what must have been the spirit of the

delegates, and as many OF the people
here as could get into the hall, which
seats about three thousand. The men
who made up the audience were In
dead earnest. They were there for
purpose.

fervor of a religious meeting.
Men from Tennessee and from Mas
sachusetts, and from California and
from Maine stood with tears in their
eyes as they sang.
Within twenty-four hours a call Is
to be made for an Illinois convention
of Roosevelt supporters. at which a
state organization will be formed.
Medill Mccormick OF Chicago said
calls In other states would be issued
in rapid succession and that within
few weeks the Progressive party
would be organized in every section
OF the country.
The method OF operation In the varl.
Gus states is still TO be decided upon.
In some cases the Republican candi.

with the exception of President and
Vice President, will be indorsed, with
the idea of preserving the state Repub
lican organizations which are in sym
pathy with the Roosevelt movement
