Auditorium, Chicago, June 10.—At
the moment that the news was flashed
to the auditorium that the republicans
had nominated Justice Charles R.
Hughes as standard bearer of their
party. Chairman Robins today was an
nouncing that the progressive conven
tion had nominated Theodore Roose
velt for president.
The action of the progressives fol
lowed an all night and early morning
attempt of conferees of both parties to
unite on one candidate. The progres
sives lost their last chance to compro
mise last night when they refused to
get together with the republicans on
either Hughes, Cummins or Root. This
morning the republican conferees re
fused to consider any name but that
of Hughes.
Timed Nomination.
It was evident from the moment the
delegates began to gather this morning
that they would jam the Roosevelt
nomination through. They timed their
progress to make the announcement
simultaneous with that of the Hughes’
announcement.
The progressives, following the nom
ination of Roosevelt, recessed until 3
o'clock.
Mr. Roosevelt was nominated by
Bainbridge Colby and the nomination
was seconded by Governor Hiram
Johnson.. The vote was by acclama
tion.
When George W. Perkins, one of the
conferees, announced the result of the
harmony efforts there was no holding
the bull moosers any longer.
Mr. Perkins read a telegram from
Colonel Roosevelt, urging the two par
ties to get together and nominate Sen'
ator Lodge.
“I ask you members of the progres
sive convention to make those words
good by deeds,” Colonel Roosevelt said.
“In view of the conditions I present
the name of Senator Lodge, of Massa
chusetts,” said Mr. Perkins.
Loud cries of “No, no,” came from
the floor and interrupted the reading
of the telegram.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the telegram, again loud cries of "No,
no.” came from ail parts of the hall,
mixed also with loud cheers and ap
plause.
The convention evidenced its ap
proval of Mr. Perkin’s action with a
prolonged burst of cheers.
Mr. Perkins said. "In common honor
of fairness we cannot vote and place
Mr. Roosevelt in nomination until his
communication is submitted to the
other convention."
Chairman Robins took the floor from
Geo. W. Perkins who followed Mr.
Colby by recognizing Governor Hiram
Johnson as soon as it was announced
m that the republicans had proceeded
with a third ballot. The discourtesy to
Mr. Perkins was howled down, and
Governor Johnson at once yielded to
Mr. Perkins to inform the convention
•of the withdrawal at the coliseum of a
(number of favorite son candidates.
Mr. Perkins argued earnestly to de
fer action until the’republican conven
tion receives its committee report.
“That’s right,” shouted several dele
gates.
Colonel Parke- of Louisiana, who fol
lowed Mr. Perkins said one of the
“greatest crisis in the country’s his
tory was at hand today.”
Chairman Robins then recogrrized
Chairman O’Connell, of the New York
state delegation, to move to suspend
the rules and proceeded to nominations.
Hamilton Fish., jr., of New York, de
nied that Chairman O’Connell repre
sented the delegation.
At 10:43 Chairman Robins began
pounding the gavel. There was a show
of haste to proceed to nominate before
the republican convention should con
vene at 11 o’clock.

