Chicago.-Former President Roose.
welt was nominated for president on
an independent ticket Saturday night
in the dying hours of the Republican
national convention.
The followers of Colonel Roosevelt
gathered in Orchestra hall, less than
a mile from the Coliseum, and pledged
their support to the former president.
In accepting the nomination Colonel
Roosevelt appealed to the people of
all sections, regardless of party affil.
iations, to stand with the founders of
the new party, one of whose cardinal
principals, 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. A call is to be issued
for state convention in Illinois; the
work Of organization will be pushed
forward rapidly, state by state.
At later time. probably early in
August, it is intended that national
convention shall be held. Colonel
Roosevelt, in accepting the nominal
ton, 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.

There were two exciting features of
the long session, which began at 10
in the morning and continued till
nearly midnight.
Two hours before the nomination of
Taft the personal boom of Theodore
Roosevelt gave it's last expiring gasp,
in a twenty-five-minute demonstration.
The second incident was near riot

cipitated by Chairman Root
When the delegates from the Goldfish
state, their minds made up to have no
hand in the matter, refused to vote
when their names were called, Root
ordered that the names of the alter
mates be called.
This caused near riot in the Mas
sachusetts delegation, but presently
they squieted down and voted. They
lost four votes, but they gained one
