By Associated Press.
Chicago, 111., Aug. 6.—When Col-
onel Roosevelt appeared on the
stage at the national progressive
convention thiB afternoon he faced
one of the greatest audiences ever
gathered in the big Coliseum.
The demonstration of delegates
and spectators that greeted him
lasted nearly an hour. The colonel
he'd an impromptu reception dur-
ing the enthusiastic noise-making,
and was still broadly smiling with
appreciation when he began speak-
ing.
By Associated Press.
Chicago, Aug. 6.—Roosevelt's "con-
fession of faith" address was the
big feature of the second session of
the national progressive convention.
The colonel struck out boldly into
new ground, advocating measures
which he said frankly would be de-
nounced as either socialism or an-
archy.
The delegates listened to the
speech with the understandinv that
they must adopt a platform substan-
tially in consonance with his views,
or look elsewhere for a presidential
nominee.
The Negro Question.
A well defined fight on the negro
question also attracted atention to-
day. Some of the delegates declared
for the elimination of the southern
negro from participation in the for-
mation of the new party, and this
has become a paramount issue of
the convention.
The eastern negroes Joined with
Che southern in their denunciation
of the actions of the all-night ses-
sion of the credentials committee,
when the last southern negro dele-
gate was barred from the conven-
tion by a close vote. The vote stood
seventeen to sixteen against the ne-
groes. Those from Mississippi im-
mediately charged that the decid-
ing ballot (had been cast by a ques-
tionable proxy on the committee.
They are fairly sputtering with in-
dignation. The negroes announced
the would carry the matter to Col.
Roosevelt for his personal ruling.
arrival lasted until well after one.
The bands played and delegates
yelled. In the midst of the uproar
the Oklahoma delegation tore their
state standard from its place and
started down the center aisle. Soon
the aisles filled with (hysterical
crowds of shrieking men and wo-
men. MinnesQta swung in behind
Oklahoma and others followed in a
tremenduous demonstration.
Called to Order at 12:85.
The convention was called to or-
der at twelve-thirty-five. The dele-
gates' seats were filled, but the
crowd was slow arriving, despite
the fact Roosevelt was to speak.
Singing songs, yelling and cheering
occupied the waiting intervals.
The Colorado delegates marched
to the hall led by a band playing
the inevitable convention tune, "Ev-
erybody's Doing It." Colorado
sprung a big sign reading, "No
more Guggenheim, no more Devine,
nor more Angel Archie for us. Down
with the bosses." The Coloradans
explained that "Angle Archie" had
reference to A. W. Stevenson of that
state, sometimes called "Big Steve."
George W. Perkins was elected
national committeeman for the pro-
gressive party by the New York del-
egation.
Teddy Arrives.
Roosevelt reached the Coliseum
12:47 and waved his hand in re-
sponse to the great cheering. As
he took the platform, the cheering
continued, and the grand army fife
and drum chrops on the stage joined
in the din.

Many candidates addressed the
voters at the last big meeting of the
primary campaign held at Main and
Bell streets Monday evening. The
flood of oratory flowed until near
midnight, but the crowd stayed on
interest never waning for a moment
Chas. Dlerker, vice president of
the Jefferson Democratic Club, pre-
sided over the meeting and intro-
duced the speakers, as they stepped
upon the platform when called for,
Oral Busby, the "hoy mayor" of
Konawa, was the first speaker. He
devoted his time to attacking Ex-
Gov. Haskell and lauding Owen. He
was followed by H. O. Tener, candi-
date for the legislature, who in turn
was followed by ChaB. F. Barrett,
candidate for 6tate senator.
Ti)e candidates for county attor-
ney were then given a chance. J.
T. Williams delivered a character-
istic address, setting forth his claims
to the office, the fact that Holt and
Pree'ing had already had their
terms, and told some good stories.
He was followed by S. P. Freeling,
who spoke briefly.
John Hatfield and Harve Pember-
ton, candidates for sheriff, were
heard in turn, and Dad Sparks, can-
didate for justice of the peace, wa 
called for. He devoted almost all
his remarks against Geo. Stone, can-
didate for sheriff, and occasioned
considerable enthusiasm by his vig-
orous attack.
H. H. Smith, candidate for the
legislature, was loudly called for,
and delivered a characteristic
speech, which abounded in the
cyclonic eloquence that has distin-
guished him as one of the premier
onatorB of the state. Though ho
spoke for more than an hour, the
crowd stayed with him to the last.

Washington, Aug 6.—A campaign
fund contributed wholly hy the peo-
ple, and untainted by a single dol-
lar of contribution from illegal
trusts and monopolies!
This is the watchword of Hon.
James T. Lloyd, chairman of the
nation democratic congressional
committee In starting in to raise a
campaign fund to carry on neces-
sary organization and educational
work looking toward the election
of democrats to congress this fall.
The work of this committee in
the 1910 campaign was something
enormous. Every democratic candi-
date for congress in the United
States was given valuable assist-
ance, and millions upon millions of
speeches, campaign books, etc., were
distributed, increasing the number
of democratic workers everywhere
and creating a vast amount of dem-
ocratic sentiment. The result was
the election of a house of represen-
tatives, democratic by a majority of
sixty-five.
This committee is confronted with
an even more important campaign,
and is today wholly without funds
as a result of its refusal to accept
easy" money from special Inter-
ests which would be in a position
to expect legislative favors should
their contributions be accepted for
campaign purposes.
Every reader of this article can
help the cause of democracy and
good government by making a con-
tribution now while the committee
is badly in ueed of funds. Whether
your contribution is large or small,
U will he useful. Checks or cur-
rency should be sent direct to either
James T. Lloyd, chairman or H.
