H rogressives Declare for Mighty Army and Navy, Woman Suffrage and Industrial Justice MOOSE DECLARE FOR ARMAMENT TO GUARD RIGHTS Second Navy, Army of 250,- 000 and Federal Training in Platform F(R UNIVERSAL SERVICE Roosevelt Stand Is Supported. Declaration for Industrial Justice and Suffrage CHICAGO, June 8. The platform drawn by tho Committco on Resolutions during Its all-night session nnd submitted to the con tention today follows: This la the year of decision for the nation's future. As wo now decide, so shall we go forward In righteousness and power or backward In degradation and weakness Of necessity, we deal now with tho foundation of our national life. We are facing elements of force, of right from wrong, extreme national peril. Our present choice of path will be Irrevocable. Tho tradition of Isolation 1ms been ended. The United States Is now a part of a world system of clvllbntlon Wo stand or fall o wo prepare to take our partB In peace or war nnd hold our own therein. OUR BASIC DUTIES As member"! of nn International com munity wo are mibjcct to certain basic .duties: Flrat. To secure the rights nnd equal treatment of our citizens, natlNO or natural tied, on land and sea, without regard to race, creed or nativity. Second. To guard tho honor and uphold tho lust Influcnco of our nation; to main tain tho Integrity of international law. These are tho cornerstones of civilization We must bo strong to defend them. Tho present war shows that It Is the supremo duty of civilization to creato conditions which will make peace permanent. Our country must bo able and ready to tnko Its part In that work. The peace which we desire for our country Is not the peace of submission and cowardice, but the peace of justice. AVar and Its evils will not bo done away with by suffering Injustice to ourselves or others nor by pledging our sches to drastic action for International rights If we do not prepare tho force which -would sustain such notion. We can perform our rightful part in promoting permanent International peace only by a willingness and a prepared ability to de fend our own rights and tho rights of other nations. Wo earnestly deslro to keep tho peace. But there are higher things that wo must keep, as Washington and Lin coln kept them for us. MUST PREPARE Adequate provision for the common de fense has becomo tho task of foremost national concern. Wo must bo ready in spirit, nrms and industry. Preparation in arms requires: The navy onco more second in battle efficiency. A regular nrmy of 250,000 men, fully armed and trained, as a first line of land defense. A system of military training, adequate to organize a system with promptness, be hind that flrst lino of the army and navy a citizen soldiery supplied and controlled by the National Government. In our Democracy every male citizen is charged with the duty of defending his country This duty Is not now. It has existed from the foundation of the Gov ernment, Under modern conditions It can not bo performed without military training service without training means slaughter and disaster. As the nation has always recognized and exercised tho right to en force compulsory military service In time of war, so should there be universal mili tary training for that service during times of peace. NOT FOR AGGRESSION. We believe In preparedness for defense, but never for aggression. We should not sacrifice the lives of men for the glory or gain of military conquest. And wo believe that the women of tho country who share with men tho burdens of Government In times of peace and make equal sacrifice in time of war should bo given the full political right of suffrage. Arms nlone cannot maintain a nation Of far greater permanent importance must stand a national Industry efficient for the general welfare, a prosperity Justly dis tributed, the national life organized in all points for national ends. Four years ago this party was born of a nation's awakened sense of these fundamental truths. In the platform then adopted wo set forth our position on publlo questions. We here re affirm the declaration then made on na tional Issues. i A nation to survive must stand for the principles of Bocial nnd industrial Justice. We have no right to expect continued loy alty from an oppressed class. We must 're Wove the artificial cause of his cost of liv ing, prevent the (exploitation of children in Industry, protect the wage-earner, and by a properly regulated system of rural credits encourage the farmer and give to the land less man opportunity to acquire land. A country must be worth living In to be worth fighting for. To make possible social Justice, to main tain pur position In peace nnd In war, we must Insure business and industrial pros perity. This can be done; GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY. "By a regulation of industry aimed at promoting Its growth and prosperity, and a just distribution of its returns; by a