Charles R Crane, of Chicago, wealthy manufac turer and supporter of La Follette in his campaign for the KepuDiican t-resi dential nomination, may be treasurer of the Democratic National campaign. Governor Woodrow Wilson had the name of Crane under consideration to day. The only announcement the Gov ernor would make was that a treas urer had been agreed on by himself and National Chairman McCombs, but that the name would be wlthneid un til It could be determined whether the man selected would accept. Mr. Crane, who was appointed by President Taft In July, 1909. as Minis ter to China, but who was recalled in October of the same year just as he was leaving for the Orient. Is known to hv leaned favorably towara ine candidacy of Governor Wilson. WUsoa Vlalta New York. The announcement that Joseph E. Davies. of Wisconsin, secretary, of the National committee. would be in charge of the Wilson headquarters at Chicago, acting there as assistant treasurer, added some strength to the probability that Mr. Crane would be selected as National committee treas urer because of the friendship be tween Davies and Crane. Governor Wilson returned tonight to Seagirt, after a 24-hour visit to New York, the first since his nomination, but of the score or more political lead ers In New York, none saw him. He talked politics with National Chairman McCombs for four hours. The Governor was met today on the train by Josephus E. Daniels. National committeeman of North Carolina, who rode for a few miles, talking earnestly with the nominee. Marshall to Take Stumjh Governor Wilson had nothing to say tonight on politics. He Is preparing for the notification ceremonies Wed nesday, when he expects to meet Gov ernor Marshall, the Vice-Presidential nominee. Judge Alton B. Parker and many other prominent Democrats. It virtually is certain that Governor Marshall will take the stump in Maine, where the election for Governor, la held early in September. It has not yet been decided whether Governor Wil son will speak in "Maine. Some Of Gov ernor Wilson's friends do not wish him. to enter Maine, because they believe the National ticket ought, to be kept apart from the local issues of prohibi tion. ' The National campaign committee, however. Is giving its attention to New England states, particularly Maine, and important announcements in this con nection are expected soon. Kewspapermea Are Secured. Thomas I Pence, of Raleigh. N. C, has been designated assistant to Na tional Chairman McCombs. Pence for a long time was Washington corre spondent of the Raleigh News and Ob server, owned by Josephus E. Daniels, a senior member of the National com mittee and chairman of the publicity committee. Four years ago Mr. Pence directed the publicity for the Democratic Na tional committee, and has had charge or the publicity In Washington of the Wilson campaign for the nomination. Frank B. Lord, another Washington newspaperman, will be right hand man to Chairman Daniels, taking charge of '.he literary bureau in New York.

The proposed selection of Colonel Parker, of New Orleans, as permanent chairman, led to talk tonight thatthe National ticket might be made up" of former Republicans. Much depends, however, upon the attitude of Colonel Roosevelt, who will arrive tomorrow morning. Ohio Caw Considered. A sub-committee of the provisional National committee met tonight to dis pose of contests In the Ohio delega tion, which were not regarded as es pecially Important. " Tomorrow morn ing the National committee will meet early finally to dispose of the con tests from Mississippi and Florida, where the contestants are negroes. It was not known tonight whether Colonel Roosevelt would attend the opening session of the convention. It was intimated that he might remain away from the Coliseum until Tuesday afternoon, when in response to an in vitation to be extended by the con vention, he would make the address outlining his views. y Several state delegations came In today but many have deferred their arrival until tomorrow. Womea Are Ezperted. More women delegates are expected to attend the convention than any other National political gathering In the history of the country. Among the delegations arriving to day were those of Montana and Idaho. Nearly all of the states are to have delegations In excess of their allotted quota, which is Just one-half the num ber of delegates allowed by the Re publican and Democratic conventions. The basis of representation In the Pro. gresslve convention Is one vote for each Senator and Representative. The votes of the delegates are to be split in fractions ranging from one-half to one-seventh. South Carolina so far is the only state from which no official notifica tion of participation in the convention ias been received. Platform Draft Not Made. The platform of the party, it Is said, has not been drafted, but it Is ex pected' to follow In a general way the various Progressive state platforms adopted In the last four weeks. The programme for tomorrow calls for convening at noon; the speech of Mr. Beverldge as temporary presiding fficer; the appointment of commit :ees and the adoption or the resolu tion Inviting Colonel Roosevelt to ad Jress the convention Tuesday after-aoon r"A IfnnTni'-jViM niniii ifiim i pn iairrinnatir- rf4yM''wW"'" iim rnninrr i n iimiiim mmmm-. 111 si V -r 4 ct 'r:-' .- tvA I' - -v-n-v Group Photo Copyrighted by American Press Association.

