like a tornado.
It began with Alabama and rolled J
over the country from coast to coast
and from Gulf to Canadian bordet It
leaped the seas to the Philippines and
Hawaii and Porto 'Rico.
At almost the same moment Theo-
dore Roosevelt was unanimously nomi-
nated for president by the Progressive
national convention.
Make Nomination Unanimous.
Chairman Harding announced the
nomination of Hughes, and Alex. P.
Moore of Pittsburgh and Senator
Lodge, who voted for Theodore Roose-
velt. moved to make It unanimous.

mous with a roaring chorus of "Ayes"
and not a single "No."
Senator Lodge made an eloquent ap-
peal for Hughes In seconding the mo-
tion for unanimity.
New Mexico nominated Fairbanks
for vice president. Governor Willis
of Ohio seconded Fairbanks.
Nebraska was the next state to re-
spond aitd H. H. Baldridge nominated
former Senator Burkett.
Charles Warren Fairbanks of Indi-
ana was nominated on the first bal-
lot as the vice presidential candidate
of the Republican party.
Hughes Is Notified.
The following message of notifica-
tion and congratulation from Warren
G. Harding, permanent chairman of
the Republican national convention,
was sent to Justice Hughes at Wash-
ington
"With deliberation and enthusiasm,
under circumstances which could not
have been more complimentary, and
with unanimity never excelled In past
conventions, you have been nominat-
ed by the Republicans of the nation
as our candidate for president of the
United States.
"Your eminent fitness for this high
office, your sterling integrity and un-
sullied private character are under-
stood and appriclated by your coun-
trymen.
"Voicing the sentiments of the con-
vention over which 1 have presided
by the courtesy of my fellow dele-
gates, 1 congratulate you and the coun-
try upon the outcome of this conven-
tion. WARKKN G. HARDING."
The fact that Roosevelt had been
nominated by the rival convention. In
no wise dampened the ardor or the
enthusiasm of the Republican dele-
gates. the alternates and the great
crowds that packed the floor and the
galleries «*f the Coliseum to the very
last inch.
CHARLES WARREN FAIRBANKS.

As soon as the presidential nomina-
tion was out of the way. conferences
were begun to fix upon the running
mate of the Supreme court Justice.
Roosevelt Offers Lodge.
The Roosevelt proposal to select
bis friend, Henry Cabot Lodge, as a
compromise candidate was never tak
en seriously by the Republicans.
Lodge's name was not even for-
mally placed In nomination before the
Republican convention.
The Roosevelt message, however,
caused consternation for a time, com-
ing as It did like a bombshell wholly
unexpected.
The report of the "peace" confer-
ence committees showing that the
Progressive "peace committee" had
agreed to put the name of Hughes
before that convention hardly caused
a stir, nor did the news that camo a
few minutes later that the report had
been tabled by the Progressives
Meanwhile Hughes was In the air,
on every tongue. Delegates were Im-
patient to get to balloting. The feel-
ing was everywhere that the third bal-
lot of the conventlot. for president
| would be the last—and It was.
I Harding Is Chairman.
The Republican convention opened
nt the Coliseum at 11 a. m.. June 7.
Senator Warren O. Harding of Ohio
was elected temporary chairman, and
he delivered a speech setting forth
conservative Republican principles.
Following this the regular committees
were appointed and organized and rou-
tine convention business went for-
ward. There was only moderate ex-
pression of enthusiasm at any time.
Wtth the hope of agreeing an a
dentlal candidate whom both parties
might support, the Progressives, in
convention at the Auditorium and the
Republicans appointed a Joint confer-
ence committee Thursday, and this
committee met at the Chicago club.
Shortly after midnight It was an-
nounced that no progress had been
made toward fusion of the two parties.
The Republican members of this
committee were Senator Reed Smoot
of Utah, W. Murray Crane, ex-senator
from Massachusetts; Senator William
E. Borah of Idaho, Nicholas Murray
Butler of New York, president of Co-
I lumbla university; A. R- Johnson of
Ohio, a former congressman. The Pro-
gressive members were Gov. Hiram
Johnson of California, Horace S. Wil-
kinson of New York. Charles J. Bona-
parte of Maryland, former attorney
general, John M. Parker of Louisiana.
George W. Perkins of New York.
The Progressive convention opened
at exactly the same time the Republi-
cans Btarted their meeting. Tempo-
rary Chairman Raymond Robins deliv-
ered the Progressive policy speech.
Routine business followed—but It
wasn't routine in the same way as the
Republican session was. The Progres-
sives, with such men as William Allen
White, Victor Murdock and Hiram
Johnson, were loudly enthusiastic.
This convention was really an explo-
sive affair—cheers, table pounding
radical talk and all that
Career of Justice Hughes.
Charles Evans Hughes' fame rests
principally on Ms conduct of the In-
surance Investigation and his career
as governor of New York state.
An Iron will. Incorruptible charao
ter and remarkable reasoning ability
are characteristics commonly attrib
uted to him.
Mr. Hughes was born at Glens Orils.

