BULL MOOSE NOMINATION
"AT THIS TIME.
AWAITS HUGHES STATEMENT
Suggests That Republican PresIder-
tiai Nominee Pledges Must Sat-
lsfy Third Party-Parker for
Vice President.

Chicago.-The Progressive national
convention, after four days tumult
with but one purpose in view, on June
10 nominated Col. Theodore Roosevelt
for president, and few hours later
listened without protest to a message
from Oyster Bay that he would not
accept at this time
Col Roosevelt's declination was
conditional and it was placed in the
hands of the Progressive national
committee to be held until such time
as statements to be made by Justice
Hughes, the nominee of the Republic
an party, shall satisfy the commit
tee that 1t is for the interest of the
country that he be elected
In the event the committee shall be
satisfied that aid should be given TO
the Republican party in its fight
against the party now in power, Col
Roosevelts refusal to make q cam
paign is to be considered final 1t
will then be authorized for the repre-
sentatives Of the Progressive party to
say whether to indorse the position
taken by Mr.. Roosevelt or whether
they will name another man to fight
for their party principles
Capt. John M. Parker of Louisiana
was nominated for vice president, the
selection being by acclamaticn
Col. Roosevelt's running mate of
four years ago, Gov. Hiram Johnson
of California, refused to let his name
be placed before the convention be-
cause Of the information he had con-
corning the intention of Col. Roosevelt
toward his nomination. Several other
names and notably that of Raymond
Robins. who was both temporary and
permanent chairman Of the convention,
were offered, but not seconded.
Prior to reading the message from
Oyster Bay some minutes were con-
su:ned In drawing from delegates and
party supporters the usual sinews Of
war in the form of voluntary financial
contributions.
All efforts of the Progressives to
unite with the Republicans failed when
the Republicans failed to consider
Col. Roosevelt's suggestion that Sen
ator Lodge be nominated. Conference
of the two parties held before the
colonels telegram was received failed
to make any Roadway.
The conference report was made to
the Progressives by Mr.. Perkins. He
recited to the Progressives meeting
with the Republican conferees. stat
ing that the Progressives were again
asked for their second choice candi-
date for president
He said the Progressives had pre-
scented a candidate and that the Re-
pubiicans had not, and that the same
arguments for Col. Roosevelt were ad-
vanced. He said the Republicans
asked that the Progressive convention
join in statement for Justice Hughes.
Mr.. Perkins said the Progressives
laid the situation before Roosevelt.
The colonel then replied, asking that
Senator Lodge be named.
