THE BICHMOXD PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 7,

COLONEL WAS

NAMED TODAY (Continued from Pago One.) convention, stating specifically that the report of the resolutions committee should be adopted before candidates for president and vice president should be nominated. The duties of the national committee were fully outlined. It was provided that the committee might til its own vacancies, but only until a successor could be elected. The new party recognizes the primaries in the selection of the committee members and their terms begin as soon as their election. Office Holders Barred. The rules provide that no person holding an appointive office under the government may be a member of the national committee. In regards to contests it was provided that where contests were filed in good faith delegates contesting and contested should not be permitted to vote until the contests were settled. It was further stated that where laws of states regarding the selection of delegates were in conflict with the rules of the convention the laws of the state would be considered as superceding the rules of convention. After the report was concluded delegate Hamilton of Illinois moved an amendment to change the name of the party from Progressive to National Progressive. He explained that in some states the party was known by one name and in some states by the other. The motion was withdrawn, however, and the committee was requested to meet later and consider the question of name. Chairman Beverldge then Introduced W. H. Hotchkiss of New York who made a gratifying report of the progress of the new party in his state. T. R. PICKED FLAWS. CHICAGO, July 7. While a few members of the resolutions committee admitted this afternoon that Col. Roosevelt was dissatisfied with some minor parts of the platform, the majority of then declared that the delay in presenting the document to the convention was due to the Colonel's inability to get through the platform and thoroughly digest it. When the full committee adjourned at 11:15 until 12:30 o'clock they plainly showed their disappointment over the delay. The committee after holding an almost continuous 14 hours session sent Chairman Lewis to learn whether the Colonel had any additional suggestions to offer after its platform draft had been completed. Word was brought back from Roosevelt that because of other business he had been unable to complete his study of it and that he desired further time. Committee Lewisohn of Utah made a motion that Col. Roosevelt be invited to appear before the committee to offer suggestions, but Chairman Lewis objected, saying that less time would be consumed were the sub com mittee to visit the Colonel. While the committee was in recess it was learned that the platform had more than 60 planks. The dispute over the negro representation of the south which for a time threatened to bring a real fight in the convention left scarcely a ripple today. The few delegates who did discuss the matter sided with Col. Roosevelt's views. Most of them seem to have forgotten the incident entirely. Negroes For Roosevelt. As an interesting after effect of the Colonel's statements the National Progressive colored man's league has endorsed the Colonel's attitude and has called on negroes everywhere to support his candidacy. The same organization a day before had renounced Roosevelt. Dr. W. A.' Venerable of St. Louis attempted to read a resolution at the final meetng denouncing the Colonel for alleged discrimination against the southern negroes, but gave up the attempt when the negroes refused to listen. Although the convention still had some hours to run the leaders of the new party today turned their attention to the coming campaign. Roosevelt and Johnson, whether he is a vicepresidential candidate or not, will take the stump. The Colonel will confine himself largely to the east and the middle west. Johnson will stump the states of the Pacific coast and make one or two eastern trips. A national finance committee will be organized and Oscar Strauss will in all probability be its head. George W. Perkins, national committeeman from New York and Frank A. Munsey will be members of the committee, according to present plans. The committee will be required to keep a detailed set of books so that preceding the election in November a sworn statement of receipts and disbursements can be made. Organization Plan. Preliminary steps toward the organization of the national party throughout the country were discussed today. Preliminary work in the various states has already been done. A meeting of the national committee following the convention will decide the moves to be made. A general band-wagon movement among persons allied with the old parties but who have taken no stand in the movement, is expected to follow the Progressive convention by its leaders here. The convention, they say has been so successful that such a movement is assured ; among those who have been waiting for the result of the gathering before deciding what candidate they would support. Among those persons, according to the Progressive leaders here, are fifty three Republican congressmen who so far have refused to announce whether they would support Taft or Roosevelt

