THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
On motion of James r. Garfield,
Col. Roosevelt's letter was formally
approved by the convention.
Convention Stunned.
Auditorium Hall. Chicago, June
10.-Theodore Roosevelt was nomi-
mated to-day by the Progressive Ma
tional convention after four days of
uproar and tumult in which the del
egates never wayered in allegiance
or cast a passing glance upon anoth-
er man.
Three minutes before the conven-
tion adjourned until another time,
Chairman Raymond Robins read to
them a brief message from Oyster
Bay, in which Mr.. Roosevelt declin-
ed to accept the nomination at this
time. Few of the thousands in the
vast auditorium, some of whom had
seen the Colonel named in an even
wilder burst of enthusiasm four
years ago, realize when Robins rap
ped his gavel at 4:5S and declared
the convention adjourned sine die,
that in a few hours or q few weeks
they might be party without the
one leader to whom they had come
to Chicago to give the pledge of 10y
atty and faith.
The significance of Mr.. Roosevelt's
message with its announcement
that IL the Progressive National
Committee found the subsequent
statements of Charles Evans Hughes,
the Republican standard bearer, to
its liking, his non-acceptance of the
Progressive nomination should stand
as his last word. was lost in that
tired throng. worn out by its own
cuthuoidsh' Wy iohS uSi"sS o'Si
peace parleys with the Republicans
and by the discussion of platform,
on which it must go into the field,
If at all. against both the forces of
Democracy and Republicanism.
None of the feeling that some of
them later betrayed when they had
had opportunity to digest the Colo
nel's statement had time to fare out
when the gavel fell. They trooped
out into Chicago's streets for home
while the band played family and
the flags that had Haunted so proud
ly through all the stormy session
were folded and the banners put
away.

$4,000 umbrellas, $4,000 pairs of
rubbers and 1880 raincoats. most
of which were bought by visitors to
the conventions.
