BIG CONVENTION ACCLAIMS BIRTH OF THIRD PARTY

Roosevelt Given Great Ovation As He Addresses National Progressive Convention. BEVERIDGE ALSO CHEERED • ■ 1 Former Senator Is Made Temporary Chairman and Delivers Keynote Speech, Which Is Enthusiastically Received by Delegates and Spectators. Chicago, Aug. was a few minutes past noon today when Albert J. Beveridge, temporary chairman, called the national Progressive convention to order at its second session in the Coliseum. The delegate section on the main floor was well filled when the gavel fell and but few guests’ seats were unoccupied/ ■' Roosevelt Given Ovation.

Following the invocation by Rev. Father Andrew Spetz, Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who had been Invited to address the convention, was escorted to the platform. This was the signal for the greatest demonstration of the convention. Delegates and spectators were on their feet wildly cheering, and the tribute paid to Mr. Roosevelt was one of the most enthusiastic ever seen in a political convention. Throughout his address Mr. Roosevelt was interrupted with tumultuous applause and at its contusion another demonstration followed fully as noisy and enthusiastic as the one which preceded his speech. When the tumult had subsided the committees on permanent organization, credentials and rules made their reports.

New Party Is Born. The national Progressive party was launched Monday with a sensational attack upon the old parties. In the Coliseum, where Colonel Roosevelt’s followers held their first national convention, Albert J. Beveridge, former United States senator from Indiana, flayed the Democracy and the Republican organizations fore and aft. The hope of the future rests in the new party under the leadership of Colonel Roosevelt, according to the “keynote” he sounded as the temporary chairman of the convention. The Beveridge speech was the feature of the launching of the new party. The Indiana man was assisted in the birth of the new organization by United States Senator Dixon of Montana, chairman of the provisional national committee of the national Progressive party. The convention was called to order at 12:45 p. m. by Senator Dixon of Montana, national chairman of the new party. Dixon Gets First Applause. Senator Dixon, in his opening speech, got the first ' ripple of applause when he declared more representative delegates were seated in this than in any convention ever held. He referred to the dual sets of delegates sent giving one-half vote to each. He briefly reviewed the signing of the call for the convention. “In the last four weeks a nation has seen a new alignment of American politics,” said he. "Within four weeks, responding to our call, are assembled here today more delegate representations to a national convention than ever before assembled on American soil. “Today a new milestone will be erected in American politics. A new political party, knowing no north and no south, founded on the live issues of the day, will take Its place with those parties which live on the dead Issues of the past.”

Senator Dixon was interrupted when some one in the gallery shouted: "Hurrah for Teddy!" The delegates stood up and yelled. The applause was of short duration and the call for the convention war read. i Call Is Read. Senator Dixon then called on Secretary O. K. pavis to read the call for the convention. The reading was frequently interrupted by applause. The slogan “Thou shalt not steal!" appearing on the call, was greeted with cheers. The names of those signing the call were read and cheers greeted each name. When the reading of the call ended, Senator Dixon called on Rev. T F Dornblazer, who offered prayer. When the minister , had been praying for more than fifteen minutes the delegates interrupted with applause and shouts of “Amen.” in Conclusion he led the entire assemblage in the 1 Lord’s prayer, delegates and galleries joining, Beveridge Is Introduced. Ex-Senator Beveridge was introduced as temporary chairman at 1:30 anAd applause. “He was heralded as the next governor of Indiana,” by Senator Dixon. He was escorted to the platform by Governor Johnson of California, Governor Carey of Wyoming, Governor Vessey of South Dakota and Frank H. Funk of .Illinois, third ticket candidate for governor of Illinois. “The Progressive party stands for a nobler America," was his first sen-

tence, and he got a cheer from the audience. It was renewed when he said: “We stand for mutual helpfulness instead of mutual hatred.” When he declared the Progressive party was going to set the south men free from sectionalism the delegates stood up and yelled. Tariff Question Brings Jeers. Hoots and jeera greeted the mention of President Taft's name when Mr. Beveridge referred to the president’s stand on the tariff question. “Who has forgotten the Payne-Ald-rich law, which Mr. Taft says is the best ever made?" Mr. Beveridge asked.

