ROOSEVELT AND
JOHNSON NAMED.

Chicago, Aug. 7.-Singing Coward
Christian Soldiers" and the Battle
Hymn of the Republic" the delegates of
the first national convention of the new
progressive party tonight proclaimed
Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, their
candidate for president and Governor
Hiram w. johnson, of California, their
candidate for vice president. The two
candidates Immediately were notified
of their nominations and amid deafen-
ing cheers, appeared before the delegates
to voice their acceptance and pledge
their best efforts in the coming campaign.
For several hours late this afternoon
the throng in the Coliseum sat listening
to flow of oratory in the nominating
and seconding speeches, in which the
dominant note expressed was a belief in
victory to come to the new party in No
vember. The party formally christened
itself "The Progressive Party" leaving
off the prefix National by which it
has been heretofore known. The con.
vention adjourned at 7:30 tonight, the
delegates singing the "Doxology." The
delegates asked no formalities in placing
the candidates in nomination or in vot-
ing for them. There was not voice in
opposition to either Roosevelt or John
son, the only semblance of conflict of
opinion on the floor was in brief de-
bate today as to whether an hours re-
cess should be taken. As one delegate
expressed it Eve just had to fight about
something to make regular conven.
tion." Roosevelt worked with the SUBJ
committee in charge of the platform un-
til late this afternoon. The platform did
not touch the negro question.

gregate IL months, within which to es-
tablish his residence. II is not meant
thereby that because, for the reasons
stated, residence may not be commenc-
ed within the six months period, that
the settler is authorized to delay the
commencement of residence beyond the
required period and after the cause no
longer exists. 1t is not thought neces-
sary to require an application in ad-
vance in order to entitle the settler to
this additional privilege, but the full cir
cumstances will be open to investigation
and consideration upon contest.
Absence Permitted.
After the establishment of residence
the entryman is permitted to be absent
from the land for one continuous period
of not more than five months in each
year following, provided that upon alb
senting himself for such 5eriod he has
filed in the local land Office notice Of
the beginning of such intended abb
sence. He must also file notice with
the local land Office upon his return to
the land following such period of alb
sence.
In according such extended periods
of absence the Congress has dealt liber-
ally with the homestead entryman, and
bona fde continuous residence during
the remaining portions of the three year
period must be clearly shown.
A second period of absence immedi-
ately following the first period, even
though the two periods occur in differ
ent years, reckoned from the date of the
establishment of actual residence will
not be recognized, as it was never con-
templated that an absence was permis-
sible in excess of six months in view of
the specific provisions for contest pro-
vided for in Section 2l97 of the Revised
Statutes. There should be at least some
substantial period of actual continuous
residence upon the land separating the
periods of absence accorded under the
Statute. Only those protracted absen-
ces with respect to which notice has
been given as required by the Statute
will be respected either in case of con-
test or on final proof This law does
not repeal or modify the acts of March

1910, (36 Stat, s64), and April 3Oth, 1912,
