 Governor Johnson received his cus- tcmary ovation when he stepped upon the stage to second Colonel Parker S nomination.
 "Once I had the honor and glory of making the fight with you." Governor Johnson began. 'In this peculiar situ- ation,' he continued. 'it is proper that a man from the southern states should be the running mate of our leader
 Governor Johnson said Colonel Par ket should be accorded the slight honor" of the nomination of vice pres ident.
 Now in these last hours of the con- vention," he said. we'll fight should CT to shoulder a good fight. We've gone far in the hope and trust that we might render assistance to our fellow men We've fought not in vain; and now we find every candidate is or claims to be a progressive There has been real achievement for our nation.
 "Whether we continue to fight (and I promise you it will be continued In our western states) we have missed no opportunity
 PARKER IS CHEERED Governor Johnson moved that Col. onel Parker's nomination be made unanimous. Chairman Robins sur- rendered the gave Ito James R. Gar field to second Parker Mr. Garfield put the question The motion was carried with a tre- mendous ovation and not a dissenting voice. Delegates brought flags and banners to the stage while the crowd stood and cheered. The demonstration lasted about minute.
 Governor Johnson and Henry Allen were appointed to escort Colonel Par ker to the platform. where he was given three cheers. Colonel Parker thanked the convention for the nom ination.

 William Flynn of Pennsylvania pre- sented resolution empowering the national committee to fill any vacan- cies on the ticket.
 Chairman Robins said it was a for nal motion to enable the convention to take care of anything that may befall from death or other casual ties" The motion was adopted
 "Every moment am feeling better said Victor Murdock. q understand we beat the other fellows at the Coliseum about 30 seconds. If you fellows will work as hard as you shout we'll beat them in November. They have started at the Coliseum what they think is a band wagon. but if any of this crowd tries to get aboard they'll find it an ice wagon"
 MT Murdock said he always got the worst of it' in treating with the re- publicans
 The only way to have forced the republican nomination of Theodore Roosevelt was to have done 1t early.'' he continued. But you didn't do it. You appointed conference committee invariably happens when a progres, sive meets a republican politician"

 Turning to the press boxes on the stage, MT. Murdock looked dramatically for w. J. Bryan. who was sitting there MT. Bryan smiled.
 MT. Bryan Is a straightforward pa cifist," said MT. Murdock. He is going to have a militarist plank cammed down his throat at St. Louis and he won't stand it.''
 MT. Bryan smiled again and when MT Murdock said he expected a new peace and prohibition party headed by MT. Bryan and Henry Ford, the former secretary laughed heartily.
 MT. Bryan has stood by his convic- tions," continued MT. Murdock, and the convention yelled approval
 MT. Murdock said with a four-cor- nered fight-Wilson and Marshall and that tribute to the arctic circles, Hughes and Fairbanks" with Bryan and Ford behind peace and prohibi- tion," and the progressives with Roosevelt and Parker" for American ism, peace and preparedness, the coun- try would see most remarkable cam paign.
 Secretary Davis then presented a resolution appointing the usual com mittees to notify the nominees.
 Chairman Robins then called for a "convention campaign contribution" Delegate Lewis Emory of Pennsylva- mia led with contribution of $10,000. Mrs. John Bird announced a similar gift. The New Jersey delegation pledged $20,OO0.
 Clifford Pinchot pledged $500O and Charles G. Bird of New Jersey also pledged the same amount. William Flynn gave another $5000 as did Will liam Decker of Montgomery, O.; H. H. Timpkin of Ohio, Irving R. Kirkwood of Missouri and others
 George w. Perkins said he wished to express his thanks to the delegates for cooperation in the convention work.
 'T wish with all my heart that the result might have been different he said. but there were few places where we could have changed our methods to advantage in the end"
 Chairman Robins read the message from Colonel Roosevelt regarding his nomination. The delegates loudly cheered.
 MT. Robins carefully emphasized the colonels statement that he could not accept lat this time'
 In profound and tense calm the brief message was quickly read. The proposal to have the national committee decide the questions involved met bitter silence.
 At the conclusion there was applause, but of no great duration.
 James R. Garfield moved that the con- vention accept Colonel Roosevelt's pro- posals. and refer them to the national committee with power to act.
 Chairman Robins hurriedly put the ques-

ton. A substantial vote of ayes fol- lowed in a faint scattering of "noes.' In the confusion that followed, as the dele gates began to leave their seats and rush for the exits, the motion adopted at 4:58 to adjourn was muffled in a noisy tur- moil.
 Excitedly discussing the dramatic denouement of the tumultuous political battle and it's possible effects on political history, particularly of the progressive party, the delegates departed with the last words of Colonel Roosevelt and stir ring patriotic airs by the band blended in their ears.