“If all others have forgotten Ita iniquities, the interests which made millions by it have not,” he declared. He arraigned the Republican and Democratic parties for their attitude on rhe tariff.' He told what would be the standof the national Progressive party. The audience without discrimination greeted It with a chorus of “toos.” *

The hoots were renewed when the Indiana man referred to President iafts declarations in his speech of acceptance when he said the Progressive movement was socialistic. W hen Mr. Beveridge finished the floor and galleries were on their feet cheering. The fife and drum corps Joined in the din. In the band stand the cornet started up "My Country, Tis of Thee,? to air accompaniment of Roosevelt shouts. .

Sing the Republic’s Hymn. Capping the climax of enthusiasm, the delegates and spectators stood en masse and sang the “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” John L Hamilton of Hoopeston, 111., was then recognized to read the rules of the temporary organization. Call of the roll by states was ordered for each chairman to report the members of the various standing committees. Mr. Roc«evelt was invited to address ' the convention Tuesday at 12 o’clock. James R. Garfield of Ohio made the motion. It was put and declared car- ; vied. A committee of fifteen to invite the colonel was authorized. At 3:37 p. m. adjournment was taken.

Never In the history of American politics has there been a convention attended by so many delegates. From New York state 200 visitors and delegates were In attendance. Former Democrats lined up for Roosevelt from the Empire state are: Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, Francis J. Lantry and Havier. Timothy Woodruff, chairman of the delegation, declared it to be the most representatlve body of men ever sent by his state anywhere. Blue and Gray Represented. Among the fifty delegates from Tennessee are two men who strikinglyportray the makeup of the new party in that state. Majj-Gen. Hugh McDowell, commanding the United Confederate Veterans of Tennessee, arrived arm-in-arm with E. J. Boynton of Lawrenceburg, a former officer in the Federal army. William Flinn of Pittsburg arrived late with the last of the large delegation from his state. The enthusiasm of Pennsylvania delegates was characteristic of that of other eastern states. Missouri, with a quota of sixteen delegates, sent sixty-four members of the new party. All asked to be seated as delegates. Oklahoma, with an allotment of ten delegates, had forty registered at Its headquarters. Kansas sent only a few more than its quota, because nearly every Progressive of the state remained to engage in the state primaries.

HAIL COLONEL AS NEXT PRESIDENT

Roosevelt Almost Overwhelmed as He Reaches Chicago. MAKES SPEECH FROM AUTO Declares He Is Glad to Return to City Because It Is to Attend Birth, Not Death of ’ Party.

(Chicago, Aug. 6.—Theodore Roosevelt was given a greater demonstration on his arrival in Chicago than was ever before accorded him In this city. Long before the Twentieth Century limited pulled hfs car into the LaSalle street station the streets and the depot were crowded by thousands of enthusiasts. , When the colonel stepped from the car a wave of cheering, with cries of “Our next president,” surged through the railroad station to Van Buren street and thence toward the Congress hotel, to which Colonel Roosevelt was driven.

Wears Gray Sombrero. Frack H. Funk, Progressive nominee for governor of Illinois, seized the colonel by one arm as he alighted from the car; the 1 colonel’s secretary, Frank Harper, took his place at the other side, and a flying squadron of Chicago police opened a passage through the gathering which had bioken through the line formed by the railroad guards. As Colonel Roosevelt progressed he waved a gray sombrero to the various crowds which became the centers of new outbursts of applause. Along the route to the hotel the applause was continuous. In front of the Congress hotel, where another great crowd had assembled, Colonel Roosevelt made the first speech of the present visit Standing in his automobile he said: Comes to Birth, Not Death. “I am very pleased to be with you in Chicago again, and this time at the birth of a party, and not at the death of one. I am convinced that the people will not stand for the convention of seven weeks ago, especially as It was against the interests of the people. By November the men nominated at that convention will not be a factor in the race.

“The days of the corrupt political boss and the crooked financier who stands behind the boss and the newspaper owned by the boss and financier are over. “The channels of information have been choked by the opponent of popular government in the effort to prevent the people from finding out what we stand for. I Intend to see that the facts are known, and that the people find out what this movement really is, and decide for themselves what their government shall be.” Colonel’s Rooms Changed. Once In the hotel, Colonel Roosevelt’s rooms, had to be changed on account of the crowd of visitors. He was finally settled in suite 1,248 and a cordon of police and undersecretaries was stationed to keep away the insistent people. Mrs. Roosevelt accompanied her husband to Chicago, as she did at the June convention of the Republican party.
