CHICAGO. ILL.,, June 10.-There was
sunshine all over Chicago today except
in tho progressive camp. where no one.
not even George Perkins and Raymond

They met, and sang and cheered for q

while they were singing and mingling
hymns with 5ingling campaign songs,
they knew not deep down in their
hearts whether the man whom they
idolize as the leader was about to
crush their political lives forever, or
raise them to the highest heaven of
delight by accepting their demands for
leadership.
On this day will be decided whether
there will be o united republican
party. The gloom in tho progressive
camp makes 1t sure that they think,
at least, that the union will be ef-
fected through the death Of the bull
moose spirit. II at any time today
there should be q ray Of hope that
Roosevelt will accept the nomination
Of the progressives on a third ticket
his followers here will run amuck in
a frenzy Of JOY.

He said he meant every word he said

In HIS letter to Mr. jackson: that the
nomination Of Senator Lodge would meet
these needs. and that he asked the pro-
gresslve conferees to stand by. him in
making the deeds carry out his work,
and that he trusted that this telegram
would be read before both conventions.
The paragraphs in the telegram to for
mer Senator Jackson which Col Roose-

Waiting for Third Ballot.

Waiting for Third Ballot.
The colonel indicated that he might
have a statement to make after the
third ballot is taken by the republicans
Meanwhile the impression appeared to
be growing hourly here that he will be-
come the candidate of the progressives

him. While he has issued no written
or spoken word to indicate what he
Will do, those in his confidence assert
that he feels keenly what he character
ICES as failure by the republicans to
come out strongly against the pro-Ger-
man element.
Another problem which the colonel
was wrestling with early today was the
possibility that he would be unable to
prevent the progressives at Chicago
from nominating him before the re-
publicans resumed balloting. 8
He exacted pledge from the pro-
gressives last night not to nominate
him then and was said to be hopeful
this forenoon that they would hold of
until the republican situation shaped
up today.
Col. Roosevelt said that at about 5
o'clock this morning he was notified
by the progressive conferees that they
had come to no conclusion with the
republican conferees and that the re-
publican conferees had again asked
candidate from the progressive con-
ferees.
Duty to Present Alternative.
He then wrote the progressive con-
ferees stating that he deeply approved
their loyalty to him, and their efforts
to get him nominated. but that he
thought the time had come when, car
rying out the spirit Of the statement
of the progressive national committee
in January and the statement made
by him in Trinidad in February, it was
their duty to present an alternative
name on which he hoped the republi-
cans and progressives could unite.

presented the name of Henry Cabot

Shouting in the Galleries.
The galleries shouted till the shout
ers were hoarse; a few scattered dele
gates stood in their chairs and en-
couraged the uproar. The great body
of delegates and alternates sat in their
chairs and waited for order. Some Of
them chewed gum. others chewed to-
bacco. Most of them looked as if their
minds were mainly centered upon a
chance to give two bits for a sandwich.
Immediately after adjournment the
allies rushed forth in glee to hold a
conference to the end of framing up a
combination to stave off the nominal
ton of Mr. Hughes on the first bal
lot today. They had previously claimed
that II they could hold him through
the second ballot he was a soner. The
second ballot passed. but his prospects

secure that each succeeding ballot
would swell the anthem of gloriflca-
tion to Hughes.
Night Hours Dramatic.
Tho next few hours were dramatic.
The delegates, hungry and tired. rushed
the restaurants and snatched such food
as they could and then repaired to
their respective headquarters to line
up their forces. All through the night
the corridors of the Congress Hotel
swarmed with shouting. clamoring and
thoughtful. silent men. intent upon
laying out the battle of the morrow.
The leaders of the allies went into
conference They figured and pleaded
with one another. But each man want
ed to compromise upon his own partic-
ular favorite son.
Shortly before o'clock this morn

were startled with the word that

Springfield that the Jig was UP In his

all but a few went to bed. But they
were up and at IL again by o'clock

to read In the dispatches from Oyster

the regulars taking HIM They were
unable to account for his optimism.
Keep Eyes on Bull Moose.

bring affairs to a fnality was en-

Story Of Old John Peters.

One delegate was telling Thea sit
uation to another man in the lobby
afterward. BILL" he said, "all this
reminds me of old John Peters down
in my town. John knew liquor was a
bad thing. mighty bad thing, but
somehow or other he could not keep
of the stuff. He used to go to tenn
perance lectures. and signed pledges
and took the cure and everything. He
must have had eight gallons of anti
booze mixture injected into him first
and last. but every time he saw a pair
of swinging doors he ran into them
full tilt, and the only thing that stop
ped him was the bar. One day his
physician trailed him and caught him
lung1ng head first into a place where
they sell liquor. / believe they call it
a saloon. The doctor said to him, he
ought to be ashamed Of himself"
''Whereupon, John grabbed his glass
firmly and said, You're right, doc. There
are 10000 reasons why I shouldn't have
anything to do with rum, but Just now
I can't think Of q single one"
And there were just about as many
reasons why the progressives should
have a liquor plank, but when 1t came
time to vote few Of them seemed able
to think Of any.

Robins Uses a Hammer.

This Raymond Robins, chairman OF
the progressive convention, who wears
one Of the four tailor made suits In the
outfit, must have keen sense of the
fitness of things. Ordinarily a chairman
will use a gavel to keep contro! OF or
der of business, but Mr. Robins mas
been using a hammer. The first day ne
used a gas filters hammer. which recog-
nized that it was right where it ought
to be about the time the talk began.
If any registered plumber and gas hitter
had more use for hammer to plug
leaks than Mr.. Robins, then he de-
served union wages and double pay Tor
overtime.
On the second day some loving adj
r1irer stole the hammer to take nome
probably as a souvenir and mend the
kitchen sink. The convention couldn't
be called to order until the stage car
penter of the Auditorium had produced
a carpenters hammer. just the sort OF
thing for mailing up platforms. rms
might have been acceptable, but the
head of the hammer came near flying
into the middle of the New York dele
cation, and Mr.. Robins nd to SEND out
for another hammer. They brought to
him a large full-fedged machinlsts
hammer capable Of driving railroad
spike. AS to his ability to operate
machine, no praise is too great. There
Is a machine in charge of the progress
sive party, just as there is a machine
in charge of the republican convention.
The progressiyes hate the republican
machine, but they stand by their own
and show complete faith in the men
who compose its several parts.
