(Copyright. 1916. by the Central Press
Association.
CHICAGO, June 9. (Special.) It
started to be a great day for our flag
at the Coliseum, and so it was for a
spell. But along to
ward the shank-end
of the afternoon
Colonel Roc3evelt's
personality was
projected violently
Into the proceedings
and the official fin
ish stood as fol
lows: First. Colonel
Roosevelt.
Second The
3rand Old Flag.
Third The ,Grand
Old Party.
Also ran DuPont,
Orators Make Slost
of Flag;.
I am not speaking
now of what haD-
pened tonight after dark had come on
and the Old Guard had rallied irom
the shock. I am speaking of the day,
it was considerable day. The Star-
finnnirled Banner never had a better
run for Its money. One was frequently
Imnelled to stoD and wonder wnat
-nnvntinn would do if it weren't for
ih. finer Take the flan away from
the most of our convention orators
and practically they would be tongue-
tied.
With the real leaders sitting solemn
as mandarins, with the big building
for the first time filled to capacity,
with each favorite son In turn being
trotted out in conjunction with the
flag, things went along Just beautifully
up to a certain point. And then it
developed that there was one individual
who might not be a favorite son of any
particular state, but who was by way
of being the favorite son of the whole
United States, as those - states . were
represented among the spectators.
Rollcall Sign to- Elocutionists.
The owlish Old Guard sat up and
took notice then, wearing the expres
sions upon their several countenances
of men who were being fried on both j
sides in hot lard. I
But to speak of that interruption
now would be to anticipate the climax
and cheat our leading- descriptive writ
ers of a chance to tell of a popular
explosion on. behair or a gentleman who
occupied the somewhat unique attitude
of being neither a member of the Re
publican party at that juncture nor a
delegate nor even an admitted candi
date for its nomination.
Let us begin at the beginning of the.
rollcall a rollcall remarkable for the
time it took to call it, for the number
of tiresome elocutionists who bobbed
up as a result of its calling and for
the denouement which came toward its
tag-end when the flag of our country
was showing signs of wear and tear.
Alabama had passed, Alaska had
passed, and Arizona after a nice little
family row among its own delegates
had yielded to New York, and then
Governor Whitman was recognized it
was no trouble to recognize him, be
cause he stood right up in the main
aisle. He looks a good deal like bis
pictures, anyhow.
"The chair recognizes Governor
Whitman, of New York," said Senator
Harding with a little start of seeming
astonishment. He appeared to be as
pleasantly Impressed as he was the
other day when the convention elected
him temporary chairman, after giving
him no more than a few weeks' notice.
Hughes Cheered From Floor.
Governor Whitman took the stand
and the nominating speeches were on.
He mentioned ex-President Taft (loud
and continued applause), spoke indors
Ingly Of the United States flag and sug
gested that Justice Charles E. Hughes
ought to make a mighty nice President,
or words to that effect.
The reader may allow 28 minutes for
the speech and 19 for the demonstra
tion which followed, the cheering being
mostly confined to the floor and not to
the galleries. In their outburstlng the
members of the Old Guard for Gov
ernor Whitman's native etate and for
Hughes' showed the most commend
able self-restraint. It hurt them to do
so you could tell by their expressions
that it hurt them but they controlled
themselves. Then, led by Oregon, and
part of New York, the Mississippi,' the
Michigan and the - Vermont delegates
hafi quite a pleasant and mannerly pa
rade about the hall, everything passing
off In the most orderly fashion possible
to conceive.
Professor Murray Derelict.
Prof esson, Nicholas Murray Butler, of
Columbia University, carefully avoiding
the split Infinitive, which he is said to
abhor above all things, chastely and
dispassionately offered the name of
KHhu Root. Professor Butler was guilty
of one crime of omission he failed to
mention the flag. Maybe this explains
the whooping, still characteristlzed by
the decorum and a due regard for the
proprieties, died a peaceful death in
quarter of an hour. The last person to
quit vociferating was a shrill-voiced
woman in an upper balcony who had an
American flag and the lung capacity of
a eteam-slren. Every time she cut
loose the crowd laughed and applauded.
After a bit a big fellow with talented
Pipes down in the Oregon delegation.
began to yell back at her every time
sne yenea.
Governor Willis, of Ohio, abided b
ancient precedents and the traditions
of conventions. He coupled with the
flag the name of his candidate. With
a. fine camp-meeting quaver In his
voice and a proudness worthy of a
Persian potentate in his bearing. Gov
ernor Willis made an Introductory ap
peal to the calmer and more reflective
reason of the delegates by lugging Into
view a papier-mache elephant. During
the speech the elephant stood alongside
me ijovernor. and, therefore, was In
good position to hear quite a good
deal about the emancipation procla
mation ana the stormy days of civil
strife, and the. great heart of the
common people, and the need of so-
curing harmony with the Progressives,
and, of course, the f lag."
Cat Let Out of Biz.
Finally Governor Willis divulged his
nappy secret. He came right out and
said he was for none other than Jolly
old Senator Burton for the nomination.
Whereupon the Ohio delegation
produced American flags and waved
them. But 'twas lunch time and Ionic
after lunch time, 'nd everybody felt
a lltUo hit snappish, so the Burton

