man from the south who Is avail
able, and the western man will
doubtless be chosen.
The negro delegates from the
south who were refused seats In
the convention after a contest
with white delegates, have appeal
ed to the national colored asso
ciation which has a membership of
400.000, to quit the Progressive
party and fight Roosevelt. It is
believed that the white man's party
as the National Progressives have
been called, will gain southern
white votes to more than offset the
negro defection.
James Wlckersham and O. IV
Hubbard of Alaska are in the city
asking to be seated in the Pro
gressive convention. A ruling by
Mr. Roosevelt was sent out at the
time of the call which excluded Ter
ritories. but the de'egates from Al

matter to the floor of the conven

to vote.
