Rump Convention Nominates Roosevelt


The followers of Colonel Roosevelt
gathered in Orchestra hall, Chicago,
less than a mile from the Coliseum,
late Saturday night, and pledged their
support to the former president. In
accepting the nomination Colonel
Roosevelt appealed to the people of
all sections, regardless of party af-
fliations, to stand with the founders
of the new party, one of whose car
dinal principles, he said, was to be
"Thou shalt not steal.'
The informal nomination of Colonel
Roosevelt was said to be chiefly for
the purpose of affecting a temporary
organization.
At later time, probably early in
August, it is intended that a national
convention shall be held. Colonel
Roosevelt, in accepting the nomina
tion, said he did so with the under
standing that he would willingly step
aside if it should be the desire of the
new party, when organized, to select
another standard-bearer
Nominated by Prendergast.
A speech nominating Colonel Roose-
velt was made by Comptroller w. A.
Prendergast of New York, who was
to have presented the Colonel's name
to the convention. The Honorable
William Draper Lewis of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania law school, who
was to make one of the secOnding
speeches, delivered the address which
he had prepared for the Republican
convention.
Representative of twentyone states
composed the notification committee
which informed Colonel Roosevelt of
his nomination, and in sense stood
as sponsors for the movement. The
committee consisted of Comptroller w.
A. Prendergast of New York, Meyer
Lisener of California, former Con-
gresham Richard Pearson of North
Carolina, Frank Knox of Michigan,
Mathew Hale of Massachusetts, A. r.
Garford, Ohio; David Browning, Ken

REDUCES ACC|-
Dents TO Minimum

In the last three years and ten
months no passenger has been killed
through collision or derailment on the
Southern Pacific, according to the ac-
cident statistics of the interstate com
merce commission, recently made pub
lie. During this period the road car
ried l5O,000,000 passengers an aver
age distance of AZ miles. In the last
three years and four months but one
passenger was killed through derail-
ment or collision on the Union Pacific.
There were 27,900,000 passengers car
ried during that time.
Rail breakage has been reduced to
minimum by the introduction of the
standard rail- Steel cars are replac-
ing wooden cars over the entire Har-
riman system and automatic block
signals will soon be in operation over
every part of the lines. The inspec-
tion of the rails as they are manufac-
tured, originally inaugurated by the
Hartman lines. has had much to do
with the making of this safety record,
and several other roads in this coun-
try have recently started similar in
spection methods. There is one way
to reduce the fatality record on
American railroads and that is to pass
laws that will prevent trespassing on
the rights ofway. F'ifty-three per
cent of the people killed on our rail-
roads annually lose their lives be-
cause of trespassing. A large ma
jority OF those killed are hoboes and
others, stealing rides.
The problm of reducing the number
of railway accidents requires the CO.
operation of both the officials of the
companies and Of the people. 1t has
been one of the real big problems of
railroad operating for years and ev-
cry line in the country looks forward
to the time when a death on railroad
because of derailment or collision will
be unheard Of

liberty and property and all other

of the absolute independence of the
judiciary essential to the maintenance
of these rights. The campaign carried
on to seize the Republican party and
make it the instrument of reckless
ambition and the unsettling of the
fundamental principles of our gov
ernment was so sudden and unexpected
that time was not given clearly to
show to the people and the party the
