CHICAGO, Jan. Undetermined,
it is believed, TO bring about the
nomination of Theodore Roosevelt
for president by the republican ma
tional convention here on June Z,
leaders of the progressive party
went into conference in the Flor
entine room of the Congress hotel
today The meeting was not called
to order until after lengthy tele-
gram had been received from Col.
Roosevelt. The telegram bristled
with the theme of preparedness.
The plan by which the progress
sives hope to force Col. Roosevelt's
nomination upon the republicans
was outlined by Frank Funk, candi-
date for governor of Illinois in 1912.
Up to Republicans.
1--WE likely will decide today TO
hold our convention here the same
week the republicans meet" said
Funk. IF the republicans plan to
nominate their presidential candi-
date on Thursday, we will nominate
Roosevelt on Wednesday. Then, I'M
less the G. o. P. dominates ROose-
Welt, il is certain that there will be
a third ticket in the field.
With Roosevelt's name mention
ed in the republican convention,
there viii be a stampede. The dele
gates will see the futility of trying
to nominate any other candidate and
they will choose the only way to
victory-that is, to ratify the pro-
gressive nomination Of Roosevelt"
The progressive leaders went into
their conference behind closed doors,
but on the first motion II was de-
cided to admit representatives of the
press. Col. Roosevelt's telegram,
which was read TO the conferees,
was enthusiastically received. The
telegram said:
Sends His Greetings,
Il send you my hearty greetings.
We as a country are facing a great
world crisis, in which for the past Is
months this nation ha; fallen far
short of its duty, both to its own
people and TO the law abiding and
justice-loving nations of mankind.
AAASAt - a u gAh5 ICCh AAl1I VIC
shall cast aside all purely partisan
considerations and disregard all but
the vital issues affecting the ma
tional life, and shall strive whole
heartedly for a sound Americanism
which shall insist that every man
who is within its borders shall be an
American and nothing else.
I'VE must do justice to our own
people at home; we must insist that
they have justice when abroad. We
must insist upon the most thorough
going preparedness 10 protect our
rights against all possible attacks
by an aggressOr. Such preparedness
is the best guarantee of honorable
peace. We must remember that
there cannot be such preparedness
in things material unless there is
also that preparedness of soul and
spirit which alone renders a nation
fit to perform its high and difficult
duties in national and international
life Theodore + oOseveIt."
