ment with the New York delegation
all along. Roosevelt is down and
out. Nominated by the progressives
by acclamation he declined the ho
nor leaving the Bull Moosers in the
soup when it’s hot. Reaction reigns
supreme. Full dinner pail slogans
are swapped by the stand pats;
speeches that sound like the good
old times of graft and loot were
made by numbers of enthusiastic
supporters of privilege, and th8
merry game goes on with liberal
promises to all that if Hughes Ta

good times awaits the public.

BULL MOOSE RANK AND
FILE DISMAYED BY REFUSAL
CHICAGO, June 10.—While the
republicans were cheering the name
of Hughes in a very decorous kina
of attempt at pandemonium in
their convention hall, within two
minutes after Hughes was nomi
nated the progressives nominatea
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt as the
progressive candidate for the presi
dency. The unanimous nomination
was accompanied by a wild scene ot
enthusiasm. John M. Parker ot
Louisiana was nominated vice pre
sident candidate by acclamation and
alao received an ovation.
CHICAGO, June 11.—Roosevelt
wired to the Progressives today his
declination of the nomination for
the of president, but qualified the
same with the remark that he sug
gested the committee can accept it
on conditions that Hughes creed is
satisfactory and that they withola
action until his sentiments are
known.
The rank and file are infinitely
dismayed by the quital of their
leader, and Roosevelt’s action is
expected to smash the Bull Moose
party beyond recall.
CHICAGO, June 11.—Charles E.
Hughes in a statement given out to
night says that he approves the
platform and will from now on
spend the entire time campaigning.

SEATTLE PREPARATIONISTS
HOLD GIGANTIC PARADE
SEATTLE PREPA*lRATIONISTS ash
SEATTLE, June 11.—On Satur
day the preparationists had a giant
parade which was three miles long,
to agitate preparedness. The pro
moters of the movement have been
tirelessly working to make the pa
rade the largest so far held. They
said that they had fifty thousand
in line, but this is a gross exaggera
tion. All the employers of labor
in Seatle gave their men a half ho
liday to take part in the line ot
march and this without question
helped to swell the total enorm
ously.
SEATTLE, June 11.—Reverend
Sydney a prominent local minister
asserts In his sermon today that the
parade of Saturday last must have
been a keen disappointment to the
preparedness people as less than
fifteen thousand and not fifty thou
sand took part in it.
Sydney also states that several
thousand employees who do not
want preparedness at any price ana
many of whom he knew to be bitter
opponents of the policy, marched
out of loyalty to their employers.
Sydney says that the most dlsan
pointing feature of all was the no
ticeable absence of organized labor
which rigidly abstained from ex
tending any support to the move
ment, although Gompers has endor
sed the Wilson policy of prepared
ness.
SEATTLE, June 11.—Partizan
politics butts into the preparedness
policy and both republicans and de
mocrats are trying to take credit
for the parade procession here to
day. They are endeavoring to make
political capital out of what both
have heretofore declared must be
non-partizan.
SEATTLE, June 9.—The munl
tlonists and preparatlonlstss have
joined hands for the big prepared
ness parade which is to be held
tomorrow, Saturday.
According to the reports of pro
moters, Including army and navy
men, two thousand processionists
will be in line.
It Is aimed to be non-partizan,
but both the republicans and demo
crats are each trying to claim politl
cal capital from It.

HUGHES NOMINATION
SATISFIED DEMOCRATS
WASHINGTON, I). C., .luna 12.— |
The Hughes nomination in clearly
satisfactory to the democrat:; who (
admit that the republican nomina
tion of Roosevelt would have been
a hard one to beat. Hughes is re
garded in this respect r.s dead easy;
he cannot reunite the progressives
who will fleck to Wilson cn masse,
and the ro-elocticn of the preside:,t
is almost certain.
The strength of Rooscv. lt was
easily guagcd in tin bitter attack
which the democrats made against
liis nomination, fearing up to tho
last that he would materialize.
Another democratic administra
tion is, even in conservative places,
regarded with confidence as certain.
