PR0CRESSIVES CLAM0R TO NOMINATE ROOSEVELT T
CONSERVATIVE LEADERS WITH
 DIFFICULTY STEM T|DE URGING,
 DEMANDING IMMEDIATE CT|ON
(Republican A. P. Leased Wire)

AUDITORIUM HALL, CHICAGO, June 9-After struggling than three hours today to prevent radi cal delegates from rushing headong into the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt their standard bearer, the pro gressive convention recessed at 545 o'clock to clock tonight to enable committees of the two conventions to meet in effort to effect peace.
 The convention re-assembled at 8:21 clock tonight and at S:38 o'clock took until 10 OcOck tOmOr TOW.
 The conservative leaders with difficulty stemmed the nsisent demands for the nomination of Roosevelt before the republicans could select else but finally succeeded.
 Before the delegates consented to listen however, many speakers charged that the progressive party lead dealing with thieves and could afford to take chances
 It was not until word came from the Coliseum that the republicans had received the invitation of the pro gressves to confer by immediately naming conference committee that the radicals satisfied and consent given to take recess.
 The afternoon showed the leaders clearly than before that they in control only because of a willingness to attempt to secure peace and an unfaVor- able report from the conference committee would mean the almost instant nominat ion of Colonel Roosevelt

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, June 8.-Col. Theodore Roosevelt declared tonight that he had nothing whatever to add to the sentiments expressed by him earlier in the day in his message to Former Senator Vim. Jackson of Maryland, in response to the sugges- tion that he appear before the re- publican national convention. He still maintains the position that nothing has developed in the situation at Chi cago, which requires his presence there, and there were no indications late tonight that he was making prep arations for the trip.
 The correspondents were received by Colonel Roosevelt as usual tonight He entertained them for some time with the story of how he shot hi. first bear, and later invited them tC visit his private den, where he dis played some of his cherished trophies of the hunt.

Not Government Affair

FL PASO Tex, June S.-Gen. Ga briel Gavira, Carranza commander of Northern Chihuahua, today issued a statement in which he described the recent anti American riots in Chihua- hua City as entirely an affair of the citizens" and pointed out that the gov ernment authorities are in no way countenancing them.
 People in the United States little realize the irritating effect of the pres ence of American troops on Mexican soil has on our people, he said. Al together it is rather to be wondered that no meetings of protest have been held sooner"
 The demonstration which eliminated

In this latter region the Germans report the capture of Kunawa, but Petrograd asserts that all their attacks were re- pulsed.
 With the capture of Fort Yaux, northeats of Verdun, the Germans have attempted to advance their line against the French east and west of the Thiaumont farm, south of Dou- aumont The French barrier fire, however, held them back. Northwest of Verdun around Hill No. 3O4 and in the region of Chattancourt, the artillery duels are still intense.

PROGRESSIVE
 PLATFORM UP
 T0C0NvENT|ON
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

CHICAGO, June S.-The Progressive platform with it's principal blanks de- voted to an exposition, of American ism, preparedness, protection and wo- man suffrage, was laid before the pro gressive convention today. It was re- ceiyed with enthusiasm that presaged it's adoption with but little if any change and was made the unfinished business when the convention recessed today to allow it's conferees to dis
 cuss peace plans with the republicans. The platform as presented to the con- vention follows:
 This is the year of decision for the nations future. As we now decide, so
 we shall go forward in righteousness
 and power, or backward. in degrada-
 tion and weakness.
 | Of necessity we deal now with the foundations of our national life. We are facing elemental facts of force, of
 right and wrong, of extreme national peril. Our present choice of path will
 be irrevocable. The tradition of isola- ton has been ended. The United States is now part of a world system of civil llization. We stand or fall as we pre-
 pare to take our part in peace or war and hold our own therein.
 We earnestly desire to keep the peace, but there are higher things
 we must keep if we would keep the
 faith as Washington and Lincoln kept it. Peace at the price of submission and cowardice is not desirable, nor is
 it the peace of justice which alone
 make it permanent. Supine submis- . sion to the invasion of our rights ol indifference to the wrongs of weaker nations. will not long maintain peace nor will mere threat of action enforce our rights under international law
 There must be. an unfaltering deter imitation and a personal ability to de fend our rights and to fulfill our in ternational obligations. In such
 readiness lies the sure safeguard O both national honor and continued f peace. Failure to deal firmly an' , promptly with the menace of Mexican
 disorders has brought conditions wors
 than warfare and has supplanted ou : national self respect. Every resource 0 government should forthwith be use' b to end those conditions. and protec

COMMITTEES
 CONF FERR|NG
 FUR HARMONY
Republican A. p. Leased wlre1

CHICAGO, June S.-The republican convention today accepted the invi- tation of the progressives to a con- ference for harmony. A proposal to that end. adopted first in the progress sive convention was received in the republican convention and adopted with a few scattering. noes" and very little demonstration.
 Senator Shoot, chairman, with for mer Senator Crane, Senator Borah Nicholas Murray Butler of New York and former Representative A. R. Johnson of Ohio, are the members of the republican conference committee named by Chairman Harding.
 They at once began arrangements for meeting the progressives.
 The complexion of the committee was generally regarded as one which would not accept Colonel Roosevelt for the presidential nomination but on the other hand would not insist upon an agreement on Justice Hughes The whole effect of the development was to throw the republican nomination into uncertainty until the conferees report
 The Other presidential developments [ in the republican convention were the | adoption of the platform as reported l by the resolutions committee headed | by Senator Lodge, a half minute dem | onstratiOn for Col.

Two Tumultuous Sessions

AUDITORIUM HALL, CHICAGO, June S.-The progressive national con- vention met in two tumultuous ses- sions today and adjourned tonight un- til 1A a. m. tomorrow
 The principal business of the day was the approval of plan to confer on peace plans with the republican convention.
 Throughout the day the leaders kept control over the delegations more by persuasion and by constant reiteration of Chairman Robins promise that the majority would decide any questions that arose than by any actual hold they had upon the delegations. The same determination to nominate Theodore Roosevelt was evident from the time the first delegation trooped in shortly after l o'clock until the last went out shortly before nine o'clock tonight.
 Leaders made no effort to conceal their belief that a failure of the con- ference committee to agree or to find some possible basis for an agreement could result in but one thing-the inn mediate nomination of Colonel Roose- welt In the words of Chairman Robins. tomorrow probably will be a big day in the convention" Only by many promises to place no ob- stacles in the way of the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt were the dele gates content to adjourn and await results from the conferees.