St. Louis, June 14 —The Democratic
national convention was called to or-
der this morning In the Coliseum by
William F. McCombs, chairman of the
national committee, and entered on
its formal business promptly and
smoothly. The hall, which was quite
elaborately decorated with the Ameri-
can flag and with bunting, was filled
to more than the limit of Its seating
capacity, despite the fact that sever*l
thousand additional seats had been
provided by the construction of a mes-
zanine balcony.
As the members of the national com-
mittee and the delegations too* 4.heir
p'aces there was hearty applause for
the many notables whom the audience
was quick to recognize. Several mem-
bers of the cabinet and, of course,
many United States senators were
amon* these distinguished attendants.
When Sergeant-at-Arms John I.
Martin and his assistants bad brought
about quiet in the big assemblage.
Chairman McCombs stepped forward,
gavel In hand, and was given a hearty
round of applause. He formally de-
clared the convention opened, and aft-
er the divine blessing had been In-
voked" and the call for the convention
read Mr. McCombs announced the se-
lection of Martin H. Glynn, former
governor of New York, as temporary
chairman.
Glynn Sounds the Keynote.
Mr. Glynn is an eloquent and
forceful speaker, and in setting forth
the issues of the campaign as the
Democratic party sees them he evoked
the frequent cheers of his audience.
Especially did he emphasize the suc-
cess of President Wilson's policy in
keeping the American nation from be
ing embroiled in the European war.
The policy the president has pursued,
he asserted, is the same that has been
followed by many of his predecessors,
from Washington down, who by skill-
ful diplomacy avoided war without
sacrificing the nation's honor. In-
stance afte^r Instance he cited, and
said: "To maintain our national honor
by peace if we can, by war if we must,
is the motto of the president of the
United States."
This led the speaker to the subject
of i preparedness, and in this qonneo-
tion he claimed the present adminis-
tration has done more for our army
and our navy than any administration
in our history. Preparedness for de-
fense, not preparedness fir agres-
sion, he said, was what the Democratic
party advocated.
Mr. Clynn closed with an Impas-
sioned eulogy of President Wilson,
predicting that when the history ot
these days of war is written his name
will represent the triumph of Ameri-
can principles over the hosts of dark-
ness and of death.
Formal business occupied the time
of the rest of the first session, and the
convention was then adjourned until
Thursday.
"Golden Lane" of Suffragists.
The spectacular feature of the day
was the unique demonstration made
by the army of woman suffragists.
This took the form of a "walkless pa-
rade," the women, thousands of them,
standing in lines on both sides of Lo-
cust street, down which the delegates
proceeded from their headquarters to
the Coliseum. This was called the
"Golden Lane," from the colors of the
suffragists, and, though the demon-
stration was talkless as well as walk-
less. Its proportions and the evident
earnestness of the great number of
women taking part semed to have its
due effect on the delegates. Every
woman in the long lines wore a yellow
sash and carried a yellow parasol.
"Suffrage Plank," the donkey mascot
of the 8t. Louis suffragists, was a fea-
ture that called forth loud cheers,
especially when he grew restless and
let his heels fly about a bit.
The climax of the women's demon-
stration was a tableau at the old Art
Museum, where Liberty stood on a
pedestal in the center of a pyramid of
beauteous ladles.
The day's program of entertainment
for delegates, alternates, correspond-
ents and distinguished guests began
after the convention adjourned. Auto-
mobiles carried the city's guests on a
tour of St. Louis, after which there
was a moonlight excursion on the Mis-
sissippi river, with a dinner, on the
steamer Grey Eagle.
Getting Serious.
Maude: What makes you think his
intentions are serious?
Mabel: When he first began to call
he used to talk about the books I like
to rued.
Maude: And now?
Mabel: Now he talks about the
things he likes to eat.
