Headed hy Taft.
CHICAGO, Juno 24. Plans for tho
progressive mass convention to bo
held probably la Chicago during tho
first week In August woro mndo to
day at a succession of conforenceo bo
twecn Colonel Roosevelt and tho
committee ot seven authorized at
Sunday's meeting of delegates In thu
Ftnrcntlno room In tho Congress
Hotel.
Although no announcement of the
membership of tho committee had
been made, Colonel Roosevelt went
to work at once, calling to his assist
ance Governor Hiram Johnson of
California, who was authorized to
name tho committee nnd who will bo
its chairman; James O. Garflold of
hlo; Judge Den Llndsey, of Colorado;
G. T. Taylor, state treasurer of Ton

Richmond Pearson of North Carolina;
Oscar Huntley of Alabama; Govcr-
Lowder, of North Dakota; George L.
Record, of Now Jersey; Charies K.
Merriam ot Illinois; Gilford Plnchot
and others.
In tho call for tho mass conven
tion, It Is mado plain, say members
of tho committee, that now movement
Is to be broadly non-partlBan.
Regardless of action to bo taken at
tho mass convention, It Is learned,
Colonel Roosevelt regards himself as
already the candidate of thoso states
In which he has received tho endorse
ment of presidential primaries.
In other states It Is anticipated
thnt the list of electors pledged to
vote for Rosovelt as tho candldato
of the progressive party will bo placed
on tho ballot by petition and In many
stntes there will bo completo state
tickets to contend with thoso claim
ing regunrlty and headed by Presi
dent Taft.
When asked If tho result of tho
democratic convention would havo
any result on his futuro course,
Colonel Rosovelt said:
"Whatover action tho democratic
party may tako will havo no effect
on my plans. I will not depart from
what I said Saturday.
"I will accept tho progressive
nomination upon a progressiva plat
form and I shall fight tho battle
through to tho end."
