DIRECT MODSES
They Represent All Sections of
Country and Are Members of
Executive Committee.
CHICAGO. Auk. 9. —Four women
from four widely separated sections of
the country have been appointed mem
bers at large of the Progressive party's
national committee. The names were
submitted to Colonel Roosevelt before
his departure for New York and were
given his hearty Indorsement. The
women appointed are:
Miss Frances Keller, of New York:
Miss Jane Addams. of Illinois; Miss
Jean Gordon, of Louisiana; Mrs. Isa
bella Blaney, of California.
The names of these women were sug
gested by women delegates at the con
vention and by other women who were
interested In the progressive move
mnt. All have signified their willing
ness to accept the appointment and to i
take an active part in the campaign.
It is the plan to ask the new mem
bers at large to advise with the com
mittee on the general outline of the
campaign, to seek their aid in states
where actual suffrage now is in force,
and to secure through them the sup
port of the women of the United States
generally.
The leaders of the new party assert
that another reason for the appoint
ment is to show their determination to
endeavor to bring about equal suffrage
throughout the entire country.

Colonel, Beaming,
Reaches New York
NEW YORK. Aug. 9. —Colonel The'o-
I dore Roosevelt, still full of the enthu
siasm that reached such a high pitch
at the Chicago convention, came back
to New York today on the Twentieth
Century Limited, arriving at the Grand
Central station 25 minutes late. The
colonel was accompanied only by a
personal party, but he was quickly rec
ognized as he left the train shed, and
crowds that quickly numbered hun
dreds gathered about him and following
him to the carriage exit, cheered him
repeatedly.
The colonel wore the conventional
brand of Roosevelt smile as he heard
the cheering, and doffed his hat as he
made his way through the series of en
ttrances and exits. At the carriage exit
an automobile was waiting for him, and
as he climbed into the car and was
whisked off a final cheer greeted him.
With the colonel was his wife, his
nephew. George H Roosevelt, and Er
nest H. Abbott. All drove in the same
automobile to The Outlook office, and
frequent cheering and waving of hand
kerchiefs greeted the colonel on his
way down town.

Proprietor Blames Firemen for
Carelessly Leaving Sparks.
Charge Incendiarism.
i
The Terminal Clothing Company's
I store. 7 West Mitchell street, is wrecked
I today as the result of three fires which
■ broke out last night and early today
at two-hour intervals.
The fires were in three separate parts
of the building and to the eye show
> no connection. The first fire occurred
in the basement and *vas discovered at
; 9 o'clock. The fire department extin
guished the blaze and returned to head-
■ quarters. Two hours and one minute
I later they were again called to the same
store anti found a cabinet of men's suits
i blazing. This was on the main floor of
the store. Again at 1:06 o'clock this '
morning they were called to put out a
blaze which had broken out on a shelf
on the opposite side of the store.
E. Saperstein, proprietor of the store,
I made a statement to a representative
of The Georgian, in which he accused
i the fire department of carelessness in
not extinguishing all sparks before they
i left the first time.
The firemen say they put out the fire
’ each time and point out that it must
have been incendiary. i
i Saperstein’s loss has not been esti
mated. He says he has $1,200 worth of
stock and says that it is fully covered
: by insurance.
He has suffered fire losses before, and I
i in the rear of the store are a number I
of old suits which were damaged in a
previous blaze. ■ I

WALTER M'ELREATH
IS A CANDIDATE FOR
STATE LEGISLATURE
To the Voters of Fulton County:
I announce myself a candidate for re
election as representative front this
county, subject to the primary to be
held on August 21. x
I have served in the Legislature for
two terms, and I have tried to do so
faithfully, diligently and efficiently.
The experience I have gained from past
service has fitted me to serve more
efficiently in the future.
To properly represent so great a
county as this, with its many* and com
plex interests, is a difficult task, and
legislative experience will be especial
ly necessary during the next term, when
Fulton county will not furnish a sen
ator.
I am at a disadvantage in presenting
my candidacy, because every moment
of my time will be taken up with du
ties in the legislature until so near the
date of the primary that I will be able
to see but very few of the voters. 1
trust the public will take this into
consideration and will not let my per
formance of dutv work to mv disadvan
tage. WALTER M'ELREATH
