The platform did not tako up tho tiegro question. 'In this connection one of the inter esting seconding speeches of the day was that of F. R. Gleed of New York, a negro.

Kindly Words for Johnson. "I have a peculiar feeling toward Governor Johnson. Nearly two years ago. after tho elections of 1910. whun what I had striven to accomplish in New York hnd como to nothing, and when, my friends, tho enemy, exulted possibly prematurely over what had befallen me. Governor Johnson, In the flush of hlo own triumph just won out, wrote mo a letter which I shall hand on to my children und children's children, bccniiso of whnt the letter contained, and becauee of the man who wrote It, a letter of trust nnd be lief, a letter of ardent championship from the soldier who was at thnt mo ment victorious: victorious towards his comrade who had been struck down. In Goernor Johnson wo have n mnn whoso every word In made good by tho deeds that he has done, tho man who. as tho head of a great state, has practically applied In that state for the benefit of the people of that state tho principles which we Intend to ap ply throughout the union as n whole.

I havo como hero merely to thank you from the bottom of my heart for tho honor you have con ferred upon me nnd to say that I ap preciate It exactly as I know you meant It. For the greatest chance, the greatest gift that can bo given to any man Is the opportunity, ir he has the stuff In him, to do something that counts In the Interests of tho common good."

"Enlisting ns I have In that contest for humanity that desired government ally to make men better rather than to make them richer, there Is no ques tion, of course, but that of necessity I must accept any place where I may be drafted, and that I accept such a place as you havo accorded me in tho nation's history today, because again you are making history in this lnnd; that I accept It with grateful heart and with the utmost singleness of pur pose, to carry out as well as I may the little that may be my part to do." Platform Loudly Cheered. A round of npplauso greeted tho reading of tho direct primary, initia tive, referendum nnd recall planks. The woman suffrage plunk was roundly cheered. Jury trials In contempt of court cases and a restriction In the issuance of Injunctions In labor dis putes recommended In tho platform wero received by tho convention with enthusiasm. ' Tho prohibition of child labor and tho fixing of a minimum wage scale for women, which formed another plank, wero given a hand. General applause greeted the "In dustrial commission plank," with rec ommendation to control Interstate bus iness corporations modeled after the Interstate commerco commission. Lewis concluded the platform at 5:30 and a demonstration was begun. But Senator 'Beverldge cut it short, and the platform was adopted without a dissenting voice. Governor Carey of Wyoming moved to suspend the rules and declaro Theodore Roosevelt tho nominee of the convention for presi dent. "Does the chair hear a second by two states?" demanded Boverldgo, and n roar swept the hall. "If It did not take so long I would name all the states as seconding tho motion," said Oeverldge. "Thoso in favor of tho motion will answer 'aye'." From the floor there arose a rolling roar of "aye." A dull silence greeted the ca'll for "noes." "The ayes seem to have It," began Beverldge, and a cheer interrupted htm. ' Roosevelt by Acclamation. "Tho ayes havo it," he concluded when he could bo heard, "And Theo dora Roosevelt Is declared the nominee of this convention." Oevoridge halted an Incipient demon stration, nnd John M.

Chairman Oovorldge then ptit the movement of Judge LJndsey to nom inate Johnson by acclamation. The motion Was granted with a roar of ayes. "As permanent chairman of this con vention," declared Beverldge, "I here by declare Theodore Roosevelt of New York to be candidate of this conven tion for president. andHlrasa Y. John son of California for vice-president of the United States." neverldge ordered tho notification committee to bring in the candidates. As Colonel Roosevelt nnd Governor Johnson took their places, sldo by side on the platform, a demonstration broke loose. The delegates leaped to tholr chairs nnd cheered for Colonel Roosevelt until ho waved hln hand to tho crowd, but Johnson stood evident ly Just n trifle 111 at ease. Tho demonstration lasted some ten THEODORE minutes and when order was restored Boverldgo Introduced Hocaevolt us the "next president." Johnson Likewise Willing. When tho checrB that greeted Roose velt's speech subsided, Beverldgo in troduced Johnson. "It Is with the greatest solemnity," ho began, "that I come to tell you that I enlisted for tho war." A cheer interrupted him. Ho pledged himself to aid Roosevelt "in the fight for tho common good," and concluded: "I would rather go down to dofeat with Theodora Roosevelt than to vic tory with any other presidential can didate."