COLONEL 10 INSIST Platform Must Be Approved or He Will Not Lead. PRESIDENT IS CRITICISED Roosevelt Comments Severely on Ap. polntment by Taft of Former Xegro Soldier to Post- Hon of Messenger. NEW YORK, -Aug. 4. The National Progressive party must accept Colonel Roosevelt's political doctrines if he is to be its standard bearer. He said late today, as he started for Chicago, that he would Insist upon making his "con fession of faith" to the delegates be fore the platform committee makes its final report, and that he would not ac cept the nomination on a platform that he did not approve. Colonel Roosevelt said that in his speech he would deal fully with all the great questions of the day. He would speak frankly and fearlessly, he said, and believed that the convention, ought to be fully apprised of his views be fore ratifying the tentative nomination which he accepted in Chicago. He contends that it was upon a question of principle that he left the Repub lican party, and now that he has done so, he cannot make a compromise of principles in accepting the leadership of the new movement. Speech to Be Tuesday. His declaration of political faith, he said, is one which would be termed either Socialism or anarchy, and prob ably both, but represents his convic tions. According to present arrange ments. Colonel Roosevelt will make his speech Tuesday. The appointment as a messenger by President Taft of Mingo Sanders, who as a sergeant of a negro infantry regi ment was discharged from the Army for participation in the Brownsville riots, led Colonel Roosevelt to censure the President. Sanders took the stump In the Ohio primary light' between Colonel Roosevelt and President Taft. "Sergeant Mingo," said the Colonel, "was the oldest and most respected non-commlssloned officer of the regl ment, which, on recommendation of the Secretary of War, were discharged without honor In 190C, and of whom .Mr. Taft in 1906, spoke of as, 'It goes without saying that if the guilty .could be ascertained they should and would be punished, but the guilty cannot be ascertained, and the very impossibility of determining who are the guilty ones makes the whole battalion useless to the Government as -ftn Instrument for maintaining law and order. The only means of riding the military service of a band of would-be murderers of women and children and actual mur derers of one man is the discharge of the entire battalion.' Taft's Coarse Ceannred. "In his report and recommendations, Mr. Taft explicitly stated that the vet eran non-commissioned officers In charge of the battalion were, of course, more responsible for what bad oc curred than the others, and nothing has occurred slnoe to slter the posi tion of Sanders exaept ais use by Mr. Taft's recommendation on bis military record. He is reinstated under Mr. Taft on his political record. "If Mr. Taft did not tell th etruth about Sanders and his colleagues In his report as Secretary of War from which I have quoted, then his conduct needs no characterisation by me. If I did tell the truth, then his reinstatement of Mingo Sanders in the publi? service 4; -nc? Is still less In need of any characteri sation by me." OREGON" DELEGATES ORGANIZE Povey Is Chosen Chairman and Dr. Coe Is National Committeeman. CHJCAGO. 111., Aug. 4. (Special. ) The Oregon delegation to the "Bull Moose" convention which opens here tomorrow has established headquarters at the Congress Hotel, in charge of J. Frank Hughes, of Marlon. Delegates Povey, Hughes, Dennis and Coe are reg istered at the hotel, where all Oregon visitors are being welcomed. The committee has organized and elected D. L. Povey chairman and J-J Frank Hughes secretary. Dr. Henry Waldo Coe has been chosen National committeeman. DennlB was chosen as the Oregon member for the credential, rules and ratification of the Vice-President committee. Dr. Coe was named for the permanent organization com mittee and Hughes for the resolutions and platform committees. Povey will be the Oregon member of the ratifica tion of the Presidential nomination committee. Dennis was selected to make Oregon's pleas before