ROOSEVELT MEETING

Chicago, June 24.-Former Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt was nominal
ed for president on an Independent
ticket, in the dying hours of the Re-
publican national convention in which
he had met defeat.
The followers of Colonel Roosevelt
gathered in Orchestra hall, less than
a mile from the Coliseum and pledged
their support to the former president.
In accepting the nomination Colonel
Roosevelt appealed to the people of
all sections, regardless of party affilia-
tions, to stand with the founders of
the new party, one of whose cardinal
principles, he said, was to be Thou
shalt not steal"
The informal nomination of Colonel
Roosevelt was said to be chiefly for
the purpose of effecting temporary
organization.
Beginning with call to be issued
| for a state convention in Illinois, the
work of organization will be pushed
| forward rapidly, state by state. At a
later time, probably early in August, it
is intended that national convention
| shall be held. Colonel Roosevelt, in
accepting the nomination, said he did
so on the understanding that he would
willingly step aside if it should be the
desire of the new party, when organ
lied, to select another standard bear
er.
Prendergast Makes Speech.
The speech nominating Colonel
Roosevelt was made by Comptroller
William HI. Prendergast of New York,
who was to have presented the colo
nePs name to the convention.