con. servatlon and development of our national resources for tho gopd of all; by the re establishment of our merchant marine by tne development of a system of interstate national highways; by making a new stand. nra of governmental efficiency through a complete civil service system; a national budget and the destruction of 'pork barrel' legislation; by the creation of a permanent f ,? tarlff con"nl3slon, with a view of in telligently and scientifically adjusting the tariff so as to build up rather than destroy American industry," The protective system Is essential to our national prosperity Tremendous new pressure will be thrown upon our Indus tries after the war by the highly mobilized production of Europe. At all times con ajtlons of competition, must be equalized between our own and foreign countries We can only get the protection we need through the use of exact and complete Knowledge unaffected by prejudice and pol itics. Wo can only secure that knowledge at all times and when needed through such ft commission. MERCHANT MARINE, The Industrial Issues are chiefly national. The present and certain future make It Im perative that regulation and promotion of industry, and especially of transportation and foreign, trade, be national, not local. Only Federal power can work justice to capital and labor throughout the nation. Only national authority can mobilize In dustry for defense, as a nation's needs de mand. It, LOYAI4 SPIRIT ESSENTIAL Beneath a structure of military and economic, strength must be the spirit of the People, a, deep loyalty and undivided al legiance to America, the, land which has Jrelconita us and our immigrant fore father. If that foundation ceases to en HJ5 wt oaU " hger be a nation. . m e twin m uu juauorm plain .puiuKia tn iiauosai exisutneo, 'fny par i"" niimnjiMi, mom mn mgrea na C isa. rasjr pjoom laB&t urgent and Immediate need Is for their per manence. We have had ample experience with tho promlsar; with wordB nnd n. bitter tnste of words retracted. We must choose a man who not nlone by words but by past deeds gives guaranty that ho can and wilt make these good. The Issue Is one of men. In the midst of world changes lunparalleled In history, we cannot forecast tho problems which will confront our Government during tho war and at its end. Wo therefore need as Presi dent a leader who knows the nation ; a man who nets. If we continue to stand for words as above deeds, for fnnoy as nbove facts, we Bhall receive nnd merit tho fate that surely awaits tho man or tho people who do not fnco the truth. Wo will meet and work with any man or party who sees a nation's needs and puts forth a leader fit to meet It We will accept no less In plan, or In tho man, anil we hereby solemnly charge upon those who place party and politics nbovo country tho responsibility for n nation's failure, sac rificed to Bctf-lntercst nnd spoils.

It Is expected that there will be a fight on the floor of tho convention, tomorrow afternoon over the permanent chairmanship. Walter P. Brown. national committeeman from Ohio, has been slated for the place and will Be recom mended by the permanent Organization Committee of the convention. The extremists among the Progressives, however, the men who want Colonel Roose velt and nobody else for the presidential nominee, have a well-organized plan afoot to give the gavel to Governor Hiram John son, pf California. Johnson has a power ful backing among the delegates, as was evidenced at yesterday's gathering. ROOSEVELT GETS TARHEEL VOTE Judge Pritchard, of Asheville, Indorsed for Vice. President RALEIGH.

ALL YELLING RECORDS SHATTERED; "" OTHERS SAFE AT MOOSE CONVENTION Three Minutes of Business and Three Hours of Shouting, Says Maxwell, Sport Editor Gives Recipe for Oratory. Runs Into Lardner and They Exchange Forecasts By ROBERT W. MAXWELL Sports Editor KvB-dNO Ltixirn rmtcAno. Juno 8 To bo a successful delegate these stormy days, It Is necessary for one to go to eoliego and win his "O. Y. meaning official yellcr. College Is tho very best placo to go, becauso It Is there that the vocal athletes get their early training. Tho Progressives, or Mooscrs, or Third Party Guys, or whatover they aro called, started a convention yesterday nnd the delegates spent tho entire nftornoon In seeing who could shout tho loudest. They opened the meeting with a few faint "hoo rays," Just to try out their voices, and grew stronger as tho session progressed. Whon they thought they were equal to the task, these gentlemen, representing every Stato In this glorious Union, started out for tho vocnl marathon record nnd busted It Into smithereens They kept It up for ninety-two minutes by our clock, which, to our mind, la somo record. It also made the meeting n huge buccoss. Now if these delegates had gono to col lego nnd spent most of their time cheering their favorites on tho football field or tennis court, they would have profited by tho preliminary