IUIR1) PARTY MOVEMENT
LA INCH ED IN CHICAGO
CHICAGO, July 10— The commit
tee of forty eight, assisted by fratern
al delegates representing half a doz
en liberal and radical organizations,
today launched the third party move
ment in the first national convention.
La Collette, who won the mail prefer
ence referundum to determine the
most popular candidate for the presi
dential nomination, appears to have no
opposition. Nearly all of the 500 or
600 delegates are wearing LaEollette
badges. Today’s session was largely
devoted to keynoting and organiza
tion. Allen McCurdy, as temporary
chairman, denounced both the Repub
lican and Democratic platforms. The
opening of the convention was delay
ed by conferences between representa
tives of the committee of 48, labor
party, Non-partisan league, tax party
and Triple Alliance of the Northwest
and several other organizations. Each
group has some pet plank and the
task of harmonizing all elements
threatens to prove complicated.

cessful fight before the Republican
National convention. The majority of
I the 30,000 votes in the recent referun- (

possible.
The Battleship New Mexico, with
Secretary Daniels aboard arrived at
Seattle yesterday afternoon at 1:30
o’clock. Secretary Daniels attended
the dedication of the Sand Point fly
ing field during the afternoon.
The fleet will probably arrive at
Juneau next Tuesday afternoon where
(Jov. Biggs, Jr., will be dropped. The
stop there will he only for a short
time. Tilt* fleet will then proceed to
Seward, thence the secretaries will go
to the Matanuska coal fields to make
a thorough investigation, then return
to Anchorage, thence by destroyers to
join the battleship Idaho, outside, on
which the party will return to Seattle
hr'ore July 25th via the outside pass
age.
Admiral Rodman will stay in the
north with the destroyers which will
engage in an Alaska patrol for a mon
th covering the coast to the Peninsula.
The investigation of Secretary
Daniels and Secretary Payne will cov
er the manner of handling coal for
the navy also the possibility of open
ing the coal fields to commercial leas
es.
The presence of Daniels and Payne
together is considered most important.
The two officials will also investi
gate the development of the fisheries
as a food source.
Both Secretary Payne and Secretary
Daniels will consider the feasibility of
extending the railroad to Passage
Bay for easier shipment of coal. (The
telegram probably means Portage
Bay.)
Officers of the destroyer fleet will
be made thoroughly familiar with
northern navigation.
Admiral Hodman, who spent four
years in Alaska coast survey and
boundary work, is intensely interested
in the northern country. He expects ft
good time fishing while in the north.
The itinerary, after leaving Juneau,
calls at other ports before reaching
Seward, had not been decided upon
last night.
