sticky theater. were willing to wait for a nomination.
 Twenty four hours more won't make any difference" said Governor Hiram Johnson. The crowd agreed and accepted the motion to adjourn. One of the incidents of the day, and one of the most dramatic, was the sudden appearance upon the platform of Senator Borah of Idaho, a delegate to the republican conven- tion and one of the peace conferees He got a reception that rose to the high ceiling of the theater and swelled out into the streets, but when he began to speak the old temper for Roosevelt famed out again. The , Senator spoke briefly. He hoped for harmony and peace and the spirit of get-together but he promised to fol- low Mir Roosevelt with all the ardor he was capable of if he should be the nominee of the two parties There was little routine business during the day. The platform was tentatively agreed upon with only a few changes.
 A fight to insert prohibition plank was defeated by a vote of 523 to S2, after the leaders had explained at length that to put it in meant that prohibition and not Americanism would then become the main issue of the coming campaign.
 For the rest, the delegates just cheered and listened. Realizing that an outbreak might be avoided only by keeping them in good humor, the leaders recognized man after man in the hall, called them to the platform and allowed them to play on the crowds good nature and it's sense of humor.
 Before adjournment the delegate, , were told of the results of the frs, two ballots at the Coliseum. The, | took comfort from the vote for MT Roosevelt and the motion to end tht : session was unopposed
 With the delegates seats about two. thirds full, Chairman Robins con vened the night session at 8:26 o'clocl after a stage conference with MT Garfield and other leaders Fron several parts of the hall came tn, cry:
 Do it now!'
 Another chant was: Why no now?"
 The demands for immediate nom ination of Colonel Roosevelt cam from the Maine delegation seated ol the stage, and were quickly picked. u by others in the audience
 The demands, however, seemed: t be made in good humor.
 When we're ready, we'll talk Teddy" was a retort shouted in uni son by the Ohio delegation.
 Robins kept rapping for order, bu when it looked as if the conventio would get down to business. the yell ing broke out again. The leaders ap parently were interested in the new from the Coliseum. The crowd con
 tinued to yell, with now and then
 gavel tap to remind everybody thef

was chairman.
 As the word came in that the sec ond ballot was being taken at the Coliseum, progressive leaders consult ed together.
 The Maine delegation started an. other demonstration with a chant, Why not, why not-why not nominate now?"
 The tune was that of the old, famil- jar hymn, and as it spread through the hall, the band and thousands of dele gates and spectators in the boxes and galleries joined. It became shout, a roar, that swelled and echoed under the high roof of the theater | Delegate Merle D. Vincent of Colo rado spoke during the day, and insist ed that the regular order of business | be proceeded with. He praised | George w. Perkins, bitterly assailed ''the Reed Shoots and Murray Cranes" :" who, he said, had more experience, but i less principle, in political conventions.
 "The republican leaders know we have pat hand" he said, and they're trying to make us lay down by raising the ante.'
 The crowd laughed at his poker political simile, and he was forced to mount the stage.
 MT. Vincent said the delegates would defer to Governor Johnson's request to further postpone Colonel Roosevelts s nomination.
 And then" he said, I've will pro- ceed to execute the commission for which we came here"
 Henry Allen said he also agreed with Governor Johnsons wishes. and did so without regret.
 When Mir. Allen announced that Governor Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania had just withdrawn in favor of Colo mel Roosevelt at the Coliseum, another gale of cheers swept the Auditorium.
 He said he had just left the Coli
 scum, and that it was about the dreari
 est, most stolid looking bunch of dele gates he ever saw.
 William Film of Pennsylvania praised George w. Perkins, and saiC
 he also had something in his system , he wasn't going to let out. ''Yol needn't have, for one moment, any ap 7 prehension that this bunch down a the Coliseum is going to put it owe 3 on us," he said You take it iron

HARMONY COMMITTEES
 REPORT TO CONVENTIONS

tee reported as follows:
 To the republican national conven-
 tior
 Your committee appointed pursu- ant to the resolution adopted at yes terday's session met in conference with a committee representing the national progressive convention last evening. That the progressive committee of con- ference consisted of Messers. Perkins of New York, Johnson of California, Bonaparte of Maryland, Wilkinson of New York, and Parker Of Louisiana. The conference was frank, free and most friendly. The conferees, were of one mind ir believing that the good of the country and perhaps it's repute and influence for years to come, de- bends upon the complete defeat of the present democratic administration and l the restoration of the control of the executive and legislative branches of | the government to the hands of those [ who firmly believe in and will execute 1 the policies that are so heartily sup ported by the republican and progress sive parties alike.
 1 The progressive conferees were un- animous in urging with appropriateness and fairness the opinion that Colonel Roosevelt of New York had so large a personal following and such close personal relation to the issues of the coming campaign as to make him the most desirable candidate upon which | to unite.
 Tt was agreed that your conferees would report these facts to this con- VentiOn.
