"This Is Not Politics; This Is

Dixon and Others, Spell
bound by Enthusiasm.
Chicago, Aug. 8. After Colonel Theo
dore Itoosevelt of New York and Gov
ernor Hlratn W. Johnson of California
hod been nomlnnted respectively for
president and vice president the dele
gates to the Progressive convention
left for their respective homes confi
dent that their standard bearers had
more than a fighting chance for vic
tory. Both nominations had been made by
acclamation amid scenes of enthusi
asm. The convention had been in ses
sion since 10 o'clock in the morning.
The delay in making the nominations
jwas caused by exhaustive discussions
over the platform in the committee on
resolutions.
Colonel Itoosevelt was put in nomina
tion by Comptroller William A. Preu
dergast of New York and the nomina
tion had been seconded by Judge Ben
jamin Lludsey of Colorado, Miss Jauo
Addams of Chicago, Alexander T.
Hamilton of Georgia, General Iloratlo
C. King of New York, Colonel P. Lloyd
of Florida, General John II. McDowell
of Tennessee, Henry J. Allen of Kan
sas, ex-Governor Garvin of Rhode
Island, John J. Sullivan of Ohio and
Bobert S. Fisher of Arizona.
Governor Johnson hud been put In
nomination by Judge John M. Parker,
Democrat, of New Orleans, and the
nomination hud been seconded by C. S.
Wheeler of California, Jumes It. Gar
field of Ohio, Baiubrldgo Colby of New
York, Frederick Landis of Indiana,
Itaymond Bobbins of Illinois, Gilford
Plnchot of Pennsylvania, Governor
Vessey of South Dakota, "William Fllnu
of Pennsylvania and John B. Clede, a
negro, of New York.
Great Audience Sings Doxology.
Colonel Roosevelt, arm In arm with
poveruor Johnson, appeared before the
convention, and they were greeted
with the wildest plaudits, a very bed
lam of a demonstration, and formally
accepted the nominations. The great
audience of 10,000 souls sang the Dox
ology to the uccompaulmcut of a band,
the fife and drum corps, a quartet of
trombones and cornets, and with the
benediction the convention adjourned.
At that moment the banner wus
dropped from the gilders on tho roof
of the Coliseum with this legend:
Roosevelt and Johnson.
New Vork and California.
Hands across tho continent.
For there Is neither east nor west.
Border, nor breed, nor birth.
When two Btrorm men ttand face to
face.
Thouuh they camo from tho ends of the
earth.
From the very first moment to the
last this convention has hud the up
pearance of u great religious revival.
Senator Dl. aud others remarked at
the close of me scene:
"This is nut politics; this is religion."
Like Great Moral Movement.
On tho lust duy of tho convention all
tho sembluuco of a greut moral move
ment wus retained. At its opening
there wero but 0,000 In tho hall. It
wus raiulug aud muddy, but later In
tho day greut crowds filled tho Coli
seum. The first militant religious
melody sung by tho convention was,
"Onward, Christian Soldiers."
This was varied at times by the
"Battle Ilyuin of tho Republic" and
tho uutlouul melodies, ull of which wero
sung heartily, uluiost soulfully, by tho
audience. The musical efforts of the
convention havo Indeed been thrilling
ly Interesting.
When Comptroller Prendergast be
gan his speech nominating Roosevelt
ho was greeted as New York's nest
governor, aud from start to finish he
was generously npplauded. When ho
closed by Baying, "I present to you
Americu's greatest statesman and Hon
hearted citizen, Thoodoro Koosevolt,"
he turned on. another demonstration
ilmllar to that when Colonel Boose-
WILLIAM A. PRENDERGAST
New York Comptroller Who Made
Speech Nominating Rootovelt.
velt appeared and spoke before tho
convention.
There were thundering cheers, the
rolling music, the lings, the banners,
the lifers and the drummers, the bang
ing of the minute gun machine, yells,
shrioks, cheers, howls, In fact a very
crazy bedlam of enthusiasm. The
great audience sang tho "Red, Whlto
and Blue," "Onwnrd, Christian Sol
diers," "Star Spangled Banner," "My
Country, 'Tls of Thee," "Tho Battle
Hymn of tho Republic." "Dixie," and
at times turned and shouted a wel
come to Mrs. Roosevelt, who again
bowed and retired to a quiet corner
in her box. This timo tho demonstra
tion lasted forty-ono minutes.
North and South United.
Then came tho seconding speeches.
Although tho rules adopted by tho con
vention declare that no seconding
speech shall last longer than five min
utes all broke the rule except Miss
Addams and General King. The gen
eral in closing his brief remarks de
clared, "This Progressive party is de
termined that tho people of this coun
try shall not havo a government of tho
bosses, by tho bosses and for tho boss
es." Colonel Llnyd Is an old Confederate
soldier, with four Union bullets In him,
and at tho close of his speech General
King Hung his arms about Colonel
Lloyd, Indicating a fraternal feeling
between the north and the south, and
this brought out one of tho howllngest
demonstrations of the day.
Major General McDowell's speech
was another to tho effect that tho sec
tional feeling must bo obliterated. He
declared that Colonel Roosevelt was
the man to wipe out any remaining
prejudice or sectional lines, and ho
closed by saying:
"Confronting my brave comrade on
tho other side. I want to see this na
tion united."
This called for another wild scene.
Tho thousands sang "Dixie," the band
nud the trombones and tho cornets all
Joining In.
In due time, when tho seconding
sieeches were over, William D. Lewis,
dean of the Law school of tho Univer
sity of Pennsylvania, chairman of tho
committee on resolutions, read the plat
form. This document differs widely,
most drastically, from tho platforms of
tho Republican and Democratic nation
al parties. Especially does it condemn
the Payne-Aldrlch tariff law and the
Democratic tariff plank at Baltimore,
aud In addition it demands the Imme
diate repeal of tho Canadian reciproc
ity act
T. R.'s Speech of Acceptance.
Chicago, Aug. 8. Colonel Booscvelt,
in his speech accepting tho National
Progressive party's nomination for
president, said:
Mr. Chairman, and men and women
who In this convention represent the
high and honest purpose of tho people
of all our country, 1 como forward to
thank you from my heart for the honor
you havo conferred upon me. To say
that of course I accept. That I hold It
and now I am measuring my words, I
havo been president, I havo seen and
known much of life and I hold It by far
tho greatest honor and tho greatest 'op
portunity that has over como to mo to bo
called by you to tho leadership for tho
tlmo being of this great movement In
tho Interests of tho American people. And
friends, I wish now to say how deeply
sensitive I am to the way In which tho
nomination has como to mo and to tell
those who propojed and seconded my
nomination that I appreciate to tho full
tho Ugnlllcanco of having such men and
such a woman put ir.o In nomination, and
1 wish to thank tho convention for hav
ing given mo tho running mato whom It
has given.
I have a peculiar feeling toward Gov
ernor Johnson. Nearly two years ago,
after tho election of 1810, when what I
had striven to accomplish In New York
had como to nothing, and whon my
friends, tho enemy, exulted possibly pre
maturely over what had beaten me. Gov
ernor Johnson, 'in tho Hush of his own
triumph having Just won out,ewroto me
a letter which I shall hand on' to my chil
dren and children's children because of
what ttio letter contains, and because
of the man who wroto It; a letter of trust
and belief, a letter of ardent champion
ship from tho soldier who was at that
moment victorious, toward his comrade
who at that moment had been struck
down.
Hlo,h Praise For Governor Johnson.
In Governor Johnson we havo a man
hose every word is mado good by tho
fleeds that ho has done u man who at
the head of a great stato has practically
applied In that stato for tho benefit of the
people of that state tho principles which
wo Intend to apply throughout the Union
ob a whole. We havo nomlnateed tho only
type of man who ever ought to be nom
inated. As for tho vico presidency, we
have nominated a man tit at the moment
to be the president of the United States.
Friends, I havo como hero not to moke
any extended speech to you, merely to
thank you from the bottom of my heart
for tho honor you have conferred upoc
mi and to say that I appreciate It exact
ly as I knew that you meant It, for the
g.eatost chanco, the greatest gift, that
can be given to any mnn Is tho opportu
nity If he has the stuff In him to do
something that counts In the Interests of
the common good.