DISTINGUISHED

Dr. A. P. Russell, One of the Best Known of the Literati of the Middle West, Once a Temporary Resident of This City.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "A bygone day." There is always a charm about the days that are departed. No matter how prosaic they may have been In actuality. For nothing so softens the bald outlines of what we term "reality" although what is "real" and what is not is a matter for speculation as the drapery of time. Why this is we cannot explain. For the reason that no-one can ever explain anything about life. It is trite to say it is the great mystery, unsolvable. Philosophies have been conjured up from the depths of reflection, religions manufactured from the experiences of humanity, theories evolved from the observations of sages, and a thing handed out for general consumption called "the commonplace" but no one knows nor understands. We appear. We disappear. That is all we know. And that the god of things grinds on just the same. Suns and moons and seasons and tides come and go, matter continues, the microscopic point in the universe called "the. earth" remains intact. But we we are nothing. Yesterday this column quoted to the effect that we do not possess life. It passeB through us. Nothing, after all, could be more plausible. We are merely a medium accidental perhaps--through which life is strained. When it has - completed its course through the channels of fleshly personality it leaves the dregs its essence passes on. The dregs are carted to the cemetery. And that is never You. You have ceased to exist as an individual entity. What you thought was yourself was a stream of that liquid force called "life" which was poured through you and which has gone on into other combinations and forms. Its only our egotism, as has been said here before, perhaps, that has created an eternity for our individuality. This is not especially apropos, to be sure, of the opening paragraph but writing is sometimes like life one is apt to wander off into by-paths. Bypaths are always alluring at least their vistas look so .from the mainroad the dusty, tiresome and unmistakably straight main-travelled thoroughfare. That Is one reason the bygone days are fascinating. And they were Nfascinating enough, per se, "as it were." For no matter how rapidly we are evolving toward democratization of ideals and a general social leveling the period of sharp contrasts and more aristocratic feeling had an effestlveness these automobile-ridden, electric-lighted days do not possess. And there was such a day even in Richmond. And not so long ago at that. Richmond at one time had an ele gant, erudite and amusing society. Say what you will, "blood will tell." And, in the present day vernacular, there was then "some blood" flowing through the veins of our erstwhile "leading citizens." People talked about literature and art. Results in Defeat of Three Democratic Congressmen. (National News Association) ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 7. Three Democratic congressmen were defeated for renomination in yesterday's primaries. Rep. Patrick Gill recently seated by the house after an election contest, in the 12th district, Rep. Booker in the fourth and Rep. Daugherty in the fifteenth were the other losers. Returns received today show that John McKinley has been nominated by the Republicans to succeed Gov. Hadley. William S. Cowherd of Kansas City will head the Democratic ticket. Hiram Lloyd of St. Louis, who has no opposition, will be the Republican candidate for lieutenant-governor and William B. Painter will be the Democratic nominee. Richard Barthold was renominated for congress in the tenth district by the Republicans and Theron E. Catlin in the eleventh. L. C. Dyer will represent the Republicans in the twelfth.

