BATTLE HYMNS ARE SUNG Demonstration -Lasts Four Minutes Longer Than That for Bryan In 1908 "Teddy and Safety V: First" Is Slogan. CHICAGO. Juno 7. The Progressive National convention opened in the Au ditorium today with a record-breaking: demonstration for Colonel Roosevelt. For an hour and 33 minutes the dele gates and spectators roared, shouted and cheered and applauded. They sans the Progressive battle hymns, paraded .the aisles and over the stage and howled down all attempts to check. The demonstration exceeded the pre vious record for such affairs of one hour and 29 minutes, established in the Democratic convention in Denver in 1908 in behalf of William J. Bryan, which had exceeded by four minutes the record made that same year In the Republican convention in Chicago when Colonel Roosevelt's supporters sought his nomination over William H. Taft. "Foremost Citlsen" Starts Cheering. Raymond Robins, temporary chair man of the convention, had spoken Just three sentences of his keynote speech when he mentioned Colonel Roosevelt's name. A wave of enthusiasm that amounted to nothing less than a paroxysm re sulted. "The foremost citizen of the world" was the characterization Robins used In connection with his mention of the Colonel's name. The response was in stantaneous. "We want Teddy!" roared the delegates and the demonstration was on. With umbrellas raised they began marching- about the halL They flowed upon the stage and wrung: Vic tor Murdock's hand as they filed by until the stalwart Kansan's collar was wilted. Hamilton Fish, Jr.. and another man seized a delegate bearing an American flag and carried him around the hall on their shoulders. Banners were torn from their places and stanch ions were lifted from the floor as the shouting host tramped around. Band Plays' Battle Hymns. Chairman Robins made several at tempts to quell the demonstration, but after a few raps of the gavel gave it up. The band chimed in with the Progressive battle hymns and soon the surging crowd was tramping the aisle's to the strains of "Onward, Christian Soldiers."

A proposal to use the uniformed no- lice to quell the demonstration was discussed among the leaders, but It was decided .that the experiment was too dangerous. By this time some of the enthusiasts who had been waving: ban danas became dissatisfied with their efforts, so they took off their coats and waved them about their heads. One delegate put a black slouch hat with a bandana around the rim on a tall pole and paraded around. "Whoop!" he roared. "She's in the ring." The delegates from the state of Washing ton wrapped an American flag about u oi rneir women memoers and car ried her up and down the aisles. . Other Western women took the en and for the next few minutes there was a continuous flasr demonstration. Mean while scouts came in with the report that the Republican convention at the Coliseum had adjourned and ' had not Deen marked by any SDecial enthusi asm. Their arrival was the signal for another outbreak. Chairman Robins finally gave up the gavel and took up a "big stick." The crowd caught the point and began to quiet down. The only suggestion of discord came a movement against the selection of Walter Brown, of Ohio, as perma nent chairman. Those behind it wanted xo present uovernor Johnson, of Call, f ornia, in Brown's dace. The r,mp nor quickly sent word that he would be a party to no discord. That ended it. The announcement of temporary com mittees followed and the first day's session of the convention was ended. The prediction that the leaders would not be able to hold their delegates from the nomination of Colonel Roose velt at the mention of his name had not materialised.

LEADER IS SOUGHT Chairman of Progressive Con vention Eulogizes T. R. ROBINS SOUNDS KEYNOTE Speaker Says Moose Are Willing to Face Temporary Defeat If Needs Be, Rather Than to Sacrifice Their Ideals. ATTDITORrDM HALU Chicago. June 7. Temporary Chairman. Raymond Rob- Ins, of the Progressive National in ventlon, made a bid for leadership to the delegates today -Jn his "keynote' speech, assailed the Imocratic policies, declared against organized Republican methods but asserted a willingness to foraret 1912 If the Republicans woulfl accept Progressive Ideas but declared that should the KeouDiicans reiuso it- do this the Progressives would willing ly wage their campaign, even m Lacing certain temporary deieat. His remarks were marked by ap plause throughout, at one time, at the outset, reaching a demonstration last- In a- an hour and 3o minutes when nr, Roosevelt's name was mentioned. Throughout the speech the idea was carried that the Progressives were looking for a leader and that Colonel Roosevelt is that leader, alt. .ODins said, in part: Tim ol tre and lermeni onni mnuit. tlon to the weak and opportunity to the Estrone.

