OUTBURST FOR T. B.
SETS HEW RECORD
Progressives Thrown Into Tu
mult by Mention of 'World's
: Foremost Citizen.'
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

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." Despite the handicap of the
steps leading up into the balcony, the
demonstration spread there and soon

hangings and waved, bearing these in

"If Teddy was President, where would

"The people want T.' R., a regular
American."
"Why take chances? We know what
Koosevelt can do?
"We want Teddy."
Then the band switched to 'March

popular airs and the aisles became so
blocked that no one moved for several
minutes. While the marchers stood

side and their leaders demanded an
outdoor demonstration.
Woman Delegate Carried Around.
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

a continuous flasr demonstration. Mean

that the Republican convention at the
Coliseum had adjourned and ' had not

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.

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. The houi. of timid men are tm
anil tha heart, of the valiant are uplifted.
Four years 8EO brave deeds were done "in
Chicago. 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.

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. ' This phenomenally low price was possible only by making
contracts for an enormous printing, when prices were very low. Now prices for paper and printing and bind
ing have risen rapidly, unexpectedly, and we cannot obtain from the publishers any more sets at present prices.
After June 17th you will have to pay from $11 to $19 more per set for identically the same work, $11 more
for the cheaper to $19 more for the
more expensive bindings. We be
lieve you will never be able to buy
it as cheaply as you can now.
Which are you going to do
decide, or wait and pay more ?
Standard for
148 Years
For 148 years the Encyclopaedia Brttan
nlca has been not merely the standard
eneyelopaedia la the English language,
but the foremost work of its kind in all
the world.
The new Elerenth Edition cost more to
produce than any other set of books ever
Issued more th an a million and a half dol
lars for the editorial preparation alone.
Of this new edition, issued by the Cam
bridge University Press, more than 75.00Q
sets nave already been sold at a total e
ceeding fourteen million dollars.
This issue, costing from SI 66 to S2S0 per
set. was beyond the reach of a large num
ber of people to whom the Encyclopaedia
Britannica is a keener need than to many
who could afford it at this price.
To meet the demand for a popular issue
at a popular price the publishers prepared
for us a "Handy Volume" Issue, page for

of a smaller page.
