Chicago. Aug. s.-Theodore Roose-
welt, presidential nominee of the new
progressive party. and the active
managers of the progressive campaign
remained in Chicago today, although
most of the delegates to the third
party's first national convention had
started for their homes.
The members of the notification
committee appointed by the various
state delegations also remained in the
city, together with the members of
the progressive national committee.
The notification committee men,
hers met Colonel Roosevelt and Gov
ernor Johnson. the progressive vice
presidential nominee. at a reception
arranged in their honor. The noti-
f1cation ceremonies actually took
place last evening at the Coliseum
when the two heads of the ticket ap-
peared before the cheering throngs
at the national convention to accept
the recently made nominations.
The members of the national COM
mittee planned to hold an important
meeting today although they had
Senator Dixon was selected AS chair
man and O. K. Davis of Washington
was named secretary. Mr.. Davis, who
was in charge Of the progressive pub
lfcity during the preconvention cam
paisn. was general secretary Of the
national convention.
Colonel Roosevelt, who repeatedly
expressed his satisfaction at the out
come of the convention, left for New
York AZ 2:30 O'Clock this afternoon.
He will rest at Oyster Bay until the
beginning of the campaign, when he
will tour all of the western states
and make speeches for the new cause
in the western states, while Governor
johnson does the same thing in the
eastern states.
The prosressives launched their
active campaign plans with vim.
Some of tho state delegations to the
convention did not wait until they
had retur ed to their homes to begin
the work of organization in their
state. The Wisconsin and other dele
cations met Immediately after the
adjournment of the convention and
selected a state chairman and state
secretary and a state executive COM
mittee. In several cases the leaders
telegraphed orders before departing
from Chicago for the beginning of
the active campaign work.
The spirit and enthusiasm generat-
ed during the last three days at the
various meetings and conferences
held today and everywhere We're
heard expressions of confidence IN
the outlook for the new party.

THE R0TAR|ANS
TALK OF MONEY
Principal Feature Of Session
was Address of Former
Congressman Bonynge.

Duluth, Aug. S.-"International was
written into the name of the rotary
clubs here today. Formerly it was
only implied. c. e. Fletcher Of Win
nipeg brought about the change in a
forceful address.
1t was said today that Glen c. Mead
of Philadelphia Is leading in the race
for the presidency of the order.
Former Congressman Robert w.
Bonynge of Colorado, who was a
member Of the national monetary
commission, delivered an address on
monetary conditions in the United
States saying in part:
There is a popular impression that
the chief function Of banks is to re-
ceive and loan out money. Generally
speaking people do not seem to COM
prehend the fact that the greatest
service rendered by the banking insti-
tutions to the commercial interests is
in buying and selling credit. About
ninety-five per cent of the entire busi-
ness of the country is carried on
through credits furnished by the
banks 1t is bank credit, then fur
nished by means of loans and deposits
subject to check thereon, through
products of the soil and the factory
daily take place. If banking credit
should be suddenly withdrawn the
business in the country would come to
an immediate stop and ruination and
bankruptcy would be the inevitable
result
1t is for this reason that the whole
public are concerned in the subject of
the reform of our banking and cur
rency laws, and in seeing that reason
able instruments are placed in the
hands of the banks to enable them to
serve their customers and the public
generally at all times.
Experience has demonstrated that
our present system is wholly made
quate to the business needs Of the pub
lie. Under any usual strain it col
lapses. At a time when the banks of
the country should come to the aid of
it's legitimate business they are COM
PEELED by the laws under which they
do business temporarily to abdicate
their functions and wait until the fl
nancial storm blows over"
Mr.. Bonynge quoted from the re-
vision of the banking and currency
laws advocated by the national none
tary commission.

BOTH CANDIDATES
ARE NOTIFIED
Accept Nomination and Will
Lead the Party in Ag-
gressive Campaign.

Chicago, Aug s.-singing Coward
Chrostian Soldiers and the Battle
Hymn of the Republic" the delegates
TO the first national convention of the
new progressive party last night pro-
claimed Theodore Roosevelt of New
and Governor Hiram w. johnson of
California as their choice for vice
president.
Marking a new departure in the
proceedings of national conventions.
the two candidates Immediately were
informally notified of their nomination
and in midst of deafening cheers APP
peared before the delegates to voice
their acceptance and to pledge their
best efforts 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
dominant note expressed was the be-
lief that victory would come to the
new party in the November elections.
Raymond Robbins of Illinois. pledged
A 100000 majority for the national
ticket in Illinois. and Clifford Pinchot
predicted 100000 majority for Col.
Roosevelt and Gov. johnson in his
home state of Pennsylvania.
These statements We're chcered to
the echo.

dates In nomination or in voting for
them There was not voice of op-
position either to Col. Roosevelt or

on the floor was brief debate today
as to whether or not an hours recess
should be taken. The point was not

something to make it a regular con-
vention."
Sharp Discussions.
There was a sharp discussion, how
ever in several of the committee
meetings and no little difficulty in
agreeing upon the platform as finally
adopted. Col. Roosevelt worked with
the subcommittee in charge of the
platform yesterday afternoon, go
ing over their work of the two previ-
Gus days and nights, and vigorously
helping to mould the draft which at
last proved acceptable to him. The
platform did not take up the negro
question.
