The nomination of Hughes came af-

as compromise candidate.
The action of the ProgressiveS in
tabling the suggestion Of their leader
was read before the Republican dele

recorded in the proceedings Of the
convention.
Roosevelt in telegram to the Pro
gressive convention received in the
morning suggested the name of Sena-
tor Lodge as a compromise candidate
upon whom both Progressives and Re-
publicans could unite.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that at about five
he was notified by the Progressive
conferees that they had come to no
conclusion with the Republican con-
ferees and that the Republican con-
ferees had again asked for any sug-
gestion Of name as candidate from
the Progressive conferees.

conferees stating that he deeply ap-

statement Of the Progressive national
committee in January and the state

February. it was their duty to present

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

He stated that Mr.. Lodge had been
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 IL a. m, June Z.
Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio
was elected temporary chairman, and
he delivered speech setting forth
conservative Republican principles.
Following this the regular committees

Chicago, June 12.-Theodore Roose-

in the Progressive national conven-
ton Saturday, has declined the nomi-
nation conditiona1ly.
Both Progressive and Republican
leaders in touch with Oyster Bay seem
satisfied that Roosevelt will stand

by the Republican nominee They be-
lieve Col Roosevelt is definitely out
of the Moose party, leaving it leader
less, as far as he is concerned, for this
campaign at least, and that he will be

The CoIonePs Answer.
Roosevelt's reply to the nomination

you confer upon me by nominating
me as president. / cannot accept it
at this time I do not know the at

Shortly after midnight it was an
nounced that no progress had been
made toward fusion of the two parties.

Routine business followed-but It
wasn't routine in the same way as the
Republican session was. The Progress
sfves, with such men as William Allen
White, Victor Murdoch and Hiram
Johnson, were loudly enthusiastic.
This convention was really an explo-
sive affair cheers, table pounding,
radical talk and all that.
It is said that George W. Perkins
and some others Of the Progressive
group had a hard time keeping the
radical element from nominating
Colonel Roosevelt shortly after the
show started. The conservatives lived
in the hope of a fusion with the Re-
publicans. The radicals said they
didn't care what the Republicans did.
They wanted Teddy" and they want

Chicago.-Charles r. Hughes Of
New York and Charles Warren Fair
banks of Indiana are the nominees
Of the Republican party according to
the verdict of the delegates in con-
vention assembled In this city on Sat
urday. Hughes was named on the
third ballot and the voting was halted
to make the nomination unanimous be-
fore half Of the states had been polled.
Fairbanks was selected as the rum
ming mate on the first ballot. His
name was placed in nomination by
John Wanamaker of Philadelphia.
Almost at the same time Theodore
Roosevelt was unanimously named as
the Progressive candidate for presi-
dent at the Bull Moose" convention
a few blocks away. For two days
George w. Perkins and other Progress
sive leaders held the delegates in
check, hoping that compromise can
didate might be agreed upon by the
two parties, but they would no longer
be stayed when 1t was seen that the
nomination of Hughes was to be Of
fected by the Republicans. John M.
Parker of Louisiana was named as the
candidate for vice president.
The naming of the associate Justice
Of the Supreme court of the United
States was the signal for a wild out
burst of cheering in the Coliseum

are affected by the count of ballots
which began today to decide whether
these workmen would strike.
The reading public is familiar with
a discussion which has been going on
Tor several months between the rail-
roads and the employees. 1t has
reached that formidable proportions
where the workmen are voting on the
question of strike.

present. 1t is the most vital move

We do not propose to discuss the
merits of either side of the case. We
must confess our ignorance as to the
motives and reasons advanced by en-
ploye and railroad alike.
But the American people do not
want strike on the railroads of such
nationwide proportion. There is a
way to settle this difference, and il
will be settled before strike begins
Or very shortly afterwards.
No happening in our commercial life
could have such a deadening and de-
moralizing effect, and with questions
vital to the life of America already ex-

RIGHT OR WRONG.

1t is our pleasure to quote from
prominent men throughout the state
and nation on important questions, but
every now and then it is not. Sena-
tor Yardaman, of Mississippi, is a
character well known in public life,
but having some characteristics and
ideas which all people do not like.
In the debate, in the senate Satur-
day on the armed merchant ship ques
ton, Senator Vardaman arose to quote
the following lines from an English
author:
4 pity from my soul the unhappy man
Compelled by want to prostitute his
pen,
Who must, like politicians, either
strive or plead
And follow, right or wrong, where the
guineas lead"
There is more truth than poetry, in
the language of these by-words.

A sad sight, indeed it is to see so
many children on our streets weak
peevish, delicate and ailing, with
spindling little legs and>arms and
often so cross that parents can do
nothing with them, all because they
lack vitality. Our local druggists

every such child to try Vinol, their

to overcome such conditions 1t con-