Roosevelt to Lose No Time In Getting Into Fight. Chicago. Colonel Roosevelt said that he would go direct to Oyster Bay, and will remain there for a few days before beginning his campaign. His first engagement is to speak In Rhode Island noxt Friday. Tho following day he will address a mass meeting or New England progressives at Point of Pines, near Brookllne. On August 22 he will attend the Jubilee of Father Curran or Wllkesbarro, Pa., who is known for his work among tho coal miners. On August 20 tho colonel will go to Vermont. After a few dnys at home he will go to St. Paul to speak at the Minnesota state fair on September 6, and will then return to take the stump in Connecticut. On his return from Connecticut, Colonel Roosevolt will begin his long trip. Ho will probnbly depart early In October on a month's trip which will take him to the Pacific coast states and back through the south. It is the colonel's intention to go into at least forty states, and he said that with only about sixty working days for his cam paign, he would be able to make only one speech in most states. He said he will speak only In the larger cities OF noth corrupt old pnrty machines tiro under tho domination of tho plunder league of professional politicians. The fundamental concern or the In terests Is to beat tho new party. The dlffpionco between Taft nnd Wilson Is n mere mutter of personal preference. Wo must devlso methods by which ROOSEVELT. our government shall become really representative. We do not impugn tho courts, but emancipate them from standing In the wuy or social justice. Tho peoplo must keep In tholr own hands the right of Interpreting tholr own con stitution when their public servants differ regarding the interpretation. ' Theso propositions aro neither an archy nor socialism, but a corrective to socialism and an antidote to an archy. Our first charge Is to prevent hu man waste; eliminate the dead weight of orphanage, depleted craftsmanship, crippled workers nnd workers suffer ing from trade diseases, of casual labor and insecure old age. Wage scales in all industries should bo filed as public documents and min imum wage commissions should be es tablished in tho states and nation. We stand for a living wage and hold that In the continuous industries eight hours should bo the maximum of labor. ' Tho premature employment of chil dren Is abnormal and should be pro hibited. So also should the employ ment of women where they have to stand continually. Working women have the same need to combine for protection as working men; the ballot is as necessary for one class as for the other. The government must co-operate with tho farmer to make tho farm more productive. Our aim is to control business, not to strangle It. The anti-trust law should be kept and strengthened and a national in dustrial commission should bo created. The day of the log rolling tariff must end through the creation of a permanent commission of non-partisan experts. Tho high cost of living will bo solved through the creation or an In terstato industrial commission to reg ulate the big corporations. The issue or currency is fundament ally a government function and the system should have as its basic prin ciple soundness and elasticity. Alaska should be developed at once In the interest of the actual settler. I hopo wo shall win, but, win or lose, wo shall not faltor and the move ment will never stop. OFFICERS OF THE CONVENTION.

GOVERNOR WILSON ACCEPTS IT WILLING TO BEAR BURDEN AND PRAYS FOR STRENGTH. Ollle James of Kentucky Tenders No. tlflcatlon Appeals to the People. Seagirt, N. J. Governor Woodrow Wilson Wednesday unfolded the fabric of his political beliefs in a speech for mally accepting tho democratic nom ination to the presidency.

Governor Wilson was notified of his nomination by Sonator-elect Ollle James of Kentucky, who emphasized as ho said, that tho governor had ob tained tho honor untrammoled by ob ligations and unembarrassed by felici tations of any kind. Though tho gov ernor spoke In acceptance to tho fifty two members of tho committee, tho speech sounding his political philos ophy was heard by a great throng. The governor read from his manu script. The platform, he said, was not a program, but a practical docu ment Intended to show "that we know what the nation is thinking about and what It is most concerned about." Appeal to Trust of People. The people, he added, wero about to be asked not particularly to adopt a platform, but to entrust the demo cratic party with "office and power and guidance of their affairs," and their desire now was to know what "translation of action and policy ha Intends to give the general terms of the nlatfona. should he be elected."