WOMEN'S SUIT PRICE
WILL BE ADVANCED
Strike of Garment Worker?
Will Afford Chance, Says
Schlesinger.
New York, June 12.—Higher prices
for women's cloaks and suits next fall
as a result of the strike and lockout in
the garment industry in this city were
predicted today by Benjamin Schles
inger, president of the International
Ladies’ Garment Workers’ union.
In fact. Mr. Schleslnger, said the
lockout of 30,000 workers by the Manu
facturers’ association was to provide an
excuse to raise prices. The union had
cited the garment strike in 1911 as a
parallel case, saying that the prices of
cloaks and suits were increased in some
cases as high as 50 per cent at that
time.
OFFIClLSFi
Washington Receives Word
That Demonstrations Are
Seen Along Border
—Need Trucks.
Washington. D. C„ June 12.—Admin*
/stration officials were uneasy today
over continued reports of anti-Ameri
can demonstrations in northern Mex
ico. Americans fearing serious riots
are making their way to the border in
great numbers and those seeking to
return to Mexico are advised against
such action by border agents, acting
under orders.
Most demonstrations have gone no
further than mass meetings and
speeches by agitators, who resent the
presence of American troops on Mexi
can soil. Carranza troops have sought
usually to disperse such gatherings.
Officials fear public opinion may flare
into open rioting directed against
American citizens although no fear is
felt for the safety of General Pershing’s
forces.
In the states of Chihuahua, San Luis
Potosi and Nuevo Leon, anti-American
demonstrations have been particularly
numerous and attacks on American
property were reported from Chihua
hua and Monterey where there are no
consular agents.
—♦—
NEED TRUCKS.
Washington. D. C., June 12.—More
motor trucks are needed by the Ameri
can force in Mexico especially, will be
supplied. General Funston reported
today to the war department that bad
roads and continual use of trucks in
hauling supplies had caused a number
to break down. The rainy season, now
starting, makes ample transportation
facilities urgent, he explained. More
than 300 trucks and about 100 other
motor vehicles are now with the
American expeditionary forces, army
officials declared. General Funston
did not state the exact number of those
which have broken down.
—♦—
THREAT BY CARRANZA.
Columbus. N. M., June 12,—Ameri
can scout patrols with General Per
shing’s army In Mexico, have been
threatened with an attack by Carranza
troops, according to authoritative in
formation received here today. A col
umn of Carranza cavalry is said to
have dashed forward upon an Ameri
can detachment south of Namiquipa,
rifles in hand. The Americans are
said to have averted a clash by stand
ing their ground. According to the
report the Mexicans withdrew, taunt
ingly.
HOSTILE DEMONSTRATIONS
CONTINUE ALONG BORDER
Washington, June 12.—Anti-Ameri
can demonstrations in northern Mex
ico continue, according to official ad
vices today, particularly in the states
of Chihuahua, San Luis Potosi and
Nuevo Leon, and, although the mani
festations thus far have been confined
mostly to speechmaking, consular
agents have reported that the temper
of the people appears such that any
eventualities might be possible.
Americans are leaving for the border
in steadily increasing numbers. Under
previous instructions, state department
agents in Mexico are giving every pos
sible aid. In addition, border agents
have been instructed to urge those
seeking to return to Mexico to stay on
the American side of the border for the
present.
Army officials have no fear for the
safety of the American expedition. It
is so closely concentrated as to be fully
able to defend itself in any emergency
and also to lend protection to a wide
stretch of the border. No new troop
dispositions were in progress, Secretary
Baker said, and General Funston's re
ports have been of a routine character
for several days past.
The spread of the anti-American agi
tation may delay the sending of a re
ply to General Carranza’s note demand
ing recall of the American troops. Crea
tiop of an international commission to
discuss all difficulties is known to have
been suggested under existing treaties,
and it is understood that the proposal
still is before President Wilson.
CAVALRY PATROLS.
San Antonio, Tex., June 10.—A
squadron of Texas cavalry entrained
for Laredo early today to strengthen
the troops on patrol duty in the Laredo
district. Horses will be sent later.
General Funston had intended the
squadron of militia cavalry for service
in the. Big Bend country, but the activ
ities of De La Rosa, south of Laredo,
caused a change in plans.

STIRS DELEGATES
Speech, In Which A. B. Cum
mins’ Name Is Placed Be
fore Convention, Enthu
siastically Received.
Coliseum, Chicago, June 10.—When
the 1916 convention has closed and
political historians take up their work
of recording the truly memorable
events of the gathering, they may well
devote special time and space to the
reception accorded the name of Iowa's
favorite son, Albert Baird Cummins.
Nominated by the eloquent ex-con
gressman, N. E. Kendall, the presenta
tion of the Cummins cause was in good
hands. When his name had been pre
sented, the crowd began to show its
enthusiasm. It was not a rehearsed
demonstration. It w’as a hearty dis
play of loyalty and devotion. The dem
onstration lasted for 18 minutes and
might have continued to greater length
had not the chairman rapped for or
der.
Mr. Kendall's nominating speech was
one of the best on the afternoon’s pro
gram. He held the attention of his
hearers, as few other had been able to
do. The seconding speech was made
by S. E. Wilson, of South Dakota.
Part of Mr. Kendall’s remarks fol
low :
“ ’Of all that is good Iowa affords
the best.' As her representative this
afternoon I offer to the reunited party
in the nation a candidate whose nomi
nation in June will be equivalent to
election in November.
Duty of the Hour.
“What Is the imperative duty of this
hour? No delegate here can be Indif
ferent to the overwhelming responsi
bility which solemnizes his action this
afternoon. The importance of this
convention to country and party can
not be overestimated in Its gravity.
However, if there be fears, there are
also hopes. Within our ranks there
are conflicting opinions, conscientious
ly cherished and honestly defended, but
they may all be generously tolerated
without sacrificing any of the essential
principles of the party. Let us search
for grounds of cohesion rather than for
causes of dissension.
“Who can most certainly enlist the
earnest cooperation of all those who
deeply believe that these principles
should be speedily crystallized Into the
law of tlie land? The judicious answer
to this inquiry will be discovered in
your dispassionate selection of the man
who is most acceptable to all the forces
of progress and enlightenment and
righteousness upon which republican
supremacy must alw’ays depend. We
offer you a statesman familiar with the
past, acquainted with the present, fore
armed for the future. Of approved
ability, of seasoned experience, of un
blemished character, he is unexcelled
in his equipment for the presidential
office.
His Achievements.
“For more than a generation he has
stood in the forefront of the battle for
popular government; for the direct
election of senators, for a tax on in
comes, for tlie regulation of railroads,
for the restraint of corporations, for the
repression of trusts, lor the enlarge
ment of tlie rights and privileges of
the average man; and he was en
grossed in the advocacy of these salu
tary reforms when men less fearless
were reluctant to volunteer in the un
promising struggle. Throughout his
extended and versatile career he has
never hesitated to espouse the right no
matter how sorely beleaguered, nor to
attack the wrong no matter how
strongly intrenched. Without patron- |
age, without publicity bureaus, without
electioneering contrivances, his candi
dacy lias gradually advanced in the ap
probation of the country because he is
acknowledged to be fit and worthy and
available. Thrice governor of the im
perial Hawkeye commonwealth, and
thrice invested with her commission to
the senate of the United States, his
testimonials are a private life that Is
Irreproachable, and a public service
dedicated to the welfare of his fellow
men. By the unanimous mandate of
the 800,000 enthusiastic and militant
republicans of Iowa, I present him to
your friendly favor: Albert B. Cum
mins."

