For several hours during the after
noon the throng in the Coliseum had
listened to flow OF oratory in nomi-
mating and seconding speeches. in
which the dominant note expressed
was the belief that victory would
come to the new party IN November.
Raymond Robbins of Illinois pledged
a 100000 majority for the national
ticket in Illinois, and Clifford Pinchot
predicted 100000 majority for Col.
Roosevelt and Gov. johnson in his
home state of Pennsylvania. These
statements were cheercd to the echo.
The party formally christened itself
"The Progressive Party" leaving out
the prefix National by which 1t has
was made for the recognition of "'reai''
Progressives in any of the states by
whatever name they should be locally
designated because of state laws.
The convention adjourned with the
delegates singing the "Doxology" IN
lusty voice. During the three days it
was in session there was not a roll
call nor a ballot. The delegates asked
no such formalities, either in placing
their candidates in nomination or in
voting for them.
There was not voice of opposition
either to Col. Roosevelt or Gov. John
son. The delay in nominating them
was due to the large number of Sec
onding speeches allowed.

As has always been the case in ma
tional political conventions. the bulk
of the work of the Progressive gath
ering was carried on in the commit
tees. The only semblance of n con-
flict of opinion on the floor was a
brief debate rs to whether an hours
recess should be taken. The point
was not material, but as one delegate
expressed it, I'VE just had to fight
about something to make a regular
convention"
There was sharp discussion in sew
eral committee meetings and no little
difficulty in agreeing upon the plat
form as finally adopted.
Colonel Roosevelt worked with the
subcommittee in charge of the plat
form until late Wednesday afternoon,
going over their work of the two pre-
vious days and nights and vigorously
helping to mould the draft which at
last proved acceptable to him. The
platform did not take up the negro
question.
