"We, delegates and alternates to
the republican national convention,
representing a clear majority of the
voters Of the republican party of the
nation and representing a clear ma
jority Of the delegates and alternates
legally elected to the convention, in

I'VE were delegated by a major

Denied Justice for Five Days.
For five days we have been denied
justice in the national convention.
This result has been accomplished by
the action of the now defunct nation
al committee in placing upon the
preliminary roll of the convention
and thereby seating upon the floor Of
the convention a sufficient number
of fraudulently elected delegates to
control the proceedings of the con-
vention. These fraudulent dele
gates, once seated, have by concert
ed action with one another put them
selves upon the permanent roll, where
they constitute an Influence sufficient
to control the convention and defeat
the will of the party as expressed at
the primaries.
1--WE have exhausted every known
means to head off this conspiracy and
prevent this fraud upon the popu'ar
will but without success. We were
sent to this convention bearing the
most specific instructions to place
Theodore Roosevelt in nomination as
the candidate of our party for pres

NATIONAL PROGRESSIVE PARTY, IS BORN AND
COLONEL ROOSEVELT IS TEMPORARY LEADER

Chicago, June 24.-Fulfilling what
they believed to be the will of the
majorities that elected them, the
Roosevelt delegates who are adherlng
to the colonel's attitude of non-par-
ticipation in the republican national
convention, met Saturday night at
Orchestra hall and there voted Theo-
dore Roosevelt their choice for the
presidency.
Because not all of the states of the
union were represented in the meet
ing it was not a convention" in the
strict sense of that word. 1t was
merely an expression of steadfast ad-
herence to candidate whom they
believed had been forced out of the
race in the republican convention by
the seating of illegal delegates. Any
way, the meeting was preliminary to
what may later develop into con-
vention of Colonel Roosevelts new
progressive party
The meeting was held while the
crowds at the Coliseum were cheering
publican national convention of Will
liam Howard Taft and James School
craft Sherman.
Governor Johnson, California; 8
fighting governor, presided at the
Roosevelt meeting. The colonel him
self was there and addressed the con-
ferees
Resolutions were adopted declar-
ing that the legally elected republi-
can Roosevelt DELEGATES had strug-
gled vainly to accomplish their mis-
sion of electing the ex-president in
the regular convention, had failed
through trickery and therefore nom
mated him tse the candidate of our
party"
Enthusiasm Is Manifest.
The same brand of enthusiasm that
has swept the Coliseum during the
past few days was manifest at Or
chestra hall and the colonel in fight
ing trip was plainly pleased with the
reception his supporters accorded
him.
At 1880 the meeting was called
to order by Governor Johnson of
California. Among those on the plat
Jersey, Frank Munsey of New York,
Ex-Governor Fort of New Jersey, Sem

Governor Johnson said:
1.-THE delegates here were q

gates to the republican national con-
vention and We came here to dc
what we were instructed to do, but
what We were prevented from doing
by fraud and force.

But what it has done and what it
has provided for the future offer ma
terial for very serious consideration.
The old national committee chosen by
the politicians four years ago, made
up a temporary roll including some
80 fraudulent delegates who had not
been elected by the people and there
by they controlled the majority of the
convention. This fraudulent tempor-
airy roll call in turn chose a fraudu-
lent credentials committee, and all the
fraudulent delegates voting on one
another's cases, thereby made up the
permanent roll which constituted the
fraudulent convention. Then this
fraudulent convention chooses a new
and not less fraudulent national
committee.
Now, gentlemen, there are those
who ask us to stay in the party which
has just fraudulently nominated for
the presidency a man who inspired
and profited by the frauds. They ask
us to submit to infamy in the present
on the ground that perhaps we may
be able to prevent such infamy in the
future. They seem to forget that the
vicious circle has been completed and
that this fraudulent convention has
provided in its fraudulently chosen

States, and we call upon him to ac-
cept such nomination in compliance
with the will OF the party voters.
"And be It further resolved, that
a committee be appointed by the
chair to forthwith notify Colonel
Roosevelt of the action here taken
and hequest him to appear before us
in this hall as soon as convenient"
Comptroller william Pendergast of
New York spoke regarding the reso-
lutlons. He said the nomination of
Taft was brought about "by manlpu-
lation by men who have no place in
decent society,"" He described Sem
ator Penrose, leaning over Senator
Root and giving him directions as TO
what "the people down stairs wanted
done"
"ThOu Shalt Not Steal.
He said the slogan of the coming
convention would be "Thou shalt not
steal"

Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Longworth
were in a box and seemed to enjoy

broadly. Colonel Roosevelt began:

proceedings of the Coliseum"

convention of the people and a con-
vention of a steam roller"
Continuing, he said:
