TO THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
CONVENTIONS:
Your committee appointed pursuant
to the resolution adopted at yester-
days session met III conference with
a committee representing the national
Progressive convention last evening.
That the Progressive committee of
conference consisted of Messrs. Per-
kins, of New York; johnson, of Cali
fornia Bonaparte, OF Maryland; Will
kinson, of New York, and Parker, of
Louisiana. The conference was frank,
free and mostly. friendly. The con-
ferees were of one mind in believing
that the good of the country and per
! haps its repute and influence for years
to come depend upon the complete
defeat of the present Democratic ad-
ministration and the restoration of the
control of the legislative and executive
branches of the government to the
hands of those who firmly believe in
and will execute the policies that are
so heartily supported by the Repub-
lican and the Progressive parties alike.
The Progressive conferees were
unanimous in urging with temperate
ness and fairness the opinion that
Theodore Roosevelt. of New York, had
so large a personal following and such
a close personal relation to the issues
of the coming campaign as to make
him the most desirable candidate upon
which to unite.
1t was agreed that your conferees
would report these facts to this con-
vention. Respectfully submitted,

CONVENTION.

TO THE PROGRESSIVE NATIONAL
CONVENTION:
Your committee appointed pursuant
to the resolution adopted at yester-
days session met in conference with
the committee representing the ma
tional Republican convention last
evening. The committee of confer
ence representing the Republican ma
tional convention consisted of Messrs.
Reed Smoot, w. Murray Crane, Will
liam f. Borah, Nicholas Murray But
Ter and A. r. Johnson.
The conference was most friendly.
Immediately upon assembly your COM
mittee proposed as the joint nominee
of both conventions the name of Theo-
dore Roosevelt. The committee repre-
senting the Republican national con-
vention did not present the name of
any candidate, nor did it attempt to
refute our arguments relating to the
unique availability oG Theodore Roose-
welt as candidate TO unite both par
ties or to serve our common country
at this crucial period in the history of
the world.
After several hours of friendly dis
cussion, during which no concrete
proposition was advanced by the Re-
publican conferees, except that a fur
ther conference might be desirable this
afternoon or evening, the joint COM
mittee adjourned.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 9.-When
one invadcs the field OF prophcsy
he must be prepared for every
evcntuality. Several times this
week the hourly developments
have promised the fulhllment of
my prediction that actual reunion
OF the Republican factions in the
National arena would be accom-
phshed here under the inspiration
of Colonel Roosevelt Radicals
in both camps have cndeavored
To discourage peace negotiations
and all manner of resistance to
these overtures has developed.
Meanwhile the conservatives on
all sides have steadily pressed
forward toward the main objective
which is so absolutely necessary
to Republican success this year.
Without substantial union of
the two wings of the party it is
admitted that the campaign is
scarcely worth the waging. Twice
this week when peace upon the
surface seemed remote we have
ventured the prophecy that the
convention would end in harmony
and with the Colonel leading the
reunited host. 1t doesn't follow
that he will be the chosen stand
bearer, but the fact remains that
the Progressives will not return
to the fold without his guidance.
With the appointment of con-
ference committees late yesterday
afternoon the first concrete ac-
ton in the get together" move
ment was taken.
OF course the Progressive con-
ferees will do their utmost to have
the Republican section of the
committee accept Roosevelt as the
most available and popular
choice. Should they fail in this ii
will then be the big undertaking
of the Republican conferees to
persuade their Progressive asso-
ciates to recede from this posi-
tion and agree to accept Hughes
or another candidate. 1t is ex-

sILVER's INCREASE is LAID
TO WAR AND MEXICO

How many causes contribute to the
slow but none the less steady and per
sistent rise in the price of bar sill
yer is a question thrust upon the at
tention of Colorado mining men with
recent cable and telegraph reports
that 81 cents an ounce is the last
quotation received from London and
New York. This is the highest quo
tation for bar silver in nearly two
years.
THE contributing causes to this
slow rise are many, and none can be
singled out as directly affecting the
market in unusual degree" NJ. Scott,
manager of the American Metal COM
pany.. Ltd, of Denver, said. while
81 cents an ounce is not a high figure
for bar silver. it is however, notice
able that the price climbed steadily
in the last few months. On Nov. / q.
last, it was quoted at 40 lac, and from
that point has climbed up steadily.
1t may fall again, or may continue
climbing upward; that's something |
wouldn't venture to predict.
or course. one reason for a higher
price lies in the curtailment of the
former enormous output of silver
from Mexico. 1t is possible. also, that
recent discussion of the probability
of the adoption of bimetallic stand
ard in European countries after the
war may have affected the price. Eng
land is the big world power in the
control of silver. and the presence of
that nation in the war likewise prob
ably has driven the price of bar sill
yer upward to a slight degree