training nnd be cheering yet. All of which further proves that young men constantly are passing up chances to bo famous. After looking over ono convention in this city we havo discovered tho sjstem used In tho big league. All conventions are divided unequally Into two parts, business and yelling. Yesterday they had threo minutes of business and three hours of jelling, which Is a fair average. If tho yelling had been eliminated, wo would havo enjoyed ourselves Immensely nnd returned home much earlier. FORMULA FOR ORATORY. Rut still. It Is a swell system for tho speakers. The orator nervously steps for ward, perspiring like the outside of an Ico water pitcher on a hot day. Ho shifts from one foot to the other, clears his throat and begins with tho old standby: "Ladles nnd gentlemen, I am a man of few words and many of them " whon he Is Interrupted by a flock of cheers. When the choerlng ends, he has collected his thoughts and goes on until he finds him self slipping Then he rings In the Grand Old Flag, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roose velt, or anything else that Is sure to get a hand, 1 until ho feels confident that he can resume. It's a great system, and how they do work it I Vlo Murdock, tho Patrick Henry from ICnnsas, was first to put It across, nnd his act went big. Ho started by calling the delegates Christian soldiers, saviors of the nation and everything, and they liked It. Vlo got lots of cheers and when ho named Raymond Robins, of Illinois, temporary chairman, Ray came in for his share. Tho working members of the convention were getting into good shape by this tltno and tho cheering was fast and furious. Then came the big stuff. Mr. Robins started to read an extemporaneous speech and sailed through the first paragraph with out a hitch. The hundreds of upturned faces In the vast amphitheatre breathlessly took In every word and appeared to enjoy It. SPEECH HALTED. Mr. Robins smiled kindly and started on the second lap when he stumbled over the name of a well-known gentleman who resides in OyBter Bay, N. Y., whom he referred to as "the foremost citizen of the world." That stalled something. There was a ripple of applause In ono corner of the auditorium, and It grew in volume until every delegate In the place was standing on his seat, Jumping up and down In the aisles or. making a rush for the platform, cheering wildly all the time. It was a demonstration that surpassed the scene In 1912, when the G. O. P, delegates "raised the roof" for 57 minutes at the Coliseum, when a woman In white started tho stampede for "Teddy," Robins tried to preserve order, but soon gave up the attempt and sat down to read over and rehearse his opening address. The cheering continued and tho speaker had time enough to write nnother speech or go out and get somo lunch Then camo tho big parada. Tho Penn sylvania delegation, seated near tho stago and headed by Bill Fllnn, of Pittsburgh, marched behind n bnnncr bearing Roose velt's picture and under It," Wo gavo Teddy 445,000 In 1912." Other States felt In lino. Climbed upon tho stngo and tho perfectly good opening nddrcss was Indefinitely post poned, MUSICAL REINFORCEMENTS. After working under wrnps for 10 min utes, tho delegates took off their coats and started out for tho record. They began to weaken after an hour, but tho band assisted with pntrlotlc airs until tho clanger point was passed. After 92 minutes of bedlam. Mr. Robins walked to tho centio of tho Btnge and swatted tho tablo lustily with his gavel and tho hurricane subsided The tired cheerers sank back In their scats, proud of their accomplishment, and rested their swollen throats and hoarso voices whllo listening to tho remainder of tho opening nddrcss Tho Mooscrs and Moosottcs delivered a message to Messra Perkins, Straus, Par ker, Cortclyou, Garfield and tho other ring masters In tho show that they would not stand for a compromise candidate. It took them ninety-two minutes to do It, but It was unanimous Judging from tho dem onstration, the Mooscrs will stand for ono of the following candidates: Theodore Roosevelt. Tho Colonel Tho Rough Rider. T. R. Tho mnn from Oyster Bay. Over In the other convention things went along with machlne-llko precision A gon tlemnn named Harding, from Ohio, made tho opening "get-together" address, and It was received with as much enthusiasm as n Tourth of July speech on Christmas Day. Tho carefully selected delegates sat through It without even protesting. Despite tho rainy day the stands were full, and Boon after tho session started a sign bearing tho letters "S R. O " was placed on tho outside. When wo arrived a bedraggled, dripping stranger was look ing it over. GOOD OLD STEAM ROLLER. "What docs that sign mean?" he nsked. "Steam-roller operating," replied a gentle man wearing a Roosevelt badge who also had been denied admittance. As wo said yesterday, it is a difficult thing to squeeze a statement out of the