Has Given Up the Fight Against His
Own Nomination.
THE PLAN OF PROCEDURE.
When Connecticut is Reached on the
Ro, Call Dolliver's Name is to be
Withdrawn and Roosevelt Nonl-
mated = Massachusetts, TO
Withdraw Long and Sec
ond the Nomination.

PHILADELPHIA, June Ex-senator
Hanna tonight authorized the following
| statement:
."rhe administration has had no candi-
| date for Vice-President. 1t has not been
for or against any candidate. 1t mas
deemed that the convention should make
the candidate and that has been my posi-
| ton throughout -, ~,
| strong. earnest sentiment of the delegates
from al, parts of the country for Governor
roosevelt. and since President Mckinney
IS to be nominated without dissenting
voice, it is my judgment that Governor
Roosevelt should be nominated for wee
| President with the same unanimlty.
This announcement OF Senator Hanna
was made after d long consultation Win
many leaders of the party.
The programme is to have Iowa with
draw Dolliver and nominate Roosevelt.
! Massachusetts, will withdraw Long and
second the nomination.. The other candl-
date; will follow suit. This will enable
the convention to finish its business ana
adjourn tomorrow.
Immediately following Mr.. Hanna's an
rouncement OF the withdrawal of all the
other candidates and the nomination OF
C.overno,. Roosevelt for Vice-President by
accIamation, MI. Dolliver authQrl2ed the
following statement:
MY candidacy has been wholly unso-
licited / have not up to this moment,
spoker one word seeking the nomination,
to even a member of my own delegation:
,To-night Mr.. Long Mr.. Scott and myself
nlaced our candidates. in Mr.. Hanna
hands, to dispose of as he saw NJ. II WAS
agreed that our names Wouid ~ no. NC ~ ~.
santca to the convention, ana, upon my
| " f,t m
request, Mr.. Late Yonns, ol NY 80 in
ton. will place Mr.. RooseVeits name III
nomination in behalf of the nation:
at 1,a1;ave#;tl,esss he name OF Governor
Roosevelt will give more strength and en-
thusiasm than the name OF any othef Hldii
in America.
| Theodore Roosevelt probably will be notili-
mated for yice-President by acclamauoh,
The plan is simple, and the result sought
can easily be brought about. Ihere VIII DC
no necessity for a roll call tomorrow.
When the time arrives for nominating d
yice-President the roll OF states VIII pe
called. and when Connecticut is reached
some delegate will arise ana "itllplz."
polliver and place Roosevelt IN nofililla-
tjon Massachusetts will follow, Withdraw
inv Long and seconding the nomination OF
tho New York man. This is the plan, ana
If II is done there will be 10 need OF a
ballot.
The convention did not proceed 10 ilolllA-
nations to-day because all parties inter-
ested could not be reached secretary
Longs friends had not been able to com
n1rnicate with him, and they did not Zee!
authorized to withdraw him until he
could be informed of the situation and his
consent obtained. Ii is quite probable that
had it been possible to gain Secretary
Longs consent both nominations would
have been made to-day.
;p,,+ in this cOntinG Gency LnSEc ID
little doubt now of the nomination OF Roose-
welt. There are two men who might pre-.
vent his nomination, but it is doubtful II
even they could stem the tide They are
William Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt
The latter possibly cou.d do 50 by making
an absolute declaration that ne would not
| accent the nomination if made, but now It
is doubtful if even that kind of a declara-
ton would stop the stampede II there
