Roosevelt Sends Message to
Progressives Declining
Nomination Now.

ch,capo June 1O.-The Republican
,st,onal convention today nominated
rhsrles Evans Hughes of New York
md charles w. Fairbanks of Indiana
= the candidates of their party for
nresident and vice president.
Almost at the same moment Theo-
dorp Roosevelt was nominated by the
Progressive national convention and
later in the day John M. Parker of
Louisiana was named as his running
mate.
The Republican nomination required
a ballot-the third of the convention
while the Progressive nomination was
made by acclamation.
Mr., Roosevelts provisional declina-
ton to accept the Progressive nomina-
ton Is believed by the politically wise
to leave the door ajar, If not wide
open, for eventual withdrawal of the
third ticket in the event Mr.. Hughes
position on what the Progressives feel
10 be the vital issues of the campaign
meet with their approval. To this ex-
tent at least the leaders in both par
ties feel that the efforts at harmony,
even If not directly fruitful of result,
may yet be realized.