...
Table Resolution By Vote of
523 to 82, Saying They
Favor It, But Will
Not Adopt It.
Auditorium, Chicago, June XO.—The
progressive convention by a vote of
523 to 82, tabled a resolution favoring
prohibition. Delegates expressed the
opinion that while they favor prohibi
tion, they do not want to make It the
main issue in the party’s campaign.
Delegate W. D. Cooper, of Lawrence,
Kas., launched the prohibition fight In
troducing an amendment proposing a
federal constitutional amendment to
prohibit the sale, manufacture, Impor
tation and exportation of intoxicating
liquors. It was greeted with prolonged
applause. His amendment read as fol
lows:
"We pledge ourselves to submit to the
people of the United States an amend
ment to the constitution forbidding the
sale, manufacture, importation and ex
portation of intoxicating liquors."
Henry Allen, of Kansas, urged adop
tion of the plank which he said has
designed to “conserve humanity."
James R. Garfield differed with Allen,
not, as he said, because he did not be
lieve in prohibition, but because its
appearance in the platform would make
prohibition the main issue in the cam
paign and not be to the best Interests
of the party.
Takes Time.
“The liquor question,” he said, “is one
that must be solved by the slow tedious
process of education. This party should
not make prohibition an issue in this
campaign unless we are willing to for
get all other issues. It takes courage *o
postpone, but I hope this convention
will refuse a prohibition plank,” said
Garfield in conclusion. The applause
was vigorous.
Former Lieutenant Governor Wal
lace, of California, who spoke for the
amendment suggested that Roosevelt be
asked whether such a plank should be
inserted, but the delegates groaned dis
approve!. He pointed out the lessons of
the European war to show the ad
vantages of prohibition.
The vote tabling the resolution and
excluding the plank from the platform
was announced the convention whooped
Its approval. Afterward Chairman
Robins followed a suggestion that the
convention be given an opportunity to
express its sentiments on the question.
He asked all those who favored the
principle to rise and almost the entire
throng stood and cheered.
Chairman Robins said the latter
action of the delegates was a “splendid
testimonial” of belief in prohibition.

SEEMS COMPLETE
Military Observers Regard
Lutsk Triumph as Brilliant
Event—Austrians Were
Well Entrenched.
Fetrograd. June 12. (via London, 8:30
p. m.)-—Five days of furious offensive
by the forces of General Brussiloff has
has crumpled their opponent’s lines
from the Kovel-Sarny railway line to
[he Bukowina, driving them back an
average of 15 miles.
In the Lutsk section the Russians ap
pear to have completely broken
through, turning the left flank of the
Austrian armies and the right flank of
the German forces and capturing
Lutsk, the center of a number of radiat
ing roads and railways. At several
points the attacking Russians have
crossed the Ikwa and Styr rivers and
farther south they are approaching the
Stripa river.
The victories are attributed largely
to the avalanche of gun fire, which
Ewept away dozens of lines of entangle
ments and opened the way for the
troops, who swept through tn irresist
ible numbers. In some places the Rus
sian harrier cut off large Austrian units
which surrendered.
This accounts for the large number
of prisoners officially reported cap
tured.
The operations began in the vicinity
of Olyka, where skirmishing has been
frequently lately. Both sides appeared to
have been feeling for atfweek spot in
their opponent's line. The Russian ad
vance from this point, which is 25 miles
from Lutsk was accomplished in two
and one-half days.
During the long period of inactivity
the Austrians constructed strong forti
fications in this sestion. The topography
of the country also formed strong na
tural defenses.
Military observers regard the opera
tion as an extraordinarily brilliant
achievement and emphasize the able
leadership of General Brussiloff who
conducted the Carpathian campaign
and made a record for prisoners, guns
and munitions captured.

For Justice.
Chicago, June 10.—Now that Justice
Hughes tins been nominated by the re

Roosevelt by the bull moose, the su
preme question 19 whether Roosevelt

ment of his views that Roosevelt will

Other republican leaders will also
urge Roosevelt to support Hughes and
Oyster Bay will be the scene soon of
important conferences and it is gen

await a statement of Justice Hughes'

decline to run himself.
