Chicago.-Former President Theo-
lore Roosevelt was nominated for

Saturday night, in the dying hours of
the Republican National convention
in which he had met defeat.
The followers OF Col. Roosevelt gath
cred in Orchestra hall, less than
mile from the Coliseum, and pledged
their support to the former President.
In accepting the nomination Col.
Roosevelt appealed to the people Of all
sections, regardless Of party affiliar
tions, to stand with the founders of the
new party, one of whose cardinal prin-
ciples, he said, was to be, "Thou shalt
not steal"
"Thou Shalt Not Steal" to Be Slogan.
The informal nomination of Col.
Roosevelt was said to be chiefly for
the purpose of effecting temporary
organization. Beginning Immediately
the work of organization will be
pushed forward rapidly, state by state.
Col. Roosevelt in accepting the NOM
ination told the delegates that he did
so on condition that they would return
to their homes. find out fully the senti-
ment and wishes Of the people they
represented, and that they would
again assemble. at some other city,
and hold national convention, when,
he said, he would step aside did tho
new party decide to declare for an
other standard bearer.
It was said that in all probability
the convention Of the new party would
be held In Denver. Scores Of tele-
grams poured in on the Roosevelt lead
ers urging Denver for the meeting
place, and it was the universal senti-
ment among the delegates that that
city would get the first convention OF
the new party.

was made by Comptroller w. A. Prem
dergast of New York, who was to have
pressed the coloners name to the bolt
ed convention.

MORGAN A REAL MONEY KING
Continued from Page IL


II was brought our that Morgan
liked the price at which subsidiary
companies should go into the organ
lzation. The witness stated that the
finance committee of the Steel Cor
poration always selected the banks
where the funds of the corporation
We're deposited.
Much OF the questioning was in re-
gard to the Dropriety of interstate
public service corporations having
tehir securities tied up with one
firm instead of being on the open
market. Mr.. Morgan declared that
he believed that the former course
was advisable.
Mr. Untermeyer then wanted to
know how there could be any con-
neetion between the New York, New
Haven q Hartford railroad and J. p.
Morgan q Company in the sale of
the New Haven securities. Morgan
did not answer directly. but said that
the position of the banking house
often had much to do with the sta
bility of securities: and then admit
ted. under hard questioning, that he
never knew of any banking house to
lose because of bad securities.
Morgan said that in some instances
ten by syndicates formed by his firm,
and that the personnel OF the syn
dicates were always made up from
the same list of names. He admit
ted that such syndIcates We're profit
able to all who participated in them.
The witness admitted that not
many banks in New York were al
lowed to participate in the under
writing of securities
Morgan stated that the securities
marketed by his firm in one year
amounted to $1,000. 100000.
Morgan told the committee that
his son. not himself, was n director
in the National City Bank.
Untermeyer insisted that Morgan
was a stockholder in this bank.
"Oh. not much of a one" he an
swered. only about million dol
lars worth"
The witness seemed surprised at
the laugh which greeted his answer.
Untermeyer wanted TO know II
Morgan was not large stockholder
in the National Bank of Commerce.
