( e st / N e suom oy NAME ROOSEVELT BY AGCLAMATION Moose Convention Proceeds to Act as Soon as Republicans Begin Third Ballot. ASKED IF HE WILL ACCEPT Auditorium, Chicago, June 10—At the very moment when it was flashed to the progressive convention that Hughes had been nominated at the Coliseum as standard bearer of the republican party Chairman Robins of the progressives' convention was an- nouncing Colonel Roosevelt had been unanimously nominated as the pro- gressive leader, the convention went wild and there was no way to inform the delegates what had transpired at the Coliseum. For several minutes Chairman Robins vainly rapped for order. Five minutes passed before order was restored, and James A. Garfield R of Ohio, without telling the delegates that Hughes had been nanied at the Coliseum, asked for a recess to 3 p. gn.,”aftcr singing one verse of “Amer- ica, _"No, no,” velled the delegates, but Chairman Robins said the time saked for was necessary and finally the del- egates yielded and the delegates be- gan to file out at 12:42 to return again at 3 p. m. Question up to Roosevelt. Before this action was taken Mr. Robins_had mentioned the necessity »f nominating a vice president. “John- son is the man,” was the shout that came from the floor, showing that desire of the party was almost mously for their 1912 standard rers—Colonel Theodore Roose- it of New York and Governor Hi- Johnson of California. overnor Johnson declared after re- ¢ss that he and other leaders would communicate with Colonel Roose- velt during the recess and insist upon a definite statement as to whether he would accept. “I insist,” the governor said, “that these delegates should be advised, before the convention ad- journs, just what the progressive party intends to do. I am very posi- tive in my conviction that they should not be held in suspense in this criti- cal time.” After using his gavel vainly for sev- eral minutes. Chairmen Robins finally secured order and James R. Garfield offered a motion to recess until 3 o'clock and that the entire assem- blage join in singing “America.” Chairman Robins said that im- portant business other than nomina- tion of a vice presidential candidate was to be transacted this afternoon. The time asked is necessary for the order of the convention. Nominating a candidate is one thing. Electing a president is another. If you have not got the stuff to go through, then don't come back. If you have, come back like patient and self-respecting citi- zens %i a great democracy at 3 o’clock and we will lay the lines of the great- 2st battle ever fought in the republic imd in November the progressives will not be the second party, it will be the first party. Chairman Robins called for “Amer- ca” and the crowd filed out cheering wd shouting, wild with enthusiasm, Convention Reassembles. When the Frogrcssivet reassem- Jled shortly after 3 o’cléck the lead- ors and delegates were much excited by inquiries regardini Justices Hughes' action. The hall hummed with excitement and expectations of a message from Oyster Bay. Reports that Colonel Roosevelt had merely taken the nomination under advise- ment caused some resentful discussion among some of the delegates, The stage was crowded with im- promptu conferences before the open- ing gavel dropped. The pre-session scenes of enthusiasm including “Teddy” songs, state yells and cheer- ing were re-enacted with no apparent diminition in enthusiasm, Chairman Robins' gavel sounded for what was expected to be the final session at 3:15. The clamor quickly subsided and after the prayer a huge bouquet of roses was presented to Chairman Robins by the Michigan delegation. Chairman Robins announced there was an erroneous report made of the morning proceedings. He said at the republican convention and in the press it was reported the progressive convention had laid upon the table the letter of Colonel Roosevelt. The record was corrected to show that Roosevelt’s morning telegram was not tabled by the progressive convention, but only by the report of progressive peace conferees. The convention then proceeded to vice president nomination, calling the rolls of states. California, Gov- ernor Johnson’s home state, was passed temporarily. When Indiana was called, some one shouted “Fair- banks” and the crowd tittered. The first candidate presented was Chairman Raymond Robins of Chi- cago by delegate H. P. Gardner of Maine. “We have no time for honorable mention,” said Chairman Robins and his nomination was not seconded. Colonel John M. Parker of Louisi- ana was then nominated for second place by Everett Colby of New Jer- sey. Delegates from Georgia, Towa, Arizona, Ohio and many other states ,secended Colonel Parker’s nomina- tion. The name of Goveswor Johnson of (alifornia was then placed in nomi- nation by a Kentucky delegate. In endorsing Colonel Parker speeches were made declaring such action would help to wipe out sec- tional feeling between the north and the south. Judge W. E. Howell of Louisiana, seconding Colonel Parker’s nomina- tion, thanked the cunvention for its tribute to Louisiana’s favorite son. Governor Johnson raceived his cus- tomary ovation when he stepped upon the stage to second Colonel Parker’s nomination. Following his speech the nomination of Mr. Parker was made by acclamation. Morning Session. Then the leaders demanded the con- vention immediately convene. Chair- man Robins ordered the stage hur- riedly cleared. At 10:43 Chairman Robins began pounding his gavel. There was a show of haste to praceed to nominations hefore the republican convention should convene at 1i o'clock. About one-third of the delegates were absent when the opening gavel banged. : s “Let us be seated quickly,” said Chairman Robins earnestly.. Two shrill toots of a whistle somewhat re- lieved the tense situation. Chairman Robins announced that the conven- ROOSEVELT NOMINATED BY ACCLAMATION BY BULL MOOSERS—Former president named by the Progressive Party convention at same time that Hughes is named by the Republican convention.

Chester Rowell of California told of the conference of state chairmen. Mr. Rowell said they requested that the convention do not “take any ac- tion until their arrival.” “How soon will they be here?” del- egates shouted. “Will you wait?” he asked. “Yes; we'll wait,” and “no, no” were shouted at Mr. Rowell. “We will wait a reasonable time,” said Chairman Robins. May Avoid Roll Call. Mr. Robins said the convention then would proceed to nominations. “This is not a time for speeches, but for action,” he said, and then sent the convention into a demonstration by adding significantly, “We are go- ing to do just what we came to Chi- cago to do.” hairman Robins asked that when the nominating speeches are made the convention reserve its long nt- plause for the end, so that the speak- ers may not be interrupted. The early end of the convention was presaged by an announcement that a New York special would leave Chicago tonight if the convention ad- journs before 6 o'clock. Mr. Davis explained that the con- vention, if it so desired, could make its nommnation unanimous without a roll call. This suggestion met with loud approval. Conference Report Read. The conference report was made by Mr. Perkins. He recited last night's meeting with the republican conferees, stating that the progres- sives were again asked for their sec- ond choice candidate for president. He said that the progressives' position was the same—that the pro- gressives had presented a candidate land that the republicans had not and e 1 OMFORT, Security and Service—tire elements most desired—Goodyear Cord Tires give you in utmost measure.

He sawd the republicans asked that the pro- gressive convention join in a state- nent for Justice Hughes. Mr. Perkins then read the reply of the progressives, who said they would take pleasure in suggesting Justice Hughes' name to the progressive con- vention today. The decision of the convention, Mr Perkins added, was of vital import to the country. Johnson “1 ask you members of the progres- Mr. Perkins said: good by deeds,” Colonel Roosevelt {place Mr said.
