Mr. Bryan could have had the chair

Judge Parker has been a regular
Democrat, has supported Mr.. Bryan

So many contests were filed that the

Mrs. Randolph Hopkins, of New York,

The Harmon crowd of press agents

accessions, and it is evident that the
last hing lacking in the Harmon cam
paign is money. The expenses of all
the other headquarters put together
would not equal those of the Harmon
headquarters and it is almost impossi-
BILE to make progress through the lob
bies without being accosted by an
earnest Harmon worker who is on the
salary roll.
Full of enthusiasm for their leader,
whom they characterized as the chief
asset of the Democratic party" the
moving spirits of the Underwood ma,
tional campaign committee opened
headquarters in the st. James Hotel.
Headed by Senator Bankhead OF
Alabama, the Underwood supporters
declared that he was in the field for
first place or none and would not be
sidetracked on the Vice-Presidential
switch.

SELECTS 4 COMMANDMENT TO REPRESENT HIS PLATFORM

Chicago.-The third party is here.
An hour after William Howard TAFT
had been renominated by the Republi-
can national convention, Theodore
Roosevelt was the nominee of the Ma
tional Progressives, assembled IN Or
chestra Hall.
A little later he had accepted the
nomination and had asked those VINO
assisted in launching the new move
ment to convene again in six weeks
and ratify their Endorsement OF MS
candidacy.
The fight was on
1t was Roosevelt's answer.
Never was a new political party
formed under such dramatic circum-
stances. The California delegation
was the first to arrive.
They marched to the platform while
everybody yelled.
Assembled in Orchestra Hall were
the delegates who had been Instructed
to come to tie Republican national
convention and nominate Roosevelt.
With them were the contestants
whose cases had been thrown out by
the National Committee.
They were determined, enthusiastic
and they were fanked by great gath
ering ofRoosevelt supporters-a shout
ing, cheering, singing, screaming, de-
FAINT crowd that could say but one
thing: 1--WE want Teddy"
1t was a simple ceremony, but mast
significant when viewed in its relation
to the country's affairs.
A resolution was passed nominating
Roosevelt. He spoke in reply accept
ing it.
The proceedings were marked by
wild enthusiasm.
The party was born. Governor Had
ley, of Missouri; Governor Deneen, OF
Illinois; Senator William E. Borah, OF
Idaho, and Senator William Bristow,
of Kansas, were conspicuous for their
absence, but the crowd cared nothing.
The people in the hall-men and wo-
men alike-felt they were able to
make the fight themselves and they
were content. And when the nominal
ing resolution had passed and Colonel
Roosevelt had taken the platform it
seemed as if human strength and hui
man voices could do no more.
A speech nominating Colonel Roose-
welt was made by Comptroller William

at is fitting that a convention born
in theft, should go out in theft, be-
cause l understand when half of the
Massachusetts delegation refused to
vote the temporary chairman, follow
ing in the footsteps of the National
Committee, saw an opportunity to get
two delegates that had not been got,
and seized so that stolen convention
should end appropriately"
The Colonel expressed his gratifica-
ton to the delegates who stood by
him. He told them to go home, find
out the sentiment of their people and
then meet in mass convention to
nominate for the Presidency a pro-
gressive candidate on progressive
platform, candidate on progressive
that will enable us to appeal to the
Northerner and Southerner, Fastener
and Westerner, Republican and Demo-
crat alike, in the name of our common
American citizenship"

he said.
I'VE place Colonel Roosevelt In
nomination to-night-we, the people Vi
the United States, the sovereign vot'
ers of this land, will elect him in Nov
ember," Mr.. Prendergast concluded.
Representative oftwenty-two States
composed the notification committee
which informed Colonel Roosevelt OF
his nomination, and in a sense STOOD
as sponsor for the movement. Inc
committee consisted of Comptroller
w. A. Prendergast, of New YORK;
Meyer Lissner, of California; Former

Colonel Roosevelt was escorted to
the hall by this committee, accom-
panied by Senator Dixon and Governor
Stubs. of Kansas. AS the Colonel en-
tered the hall there was a storm OF
applause. The people leaped to their
feet with a shout, and for five minutes
there was pandemonium. Col. Roose-
welt mounted the platform and waved
his hands, smiling with delight at the
reception. Whmen he said he would
accept the nomination there was an
other frenzied demonstration.

welt, "you and the honestly elected
delegates, and you, my friends, con
trast this with the Coliseum conven-
ton this afternoon. Mark the differ.
ence between a peoples convention
and a convention operated with a
