NAMES ROOSEVELT
f niitlniifil from flr?t page
into the hall, headed by Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, and the Minnesota dele?
gation, which joined the California delegation on the stage.
The New Jersey delegation from the convention followed Minnesota,
, headed by ex-Governor Port.
"Here comes Texas," shouted some one, a** Cecil Lyon, defeated Texas
leader in the Republican convention, made Ins way down the aisle with Sidney
Bicber, national committeeman of the District of Columbia.
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Mr.?. Nichclsj Longworth. Miss Ethel. Kermit
and Archie Roosevelt arrived early an': occupied a box near the stage. When
tnc Roosevelt family appeared Mrs Roosevelt and Mrs. Longworth waved and
smiled a welcome in recognition of the cheers. While this demonstration was
going on some of the Ohio delegation arrived and received a tumultuous wel- I
come.
Mississippi Roosevelt delegites entered the hall fresh from a meeti/ig in
their headquarters, and announced the election of S. D. Redmond, of Jackson,
as the national committeeman of the new party. Massachusetts delegates, with
their cry "Massachusetts, Roosevelt. 18. first, last and all the time," next arrived.
POLICE STOP PERKINS
When George W Petkins started to mount th? "companionway" to the
stage a policeman stopped him. and he had some difficulty in explaining his
right to a stage seat. Mrs. Roosevelt, who witnessed the encounter, was ob
served to lauph heartily.
When the hall had been packed the entire audience joined in singing ''
"America," after which the Roosevelt delegates greeted Governor Johnson as
he opened the formal part of the meeting. The Governor was preparing to
speak when the Oklahoma delegation arrived. By this time the non-arrival of
the Pennsylvania delegation was causing comment.
"To any man with red blood in his veins," said Governor Johnson, "it's
always a pleasure to fight a fraud, and especially to fight a fraudulent convention.
? The delegates present represent a majority of the legally elected delegates to
I th? Republican National Convention. They propose to do right here and now
just what they were elected to do."
The Governor's speech was intetrupted with a wild burst of cheering.
"We came here with the mandate of the people of California. You came ?
here with the like design?to carry out not the will of a rotten boss in Pennsyl- j
vania or a crooked one in New York, or a United States Senator in Massachu
?Mttg, but to carry out the mandate of the people to nominate Theodore Roose- i
velt By a fraud he has been robbed of that which was his. We. the delegates
? free and untrammelled, have come here to nominate him to-night."
These wotds brought the great audience to its feet with a shout. Governor
Johnson then described the Rooseve*t campaign for the nomination.
Controller Prendergast w,?; then introduced and made the nominating
speech. He said in part:
"Though we here to-night are Republicans, we have not ceased to be
i American citizens, if ] have to choose between party affiliations and my con
. science. I'm going with my conscience every time. According to any honest
i rule of delegate, ?he candidate who had the largest number of votes was Colo?
nel Roosevelt.
"We nlace him in nomination to-night?we. the people of the United States
' ?the sovereign voters of th'*. land will elect him in November."
Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, read the resolution nominating Colonel Roose
1 velt. It was adopted with a cheer. Colonel RooseveU was escorted to the hall
I by the notification committee, accompanied by Senator Dixon and Governor
Stubbs of Kansas As the colonel enter?*d the hall there was a storm of ap
: plause. The people leaped to their feet with a ?bout, and for five minutes there
wa* pandemonium. Colonel Roosevelt mounted the platform and waved his
i hands, smiling at the reception. When he said he would accept the nomination
I there was another frenzied demonstration.
"Governor Johnson." said Mr. Roosevelt, "you and you the honestly
elected delegates, and you my friend! contrast this with the Coliseum conven?
tion this afternoon. Mark the difference between a people's convention and a
convention operated with a steam roller.
"It is fitting that a convention born in theft should go out in theft, because
I understand when half of the Massachusetts delegation refused to vote the
temporary chairman, following in the footsteps of the National Committee, saw
,?n opportunity to get two delegates that had not been got and seized so that a
sti.len convention should end appropriately."
The colonel expressed his gratification to the delegates who stood by him
and made Ins set speech of acceptance.
When Colonel R evelt ished there was a wild rush for the platform, and
? se.re oi mer scrambled for the ?eaves of the colonel's manuscript where he
had dropped them. The i Meers almost drowned out the blare of the band, which
continued to plav. "There'll he a Hot Time in the Old Town To-night"
rernoi lohnion di missed the meeting, aiter calling on the delegate, to
meet to-morrow afternoon?
"I know it is Sundsy," he said, "but our work is holy work."
Within twenty four hour*? a call ?I to be issued for an Illinois convention
R . ell supporters, ??' which a Mate organization will be formed.
Medill McCormn k. ff Chi'ago. ?asid that calls in other states would be
issued in rapid lUcce?ion, i I thai within ! tew weeks the independent party
would be orgsniied and in the field in every section of the country
The method ?-if opei ition in the varioua states is still to be settled. In some
1 ia*es the Republicsn candidates for state and national offices, with the ex
1 ieptir'n of President and Vice President, will be indorsed, with the idea of pre?
serving the state Republil in organisation! which are in sympathy with the
Roosevelt movement.
In such ?ise-. sn efforl ?rill be made to pledge the candidates for electors
? to vote foi Roosevelt ?? ithout *cginl to the Republican national ticket
In states in which the organizations are opposed to Colonel Roosevelt, it
i? planned to name entire new tickets, probably under the emblem of the Pro?
ve party. Mi. MrCormi?,'?-. ?said that various names might be adopted in
different states, to meet local conditions.