even though a v procession came In
headed by a fife aid drum corps, and
then a tall man dressed as Uncle Sam
and then three .other men in Colonial
soldier costumes, one of them having
a flap and -one a drum, and one a

While Henry Cabot Lodge was nom-"

the true Harvard spirit prevailed
throughout this plTe of the proceed

that nothing was said which was in
anyway calculated to bring the blush
of sorrow to the cheeks of the most
fastidious grammarian.

a very earnest one, from Delaware. ad
Justed his spectacles at an angle where
he could see the flag plainly anvf ad
vanced the thought that General T.
Coleman Eu Pont would prove a good,
serviceable President, especially when
the flag and everything were taken
Into consideration. Comparatively lit
tle excitement greeted this disclosure.
This, though, may have been due to
the fact that nearly everybody had a
ham sandwich half way In his mouth,
or her mouth, as the case might be.
Illinois, Too, Hu Its Parade.
Following this interlude. Senator
Sherman, of Illinois, was nomi
nated by Colonel. William T. Cadhoun,
of Chicago, who played Sherman for
first place and the flag for second
money. A novelty befell here. The Il
linois voters produced blue and white
pennants and so they, too, had to have
parade with expert rooters to lead
the yelling and Uncle Joe Cannon In
line and everything pleasant like that.
tsy artificial respiration the life of the
Sherman whoop-fest was prolonged un
til two galleries, growing impatient,
began to hiss.
Representative- William R. Wood, of
Indiana, who had taken the platform
to give the flag some good, free pub-
icity, and to nominate his fellow-
Hoosier, the Honorable Charles Warren
Fairbanks, stood there, surcharged with
unuttered eloquence and fuming at the
confusion. You could hardly blame Mr.
Wood for betraying nervousness and
worrlment. There he stood, full of
rich, fresh, creamy thoughts, and. the
weather, the rainy, souring kind. Any
minute a thnnder shower was liable to
come up ana clabber him.

