Insurgent Republicans Hold State
Convention and Instruct
for Theodore.
CALL HIM NEGRO'S FRIEND
Seventy White and 180 Colored
Delegates Rap Taft and
Alvah Martin.
One hundred and ?ighty negroes
and seventy white men attended the
much-heralded insurgent R< publican
convention yesterday. Despite .-tren
uous efforts on the 'part of the lead
era to make It appear that the con?
vention was the outgrowth of State?
wide -Jlssatisfaction In the it' publican
ranks among both the white and
colored elements, such a claim was all
but routed by the small attendan -j
and by the strength of the while
representation.
Scheduled to open at noon, the con?
vention did not begin business until
1 o'clock. At 12:13 o'clock no signs
of a white representation were in
s'ght when a loadel trolley car
emptied a delegation uf sixty-five. Just
arrived from Petersburg. To theso
were added, by the time the meeting
was called to order, a half dozen
mere, raising the total white r.pi-.
sentatlon to the biblical three scoro
and ten.
A squad of policemen in charge ?jf
a sergeant from headquarters stool
guard at the entrance and in var'ous
parts of the auditorium, but nothing
in the nature of a disturbance de?
veloped Within an hour and half
from tho time that J. R. Pollard as
temporary chairman called the con?
vention to order, the meeting was
over. Virginia's allegiance to Taft :iad
been discredited, and four delega'.^s
iit-large had been elected with in?
structions to vote for none othir than
Theodore Roosevelt.
Xnvcotnb In State rhalnniu.
J. M. Newcomb. of Petersburg, as
announced by the caucus Wredn Lday
right, was elected State chaiunan
without orposit'on. No contest de?
vfcloped over any of the offices, the
report of tho nominating commlttoe
being adopted unanimously.

Marlon, Ky.?"i have never found
anything so helpful In all my life as
Oardul. the Woman's Tonlo." writes
Mrs. Ella Smith, of this place. "It
builds up the system like nothing e'.s*
Willi and I will try to get all my
ne.ghbors ar.d friends to use thl? God
ser.t blessing to women.
I know wha.t I am talking about, too.
for I have used Cardul for a number of
year?, as such times when a woman
needs some thing to strengthen her
system.
Tl".e result always was that I had no
pains and an .3asy time. So many won?
dered why. and I told them It was Car
dui that did it."
All women, young and old, need a
Ionic at cartain times. Especially
when they are w?ak, tired, run-down,
worn-oat, no matter from what cause.
Cardul, the Woman's Tonic, is the
best tonic for wom?n to take, because
'.ts action Is upon the womanly organs.
As has often been s-iid, Cardui builds
strength where and wh;n women most
need it. It helps to strengthen t>.e
womanly constitution, prevents or re?
lieves pa'.n. brings back health.
It is always wise to have Cardul on
hand, ready for use. Ost a bottle to
day. so you can taki a dose or two
whenever you feel you need It.

The ?tJam ro'.l-r was brought Into
use in tho Jlrst minute of the conven?
tion. J. R. Pollard, preliminary to or?
ganization, read the call issued by the
insurgent State committee, and a mem?
ber seated on ;hs plat.'o:*n moved
that Pollard be elected temporary ,
chairman.
"I protest against su*h a proceeding
as unparliamentary,?' objected a col?
ored man in the front row, who had a
fighting Jaw. and looked as if he
m-ailt to enfor-..- his rights. 'This
? body has not yet accepted the rcsolu
; lion contained In the call which has
Ju^t been read, and no election Is In
ord.r until this convention has passed
upon it."
A moment of Irresolution followed,
and was broken by a delegate on th-.
platform, wl-.o e-i'.ed for a viva voce
vote on the nominating motion. The I
convention hall shook with a mighty ?
: "aye," and the solitary exponent of
parliamentary law sit down crushed
j and ovi-rsvhclmed "by the party roller.
It was never again called into play.
"Coterie of Ofllclal Parasites."
A resolutions committee, composed
of w. h. c. Brown, w" J Rahtly, J. R.
i Wilson and William Miller, roturned a l
set of resolution.'., which was adopted
j with deafening r.urrahs, denouncing'
th* praotlc.-s of the Lily Whites, and j
j declaring the new organization'., alle- :
; glance to "the ancient and honorable i
j principles of the grand organization!
I that came Into being as the defender ;
of human liberties and the champion
of manhood rig-.ts; th- party of Lin?
coln. Grant and Roosevelt, whose bas'.c
prlneiple has always been the recognl
. tlon of the equality of all m~n before
j th.? law.
! "For many years." the resolution
cont.r.utd, "the dtstlnie* of the Rc
; publican party in this Sta.*.e have been
j in the hauls of a small coterie of offi
. elal parasites, who by selfls.-. Intrigu
: and mlsuso of official power have de
i atroyed every vestige of that militant
i.'P'.rlt that alone can bring success.
This office-holding trust tins shame?
lessly denied to the color-;', voters,
who constitute the voting strength of
th? party, and to all white men who
believe In fighting for party success,
all right to partlr'.pfrti- In the party
convention. They have sought to keep
the voting strength of the party to a
! number so sinr.li that It might be eas
, ily controlled by thim for taelr own
j selfish aims."
Declare for Roosevelt,
i Continuing, the- resolution referred
1 to the conduct of the "discredited or
1 (rani/.atlori." which, Jt asserted, lias
'. been such us to demand immediate and
imperative protest: charged the orga?
nization with flagrantly denying col?
ored and white electors rights and priv?
ileges In the party to which they had
given unselfish support, and declared
the intention of the delegates in con?
vention now assembled to carry the
protest thus set forth to the national
convention, and. ultimately, to the
voters of the United States. After
denouncing the Lily White manage?
ment of Virginia Republicanism, the
resolution indorsed Roosevelt in tho
following words:
"We believe that the great unrest
In national affairs threatens tho over?
throw of Republican management, and
that the one man* who can bring vic?
tory out of the present light is that
great figure, who, whether in stress
of battle or contest In civic reform,
stands pre-eminent among men. Wo
declare for Theodore Roosevelt as the
man best fitted to lead the party to
victory and pledge ourselves to work
for his nomination at the Chicago con?
vention and Iiis election at the polls "

