IlooKOvelt of New York for president
and Governor Hiram V. Johnson for

This was tho ticket that tho na
tional progressive party planned to
put In tho field against the republi
can and democratic nominees when
tho delegates assembled at 11 a. m.
today for tho third day's session ot
tho national convention. Although
Colonel John Parker, a New Orleans
democrat and Judge Den Llndsey of
Denver had been prominently men
tioned as vice presidential possibili
ties, thoy wero eliminated from tho
race last night when it was decided
to name California's governor be
cause of his campaigning ability. It
Is expected that this plan will go
through today without a hitch, but
tho negro and liquor questions aro
expected to cause considerable discus
sion on tho floor.
Tho first business before the con
vention today was that of effecting
permanent organization and when tho
delegates assembled it seemed cer
tain that the temporary organization,
beaded by Albert J. Dovcrldge of In
diana, would bo made permanent.
Following an all-night session tho
resolutions committee recessed early
this morning and announced Its in
tention of opposing the plan ot a
1C00 word platform. Committee
members think that the progressive
planks can bo covered in 1,000 words
and contend that a brief platform
would Insure wldo newspaper public