, AUDITORIUM HALL, Chicago. June
9. The Progressive convention ad
journed at 9:58 tonight to 10:30 A. M.
tomorrow on receiving' word from the
Coliseum that the Republican conven
tion, after taking two ballots on candi
dates for the Presidential nomination
without result, had adjourned until to
morrow.
The inclination of delegates to chafe
at efforts toput off the nomination of
Colonel Roosevelt, which had amounted
almost to revolt, seemed to have been
subdued. The delegates followed with
out question all advices given by their
leaders. The radicals knew they were
in control and that slowly they were
approaching a point where their will
would be done.
At the morning session, the Mass
achusetts delegation marched in. yell
lng: "We want to nominate Roose
velt before it is too late."
Governor Hiram Johnson, of Califor
nia. John M. Parker, of Louisiana, and
Raymond Robins, of Illinois, the con
vention's chairman, were mentioned
prominently for Vice-President,
All of the first paragraphs of the
platform were approved by viva voce
votes; later paragraphs were approved
by unanimous consent.
The planks on "Americanism were
approved without a dissenting voice.
The amendment to the Mexican
plank reads:
"Failure to deal firmly" and promptly
with the menace ef Mexican disorder
and threatened violations of the rights
of our citizens on the high seas has
resulted In the wanton murder of our
citizens and in the tragic weakening
of our National self-respect."
Another amendment for equal rights
to aJl men in all lands reads:
"We should not conclude a treaty
with any country that will not ex
pressly assure to American citizens
such absolute rights."
The peace conference committee ar
rived at 11:30 o'clock and the platform
was laid aside. Mr. Perkins presented
the peace conferfees' report.
When Mr. Perkins told how Colonel
Roosevelt's name had- been presented.
there was short, loud applause. Yells
and cheers followed the statement that
the Republicans presented no candidate.
Mr. Perkins then made a statement
reciting how important harmony was
egarded. He explained that the object
of the Progressive peace overtures were
eslgned so that If rejected, "the coun
try would be with us." He pleaded
with the convention to keep calm and
cool-headed.
"We must do nothing to mar the rec
ord so we can appeal to the voters if
that Is the final result," he eald.
Governor Johnson was recalled to
relate his part In the conferences.

CONVENTION HALL, Chicago. June
9. (Special.) Oregon seconded the
nomination of Charles E. Hughes, but
did not have a monopoly on the sec
onding. ,
It had been planned to have only one
seconding speech for each candidate,
but as the nominating speeches closed
the convention adopted a special rule
sanctioning two seconding speeches for
each candidate. Chairman Harding
then recognized Leo Weinberg, of
Maryland, to make the first speech
econding Hughes. This threw ex-
Senator Fulton out of the place pre
viously allotted and compelled him to
discard the speech he had outlined In
advance, following Mr. Weinberg. MC
Fulton spoke but briefly, saying:
"When ' I look out over this reat
audience, I realize what tremendous
temptation it is to a public speaker.
It Is so good looking and so entirely
charming, but I am not going to take
advantage of this opportunity. I had
prepared an eloquent speech, but when
came to look it over. I found it will
do Just as well for the Fourth of
July. (Laughter.)
"I- am going to content myself by
saying that we want to nominate a
man who will unite the Republican
party and lead it on to victory. The
people of Oregon have selected and
have sent here to you a delegation in
structed at the primaries. Oregon gave
to Hughes 30,000 plurality at- the prl
mary in May and if their candidate is
accepted by this convention they will
roll up a Republican majority of 60.000
in November.
'The state of Oregon, through Its
nnlted delegation seconds the nomina
tion of Charles E. Hughes."

was that the Progressives "made the
Issue of this campaign and they offer

"The Republicans accept the issue

s ! A Sensible Cigare
and ycsi ceh pswe it 1
As a matter of fact, there are several
sensible cigarettes on the market today.'
Fatimas aren't the only ones.
You can figure for yourself what a
sensible cigarette is:
First it must please your tasted
Second it must be cool and com
fortable to the throat and tongue.
Third it must leave you feeling gooa
and snappy even after you have smoked
more than usual; no heavy, or "heady"
feeling no gijpuch at yourself for hav
ing smoked too much.
On the second and third points Fatimas '
ring the bell every time. .
On point No. 1, the taste that is
strictly up to you. Most men like the
taste of Fatimas so well that they
outsell any other cigarette costing
over 5 cents,'
But tastes differ" and Fatimasrnay
or may not taste as good to you as to
all these thousands of other men.
You can't tell about that, of course;
until you try Fatimas. That's the only
way to prove how SENSIBLE they
are. Try out a package today and prove
; it yourself. fuLcc Or. .