prayer by Rev. Moses M. Lake. D. D..
of Richmond. J. R, Pollard, of this
city, and Dr. A. A. Graham, of Phoe?

party which Is to know no creed or

the lone while speaker. He told of th<
high-handed manner In which the or?
ganisation managed the Roanoke
meeting, and waved dramatically a
portrait of Roosevelt in illustration of
ill, way he stood up for the groat
Under at that conventlo nwhen the
party roller was being put Into com?
mission to carry the body for Taft.
Ills remarks were greeted with shouts
of approval.
??I believe In supporting Theodors
Roosevelt t-' such an extent." shouted

ers fume, "thai should be be defeated.
I will advise that we all turn Demo?
crats rather than cast our ballots for

but he owns the Democratic party in

PROMINENT IN MANY
FIELDS OF ACTIVITY
Lord Montagu of Beaulieu Now
in America on Busi?
ness Trip.
BV LA MARQUISE DE I'OXTE.VIIV.1
AMERICANS and Canadians who
;?!>?? r> to meet Lord Montagu
of Beaulieu. who has lust ar?
rived In New York, on the Mau-,
re tan la, may as well be reminded mat
by one of those extraordinary freaks
01 pronunciation which are not uncom?
mon in England, "Beaulieu" 's pro
nounced "Bewly." I,ord Mootagu will,
without a doubt, meet many promt
neat men i..' capital and lniluence
"ver here, for bis itinerary Includes,
in addition to New York City. Balti
more, Washington, Chicago, St. Lou's,
Montreal. Winnipeg, etc.
It 's a business trip, pure and s'm
ple, though, as he Is such a social
tavorlte, I do not see very well how
he will be able to entirely forego tho
friendly hospitality of those ^mer'
cans and Canadians with whom" he Is
acquainted. It is to be itoped that
he will manage to put In a week or
two at Newport, for Instance. How?
ever, he has planned to be on the go
during the whole of the two months
he is In America, and If ho manages
to have any time left over for pleas?
uring ho will break his own record,
which Is saying a great deal: for he
is undoubtedly a "hustler." and people
on this side will recognize In him ,\
kindred spirit.
Merely to summarize the var'ous
lields of activity in which he stren?
uously engages gives rise to wonder?
ment .that one man can cover so mucll
ground. Besides being the leading au
tomoblllst in England?he initiate!
King Edward into the Joys of that
sport?he Is prominent In athlet'CS,
stroked the winning Oxford eight 'a
1887, has achieved a name In en
glneerlng and other branches of sci?
ence, ilHs traveled In America. Japan,
China. India. Egypt and In South Afri?
ca, where he acted as correspondent
of the London Times In Rhodesia dur
>ng tho Mata/JCle War. He Is Inter?
ested In railroad and transportat on
matters. His recreations, in addition
to automobiling. Include shooting
(wild fowl by preference), fishing,
yachting, cycling, rowing, music and
literature. Moreover, he Is an Indus?
trious contributor to the magazines
on various subjects, and is IB>?. found?
er and editor of the. Car. on which
account his visit is of particular In?
terest to motorists. One would Im?
agine that the pursuits I have men?
tioned would be more than sufficient
to demand the full activities of any
man or any two men. But 1 have
not told While here ho purposes
to study American insurance methods,
with a view to effecting Improvements
In the British way of doing things,
and possibly to form alliances between
certain Institutions belonging to tho
two countries. Besides this he intends
to look into the question whether
English capital can be advantageously
?invested In Mississippi hydro-electric
plants.
Now, I trust that my readers will
be able to form some Idea of the man
who ha.s just landed. How he man- I
apes to fulfil his duties as colonel
commanding the Fourth Volunteer
Battalion of the Hampshire Reg'ment/
I must leave others to puzzle out for
themselves. But I cannot omit to men?
tion that before his succession to a
seat in the House of Lords he sat as
member of Parliament for the New
Forest Division of Hampshire,
i He is married to a daughter of the j
i ninth Marquif of Lothian, and has two
children, daughters, the youngest aged
three. Unless he'has a son. the barony]

