1'HE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 11. 1916. 7 A NAME ROOSEYELT BY ACCLAMATION Moose Convention Proceeds to Act as Soon at 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 wny 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 of Ohio, without telling the delegates that Hughes had been nairied at the Coliseum, asked for a recess to 3 p. m., after singing one verse of "Amer ica." "No, no," yelled 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 igain 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 i.ic desire of the party was almost i. .nimously for their 1912 standard i oarers Colonel Theodore Roose- o!t of New York and Governor Hi lar.i Johnson of California. Governor Johnson declared after re cess 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 oartv intends to do. I am very post live in my conviction that they should not be held in suspense in tms criti cal time." After usinsr his eravel vainly for sev eral minutes. Chairman Robins finally secured order and James R. Garfield offered a motion to recess until J o'clock and that the entire assem blage join in singing "America." Chairman Robins said that im oortant 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 thin. 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 of a great democracy at 3 o'clock and we will lay the lines of the great ;st battle ever fought in the republic and in November the progressives will not be the second party, it will be ihc first party. Chairman Robins called (or "Amer- ca" and the crowd filed out cheering uid shouting, wild with enthusiasm. Convention Reassembles. When the progressive reassem jled shortly after 3 o'clock the lead ers and delegates were mucn excited by inquiries regarding Justices Hughes' action. The hall hummed with excitement and expectations of a message from Ovster Bay. Reports that Colonel Roosevelt had merely laken the nomination under advise ment caused some resentful discussion among some of the delegates. The stage was crowded with inv nromptu conferences before the open ing gavel dropped. The pre-session scenes of enthusiasm including "Teddv 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 presentea to v-nairniau Rnhins hv the Michisfan delegation, Chairman Robins announced there is an erroneous reDort made of the morning proceedings. He said at the republican convention and in the mess it was reoorted the progressive convention had laid upon the table ihe etter of Colonel Roosevelt. The record was corrected to show that Roosevelt's morning telegram ,.ac nut tabled bv the orogrcssive convention, but only by the report of progressive peace conierees. The convention then proceeded to vice president nomination, calling the rolls of states. California, Gov ernor Johnson's home state, was nassed teniDorarily. When Indiana was called, some one shouted hanks" and the crowd tittered. The first candidate presented was Chairman Raymond Robins of Chi caeo bv 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, Iowa, Arizona, Ohio and many other states z-secended Colonel Parker's nomina tion. The name of. Gove.or Johnson of California 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 convention for its tribute to Louisiana's favorite son. Governor Johnson received 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 rieHlv cleared. At 10:43 Chairman Robins began pounding his gavel. There was a show of haste to priceea to nominations hefore the republican convention should convene at Ii o'clock. Ahnut one-third of the delegates svere absent when the opening gavel iianired. "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- "Fair- ROOSEVELT NOMINATED BY ACCLAMATION BY BULL MOOSERS Former preaident named by the Progresaive Party convention at aame time that Hughe ia named by the Republican convention. 5 v i sfl .

Mr. l'erkins 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. Roosevelt Telegram Read. A long telegram received this morn ing from Colonel Roosevelt to the progressive conferees was then read by Secretary Davis, who said a copy had been sent to the republican conferees. Colonel Roosevelt recited how the republicans had asked for a second choice selection from the progres sives. "For months I have thought of this matter. Colonel Roosevelt said, de claring it was imperative to sink "all UUIIUI uiiici cults uu icaiu a ii'iii- mon ground if possible. He recited THEODORE RQOSEVELT. tion should proceed deliberately and in order and said the first business was a report from the conference committee. 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. Wat you waitr ne asicea. "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 00 just wnat we came ro ni cago to do." Chairman KoDins asKea tnat wnen the nominating speeches are made the convention reserve its long ap 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 nomination unanimous without a roll call. This suggestion met with ioud 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 and that the republicans had not and c lOMFORT, Security and Service tire elements most I desired poodyear Cord I Tires give you in utmost measure.

I Discussing the telegram from tolo l nel Knosevelt. Mr. l'erkins said in working for peace agreement he had been much criticised. "1 may have done well or poorly in this, hut I have certainly tried to do right." he said. The convention evidenced its ap proval of Mr. Perkins' action with a prolonged burst of cheers. Mr. Perkin said: "In common honor of fairnes we cannot vote and place Mr. Roosevelt in nomination at least until his communication is submitted to the other convention." "1 do not know what the other con vention will do," he said. "But Col onel Roosevelt's communication to the other convention should not be prejudiced by any action we take here." Mr. Perkins argued earnestly to defer action until the republican con vention receives its peace commit tee's report and the Roosevelt tele gram, "Right, right," shouted several dele gates. My a viva voce vote, with only one dissent, the platform was then adopted. Chairman Robins then recognized Chairman O'Connell of the Xew York state delegation to move to suspend the rules and proceed to nominations.
