TUESDAY
Fairbanks of Indiana will head the
Republican ticket this year.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt of New
York and John M Parker of Louisiana
will head the progressive ticket.
Justice Hughes was nominated on
the third ballot In the Republican con-
vention at 12 39 p. m. Saturday. He
received 952** voles, and only 494 are
necessary to nominate. The Fair-
banks vote followed shortly.
Colonel Roosevelt was nominated
by acclamation at the Progressive
meeting Just four mluutes before the
rollcall on the deciding third ballot
has been completed at the Republican
gathering. Mr Parker was not nom-
inated until 3 p. m.
As soon as the Republican conven-
tion opened at 11 a. m., Saturday, the
members of the committee which had
conferred with a Progressive party
committee, regarding a candidate to
agree on. announced through Senator
Reed Smoot that the Republicans had j
decided on Hughes as the man. The j
reply of the Progressives regarding
the Hughes suggestion was that they
would submit it to their convention.
Shortly afterward came a communi-
cation from Colonel Roosevelt at Oys-
ter Hay suggesting Senator Henry Ca-
bot Lodge of Massachusetts as second
choice to himself in the Progressive
convention. Mr Smoot reported The
Progressives tabled Colonel Roose-
velt's suggestion—which meant they
would consider none but the ex presi-
dent.
The Conference Report.
• The support of Justice Hughes In
the Republican convention, said the
conference report by the Republican
members of the committee, "respects
spontaneous Interest and belief In his
candidacy, which have shown them-
selves in widely scattered states and
among all classes and groups of vot-
ers These have shown themselves

fact In the political situation—the Pro-
The Progressives have explained
that they wish to make up a ma-
jority in the country of men who
think alike, who, when their votes are
cast, will form a majority that means
one definite thing, or a minority that
means one definite thing.
The radical Moose have another feel-
ing about It. They for ten years have
been working along lines of greatest
resistance and they like a fight. The
Republicans for a generation, since
the days of Blaine, have been seeking
to go forward along lines of least re-
sistance. Bo the two types of- mind
understand one another but vaguely.
And it may be set down as an Item
of news that the conferences between
the leaders, big and little, of the two
parties have failed. The old bitter-
nesses have not been revived. If the
Republicans concede many things the
coalition may be brought about But
today the big outstanding fact of the
convention is that the conferences
have failed and that the Progressives
propose to put out a third ticket
They Have No Doubt.
There seems to be no doubt In their
mind that the colonel will run

sives cheer Is the fact that now
that Hughes has eliminated himself
from the Progressive program he also
has eliminated himself from the Re-
publican program. For he will not

Teddy Their Man.
Against this group the Progressives
stand united upon a few simple Ideas.
Roosevelt is their candidate and their
creed. They care little pr.marily
about the platform, if they can get
their candidate. But if the Republi-
cans do not take Roosevelt and nom-
inate some man—like Burto;. or
Weeks or Fairbanks—they have been
assured that the colonel will run on
the Progressive ticket
Making the Platform.
In brief, the Progressive program
Is this—Roosevelt and a platform con-
taining the points of essential agree
ment between the two parties. Such
a platform is being prepared now as
a working draft for the committees on
resolutions that will be elected to-
day by the various state delegations.

ticket only, and the most radical plat-
form he will indorse. Third. Murdock.

the Progressive convention can write.

Jays. They are not doing the conven-

FRIDAY
The Progressive convention all day
yesterday and Into the night devoted
| itself assiduously to the task of mak-
ing a record upon which it can take
! Colonel Roosevelt to the people as a
third party candidate.
Every minute of the time since the
convention assembled yesterday it
had been within ten minutes of the
order of nominations for president.
If at any time the Republican con-
vention had shown a desire to stam-
pede to any candidate not acceptable
to the Progressives the Progressives
could have accomplished the nom-
ination of Colonel Roosevelt in five
; minute*
But what the convention was doing
was making a public show of patience.
The Progressives desired to show
the country that they did not force the
nomination of Colonel Roosevelt be
fore the Republicans had a chance tc
i nominate him. nor even attempt tc
bring about the Roosevelt nomination
before the temper of the Republican
convention toward him accurately was
known to the country. So they decid
ed to let the Republicans take at least
two and perhaps three ballots showing
rather definitely that the Republicans
would not take him as their own can
didate. before he was nominated by
the Progressive*
The strategy of the conference com
mlttee was part of the Progressive
plan to make a record of patience
It was a part of the plan adopted by
the ProgTeeaive national convention
last January, when th* olive branch
«ii extended to the R*publlcana. It
wa* planned then to make every
move on the board carefully, so that
the country would get a rather dafl
nlte impression that the Progressive*
were willing to give the Republicans
every posalble chance to respond tc
popular sentiment for the colonel with
out the slightest tinge of humiliation
due to the ha*ty conduct of the Pro
gresslves.
So for thr^e day* they have taktvn
their satisfaction out in cheering. In
the hope that the Republicans woiJd
Lot be offe&ded by ha*t? action.