leading politicians here. We strolled through the lobby of the Congress Hotel before the conventions and ran Into many prominent persons, a thing hard to avoid If they were In the same room. None would even comment on tho chances of the candidates, and we wero about to give It up for a bad Job when we crashed Into Ring Lardner, nnother sport writer, who also was Inflicted with temporary politics. "Who do you think will win?" we asked. "I don't like to say anything In public what can bo used against me," replied Lardner, "but I think Jess WHIard can beat Hughes, Roosevelt, Fairbanks and the rest of the gang with one hand tied behind his back." YOU KNOW ME, BOB "But Jess ain't running for nothing," he continued, "so I will make my prediction and you can use It In your paper. Then you can tell me what you think, and I'll put It In my paper because my paper don't care what It prints, either. Now get this: "I think Governor Hughes will be nom inated on the flrst or second ballot for this reason. You remember a year or so ago, when everybody was craz.y about Mrs. Castle and tried to look like her? Well, the delegates are all trying to look like Gov ernor Hughes now, and if they go a few more days without any attention from a bnrber well, you see what I am getting at," CONVENTION BAND, TRUE AND TRUSTY, IS NOISE MASTER OF REPUBLICANS Professor Weil Heads Thunderous Aggregation Designed to Suppress Too Talkative Delegates or Add Delicate Touches to Various Situations By GEORGE MARTIN COLISEUM, CHICAGO, June 8, It is the band In the hanging basket up on the wall at the far end of the hall that is really running this Republican convention. There can be no delegate so obstreperous, no burst of applause so thunderous, no hullaballoo so hullaballoollous, but It can be ta-ra-ra boora-de-ay-ed out of existence by one burst of comph-ta-tas from Prof. William Well and his welly wind Jamming wonders. Professor Well, a most gorgeous roan In white duck and gold medals, with a mop of ironigray hair that lie flops tellingly in either 4-4 or 6-8 time, has a phone at his eloquent elbow, the other end of which (meaning the phone, not the elbow) rests upon' the chairman's platform, miles away down in the middle of the National Com mittee. The president of the band, which is leased, owned, operated and controlled by the people of Chicago, has a name that sound like the Interlude to a ragtime one step Colonel William Nelson Pelowze. America meet Colonel Pelowze. Jn addition to presldentlng the band he bosses all the convention ushers and he also assistant grand marshaled the Chi cago preparedness parade. Colonel Pelowe America Now the way the band runs tho con vention Is this: T Professor Well, who, as a frenzied di rector, can- make the catapulting Creators bite holes la his baton for envy, gets a tele phone tip from the chairman as to what ha wants done to the convention; then he and hUt band boys do It The formula la something Ilka bls. gqueJeJUng o.

Following is today's program for tho Progressive National Convention: Convention called to order at 2 o'clock. Prayer by tho Rev. John Timothy Stone. Report of the Committco on Per manent Organization. Address of permanent chairman. Report of Committco on Rules and order of business. CHICAGO, Juno 8. A fight haB de veloped in tho pcrmnncnt organization committee of the Progressive party over the naming of a permanent chair man. It is conceded by n majority of the committee that Raymond Robins, temporary chairman, will not be named. This action will not be meant as a slap at Robins, it was stated, but to recog nize some other leading light in the party. The permanent organization commit tee after a brief meeting this morning adjourned until 1 o'clock this afternoon. The Platform adopted by the Pro gressive party is printed on Page 2. By GEORGE T. FRY CHICAGO, Juno 8 Whllo yesterday was a red, whtto and bluo fight In tho open for IlooseNclt, today assumed tho character of a gum-shoo expedition against tho Intrench' ments of tho Old Guard. A small, but willing bunch of hand grenado throwers, wearing masks against tho asphyxiating gas of tho oncmy, wont over to see If tho regu lars had been sufficiently pulverized by the Hoosoielt demonstration of tho day before to harken unto reason. Frankly, tho rank nnd file did not hope that tho expedition would como bnck with "tho goods," but It hoped nevertheless and the leaders Insisted that the Old Guard would surrender and namo the Colonel as a harmony nomlneo before It got through. It was reported for tho tenth time that tho Colonel would come over In person to lead tho fight. Ono may wrlto his own ticket on that report. Tho answer to any question on the subject must como from Ojster Bay. The actual convention work of the Moose today Is scheduled to be confined to the following bill of political fare: 1. Playing tho George M. Cohan stuff off tho boards with flags and band and song. 2. Adopting