D. Flood, treasurer, of the national
democratic committeee, Washington,
D. C. Contributions made earliest
will do the most good.
Protectionists Please Answer.
The republican platform reluc-
tantly admits that there has been
an increase in the cost of living in
the United States, hut seek to ex
onerate our system of excessive
protection with the statement that
prices have increased all over the
world. This Is true, but It Is also
true that the Increase has been
more than twice as great in this
country, under Payne-AIdrichism
than in free trade Great Britain.
Here is a query that every pro-
tectionist in the land is invited to
answer: The United States official
reports show that the average
whole-sale price of sugar In Lon-
don averaged two cents per pound
less during the last two yeare than
In New York. The Payne-Aldrich
tax on sugar Is approximately two
cents per pound. In England, sugar
goes untaxed. If the difference in
price in the two' countries is not
due to the tariff on su,;ar, to what
cause is It due?
Why Brown Sueur D sapneared.
Perhaps you have noticed that tie
old fashioned brown sugar like our
mothers used to cook with, has
practically disappeared from the
market.
There Is a reason. This reason
consists of a "joker" In tho Payne-
Aldrlch tariff law, in the form of a
color test known as Dutch Stan-
dard No. 16. "When this test was
fixed it meant the barring out of
the old fashioned brown sugar,
cheap and good, and that Is why
this brand of sugar has disappeared
from the market. Whenever a tar-
iff bill Is in the making the agents
of the sugar trust are on hand to
see that the "Dutch Standard" is
maintained, and they had no diffi-
culty in getting the makers of the
A lllg Harirst.
Edmonton, Alta., Aug. 6.—Fifty-
seven thousand five hundred harvest
hands, in addition to thoae now on
the ground, will be required in the
prairie provinces to gather this sea-
son's crop. This Is 11,000 more men
than were required last year. It
is estimated that the wheat crop
alone will be fully 250,000,000 bush
els. Most of the extra help will
come from eastern Canada and the
United States. The machines will
be sent into the field between Aug-
ust 10 and 15 and the cutting should
be in full sway about August 20.
This program will put all grains,
including oats, barley and flax, In
stook by September 15, fully three
weeks ahead of previous seasons.
Hundreds of thousands of acres of
land have been added to the wheat
area In Alberta and neighboring
provinces in the last J 2 months and
as many are devoted to mixed farm-
ing, dairying, hog raising and poul-
try growing.
NEGROES GOING
"BACK TO AFRICA"
MOVEMENT STARTED AMONG
BLACKS OF Oh ! IHOMA
GAINS GROUND.
St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 6.—A move-
ment looking toward the coloniza-
tion of negroes in Africa is the ob-
ject of the "On to Africa" congress
which opened in this city Monday
under the leadership of Isaac B.
Atkinson. Atkinson says that he
thinks his movement will result In
removing 4,000,000 or 6,000,000
people from the United States, or
nearly one-half of the negro popu-
lation.
His plan is to appoint an execu-
tive committee to confer with the
representatives of the English, Ger
man and French governments, who
own vast areas in Africa, to interest
themselves in the colonization
scheme and to loan money for lonfl
terms to develop the country, and
thereby render the country more
valuable to the powers who own It.
The movement originated with the
negroes in Oklahoma, who claim
that they are disfranchised by th<
"grandfather amendment."
PERRY BROUGHT
DOWNFALL OF
JUDGE HANFORD
TWO FEDERAL JUDGES PRECED-
ED HIM BY THE IMPEACH-
ME NT ROUTE.
Death of Jolm Burnet.
John Burrict died Sunday morn
ing at the home of his father a
mile west of Shawnee on Highland.
Funeral services will be held at
the residence Wednesday afternoon
at 2:30, Rev. L. Walter Nine offi-
ciating. Interment will be in Fair-
view cemetery. Burrict had been
a foreman on the Rock Island. He
came here from Indiana, and a num-
ber of his realtives from there will
attend the funeral.
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 6.—Two fed-
eral judges in the history of the na-
tion have preceded Judge C. H. Han-
ford off the bench by the impeach-
ment route. It is somewhat of a
Herculean task to accomplish an
Impeachment. John H. Perry, a
young Seattle attorney, would tell
you without boast or exaggeration.
Perry is the Hercules in the Han-
ford case. He is an extraordinary
kind of a Hercules. He is a very
1'oung giant for one thing. He is
only 30. Physically he weighs only
150 and he lacks several Inchos to
being six feet tall. This giant, too,
is a very affable sort, good-natured,
and likable. A native of Virginia,
he possesses the courtesy of the
south. He smiles and he makes
friends.
Flics Hanford Charges.
He needed all these when he filed
eight specific charges with the con-
gress of the United StateB against
Judge C. H. Hanford, and thus
courted lasting ostracism if not
more direct persecution by the In-
terests if he should have filled.
Perry had the courage to go
through with his fight—and he won
He did not base his charges on
"guess" work. He had his facts well
in hand. -For eleven months he
gathered his evidence before he filed
his charges. He went about It quiet-
ly, but with determination. He was
posted and was prepared to meet
any attack. "Big Business" did not
stop him with its "steam-rollered'
resolution.s Threats of ostracism
were hurled at him, but he never
batted an eye. Promises of favor
if he should drop the proceedings
did not tempt him. Perry was not
to be sidetracked.
Then came the Leonard Oisson
disfranchisement decision by Judga
Honfard, and Congressman Victor
Berger filed Impeachment charges.
Perry, however, did not let Berger's
complaint lnterefere with his own
• irefully* laid plans. He presented
his charges separately to the judi-
ciary committee and then immedi-
ately started to get his witnesses
ready.
And so, when the congressional
committee came to Seattle to act
