Roosevelt Speech Overshadows Negro Question at Convention
Chicago August 6 The negro question looms as the key issue at the progressive convention resuming at noon today.

Vice presidential choices are unsettled amid urging from Judge Lindsay and Governor Johnson. Woman suffrage is expected to play a major role in the evolving political lineup.
