AUDITORIUM. CHICAGO, June s.
The progressive committee on per-
manent organization has voted to
make Raymond Robins permanent
chairman.
Just as the bull moose convention
was about 10 assemble this after
noon, the leaders of the party made
public a telegram from the colonel
TO w. p. Jackson of Maryland. in
which Roosevelt declared that he
would come before the republican
convention and address it if the
convention so desired.
The prompt reply Of the colonel
to the telegram sent him by former
Sen. Jackson, who leads the Mary
land delegation in the regular con-
vention created a sensation. 1t was
asserted that the regulars would not
dare extend the invitation for fear
Of stampede. Fast conferences
were held among the old guard and
the progressives eagerly awaited
some information from that side OF
the street as to what effect the tele-
gram would have.
In the progressive convention the
telegram had the effect to check a
general demand for immediate
nomination SO that developments
might come from those authorized
10 speak for the coliseum folk.
Here's Program.
The actual convention work OF
the moose today is scheduled TO be
confined TO the following bill of po-
liticaI fare
G-Playing the George N. Co
han stuff off the boards with flags
and band and song.
(2)-AdOpting the moose plat
form. so cut and sewed that no old
Guard choice can hope TO get into
the garment
(3)-SinSing Onward Christian
Soldiers and When Teddy Comes
Marching Home" and then adjourn
ing until tomorrow when the big
rocket is due 10 ascend.
The gumshoe expedition working
for the ultimate triumph of the
oyster Bay leader started in last
night with the explosion of a few
mines i'm minor DELEGATIONS. They
reported 10 the waiting moose that
few craters had been occupied
and that prospects were good. But
the tangible evidences of success in
forcibly dragging the guard 10 the
seat of repentance for the crime OF
1912 were not very strong.
More Bitterness Evidenced.
Indeed the night brought evidence
of more bitterness in some direc-
tions. Mayor Bill Thompson's city
payroll. headed by a band that cost
real money. invaded the moose pre-
cincts. where a faithful band was
trying to sing "Teddy's a Bear" tC
the accompaniment of a mechanical
organ. and drowned the barber shOT
quartet and the faithful chorus OF
delegates IL was raining good
and plenty and the moose We're wet
and in no mood 20 be trified with
by any mere favorite son.
Since the invasion was made il
the name OF sherman. and osten.
siblv for his boom the moose
sharpened their horns and rushed
across the street 70 the Congress
hotel and broke into a Sherman
seance. just by way Of reprisal.
