Although green hands were suppos-
ed to be at the helm of the machinery
Of the convention worked smoothly
and efficiently. There was no roll call
Of delegates, but the delegate section
Of the floor arranged in the same man
ner as at the Republican national
convention a few weeks ago..
A radical department from the &C.
cepted basis Of representation in ma
tional conventions was adopted at a
meeting of the committee on rules,
with the approval of Colonel Roose-
welt. 1t is planned that in future ma.
tional conventions instead of seating
a delegate from each congressional
district and one for each United States
senator, there shall be one delegate
from each district and an additional
delegate for each 10000 votes cast
in the previous election for the ma
ton Progressive ticket.
The plan is designated to present
the existence within the new party Of
conditions such as have obtained with
in the old parties, whereby sections
Of the country in which the parties
have little or no strength are repre-
sented in the convention on the same
basis as the strong Republican or
Democratic states.
Colonel Roosevelt contends that the
Republican delegates from Southern
states, in which the party has only
q nominal existence, were used in the
national convention last June to de-
feat the wishes Of the party in the
strong Republican states as expressed
at the primaries.
After a prolonged debate in which
considerable bitterness was displayed
the credentials committee finally vot-
ed to throw out both the white and
black %contesting delegations from
Florida. The two delegations will go
back to Florida and separate conven.
lions will be held to fight the question
out.

SAASN0S A0 A46t LOS DIT
ty national convention closed with
the nomination Of Theodore Roose.
welt of New York as their candidate
for president, and Governor Hiram
w. johnson of California as their
choice for vice-president.
As has always been the case in ma.
tional political conventions, the bulk
Of the work of the Progressive gather
ing was carried on in the committees.
The only semblance of a conflict of
opinion on the floor was a brief debate
yesterday as to whether or not 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
it a regular convention"
There vas sharp discussion, how.
ever, in several Of the committee meet
ings and nc little difficulty in agreeing
upon the platform as finally adopted.
Colonel Roosevelt worked with the
subcommittee in charge of the plat
form, going over their work and Wig
orously helping to mould the draft
which at last proved acceptable to
him. The platform did not take I'D
the negro question.
In this connection, one of the inter-
esting seconding speeches of the day
was that of F. r. Gleed of New York,
a negro. Gleed declared that the
negroes had faith in the new party,
faith that it would do all in it's power
to right the wrongs of the race.
I'VE stand by the PLATFORM" he
said; I'VE stand by Colonel R%oosevelt's
letter; we stand by his speech. And
as we stood by him at San Juan Hill,
10 we will stand by you in November
and fight for victory"
Marking a departure in the pro.
ceedings Of national conventions, the
two candidates Immediately were in
formally notified of their nomination
and in the midst of deafening cheers
appeared before the delegates to voice
their acceptance and pledge their best
effort to the coming campaign.
For several long hours during the
afternoon and early evening the big
throng in the Coliseum had listened to
a flow of oratory in nominating and
seconding speeches in which the domi-
nant note expressed was the belief
that victory would come to the new
party in the November elections.
Raymond Robbins Of Illinois pledged
. 100000 majority for the national
ticket in Illinois and Clifford Pinchot
predicted a 100000 majority for Col
onel Roosevelt and Governor johnson
IN his home state Of Pennsylvania.
These statements were cheered to
the echo.
The party formally christened itself
THE Progressive party" leaving out
the prefix national" by which it here
tofore was known, but provision was
made for the cognition Of real" Pro-
gressives in any of the states of what
ever name they should be locally
designated because of the state laws.
The convention adjourned at 1924
p. m. with the delegates singing the
Doxology.
During the three days it was in ses-
sion there was not a single roll call,
nor a ballot taken. The delegates
asked no such formalities either in
placing their candidates in nomination
or in voting for them. There was not
a voice in opposition either to Colonel
Roosevelt or Governor Johnson. The
delay in nominating them was due to