From every section of this country there eatnered nere men 01 ieao.er.mp no character, auresardlng the tiea and hm ciatlons of a- lifetime, even of generations, willing to sacrifice power and influence and friendships, the profit of lives of industry and honor in order that they might unite with their fellows in spirit to bring a new force, a new Impulse, a new hope Into Amer-,-a r. nnTitln.. Thev enlisted for public serv ice behind the bravest and wisest leader of the people In our time, oemna tne loremost private citizen of the world Theodore Koosevelt. In this critical hour of our history only men who have the vision of a nation that shall be truly great, as well as powerful an -1 wealthy, can speak for all the people. But through all these weary months there has been one great voice steaaiastiy. cour ageously, without a shade of compromise, without a note of Indecision, calling upon nur hmdi. to reject the counsels of division and rally to ' the one common caused of America. It was not strange that this was the voice of our leader of 1912. It was not tranee that he spoke out when lesser states m.n feared to whisper, uncertain as they were alike of their own convictions and of the feelings or tne crowa. it is not strange that we who followed him four years ago muster once again In answer to his brave and faithful call. Defeat Hot Shirked. tn Tnanv old tlea were broken. Men who had been comrades were willing to part and suffer defeat rather than submit to what they felt were intolerable wrongs. We would not now recall nor enumerate the spe cial circumstances which gave birth to the Progressive party. Rancor from the lesser wrongs of brother to brother must be sunk to meet a common enemy of the household. In this day not the mere names of Repub lirirn or Democrat or Progressive should dl- i vide those who are brother in loyalty to the principles OI Americanism now imperiled oy alien ambition in other lands and alien thinking here at home. We believe that the need and opportunity of the time Is such that personal differences, partisan bitterness and local prejudices should be surrendered to serve the Nation's highest good. We should not be parted by mere names, how ever dear, nor oy past resentments, nowever Justified. i But we would solemnly, warn ajl those of an easy and accommodating political virtue that we will not surrender principle nor make unworthy compromise to gain a mean ingless and selfish political victory. We would rather face possible defeat fighting for our cause than to seek assured victory through moral treason to those high prin ciples and heroic souls that combined to make us the second party or this Nation in iv iz. -rne ,ou,uuo voters who followed our leader and espoused our cause-can be sue mented to a majority perhaps more easily unaer unitea Danners, out II need be the progressive standard will go forward alone. We cannot believe that a rule-or-ruln fac tion will dominate the political machlnarv of the historic party of Lincoln, and that they will prefer personal defeat and Na tional degradation to acceptance of the fore most leaaersnip in tne Nation. But In this day and hour it should be made plain that tne cnoice is in tneir nanaa and that the Judgment of the people will be unon th.lr ne.us. We are ready to keeD full and ren.ron. faith with the declaration of our National committee in January of the present year. But if our faith snail meet no resnonsa and we alone stand ready to meet the demands upon the patriotism of American Dolltlcal leadership, we shall not shirk the task. There are worse tnings tnan temporary defeat for great principles oi Human Justice and moral truth. Would any disinterested patriot untouched with partisan prejudice or personal feeling nesitate long to name tne leader best ntted to serve this cause t Bis name Is on tue lips of the Nation. Two great parties claim him as their own. He was our leader in 1912. He was the leader of the Republican party for many years. He was President of our Nation for seven years. There Is no man in America today who holds, as he does, aliKe the connuence of the American people and the ungrudging respect of every nation in the world. He has been a master politician, but he has refused ever to play politics with the destiny of his country. Salmon Fight Trust Suspected. WASHINGTON.

Sets may be seen and orders left at Are You Hesitating ? TIME is a PIRATE always at your elbow, threatening, bullying, forcing you to a decision. Most people, not very strong of will, let things go. They can't decide. They hesitate and lose out. . They never foresee, or grasp opportunities. Take two instances. After the long depression which ended about '96, came a tremendous wave of industrial pros perity to the United States. Anybody with half an eye could see that real estate would have a tremendous rise as well. It did it doubled and tripled in value. But there were not very many people who bought land for this big rise. Now if you want to buy a farm, you have to pay two or three times as much for it as you did ten or fifteen years ago. You pay dear because you hesitated. The great war in Europe is another example. Anybody could see that it would bring a tremendous scarcity in metals, chemicals, dyes and other things, and force high prices. It has. But very few people bought iron or copper, or quinine or dye-stuffs, for the inevitable rise. Now they pay dear. These are big instances. Every day brings lesser ones. There is one in front of you now. You can now buy the "Handy Volume" Issue of the new Encyclopaedia Britannica at one-third the price of the Cambridge University issue of the same work.
