also noisy.
Near a side entrance nn old man was

was Hie division of the Republican mn.

It pott of what the Progressive committee
had said. The vision of Itnnwvelt tioml
natpd by the Republicans leaped before
them. When Chaliman Rnbltis got or
der a delegate said "Read that iigaln,"
So Hip Republican report was read
once more, this time by Chairman Rob
ins, because his voice carries further
than Mr. Perkins's. When he finished thp
theatre hur.zed with conversation, The
delegates were asking one iiiinthnr what
they thought of It Tlipy wpre oxerjoyed
because their committee hadn't been se
duced by the wily Murray Crane, It had
kepi the faith, It hail stuck to Teddy,
"Ulory be' Cheers for the committee.

Mr, Perkins m ule a brief speech. He
said that the Progressive National Com

"Meanwhile," he said, "we must do
nothing to mar what 1 call a perfcrt
record up to this moment on which to
appeal to the people. We must hold In
reserve our final act so It will be m
clear that our action Is correct that all
the world will ngree with us. As chair
man of the committee, I ask you to
trust us." Applause.
The other members of the committee
then had their say. This served the dou
ble purpce of delaying the Progressive
nomination and of informing the dele
gates of what had taken place in last
night's conference with the Republi
cans. Charles .1. Hon.ip.irte was then Intro.

that party must do some explaining

"In view of that fact It certainly Is

Replying to a query from Massachu

Chairman Robins said:

and ample time and Is proceeding with
full knowledge of the entire situation,
i We don't Intend to be hoodwinked by
scheming and cunning politicians or

She also wanted the "his" rhnng d

Dean Lewi", chairman of the resolu

to ilnlsh the seriatim reading of the
platform, thereby opening It for amend
ment or adilltli-ns from the tloor. A
suggestion of Dudley l'milke of Indi
ana to extend the ,-lvi service plank
to Include nil non-p-mical otiUers and
postmasters too was Inst easily.
A delegate from Pennsyivanla who
wanted the navy used as a nmplement ,
to the merchant marine In time of peine ,
got brief mercy from h's fellows. The
delegates also drowned with a roaring
"No"' an amendment which would com
mit the party to a specific method of
bringing about world pence
The fact that the prohibition plank
wiw Iot In committee by a vote of ,10
to 13 did not deter Delegate Cowper.
He submitted hW plank "without com
ment " That was unnecessary.
"No, no.'i jelled delegates In all parls
of the (loor. "Yeows" and catcalls fol
lowed. .Mr Roblus's gavel a regular'
carpenter's hnmmer pounded deep
grooves In n wooden block on the table.
The chair offi red opportunity for a full, 1
fair and flee discussion. It was taken.
Frank O, Curtis of New York moved
to submit the prohibition proposition to '
the ptople, but his proposal wns defeated
111 short order. The delegates were cer
tainly manufacturing their feelings.
Ileelnreil Twin Issues
"The platform," declared Henry J.
Allen of Kansas, "is not complete with
out this plank. Tills Is the mightiest ,
moral nnd economic Issue of the age,
It Is n question that relates tn our
courage. Prohibition and suffrage are
twin issues."
James It. Garfield of Ohio stood up to
answer him in a wave of laughter and
applause, Mr Harileld Is a prohibition
1st, but he told the convention that the
liquor question, In his opinion, must be
solved by the slow, tedious process of
education. "It takehVourage," he milled,
"to postpone action on it."
A total afistalncr from Texas, who
admitted ho has not had a hard drink
for twenty years ("Poor fellow," ex
claimed some ono), proclaimed In a
husky voice that a prohibition plank
would drlvo other planks Into th ills- ,
rani And ho added : I
"We might Just as well descend to
William .lennlngs nrynn," ,
The crowd In the bleachers on thei
platform thought llryan was In the preHs i

ho wasn't In sight.
A. H. Slcvert of Minnesota got tho
