May Name Democrat.

OYSTER BAY, July 31-A move
ment is on foot within the national
progressive party to name Democrat
from the south as Colonel Roosevelt 8
running mate. Roosevelt said today if
an available man can be agreed upon.
The colonel said leaders of the new
party had made this suggestion and
that he favored the plan. He added
that such selection would emphasize
the nonsectional character of the move
ment.
The statements by Colonel Roosevelt
and Senator Dixon Yesterday that John
NJ Parker of New Orleans probably
would be permanent chairman of the
national progressive convention were
erroneous, the colonel said. In discuss
ing the matter he said they overlooked
the fact that Mr.. Parker was to make
one of the speeches seeonding his nom
ination. and theret ore could not serve
as permanent chairman. Another
southern Democrat probably will be
chosen.
