Seven divisions of marchers passed thru the streets, First came the po- lice division, and then the, military units, After these were the civil and fraternal organizations. Communities, business firms and organizations vied with each other in the float contests, and as a result scores of wonderful creations were intermingled with the marchers.

Girls went {thru the hall collecting pans full of | $10 bills to finance the La Follette campaign, after a plea by Edward | Keating, secretary of the conven-} | tion, who said La Follette could not Jexpect any contributions from “the predatory interests which finance the other political campaigns.” Keating also denounced President Coolidge, for whom he said it had been admitted that “a Boston de- partment store man is angel.” The sentiments of an apparently overwhelming majority of the con- vention were manifest by the en- thuslastic manner in which the key- note speech of William H. John- ston, chairman, was seconded, They stood and cheered for him when he] denounced communism and served notice that this convention would not disjoint itself over the Ku Klux Klan “as the democrats did.” A plea to women of the nation was made by Mrs. Edward P. Cos- tigan, of Washington, who declared the hope of mothers for the outlaw- | ing of wars lay in the platform of} | Progressives, Nelsen assured the convention in Ris prepared speech, that La Follette will accept the indorsement of the gathering. “Let us take up the unfinished work of berating the American peo: | ple from the bondage of special priv ilege, and under the leadership of La Follette, whose name is the progres. | sive platform, let us, with his cour. | age, wisdom and sense of righteous: | } ness; enter the arena of the coming campaign against the forces of re- action declaring that, under God, the sole sovereign of America shall be the representative government of this republic, embodying the free and uncoerced will of a majority of the American people,” he said, DENOUNCES BOTH OF OLD PARTIES Denouncing both the republican and democratic parties, Nelson de- }clared “the shadows of the uncon querable spirit of La Wollette filled both the convention at Cleveland and at New York with fear and trembing, warning one or both’ of them of com. ing defeat, | “This conference of progressive |men and women will determine tho | election of the next president, “A third party movement would be a mistake.

You're familiar with the idea, of course—to have Seat- tle and Tacoma, together, raise the $15,000 necessary to buy a 90-acre tract on salt water, two miles south of Des Moines, for a state park for the two cities, Read this letter, that came in the mail this morning from the Seattle Retail Grocers’ association: “At the last regular meeting of the Seattle Retail Grocers’ association it was resolved that, inasmuch as the necessity for a salt water park has been of long standing, and as The Seattle Star and Tacoma Times have placed the securing of such a park in concrete form, that the Seattle Retail Grocers’ association indorse the movement and that Frank Kannair, the secretary, inform the members to finance it to the extent of their individual ability.” ‘ That's going to be a big help, folks, in getting the common folks’ park “across.” Your grocer’s going to do his part.

Ralston at Indianapolis made public two telegrams sent to Thomas Taggart, in charge of the Ralston boom at the convention, in {which he requested withdrawal of his name as a “contribution toward peaceful solution of the situation confronting the convention.” ‘One of the telegrams was sent to Taggart July 1 and the other was \sent yesterday afternoon.
