" CONENTION ToDAY m Fights Anticipated Qver the (By Associated Press.) ‘national Prohibition convention ged this morning with delegates all the States in‘the unjon, The 3,:,..... \id recalland the change of name from the Prohibition to the Progressive party. THIRD PARTY CONVENTION MAY BOON BE CALLED, The third national party, cham- ploning the principles of Theodore Roosevelt, may find its beginning in Florida today on the receipt of a promised telegram to Col, H L., An- derson. In a statement last night, he said that such a telegram would mean the calling of a State conven- tion, which will represent from 75 to 80 per cent of Republicans, and numerous Democrats over the Penin- sula State. According to his statement, there is a deal of enthusiasm back of the third party movement in Florida. Un~ solicited assurances, he says, have come from representative Democrats that their sympathies will lead them to at least investigate the merits of a third party. - By the time of the State convention of the third party he believes there will be still others. The strength of the present State Republican party, in so far as its supporters are concerned, will go to the third party in a telling manner, it is said. The workers for the new party in Florida term the national convention of Republicans in Chi- cago 1"st month, an absolute demial of t' - principles, and the Palatka conye ‘on held Jast February, as de- featin, e will of a Republican ma- Jority in the State. Col, Anderson stated last night that he partially expected a telegram from the national headquarters of the party yesterday. Today he is prac- tically certain of its receipt, and just after this a whirlwind plan of or- ganization for a State convention will] be inmaugurated. So far, how- ever, he was unable to give any of the general plans of the third party convention of the State, in getting ready for the national party conven- tion in Chicago, Aug. 5. 80 confident is he that the third party will gain a strong foothold in Dixie, tbat he hopes Florida will lead the list in breaking the solid south from a Democratic standpoint and the defeat of what is termed in political pariance as “the officeholder’s trust” ~—Republicanward. | Times-Union ns, who for the years has been !
