Turning from the lessons of his
tory the President took up the mat
ter Of deeper waterways, a move
ment which he favored especially
the proposed system of inner canals
along sea boards. He said the Ohio
river project will be worth all the
money it costs. OF the Panama

suggests delay in sending our bat
tleships through it year hence.

Straus, former secretary of COM
merce and labor in the cabinet Of
President Roosevelt. was unanimous
5ly acclaimed the nominee for gov
ernor of the Progressive party by q
stampeded convention this alter

Straus' nomination came about un-
der circumstances that were not only
unexpected but dramatic. The for

was about to entertain motion
from former Lieut.. Gov. Woodruff to
expedite the roll call on the names
of State Chairman William I'll.
Hotchkiss and Comptroller William
A. Prendegast Of New York, when a
delegate, Jack Magee, from New
York county, leaped to his chair and
demanded to be heard.
Chairman Straus looked with sur
prise on the man, who with fam

neck and his coat blazing with
badges, he shed his rough rider hat
on the floor and demanded the right
to make a nomination
WHO do you wish to nominate?'
asEed 5traus.
Nominates Straus.
"Suspender Jack" paused a mo-
ment and then cried II nominate the
illustrious and honorable Oscar S.
Straus.
Magee kept on with his speech
and the first few faint cheers from
half a dozen or more delegates grew
into pandemonium that swept the
convention hall. Standards were
wrenched from their support and
delegates yelling and cheering for
Chairman Straus paraded the aisles
turning the convention into a bed
lam.
Chairman Straus at first shook his
head at the growing ovation. He
turned to his friends and remarked
This must not be, cannot accept"
Hote hkiss lacing his hands on
Straus shoulders said You must
accept, you must accept, all the dele
gates are for YOU"
Then Iotchkiss burst from the
@roup that surrounded Straus and
held up before the crowd Of delegates
q scrap of yellow paper on which
was written "He accepts"
Second Demonstration
Quickly the word was passed back
through the hall and another dem.
onstration followed.
Hotchkiss was permitted to act as
chairman in place of Straus. The
nomination Of Hotchkiss for COVER.
