Is to Be the Keynote of . i His Campaign Will Issue Call for Convention Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 6. The Pro gressive movement, as Colonel Roose velt put it tonight, is to be the key note of his- campaign. It means, he said, the putting into effect of 'every principle for which we stand." Col onel Roosevelt's statement was regard ed as an indication that he would draw the line taut for an uncompro mising fight, that he would insist upon a platform and a campaign of such a nature as to lay before the people for a verdict in November the complete programme to which he has commit ted himself. Colonel Roosevelt's views, he says, "are set forth in his charter of De mocracy" speech in Columbus, Ohio, last February which marked his re entry into active politics.' Since that time he has declared himself unquali fiedly for woman suffrage. That the courts will come in for attention at the hands of the new-party was indicated by the fact that Col onel Roosevelt spent a large part of the afternoon in considering the sub-, ject. He had with him. William L. Ransom, of Brooklyn, a lawyer who attracted the Colonel's attention sev eral weeks ago by delivering before the New York association a lecture in defense of the recall of judicial de cisions, the doctrine enunciated by the ex-President in his Columbus speech. Colonel .Roosevelt did not indicate whether he would urge that the new party take a stand in favor of the re call. of judicial decisions. It is .believ ed, however, that he would not insist upon this step as he said throughout his recent campaign that he 'favored the application of this measure tc State courts only and would not at tempt to apply it to the Federal" ju diciary. The call for the National convention of the new party is ready, Colone Roosevelt said, aitf will be made pub . lie on Monday.

The glory of the opening of the Olympic games of 1912 should be divided between Sweden and the United States. Sweden gets the; lion's share for the . impressive stage-setting she provided for the con tests 'wfiich, with the natural beauties of Stockholm, its parks and palaces and lakes, and the. moving ceremonial with which the King inaugurated the meeting makes it by far the most memorable international festival ever held. America's share of the honor is due to the remarkable fashion in which her brawny young men set to work on the cinder path. They ran away with heat after heat in -the first rounds of the 100 and 800 meters; they outdid the expectations of their trainers and completely -upset the calculations the public had made. -They left their old time British rivals far behind. With five American sprinters, Drew, Meyer, Craig, Lippincott and Belote, and the South African, Patching, to run the final in the 100 meters,, that event may be written down for the United States. With eight tnen out of 18 to com pete in the semi-final of the 800 me ters, five of whom won their respec tive"Nheats in the trials, it would seem as though the United States had an excellent opportunity to annex that event also. Trainer Mike Murphy's cup of joy is full. The smashing of the Olympic record by D. F. Lippincott, University of Pennsylvania, in the 16th heat of the 100 meters event, puts that runner in the hero class. The only cloud in the sky is due to an unfavorable accident suffered by the Springfield High .School boy, H. P. Drew, who strained ' a ten don of his leg in the semi-finals of the 100 meters, the first of which he won. This may bar him from the final. The world's record with the javelin, made by E. Lemming, the Swedish cham; pion, was not unexpected, but the Ha waiian' swimmer, "Duke" Kahanamo ku, covered himself with glory by slipping through the water in his trial heat of the 100 meters free style, which gave the United States the sec ond world's record of the meeting. The carnival spirit pervades -Stockholm, the Olympiad contrasting cheer fully ,with. the more, solemn- atmos phere of London in 1908. Today's pro ceedings were as tumultuous as a col lege football game. . Two dark skinned delegates from the Orient got an ovation, but found themselves far outclassed by their Eu ropean and American - brethren. A Turk, conspicuous in a flaming scar let Jersey, brought the .crescent badge to the front in the 800 meters for a brave but bfief moment; then he fad-i ed into, the background. A tall Jap anese trailed far behind throughout the 100 meters. Toriight a bialliant gathering watch ed the swimming events. ' Thousands massed in the grand stand beside the river.
