President Taft Takes Responsibility
for Keeping Men at Work Monday
Hoping for Action That Day.
WASHINGTON. June 28. After
conferences with law officers of var
ious departments were he'd today it
scorns nrobable that before nfcht
President Taft would issue n state
ment nssiiminu' full responsibility for
keeping nil departments and branches
of the government nmninir Monday, in
.spite of the fact that the present ap
propriatiotin expire Sunday at mid
night and no provision lias been made
for the payment of government em
ploye, after that time.
WASHINGTON, June 28. "If con
gress e.xpeetd to pass, the post office
appropriation bill before midnight on
Monday," Miid Postmaster General
Hitchcock in a statement issued today
"or if proper provision is not made
for the continuance of the service, the
effect will be felt in the whole coun
try.
''The great army of postnl em
ploye.s, 333,000 in all, will hnve their
pav stopped immediately, nor can
they continue their service because
this is forbidden by statute. '
"I'pon these employes at lenst 1
000,000 persons are dependent for
their living-. At one blow need will
come iton them with nil its attendant
hard-hips, misery and hunger.
"A grent many post office lenses
will expire automatically; con tracts'
for envelopes, twine nnd other mater
ials used in qwmUtic in the servict
will become inoperative and the great
plants which furnish the commodities
to the government will hnve to close
their doors or cut their force to the
limit.
"All over tho country thu cessation
of nil mail service will work the great
est inconvenience, and often inestim
able hardship. Important letters can
not oven be sent, much less delivered.
''Every individual in the country
will be affected, tho great majority of
them directly nnd others indirectly.
"The postal service is a tremendous
machine, tho greatest business estab
lishment in the wliolo world,"
Representative A. P. Pujo of tho
Seventh Louisiana district, whoso
namo will long bo remembered In
connection with tho "Monoy Trust"

A GREAT CAUSE
ltesMtiisibiUty for Division
"Upon Theodore Roosevelt and his
followers rosts tho responsibility ot
having divided tho progressives In
thoir first national convention.. Stim
ulated by au overmastering deslro to
win, they denounced loyalty to con
viction and prlnclplo as stubborn
solfishnesa.
"In tho convention thoy put for
ward no platform no Issuos. They
made no fight against tho reactionary
platform adopted. Thoy substituted
vulgar porsonalltl'os and the coarso
optthots of tho prize-ring for tho sor
lous consideration of grent economic
probloniB and for tho tlmo bolng
brought ridicule and contompt upon
a great causo.
"Hut tho progressive movement
does not consist of a fow self-constituted
lendors. It consist of mil
lions of thoughtful cltlzons drawn to

prlnlclples. Thoy will permit no

Amusement While Nomination
Speeches Are in Progress.
HALTIMORE, Juno 28. A wilder
ness of chains; n floor buried inchcH
deep in a heterogenous rubblisl) ft
chewed cigars, bits of papers, rcra
nnniu of lunch, beer and pop bottles
nnd frayed banners; air fetid nnd
humid, a few dejected employes, list
lessly striving to clean up this wnk
today' view of tho nnttouul demo
cratic convention hall.
It was not until nearly noon that
any attempt wns mride to clear uway
the debris for the four o'clock Hcs
sion. Through most of the day a
sickly fitful sun strovo in vain to
lighten tho gloom. Outside it rained
in fits and starts.
Enthusiasm Unparalleled
Ten minutes after Chninnan.Jamcs'
gavel had declared a recess there
wasn't a dclcgnto or alternate or visi
tor left in the vast building. Slcopy
eyed the crowd hnd revived hurricdlv
lo bfuirry out -of the structure: There
wiis no enthusiasm left.
Probably never before in a national
convention hnvo such scenes been en
acted as those of last night. JIIo
frenzy of enthusiasm was unparal
leled. It left strong men weak from
exhaustion. When the garish lift pf
dawn vied with electric lights, it re
vealed a sweat-begrimed crowd of
men, flung listlessly Into their hard
bottomed chairs, their aching limbs
btrctched out of half recumbent atti
tudes. Scores slept peacefully de
spite a constant din of hoarse com
ment flung at persistent speakers or
Chairman James' A'igorous pounding.
Tho Missouri delegation, in tho front
row wns there to a man but not a man
had any voice loft. An hour of cheer
ing for Champ Clnrk early in tho night
left them ulmost speechless, with only
queer croaking utterances.
Halting of Speakers
William J. Bryan left tho hull
shortly after miduight, but Chairman
Ollie James settled his massive bulk in
a big armchair and stuck to the job
through practically the cntiro session,
relinquishing the gavel for a few mo
ments rest about 4 o'clock. Expecting
a ballot on tho nomination, very few
of tho delegates deserted tho hall,
and while thoy were there they liuil
their fun. Baiting of speakers was
tho main outlet of amusement. At
noon thu only sign of Ufa in tho big
hall was in one of tho utitc-rooms,
where the resolutions committee
wrestled with tho platform and in
groups on tho floor, whuro workmen
struggled to clear away tho dtbris.
The only two things that did not up

white dove released during the Uudor
wood demonstration. Both wore given
freedom outside thu hull.
