preciated their loyalty to him and
their efforts to get him nominated, but
that he thought the time had come
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, 1t 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
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 speech setting forth
conservative Republican principles
Following this the regular committees
were appointed and organized and rou-
tine convention business went for
ward. There was only moderate ex.
preston of enthusiasm at any time.
With the hope Of agreeing an presi-
dental candidate whom both parties
might support, the Progressives, In
convention at the Auditorium. and the
Republicans appointed a joint confer.

The nomination Of Hughes came af-
ter the Republicans turned down the
proposal OF Col Theodore Roosevelt
that United States Senator Henry Ca

as compromise candidate.
Tho action of the Progressives in
tabling the suggestion of their leader
was read before the Republican dele
gates and Chairman Harding an
nounced that the message would be
recorded in the proceedings of the
convention.
Roosevelt In telegram to the Pro-
gressive convention received in the
morning suggested the name of Sena-

upon whom both Progressiyes 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 had again asked for any sug-

day in a preparedness parade ar.
ranged to emphasize the national
capitals demand for an adequate
army and navy. When the reviewing
stand was reached the President left
tire line and went into the stand and
Watched the marchers sweep by.
Beginning at the peace manument
near the capitol building the line of
march passed the postoffice and treas
uly department buildings and then
lcached the white house, where the
reviewing stand draped with Ameri-
can flags had been erected.
The President, attired in white
trousers, blue coat and straw hat, and
shouldering his flag like musket,
stepped briskly to martial airs played
by the United States marine band. He
smiled broadly and frequently raised
his hat in response to cheers as he
marched along between two district
citizens escorted by Secretary Tu
multy, the White House employees and
the White House newspaper corps.
Washington was brilliantly decor
rated for the occasion. 1t was holi-
day, for, under an executive order,
ioc, oil
ment employees were excused from
work and many stores were closed.
President Wilson decided to set a
precedent by walking on foot during
the entire length of the parade
Former Presidents Roosevelt and
Taft also had been invited but found
it impossible to participate, and Chas.
Il. Hughes was in New York.
Men and. women in almost equal
numbers marched, each civilian con-
tlngent wearing some uniform cos
tune.
1t was nearly 2: 80 o'clock when the
last of the paraders passed the
White House. Then President Wilson
vent to the Washington monument
grounds to deliver his address on
America First" In his address he
said: =.
Il have not come here this after
noon with the purpose of delivering
to you any elaborate address. 1t

ciently eloquent already with the
meaning which it should convey 10