and elections by unsettinp the results at
their own pleasure.
The convention which to-dav elotes its
discreditable career here in i'hlcago rep?
resents a negligible minimum of the rank
and tile m ihe Republican party. But
what it has done and what it has provided
f"i the future offer material for very seri?
ous consideration. Th?? old national ?com?
mittee, chosen by the politicians
years nao, made up a temporary roll, in?
cluding some ninety fraudulent delegates
who had not been ele, teil by the people,
and thereby they controlled s majority of
the convention This fraudulent tempo?
rary roll in turn chose a fraudulent cre?
dentials ?-ommlttee, and all the fraudulent
d?'lega'es, voting mi one mother's ?ase.
therehv made up the permanent roll whl'h
constituted the fraudulent convention.
Then this fraudulent convention c?KHMM I
S new and not l-SSS fraudulent national
committee.
Now, gentlemen, there are those who
ask us to stay in the party which Iihs .iust
fraudulently nominated tor the Presidency |
a man who inspired and profited by the
fraud Thev ask US to submit to Infam'
in the present on the ground that ?perhaps ;
we may be able to prevent such Infam)
in the future They Mem to forget that
the vicious circle has been completed.and
that this fraudulent convention has pro?
vided in Its fraudulent!) chosen national;
committee s means whereby thc-y ran
hope ori'f again four years hen? e and with
like impunity to overthrow the ??ill ?if the
majority of the voters at the primar ?
The national committee, over whose se? I
lection and retention In office the voters
have no control whatever, makes up the,
fraudulent temporary rol I cal I which con?
trola the national convention. The na?
tional convention thus fraudulently made,
up names another national commltiee, and i
ihe new national committee, const I
b\ th?' same elements that constituted the
old one, h;i- already shown bj Its action?,
that it ani be trust?.?] four years hence
to repeat the misbehavior of the ol?| on? i
The vicious circle must be broken. The
powerful crook political bosses have and
ought to have no feeling but contempt
for the honest man who submits to their
violent and unscrupulous dishonesty. If
we permit fraud of this kind to triumph
we do a shameful thing, and show eithe
that we are feint of heart or dull o* con?
science.
As for Hi? principles for which I stand,
! have ?t then f??rth fully in the many
i.ches I have made during the ia-f four
months, while making an active contest
for the nomination, which I won, and out
Of u hi? h I have been ?heated by the men
who feared to ?see these principles reduced
t" action
[fundamentally, these principles are:
?First, that the people have the right to
rule themselves, and i-an do go better
than any outsiders can rule them, anc;
se?ond. that it is their duty so to nil*
in a spirit of |ustlce toward every man
and every woman within our borders, and
f" n*? the government, so far as possible,
a- an Instrument for obtaining not merely
political, but industrial justice.
W i do nol stand for these principles as
mere abstractions any more than we stand
f.ir honesty and fair play as mer? abstrae
ti.'ns w. .k to apply them p-a?-tlcally
In ever) relation ?>f life, where we ?have
power We -faiifl for honesty and fair

dut/ m inaugurating this movement, for
the oermanent S'.e?*ess of practices such
.*s have ebtnin?*d in the fraudulent ?con?
vention that has |ust closed its sittings

patriotic of duties when we set our faces
