Mr. Bloodgood:
Q. How long have you been reading the New York Herald?
A. Oh, I believe since I am able to read.
Q. And the World?
A. Also.
Q. Now you said the other evening that papers you principally read were those two—was that correct?
A. Correct.
Q. Now did you read them during August of this year. You were in New York then?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. And state what impressed you in particular—what you saw in the New York Herald in August—at about that time of the formation of the new progressive party in Chicago?
