ance of Theodore Roosevelt Oa the platform of the national Progressive convention shortly after noon today was the occasion of one of the Wild est demonstrations ever witnessed at an American political gathering. Thn colonel stepped on the platform al l2:4j. but it was fully 40 minutes later when he began his widely ad- Vcrtised speech, the din being such that he was unable to begin until the crowd become exhausted from shout ing.
 Roosevelt began his address by likening the two old parties to corn husks, with the corn extracted. In general appearance they seemed sol id enough, but investigation has shown that they lack souls, and dare not face the fact that the country is now in the midst of a great eco- homie revolution, which will dis rupt the republic unless steps are taken immediately to remedy the evils which now exist.
 He declared that the American people and not the courts are the ones who should determine the fun damental policies of the nation. and some means should be devised for getting rid of incompetent judges. when it becomes apparent that they are unfit for the offices they hold. He came out strongly for mini mum wage scale, based on the exist ing cost of living. and declared i against the crooked business meth ods which have operated against the working classes.
 He would put women on an equal footing with men throughout the | nation insofar as the ballot is con- cerned, and urged that steps be talk en immediately to this end. Referring to Alaska, Roosevelt said the government has the oppor- tunity of starting, in what is almost q fresh field. to work out the vari, ous problems by actual experiment l The government should at once start ,the construction of railways in Alas, ka, and both the railroads and the | telegraph lines should be owned and operated by the government. He | would keep fee of all coal lands and allow them to be operated by lessces, conditionary upon their con stant operation. He said a system of land taxation should be tried which would promote the actual use of the land and discourage the holding of large tracts for specula tion.

 Judge Lindsay. of the juvenile court of Denver, is talked of as the probable choice for permanent chair man. Judge Lindsay recently was offered the nomination of the Pro hibtion party, but declined.

 Thirty-eight states are fully rep resented. The other eight may yet send delegates before the convention gets into full swing. In addition to those present, more delegates are arriving on every incoming train Senator Dixon, on assuming the chair. said: This convention is to be notably a deliberative body. and Is certainly composed of a class of men altogether different from those who usually attend party conventions men of the United States who without regard to past differences. who, through repeated betrayals. re allZe that today the power of the crooked political bosses and of the Privileged classes behind them is so strong in the two old party orean- zations that no help in the real in terests of our country can come out of either.

himself. This question has taken equal rank in importance with the speech of Roosevelt. and is even more generally discussed. both in the convention and throughout the city.
 It is thought the platform will be ready for presentation to the con vention early tomorrow The com mittee is now hard at work elimin- ating useless paragraphs, and tone ing down others to conform to the suggestions of the party leaders, who pronounced the original draft altogether to radical. Alice Carpen- ter a Massachusetts delegate, has been named as member of the platform committee.
 Roosevelt. nominee of the Progress sive Republicans of the United States for president to succeed William Howard Taft. is the verdict rendered by the convention now in session.
 Roosevelt was the only name pre- sented; his nomination followed by exclamation amidst thunderous ap- plause.
 Roosevelt was placed in nomina- tion by w. A. Pendergast, of New York who opened his nominating speech by saying: My candidate" then continuing. said. lis more than T citizen of the United States he is national asset No man in Amer- can life today has such credentials. Aiy candidate is man the most courageous in the history of Ameri- can politics"
 The rules committee reported in favor of changing the name of the party to the Progressive Party eliminating national, and that the basis of representation at the next national convention be fixed at one delegate for every 10000 votes. It also introduced resolution that pro- videS that no federal officeholder can serve as a committeeman.
 Roosevelt will return to his home It Oyster Bay tomorrow and begin campaigning in few days.
 The first business to be acted upon, after prayer by the chaplain, was the reading of the report of the committee on credentials This re port was made by unanimous vote of the committee. recommended the unSeating of the whole of the Florida dele"ation composed entirely of ne groes. and also the throwing out of negro members of the Mississippi delegation.
 The convention without dissent ing vote adopted the report as read.
 A resolution was also presented md adopted without discussion that this convention recognize the con stitutional right of every state in the union to determine the qualifi- cations of every elector, and the manner of choosing and electing their delegates.
 Colonel Roosevelt, in supporting the action of the committee and the convention as whole of barring the negro delegates from the Southern states, said that it was the stifling of advanced conditions that had led to crushing disaster. and was now threatening the death of the great Republican party itself He said that unpleasant situations at times arose to confront those in leadership of the party These must, under no consideration. be passed to one side. but must be manfully met if disastrous consequences were to be avoided.

dishonest methods, no matter by whom instigated, the political bosses and their agents at the late Chicago convention had treated political theft as a legitimate weapon, with the result that the party was now oil the verge of dissolution.
 CHICAGO, Aug. S. Governor Hiram w. Johnson, of California, as chosen as the candidate of the Pro- gressive Republican party for vice president The nomination was made by acclamation no one else seemingly being desirous of leading a forlorn hope in the political bat tie to be fought out next November
 After the nominations had been made. both of the candidates nom- mated were officially notified of their being made the first standard bearers of the Progressive party. Both appearing, voiced their accep- tance of the great honor conferred.
 Colonel Roosevelt, speaking, de- clared that the latest honor that had just been rendered him was the greatest that had ever been offered him during his life, and wan one that he appreciated to it's full extent. Speaking of his associate on the ticket, just nominated, he said that Governor Johnson was the only type of q man that ought ever be named for the yice-presidency. Continuing, he said Governor Johnson, now gov elnor of one of the greatest states of the union, was at that moment m n hp the nrnSi1ant nf the United States
 Governor Johnson, on voicing his acceptance. said: "Enlisting, as we have. in a contest now beginning, is not one for offices on our part, but a contest for humanity; such one as desired governmentally to make all men better citizens, rather than make men richer. In such a cause accept the call of this convention, and would rather go down to defeat with Colonel Roosevelt than go to victory by the side of any other presidential candidate"
 The platform as adopted, where it lffects Alaska, says: The resources of Alaska should be opened at once; that they should be neither sold or given away, except under home stead demands; that all monopoly of transportation in Alaska should be prevented by the government ac Guisition of railroads and harbor facilities, and further, that Alaska was entitled to have and should have the same measure of self-gov ernment as all other American terri tories had ever been given"