the platform, so cut and sewed that no Old Guard choice can hopo to get into tho garment 3. Singing "Onwnrd, Christian Sol diers" and "When Teddy Comes Marching Home," nnd then adjourning until tomorrow, when the big rocket Is due to ascend. The gum-shoe expedition working for the ultimate triumph of the Oyster Bay leader started In last night with the explosion of n few mines In minor delegations. They reported to tho wnltlng Moose that n few craters had been occupied nnd that pros pects were good. But tho tangible evi dences of success In forcibly draggtng-the guard to the seat of repentance for 1912 wero not very strong. Indeed, the night brought evidence of more bitterness In some directions. Mayor Bill Thompson's city payroll, headed by n band that cost real money, Invaded the Moose precincts, where a faithful crowd was trying to sing "Teddy's bear" to the accompaniment of a mechanical organ, nnd drowned the barber shop quartet and tho faithful chorus of delegates. It was rain ing and tho Moose wero wet nnd In no mood to bo trifled with by any mere favorite son. Since the Invasion wan made In the name of Sherman, kind ostensibly for his boom, tho Moose sharpened their horns and rushed across tho street to the Congress Hotel and broko Into n Sherman seance. Just by way of repilsal. A Texas statesman of tho Moose camp slugged a Chlpago city employe, bringing tho first claret of tho big contest. Tho Moose yelled nnd there was a starting point for some more har mony talk, based upon tho Idea that It ono really wants peaco ono must fight It is welt to keep this Incident In mind. Tag It as tho views of tho rnnk nnd file, which Is hero for the express purpose of doing the otlng on tho question of nom inating Roosovolt Whllo tho leaders, hcadod by Georgo W Perkins, William Allen White, Victor Murdoclc and Hiram Johnson, held out tho olive branch, tho average Moose delegato hunted a brick. Perkins ct nl , aided and abetted by whatever occult force George B. Cortelyou brought along, kept tolling tho lesser lights that tho Old Guard was In extremis, and that nit tho machlno now required was the services of a good, conscientious confessor. Inured by long practlco to hearing untoward revelations of misspent lives. In a nutshell, tho Mooso declared the big stick had been swung over the old guard; that It must now either tako tho Colonel or tnko chances of running a more or less favored son ngalnst two "other candidates, nnd that tho nomination of the Colonel probably Friday is n foregone conclusion for tho Progressives. In thlB connection, the solemn pledgo of Raymond Robins was recalled as Important James H. Garfield had moed to adjourn. Scenting a schomo to delay the nomination, a hundred dele gates uoro Instantly on their feet shouting, "No." "I pledgo you," said the chairman, "that nothing shall bo dono to prevent tho regu lar nnd orderly doing of things for which you havo como together." On this rock Of assurance, tho situation roated whon the convention crowd began coming together today. DELAWARE DELEGATON SPLIT OVER DU PONT Republicans at Chicago Make Fight on Wilmington Man for Committee Placo CIIICAGd, Juna 8 A split and a dead lock have tied up the Delaware delegation to the Republican Convention over tha question of national committeeman for next year and put In jeopardy the candi dacy of General T. Coleman duPont, pres ent committeeman, who Is seeking the presidential nomination. Ills cousin, Al fred I. duPont It Is said, opposed his re election. The vote for committeeman was three for du Pont nnd threo for Charles Warner. Those said to havo voted ngalnst du Pont at the caucus are W. Edmund Mitchell, Alfred I, du Pont and R. R. Vale, while John W, Herlng, Aldcn R. Benson and ex Governor S, S. Penowlll supported du Pont. Mr. Mitchell admitted that ho was op poBed to du Pont for committeeman, but announced that he wished to deny In hi own behalf and that of Congressman Miller that du Pont's name would not bo pre sented to the convention. "I don't know where the report origi nated that Mr, du Pont's namo would not be placed before tho convention," ho said. "He will have five votes of our delegation." The New Jersey delegation, headed by David Balrd, of Camden, Is seated in the second group of delegates, immediately be hind Illinois. POLITICS DOWNS MILLINERY Women nt Chicago Convention Forced to Removo Hats . CHICAGO, Juno 8. Women visitors to tho Republican nnd Progressive National Conentlons havobecn ordered to removo their hats. The women delegates set tho style for spectators by wearing small bon nets and by taking them oft when they were on tho floor ot the convention. "This Is a political show, not a millinery exhibition," said a male delegate "Every; ono should be given a chanco to see tho show without having his view obstructed by a hat In front" No formal order for the removal of hats, however, had been Issued by the Committee on Arrangements.