j only forty-six) to his younger brother,

Robert Henry Montagu. Notwtthstand
Ing all his multitudinous occupations.!
ho Is wholly thorough In all ho does,
and never superficial. "If I wore to
potter I should be lost!" ho remarks
simply when any ono speaks of his
marvelous Industry.
Tho offices of "Tho Car" In tho Pic?
cadilly Mansions, in London, has be?
come Indcod a sort of clearing-hous"
and museum for every kind of l'tera
turo and Information regarding loo
motion by land, sea and air. His Ofttco
looks down upon Piccadilly ClrCus,
vi here London's traffic Is busiest.
Throughout his long working day tho
waiting room adjoining his editorial
sanctum is thronged with a crowd of
inventors and Others, waiting to seo
the genial editor and publisher.
Geniuses who bellevo that they have
something that will revolutionize tho
existing order of things, tho clever
mechanician with a valuable, improve?
ment in autocars, aeroplanes or sub?
marines, the prominent motorist and
airman, .-. (.king advloe, and, I have no
doubt, the 'perpetual motion'' crank,
too, mingle In the waiting crowd.
They all receive aibsolute attention
each in his turn. Even the most
exacting inventor has no cause for
complaint, and that la saying a great i
deal, as any one who lias ever had
anything to do with an inventor W'll
understand. Before Lord Montagu's
succession to the barony It was Ms
custom to amuse himself In tho late
? v. nlng after olllce hours by writing
editorials and special articles for the
London Dally Mall?a rather excep?
tional way of taking a rest. But
there Is another side to the shield. He
must delight in extremes.
He loves to plunge from tho hurly
burly of Piccadilly Circus Into tho
rustle calm and sylvan peaco of the
New Forest, where is situated his ta
vorltu home, With Its green swards and
its endless vistas of torest and wood?
land. There is to be found also tho
ruined Abbey of Beaulleu. This abbey
wns founded by King John in conse?
quence, go the legend says, of a pain?
ful dream In the year 1201, and was
numed by him "BellUS locus." This be?
came. In Norman Frencn, Beaulleu. and
was atterwards corrupted, 'n speech,
into Bewley?tho present pronuncia?
tion, as I have before remarked.
A more beautiful site it would bo
difficult to Imagine. The building It?
self must have been magntllceni, for
the precinct walls, portions Of whijn
are still .standing. Inclosed a space
fifty-eight acres. The old refectory Is
now used as tho parish church of the
village of Beaulleu. At the time or
the Reformation the aibbey was con?
fiscated by Henry VIII. and .-old io
Thomas Wriothesley, afterwards Karl
of Southampton, in the reign of Wil?
liam 111. it became the property .:'.
Ralph, Lord Montagu (atterwards
created Duke of Montagu) by mar?
riage wdlh the heiress of tho
vVrlothesloys. His son, John, trans?
mitted It *to his daughters, from Whom
it descend, d, by another marriage, to
Edward Hussey, who assumed tho
1 name of Montagu and was created
i Baron Beaulleu In IT'lJ, and earl two
years later. This title became extinct
Ion his death In iSi)2. when the manor
I went to the last Lord Montagu.- from
whom it parsed to his nephew. the
fifth Duke of Bucclcuch and Queens
berry, and from him to hU second son,
'Lord Henry John Douglas-Scott-Mon
tagu. who was created a baron in 1SS5.
; He died in 190$. and was succeeded by
: bis son, the second baron: that Is to
! say, tho active and Industrious gentle
1 man who has Just set foot on these

to that valley a few years ago, I saw