PRIMARY IN MISSOURI

MAN DIES

And talked well. They drove in victorias, gave coaching parties, draped lace shawls gracefully over their tinted costumes and wore roses in their hair. Among temporary residents of Richmond during one of these periods was Dr. A. P. Russell, the well known litterateur who recently died in his home in Wilmington, Ohio, and a very old man since he was born in 1826. His friends here knew him in his prime. And speak now of his fascinating personality, his erudition, his brilliant talents and his unusual life. Unusual in that, to the very end, he preserved the habit, if it could so be put, rather than the pose, of a "literary man." And nowadays that is unusual. The socalled literati are apparently desirous of eliminating every suggestion of difference from their fellows. That is, in garb. Poets' and novelists look more like those well set up club men the magazine illustrators delight in outlining against a dead white background, or the tailor's advertisements In the backs of these publications. Very few "dress the part." Tennyson always did. And was accused of pose. But why should not a poet look lite a poet or the popular conception of one? It differentiates him from the "madding crowd" - and adds picturesqueness to things in general. There is, in i fact, too little accentuation in dress. In Indiana Mr. Benjamin Parker, a poet resident in the state who died recently, was always a striking figure with his military top-coat, head of curling gray hair and slouch hat. He commanded instant attention and respect wherever he went. While Dr. Russell was not given to either affectations or peculiarities of dress, he still had a certain air of detachment from the average a distinction, a something indefinable that separated him from the general run of humanity. And his literary habit was of that color which is the outcome of leisure and contemplation. Dr. Russell never hurried, either physically or mentally and his various volumes of essays were temperamental expositions of personality. For since 1868 when he retired from official life in his native state of Ohio, whose emoluments include the Secretaryship of State, Dr. Russell has lived the life of a student and author. His product includes: "Half Tints; Table d'Hote and Drawing-room;" "Library Notes;" "Characteristics;" "A Club of One;" "In a Club Corner;" and "Sub Coelum; a Sky-built Human World," which was a bit of fantasy concerning itself with Utopian social conditions. Dr. Russel numbered among his friends in this city Judge D. W. Cornstock and Mr. Daniel Surface whose custom it had been each summer to make the distinguished writer a visit and who were preparing to go the week in which he died. Dr. Russell was a representative of that older and riper culture which gave this section social and literary distinction in the middle and latter half of the nineteenth century. A regime which is regretted as much as it is applauded. GO TO PROGRESSIVES Do Most of the County Registration Officials. With the meeting of the Wayne County Republican Central Committee Saturday, the party which has reigned supreme for many years, wilj be shorn of its power, when over thirty members of the committee who are also registration inspectors and clerks will resign and become completely affiliated with the new Progressive party. As a result the Progressive party will have almost the entire control of the political situation in this county. It is a blow to the Republican party and every possible means is being employed by the demoralized G. O. P. leaders to regain the party's lost powers. They contend that by withdrawing from the Central committee it becomes necessary for those who are registration inspectors and clerks to resign, but the counter claim is made that since these men were appointed by the County commissioners to serve until after the election, they do not have to retire from the registration board. Helping Her Out. A young lady boarder in a country household lamented the absence of letters. Catching little Melba. rhe pet of the household, up in her arms, she said: "Precious, nobody loves mm; 1 guess 111 go out In the garden and eat worms." The next day Miss Alice was Interrupted by a low knocking at the door. In answer to her summons Melba entered, grasping a large chip carefully In both hands. The child said: "Miss Alice, bad postman not bring you any letter; here's free big worms. Now you won't have to go out In the garden. Los Angeles Times. A Splurge Anyhow. "So you employed the most expensive soloists yon could find for your musical r "Yes." replied Mr. Cumrox. -Mother and the girls insisted on It. I don't know whether their idea was to show that we do care for art or that we don't care for money." Washington Star. ' ...

FRESH REBELLION CONFRONTS TURKEY Rebel Leader Says He Intends to Lead His Army on Constantinople.

(National News Association) SALONIKA, European Turkey, Aug. The Turkish gendarmes in the garrison at Okhrida, Albania, mutined today and their commander, Gen. Djemalrey declared war in the name of the Young Turks against the present government. The commandant gave notice that he would lead an army against Constantinople and issue a proclamation calling upon all loyal Young Turks to join his standard. The rebels will attempt to force the abdication of the present sultan who took the throne when the Young Turks rose up against Abdul Hamid's regime several years ago. Gen. Djemalrey issued orders to his followers without quarter to all present Turkish authorities. "String them up to bridges or to anything that offers the service of a gibbet," declared the fiery leader. Reports reaching here from other quarters throughout European Turkey state that the revolutionary movement is concerted and that Young Turk leaders are rallying troops at a number of different places. The present movement gave the government an outgrowth of the conduct of the war against Italy. It has been hastened by the tyrannical treatment of Turkish subjects by Turkish officials throughout European Turkey. Ohrida lies on the North bank of Lake Okhrida and has a population of 14,000. It is 100 miles north of Jamina and is an important trading post. Okhrida is a Greek bishop's See. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals.
