New York, for vice president.
President Taft received 56l of the

tion.
When it became absolutely certain
early today that Mr.. Taft would be
nominated without great difficulty. the
leaders in control of the convention
decided to give him as running mate
his companion on the ticket in 1908.
Immediately upon the formal an
nouncement by Chairman Root of the
nomin alton of President Taft, the roll
call for nomination for vice president
was begun. Alabama yielded to New
York and J. Y. Allcott took the plat
form to renominate Vice President
Sherman. Allcott's speech did not
last three minutes and 1t was received
without enthusiasm. Harry Dougher-

All others dropped from the race
and Mr.. Sherman was the only csndi-
date regularly placed before the con-
vention. A motion from New Hamp-
shire to make the nomination by &C.

There were many scattering votes on
the roll call that ensued.
The name of Colonel Roosevelt was
not presented to the convention, which
Colonel Roosevelt in statement
said represented only successful fraud.
Neither was the name OF Albert B.
Cummins of Iowa, an avowed candi-

LEAD NEW PARTY
Colonel Roosevelt Accepts Commission rendered BY
Large Number of Progressives.

CHICAGO, June 22.-Former Presi.
dent Theodore Roosevelt was nomi.
mated tonight for president on an in.
dependent ticket in the dying hours
OF the republican national con.
vention in which he met defeat. The
followers of Colonel Roosevelt met
in Orchestra hall. less than q
mile from the Coliseum and pledged
their support to the former president.
In accepting the nomination, Colonel
Roosevelt appealed to the people of
ell sections, regardless of party aftilia-
tions, to stand with the founders Of
the new party, one OF whose cardinal
principles, he said, was to be "Thou
shalt not steal"
The informal nomin alton of Colonel
Roosevelt was said to be chiefly for
the purpose OF effecting temporary
organization. Beginning tomorrow,
when q call Is to be issued for q state
convention In Illinois, the work OF or.
ganiz zation will be pushed forward
rapidly, state by state.
At later time, probably early In
August, it ia intended to hold q ma
tional convention. Colonel Roosevelt,
In accepting the nomination, said be

would be willing to step aside II i,

when organized to select another
standard bearer.
Reports of % states composed the
notification committee which informed
Colonel Roosevelt of his nomin alton
and in sense stood as sponsors for
the movement.
The proceedings were we'll under
way when Colonel Roosevelt appeared
on the stage at the macs meeting. The
crowd went wild with enthusiasm.
Men flung their hats in the air and
women tossed their gloves and fans
about. Cheering was deafening and
it was some time before order was re-
stored.
When Roosevelt concluded his
speech, there was q wild rush for the
platform and q score of men scrambled
for the leaves of the colonel's manu-
script where he had dropped them
The cheers almost drowned out the
blare OF the band which valorously
continued to play "There'll Be Hot
Time in the Old Town Tonight"

was made until late In the day Of the

MAKING SLOW PROGRESS.
Third Day Of Republican Convention
Had No Spectacular Features.

Had No Spectacular Features.
CHICAGO, June 20.-Exactly four
minutes was the duration of the open.
ing session Of the third days session
of the republican national convention.
The immense crowd, nearly 14,000
persons, who had fought their way In.
to the hall after an hour or more In
line, had only to 60 out again.
The only business was the prayer
and the motion of Watson of Indiana
to be in recess untiltA p. m. The osten-
sible reason for the recess was the fact
hat the credentials committee at work
upon the contests affecting the person
mel of the convention, had only fairly
begun its work. Upon Resembling at
4 p. m. another adjournment was taken
until II q. m. tomorrow.

Prior to announcing the vote, Sen a.
tor Root said that Governor Hadley
had made points of order against any
of the 81 contested delegates voting
and that the chair had fully consider
ed the matter during the roll call. He
overruled all the points.
"No man." said Senator Root, "can
be permitted to vote on the question
of his own right to seat when it ia
questioned, but this does not disqual.
ify any delegate on the roll OF the con.
vention from voting on another mans
right to seat, or from participati
in any other regular business of the
convention.
"Otherwise any majority could OBJ
tain control Of deliber alive body
by grooping Q sufficient number O
their opponents In one motion to give
them control of the uncontested dele
gates."
Senator Root quoted the precedent,
of the national house of representa-
tives.
"If this contention were upheld" HI
said, ''enough seats could be contest
ed 80 that there would be no deleg ate
to do business.
Sena Root then put the motion o
Mr.. Watson that the standing com
mittees be appointed. It was adopted
without objection and the committee
were announced.

OF Colonel Roosevelt to lead the new
party born last Saturday. The pro.
gressive statement came from him at.
ter there had been some discussion Of
the possibility that . progressive

Dental nomination. Some of the
visitors st headquarters seemed to
think that II q recognized progressive
was nominated it might hamper the
Independent party.
"Will your position be Influenced by
any act of the Baltimore conventiouP"
Colonel Roosevelt was asked.
"It will not be-, he replied. II will
not depart from what said on Sat-
urday night. I will accept the pro-
gressive platform and will fight the
battle through to the end"
Governor johnson of California an
nounced the personnel OF the commit.
tee on organization, which for the
present at least will be the managing
committee of the new party. The list
was received with eagerness by poll
tici ians, both for and against the new
party as the first indication of the
men who are definitely aligned with
Colonel Roosevelt.
