when carrying out the spirit of the
statement of the Progressive national
committee in January and the state
ment made by him in Trinidad in
February, it was their duty to present
an alternative name on which he
hoped the Republicans and Progress
sives could unite. He presented the
name of Henry Cabot Lodge. He
quoted the three paragraphs of his
telegram to w. B. Jackson Of Mary
land.
He stated that Mr.. Lodge had been
a member of the lower house of con-
gress and of the senate of the United
States for thirty years; that he was a
man of the highest integrity, great far
sightedness, and Of wide vision as to
national needs, and qualified in every
way for the high Office of president.
The Republican convention opened
at the Coliseum at II a. m, June Z.
Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio
was elected temporary chairman, and
he delivered q speech setting forth
conservative Republican principles
Following this the regular committees

The action of the Progressives in

was read before the Republican dele

recorded in the proceedings of the
convention.
Roosevelt in a telegram to the Pro-
gressive convention received in the
morning suggested the name of Sena-

Mr. Roosevelt said that at about five

Oyster Bay N. Y.-When Col.
Roosevelt summoned the newspaper
correspondents 70 Sycamore Hill to
tell them he had tentatively refused
the Progressive nomination for the
presidency, he had nothing to add to
what he had said in his telegram to,
the convention at Chicago in regard 10
his present position.
He told something, however, of the
steps which led up to his message
suggestion that Progressives and Re
publicans united upon Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge as compromise candi-
date. One Republican and two Pro-
gressive conferees on the joint con-
ference committee called him over the
long distance telephone to explain the
situation as it then stood
No Comment to Make.
Col. Roosevelt informed them at
that time he declared that he intend
ed to suggest the joint nomination of
Senator Lodge All three conferees,
he said, seemed at that time to be
agreed that such step would be sat
isfactory He declined to name the
Republican member Of the committee
other than to say that he had been a
supporter of Justice Hughes.
Col. Roosevelt sent lls telegram Of
refusal to the Progressives before he
had read Justices Hughes statement.
Later when asked if he had any COM
ment to make on the Hughes state
ment he replied:
"Not a word; not word about any
thing
Col. Roosevelt said he probably
would have no further statement to
make until after the Progressive ma
tional committee gets together to de-
termine what attitude it will assume
in regard to Justice Hughes candidacy
or learns something further In regard
to the Republican nominees position
on the questions Col. Roosevelt con-
siders the most important now before
the country.

correspondents Col. Roosevelt was ask
