Ventlon TO pc heid propaply at Chicaqo
during first week in August, was made
at succession of conferences be-
tween Col. Roosevelt and the commit
tee of seven authorized at meeting
Of delegates in the Florentne room in
the Congress hotel.
In the call for mass convention II is
to be made plain, say members of the
committee, that the movement is to
be broadly non-partisan. The doors
are to be swung wide open and sup
port invited from men like La Toilette,
Bryan and Wilson. The nomination,
the Roosevelt leaders say, is free to
any candidate favored by the progress
sive sentiment of the nation, and Col.
Roosevelt again reiterated his state
ment that he will gladly step aside and
support another candidate If the con-
vention decides that the fight can be
made more strongly under other lead
ership.
