T.R.AND T.R.0NLY IS GH0!CE OF CLUB Portland Progressives Over ride Efforts to Eliminate Colonel's Name. MEETING ATTENDED BY 65 Name of Organization Is National Prognsrive Club of Oregon "Bandana'' Is Dropped Mul key Is for Rooserelt. "Roosevelt for President and nobod but Roosevelt," was the prevailing; sen timent among a gathering of 65 pro gressives in the Kast Side Branch LI ' brary Monday night. Efforts to ellmi- nate Roosevelt's name as the choice for standard-oearer of the proposed new party In Oregon were trampled under foot. At ttie outset of the meeting, which was an adjourned session of a week before, the name of the tentative or- - sranlzatlon was changed, on motion of .David Gross, from the "National Ban-da-na Club of Oregon" to that of the "National Progressive Club of Oregon." L. II. Lepper. temporary secretary, wanted the word "Republican" included in the official designation of the club. but this suggestion was turned down after H. F. Gallimore had registered objections, based on the assertion that the use of the political term "would weaken the organization, especially In the South," from which, he said, he had come. Report Is Submitted. George W. Joseph, State Senator, as chairman, submitted the report of the committee on constitution and by-laws. After declaring that Roosevelt had been defrauded of the nomination at Chicago," the committee's report. In presenting reasons for the formation of the proposed club, insisted that the ex-President should be made a candi date for President in the coming elec tion. Membership In the .proposed organi zation was made available to any per son qualified to vote" and the bandana ' was declared to be the official emblem of the club. Harry Tanckwich demanded ---at the constitution and by-laws should include an indorsement of the "Oregon sys tem" and the official call issued by Senator Dixon, Roosevelt's manager, for a National convention August 6 at Chicago, when the proposed new party should be formed. This suggestion was opposed by Levi W. Myers. Arthur F. Brown, after asserting his . unflinching loyalty to Roosevelt, urged ' that it was a grave mistake to pro pose and insist on the candidacy of ltoosevelt to the utter disregard of all ether progressives. He said it was ap parent that the evident purpose of the gathering was to promote the candi dacy of Roosevelt to the exclusion of any consideration of any other pro gressive. He objected to the meeting pledging its support, through the or ganization of a club, to any one man for the Presidency, because of the handicap and embarrassment that ac tion might produce for the progres- ' live movement. . Joseph Make Objection. H. EL Vernon wanted the recora- ." tnendatlon as to Roosevelt's candidacy removed and an Indorsement of ths . "Oregon system" Incorporated in the committee's report. This was objected t n Kv no tnr .Tnftnnh who maintained that the purpose of the club was to promote the candidacy of Roosevelt, waom be regarded was the only man who could win. Over the continued protests of Mr. Brown and Mr. Yanckwicb the motion to eliminate the name of Roosevelt as the specific and accepted candidate of the new party for President was de cluively defeated. By the same unan Inuity of expression the incorporation of Dixon's call for a National conven tion, in which the name of Roosevelt was omitted, was rejected only to De made a part of the constitution and by laws on motion of Mr. Tanckwich Just " before the meeting adjourned. Over the protests of Mr. Yanckwicb. and Oliver 11- Hlckey, who charged "steam roller methods," the report of the com mittee was adopted with only a few scattering negative votes. Mulkey For Roosevelt. Permanent organization of the club was deferred until next Monday night, when, under the constitution and by laws, an executive committee of five numbers will also be elected. At the same time a subcommittee of five mem bers. to be appointed by Temporary Chairman Kellaher, will submit a re port on the advisability of proposing by petition five Roosevelt candidates for Presidential electors. Frederick V. Mulkey, who conducted Roosevelt's campaign in this state last Spring, aroused considerable enthusl asm when he announced his unwaver ing loyalty to Roosevelt, although be adenitted that If any other progressive ' 'should demonstrate greater strength be would be willing to transfer his support. Mr. Mulkey argued that the proposed new party must be a "party of prin ciple based upon a platform entirely opoosed to the perfectly equivocal, col orless and wabbling platform of the Republican party and the very danger ous platform enunciated by the Dem ocrats." Sixty -five voters attended last - night's meeting, as compared with 100 at the meeting a week before, when 6 signed as charter members of the proposed Roosevelt cluh.