I appreciate to tho full tho burden of
responsibility, the burden of obligation,
that you have put upon me: I appreciate
to tho full that tho trust you Impo.o upon
mo can bo mot by mo only In ono way,
and that Is by so carrying mysolf that
you shall hnvo no cause to regret or to
feci nnhamod for tho action that you v.avo
taken this afternoon.
And, friends, with nil my heart and
soul, with every particle of high purposo
that Is In mn, I plfdgo you my word to do
everything I cnn. to put every pnrtlclo of
courage, of common senso nnd of strength
that I havo at your disposal and to cn
donvor so far ns strength Is given mo to
live up to tho obligations you havo put
upon mo nnd to endeavor to carry out In
tho interests of our wholo people tho poli
cies to which you havo today solemnly
dedicated yourselves to tho millions of
men and women for whom you speak.
I thank you.
Platform of Progressives.
Chicago, Aug. 8. The platform adopt
ed by tho National Progressive party
In part Is as follows:
Tho Progressive party, believing Hint no
people can Justly claim to bo a true de
mocracy which denies people rights on ac
count of sex. pledges Itself to the task of
securing equal suffrage to men and wo
men alike. We plodgo our party to a con
stitutional act that will compel strict lim
itation of all campaign contributions, ex
penditures and detailed publicity of both
before as well ns after primaries and elec
tions. We pledgo ourselves to work unceasing
ly In stnte and nation for effective legisla
tion looking to the prevention of Indus
trial nccldents, occupational diseases,
overwork, Involuntary unemployment nnd
other Injurious effects Incident to modern
Industry: the fixing of minimum safety
nnd health standards for tho various oc
cupations nnd the exercise of tho public
authority of state and nation, including
tho federal control over Interstate com
merce nnd tho taxing power to maintain
such standards; the prohibition of child
labor- minimum wage standards for work
ing women, to provide a "living wage" In
all Industrial occupations, tho general
prohibition of night work for women nnd
tho establishment of an eight hour day for
women and young prisoners; ono day's
rest In seven for nil wage 'workers; the
eight hour day In continuous twenty-four
Industries; publicity ns to wages, hours
and conditions of lnbor, full reports upon
Industrial accidents and diseases and the
opening to public Inspections all tnllles,
weights, measures nnd check systems on
labor products; standards of compensation
for death by Industrial accident nnd In
jury nnd trade disease which will transfer
the burden of lost earnings from the fam
ilies of working people to the Industry nnd
thus to tho community; the protection of
homo life against the hazards of sickness,
Irregular employment and old age through
the adoption of a system of social Insur
ance ndnpted to American use. Wo favor
the organization of the workers, women
and men, ns a means of protecting their
interests and of promoting their progress.
For Legal Procedure Reform.
Tho Progressive pnrty in order to secure
to the people a better discrimination of
Justice, and that means to bring about a
more general respect for the law and the
courts, pledges Itself to work unceasingly
for the reform of legal procedure and Ju
dicial methods. We believo that the lssu
anco of Injunctions In cases arising out of
labor disputes should bo prohibited when
such Injunctions would not apply when no
labor disputes existed.
We also believe that a person cited for
contempt In labor disputes except when
such contempt was committed In the ac
tual presence of tho court or so near
thereto as to Interfere with the proper ad
ministration of Justice should have a
right to a trial by Jury.
We are orposed to the so called Aldrlch
currency bill because Its provisions would
placo our currency nnd credit system In
private hands.
We believo In a protective tariff which
shall equalize conditions of competition
between tho United Btatcs and foreign
countries, both for the farmer and the
manufacturer, and which shall maintain
for labor an adequate standard of living
primarily tho benefit of any tariff should
be disclosed In the pay envelopes of the
laborer. Wo declare that no Industry de
serves protection which Is unfair to labor
on which It Is operating In violation of
federal law. Wo believe that tho presump
tion Is always In favor of tho consuming
public. Wo demand tariff revision because
tho present tariff la unjust to tho people of
tho United States. Fair dealing toward
tho people requires an Immediate down
ward revision of those schedules wherein
duties are shown to be unjust or exces
sive. Wo pledge ourselves to the estab
lishment of a nonpartisan scientific tariff
commission reporting both to tho presi
dent and to either branch of congress.

Constablo Swingle, who had Just re
turned from Wlldwood with a big