the convention, presenting the Oregon delegation's slogan of "Thumbs down for the bosses." The delegation instructed Hughes to seek the Insertion in the National plat form of the Oregon system, adopting the word "Oregon" in the document. Dr. Coe, provisional National com mitteeman, in the preliminary work of his committee, which has been in ses sion for two days adjusting contests and doing preliminary work of the convention, apportioned his work with full authority to Messrs Povey and Hughes, who are doing effective work. TAFT GUN STARTS ACTION (Continued from yirat Page.) matinee-stand tours, but will deliver speeches off and on In various states. Colonel Roosevelt, according to what Taft leaders have learned, has Intended to follow Wilson. And W. J. Bryan and Senator La Fol. lette will follow Roosevelt. Mr. Bryan as the representative of the Democratic organization may have a special train. Senator La Follette will travel, as a free lance In all probability. He is preparing to speak In various states In support of Republican candidates for Congress men who have fights On their hands. He also will do what he can to help- the election of Republican members of the Legislature In the states where progressive candidates for the United States Senate are In 'nom ination, and In all his speeches he will pitch Into Roosevelt, hammer and tongs, branding blm as a false prophet Of progressive Ideas. Taft Leaders Plan Sanely. It looks as though the Taft camp would watch the clash at arms between Roosevelt and and anti-Roosevelt and Roosevelt and Wilson forces for some time before unlirnberlhg their heaviest artillery. Meanwhile a echoolhouse and curbstone campaign of education every where will enlist the efforts of the army of ordinary Republican spellbind ers. Republican leaders now ' here and those who were here last week opine that Roosevelt will suffer a setback when several desertions from his standard, because, of his jown apostacy, become noticeable. It has been pointed out that, while Mr. Perkins and Mr. Flint appear to be sticking, several other supporters who were active for the Colonel In the Republican pre convention days and who would be val uable aids in his campaign for the elec toral vote in certain states, will not aid his present cause.

TO SCHOOL TO GET MONEY MOXMOUTH NORMAL CAX XOAV BUILD ITS DORMITORY. $50,000 Legislative Appropriation . Will Xot Be Held Up by . Secretary of State. SALEM, Or., Aug. 4. (Special.) The Monmouth Normal School will receive the 150,000 appropriated by the Legis lative session of 1911, for the construc tion of a dormitory. This was the announcement made to day by Secretary of State Olcott, fol lowing a conference with Assistant Attorney-General Van Winkle and after consultation with other attorneys and friends. vAs the result t the decision the necessity of the executive commit tee of the State Board of Normal Re gents Instituting- mandamus proceed ings against Secretary Olcott is fore stalled and work on the dormitory may go ahead. The appropriation made by the last Legislature was subject to an attack through the medium of the refereridum, petitions being filed at practically the same-time as the petitions directed at the University of Oregon. Following the suit brought in the University of Oregon cases, a similar suit was brought by H. Belt, a resident of Polk County, to enjoin the Secretary of State from placing the Monmouth Nor mal School bill on the ballot. This case came before Judge Galloway In the Circuit Court here, and the Secre tary of State was permanently enjoined from so doing. Attorney-General Crawford permitted the six months allowed tor taking an appeal to elapse and as a result the injunction in the lower court stood. Attorney-General Crawford then sub mitted as his belief that the Judgment of the lower court is void, on the ground that the Supreme Court held In the University of Oregon cases that British Columbia Farm Lands Over 100 millions of dollar now being spent in railroad building in the above province the same sure certainty of increase in land values will take place in B.
