Captain Fryatt, OF the steamer

Chicago.-Colonel Roosevelts an.
swer to the progressive convention
follows:
ITO the Progressive Convention-I
am very grateful for the honor you
confer upon me by nominating me as
president. l cannot accept it at this
time.
II do not know the attitude Of the
candidate of the republican party to-
ward the vital questions of the day.
Therefore If you desire an immediate
decision I must decline the nomina-
ton. But if you prefer it, I suggest
that my conditional refusal be placed
in the hands of the progressive nation
al committee. If Mr.. Hughes state
ments, when he makes them, shall
satisfy the committee that it is for the
interest of the country that he be
elected, they can act accordingly and
treat my refusal as definitely accepted.
"1f they are not satisfied they can
so notify the progressive party and at
the same time they can confer with
me and then determine on whatever
action we may severally deem appro-
pirate to meet the needs of the coun-
try. Theodore Roosevelt"

The principal DEVELOPMENTS Of the

The principal developments Of the
second days session we're the adoption
of the platform as reported by the res
olutions committee headed by Senator
Lodge and the appointment of Q COM
mittee to confer with similar COM
mittee from the progressive conven-
ton in an effort to promote harmoni-
Gus action by the conventions. The
temporary organization was made per-
manent.
After the opening prayer at the
third days session Senator Smoot
read the report of the peace confer
ees. which he announced was frank,
free and friendly" When Mr.. Smoot
came to the announcement that the
prbgressives had urged that Colonel
Roosevelt had the attributes of "the
most desirable candidate upon which
to unite" there were applause, cheers
and some Kisses.
Then came the nomination Of can
didates.. The roll of states was called
and Alabama and Alaska passed. Ari-
IONA yielded to New York. Governor
Whitman, of New York, took the plat
form to nominate Justice Hughes.
Governor Whitman dominates Hughes
At the conclusion of Governor Whit
mans speech the convention broke
into an uproar. The Hughes men in
the New York delegation led the cheer
ing. The other delegates from the
"favorite son" states for the most part
kept their seats.
The Oregon men picked up their
standard and began march about the
hall. The Hughes men from New York
Joined in. Vermont and Michigan del
egates joined the procession. The
marchers cried: 1--WE want Hughes"
and paraphrasing the Bull Moose
marching yell, shouted: 1--WE want
Charlie"

The significance of Colonel Roose-
velt's message with announcement
that if the progressive national COM
mittee found the subsequent state
ments of Charles Evans Hughes, the
republican standard bearer, to it's lik-
ing, his non-acceptance of the progress
sive nomination should stand as his
last word, was lost in that tired
throng, worn out by it's own enthusi-
asm, by long delays over peace parleys
with the republicans and by the dis
cussion of platform on which it must
go into the field, if at all, against both
the forces of democracy and repub-
licanism.
The progressive national convention
opened in the Auditorium with a rec
ord-breaking demonstration for Col
Olel Roosevelt.
For an hour and SO minutes the del
Gates and spectators roared, shouted
I'd cheered and applauded They sang
lie progressive battle hymns, paraded
.e aisles and over the stage and howl
! down all attempts to check. The
amonstration exceeded the previous
cord for such affairs.

Republican Delegates Urged to Forget
Disaster Of 1912 and Work.
Chicago.-Emphasizing that it was
not time for recrimination, but of a
reconsecration, Senator Harding, of
Ohio, in the keynote speech, urged the
delegates to the republican national
convention to forget the disastrous diff
ferences of four years ago and plunge
into the coming campaign with a dec
laration Of principles which would
bring success at the polls.
The convention received the tenn
porary chairman's speech with pune
tuations of applause and cheers and
his sallies against the democratic ad-
ministration with laughter and hand
clapping.

HUGHES RESIGNS TO
ACCEPT NOMINATION
Nominee Issues a Statement
After Leaving Bench Out.
lining His Principles.

Washington-Charles Evans Hughes
stepped down Saturday from the ST.
preme bench and, again private citi-
zen, accepted the republican nomina-
ton for president. In telegram ring
ing with denunciation of the admins
tration's foreign policy and declaring
for dominating, thoroughgoing Amer
icanism, he gave his decision to Chair
man Harding, of the republican nation
al convention, and broke the long 81
lence which had kept the leaders Of
his party in the dark as to his attitude
toward the great issues of the day.
On the subject of preparedness the
telegram says, in. part:
II believe in preparedness, not only
entirely adequate for our defense with
respect to numbers and equipment in
both army and navy, but with all thor
oughness, to the end that in each
branch of the service there may be
the utmost efficiency under competent
administrative heads.
Il have not desired the nomination"
said the telegram. 81 have wished to
remain on the bench. But in this crit
ical period of our national history, l
recognize that it is your right to sum-
mon and it is my paramount duty to
respond"
Mr.. Hughes also speaks of the ne
cessity for economic development and
trade. He regards fair tariff read
justment on protective lines as essen
tial to the preservation of American
standards of living, particularly after
the European war ends.

CHARLES EVANS HUGHES
Who Received the Republican Nonnin.
alton for President at Chicago.
Before the ballot was taken Satur-
day Senator Smoot of Utah, an
no-nced the report of the latest meet
t. If the republican conferees with
the conferees of the progressive con-
vention, disclosing that the republi-
cans had presented the name of Mr..
Hughes for consideration as candi-
date on which both conventions could
unite. He also read the reply of the
progressive conferees, which merely
was an acknowledgment of receipt of
the proposal. Then he read Colonel
Roosevelt's statement to the progress
sive convention, which had been
brought to the Coliseum by John Nc
Grath, the colonels secretary, sug-
costing that Senator Lodge be nomin-
ated by both conventions.
Before he had finished the reading
word came and was announced in the
Coliseum that the progressive conven-
ton itself had not only tabled the re-
publican proposal of Mr. Hughes but
had tabled Colonel Roosevelt's own
proposal of Senator Lodge as well.
Nominee Did Not Seek Nomination.
The convention was noteworthy in
political history for many things. A
man who steadfastly had refused to
seek the nomination had been chosen;
it was the first republican convention
since 1888 which had been forced to
take more than one ballot to agree on
a candidate and it has been marked
by lack of riotous demonstration and
nervous enthusiasm which hitherto
has been feature of such gatherings.
Charles D. Hills, chairman of the
republican national committee, called
the convention to order Wednesday,
June 7, and requested the audience to
rise and sing two verses of America.
The band launched into the air and,
led by male quartet, the floor and
galleries Joined in a mighty chorus
that swept through the big Coliseum.
Mr.. Hills introduced Senator Hard
ing, of Ohio, as temporary chairman
after Rev. J. T. Stone, of Chicago, read
a prayer.
After listening to Senator Harding's
keynote speech in which he appealed
for harmony, scored the democratic
administration and declared the repub-
lican party's allegiance to protective
tariff and national defense, the con-
vention adjourned.
