THIRD PARTY FACES
SPLIT ON PLATFORM
CHICAGO, July 14 Little pro
gress was made by the new Fusion
party during the first two hours of its
convention today and an undercurrcnt
of dissatisfaction was in evidence
throughout the meeting. It once
more required the pleas of the lcad
ers and Constant confcrence to keep
open breaks from cropping out. At
1145 A M. the nlatform committee
jordered the typing of a third party
platform and sciit wora to ine con
vention it would rcport at 2 P. Ri
The convention adjourned to that
time. è
"The committee of 48, at an carly
mnrninir raneus decided to continue
!its state and national organizations
regardless of the action of the pre-
sent convention and to meet separate
1 ly tonight to consider the conven
tion action. Senator LaFollette was
I stili being represented in platform
I conferences but there were few indi
Ications of what decision were being
made.
This latest platform attempt was
said by some ìepresentativcs of the
48 group to meet Senator LaFol
lett's idcas in its planks on foreign
relations and nationalization. ' The
fact could not be absolutely confirm
ed because cvident; differences had
developed between individuate influen
tial in the former 48 organization.
$10,000 Loss to Large New
port Industry from Ear
ly Morning'Blaze
Fire of undertermined origin early
today practically destroyed the Lo
well Bobbin Company's two story
structure on the corner of Outlook
and West Main streets carly today,
causing a damage estimated bv one
of the officiate of the concern at
$40,000. Sprcading rapidly the fire
was one of the most spectacular
blazes that Newport people have wit
nessed in a long time. The flames
lighted the sky for many miles
around the city and drew spcctators
to the scene from every corner of
tho village.
Three alarms were sounded, bring
ing out every available picce ot ap
paratus in the city. The new fire
truck was the first piece of appara
tus to report. The first ala'rm was
sounded by Fred Corkins, watchman
at the bobbin factory. Edward Wha
len is said to have ran"- in the sccond
alarm at Prouty and Miller's mill and
(he thj-i alarm was sounded by the
watchman at the Frost Vcneer Com
pany's mill. The blaze broke out at
3 o'clock and burned furiously for
more than an hour despite the frantic
eliorts of the firemen to extinguish
it. Although under control at 5
o'clock, the fire was goine for sevcral
hours 'afterwards and a large force
of fire f;ghters were kept on the job
in order to insuro the safety. of sur
rounding home.
Watchman Corkins in talking
with the Record-Caledonian repre
sontitive just after the fire broke out,
declared the blaze originated in the
boiler room on the lower floor while
he was busily engaged in cleaning
the upstairs portion of the .building
His Decision On Suffrage Meets
Universal Condemnation
and Disappointment
If Gov. Clement takes Lime J'rom studying the United
States constitution and the laws of the Medes and Per
sains that never change, he will fìnd some interésting
comments on his refusai to cali an extra session of the
legislatures to give women their
rights. So far not a paper has come
to the attention of the Caledonian
Reeord that has not expressed in no
unccrtain terms the way the people
feci about it.
The Boston Globe says that the
Governor has the courage of his con
stitutional convictions, and the Bos
ton Herald's only comment is 'What's
in a name.' The obstructive govern
or of Vermont is called Clement."
The Boston Transcript expressos the
attitudc of the Vermont governor in
the following "In the name of the
Continental Congress." Ethan Al
ien. "To Hadcs with the Continen
tal Congress." Gov. Clement.
In a longcr editorial the Trans
enni further says "This flamboyant
officiai reUisal reads a good deal like
the Pope's bull acainst the comet.
In the lon run it will be as effec
tive. It will not and cannot prevent
women from votincr, even in Vermont,
in good time, and its only prescnt ef
fect, is to insense women voters
everjfwhere against tho party to
which Governor Clement bclongs,
and possibly to lead them in other
statcs, to vote for a Democratic or
third party candidate."
The Transcript says one wonders
that Vermont ever entered the Union
at ali. "for the constitution to which
tho state subscribcd when it entered
the Union provides that is shall itself
be the supreme law of the land, 'any-
thvig in the constitution or laws of
drafted the Federai constitution. It
greatly regrets his decision, which it
says was founded on bad logie. He
gives, tho editorial says, some very
poor reasons for being a very "sot"
individuai, dcclaring, "The pity ia
