= e i TAKE SNAP ACTION| Perkins Announces at Opening of Convention There Will Be No Nominating Today. KEYNOTE SPEECH BY ROBINS surrounding them and bflme that a proper spirit has been created from which the results so desirable in the best interests of the country may be finally obtained.” No Immediate Nomination, Mr, Perkins was asked if Colonel Roosevelt would be nominated today. “There is not a chance,” he replied. “We are not going to take any snap judgment,” Supplementing his formal ment, Mr, Perkins declared: “Everyone should keep it constantly in mind that the progressive conven- tion is not being held here at the same time as the republican conven- tion in the spirit of a threat” The progressives feel the first peace move ought to come from the republicans, but Mr, Perkins thought it puulble the progressives would take the initia- tive in efforts for peace Roosevelt Talks with Perkins. Mr. Perkins said a telephone con- versation he had with Colonel Roose- velt this morning was devoted almost entirely to the bad weather, both here and at Oyster Bay. Neither of them, said Mr, - Perkins, regarded the weather as an ill omen, Like huge snow flakes flecked over the auditorium were pinned :o;nn (/I “Teddy” songs to be Aunz es, including “When Teddy (nmcn ihrchmg Home,” to the tune of “When - Johnny Comes Marching Home." At noon the delegates were still fil- ing in and opening of the convention was delayed, Chairman Murdock and Strreury Davies of the natronal committee ar- rived just before the hour set for con- ferring with leaders { While the delegates were filing in the band played a medley of airs, in- cluding the progressive hmh sOng, “Onward Christian Soldiers.” Another was the music 1o the bull fight in the opera “Carmen.” Among progressive notables on lhe stage were James R. Garfield, William Flinn, Oscar Straus, phured when recognized. George W. Perkins was given an lovation when he came upon the stage shortly after noon. 1+ Fol owm’ the arrival of leaders the lnd played the “Star Spangled Ban- while the entire throng stood nvltfl bared heads. L Mr, Perkins was cheered frequently by separate delegations as some move- state- {nem on his part attracted their at- . e ntion, , Murdock Calls for Order. . At 12:27 the convention was called b order by Victor Murdock, chairman of the nuxmll committee. He rapped with his gavel for several minutes be- fore quiet was obtained. . Bishop William Fraser McDowell Chicago offered the mvocnlon fter shouting “everyhody uj Fo“owm: the prayer America” ng, the entire convention stand- ng and joining in the national an- {lhem “I know that the members of sthis convention will be on their good ,Iuhnwor. but as a precaution I re- lquest the police and sergeant-at- forward and stand at 'lrmn to u? lattention,” Chairman Murdock an- inounced. + The officers came forward and flash- ‘1..m photographs were then taken. Secretary O. K. Davis then read the convention call of the national committee and the temporary officers were announcd. Thereupon Chair- man ‘Murdock presented Raymond Robins of Chicago as temporary chairman of the convention. . When Mr. Robins' selection had been announced Clarence W, Halbert of Minnesota moved that the selec- tion be approved. The vote was unani- mous. Mr. Robins was applauded as he was escorted to the platform by Governor Johnson of California, Os- car S. Strauss of New York, Colonel John M. Parker of Louisiana and \(r Halbert pplause frequently halted Mr. \lun lock’s introduction, the thfong rising and slmulmfi when he said the progressives had "kept the faith” dur- ng the last four years, *You're right, we have,” delegates shouted. Mr. Robins was given an ovation as he stepped forth and took charge ot the convention, beginning his ad- dress. Cheer Thirty-Four Minutes. At the first mentiop of Colonel Roosevelt's name by Mr. Robins, the convention went Into a paroxysm of enthusiasm. Waving hands, hats and flags, they made a tumultous human sea of the convention floor. The ova- tion rose and fell in bursts of sound waves, those near the stage appar- ently leading the cheering. Dele, tions then began a march through t .hr aisles. Banners were brought up on | the stage and carried through the | hall. One of the most conspicuous of | the banners waved to the delegates, said “If Teddy were president would Villa be!” Chairman Robins was advised not scores of where 1 repeat Colonel Roosevelt's name when he was able to resume. He promised not to do so. The demon- | sration has proceeded thirty-four minutes. Convention officers agreed that the delegates could not have been restrained long from voicing their de mand for Roosevelt Thirty Thousand !

Twenty minutes before the hour set for the convention to be called to or- der great reaches of vacant seats marked the floor and galleries.

At 10:50 a. m. all persons not dele- gates were ordered from the delegate section. Theré were no demonstra- tions. It was the quietest conven- tion ever held.

The order was aisles at 10:59 and moving out all who were not dele- gates and forcing the delegates to their sections. Sergeant-at-Arms Stone asked the ulclrplu to be seated, his voice being carried alove the noise of conversa tion and cries of his assistants on the floor, which at 11 o'clock still was crowded with delegates who were making every effort to get seated.

DParaphrasing a remark made by the late President McKin- | ley, this is a year—whatever may have been true of past years—when poli tics is patriotism and patriotism is politics. Therefore the audience will rise and sing two verses of ‘Amer- ica, A male quartet led the singing. The voices of the delegates swelled through the big hall in a mighty chorus, almost drowning the band. There was a moment of confusion and the delegates took their scats and | then the Rev, John Timothy Stone of Chicago offered prayed.

"And we are not ‘too proud to fight' for them."” | All through Senator Harding's ref erence to tariff he drew applause, es pecially his declaration that he be ieved in a tariff that gave lu.m.n.m and prosperity to America first There was more applause when the | speaker referred to the war munitions | traffic and declared it had produced a prosperity at the cost of human lives “It is the gold sluiced from the river of blood,” he declared Loud laughter :mtl jeers greeted his reference to the “changing position of thte democratic party manifested from Baltimore to Vera Cruz” “Failure,” said he, “has greeted | every part of the tariff revision and fear is Imuntmfi the White House slumbers today There was applause when Senator Harding referred to the part German | immigrants had taken in [mmlhn and preserving the nation. More applause greeted a similar reference to Ireland His mention of England and France passed by without demonstration, His condemnation of “a few zealots of any nation who violated our neu- trality” brought prolonged applause The convention thought the senator had finished his speech and began a demonstration. Mr, Harding, how- ever, only stopped for a drink of water, and the delegates settled down again to hear him finish The speech came to a close with a peroration on Americanism, “There is no geographic modifica- tion of the American’s rights,” said Senator Harding. “He demands pro- tection everywhere,” Senator l{lnling referred to the manuscript for the closing words of his n;rr(h and the convention, realiz- ing he was closing, listened intently and then broke into great lpplau!t as he closed with the words, “and we | may rejoice to be rtpubllcanl" Temporary Ornniulion The recommendations for mnpnr- ary officers then were read. Former Governor Eberhart, Minne- sota, moved that the recommenda- tions be adopted. Chairman Harding put the question.

That was adopted After the lists had been gathered the place and time of the committee meetings later today were announced The committee on resolutions will meet at the Coliseum at 3:30 today o give public hearings At 1:28 o'clock Elon R, Brown of New York moved that the conven- | tion adjourn until 11 a. m. tomorrow, | It was carried 'Moose Leaders Draft Platform Under Three Heads Chicago, June 7.—A tentative draft of the progressive platform framed by a committee of leaders today shows that the principal appeal of the party vill be made on preparedness, with Americanism as the foundation, The draft is short, not more than 1,50C words in length, It discusses pre. paredness under three heads, “mili tary,” “of the spirit” and “industrial.” IInder the “spirit” comes American sm and under industrial prepared. ness come. the tariff and questions of social and industrial reform Much of the 1912 platform is omitted from the draft, but there is a general reiteration of its principles The draft was drawn by Dean ll liam Draper Lewis of the University of Pennsylvanie, Chester Rowell of California, James R, Garfield, Gifford Pinchot, Herbert Knox Smith, Wil- liam Dudley Foulke and William Al len White.
