For Vice-President: HIRAM W. JOHNSON. Chicago, Aug. 8.---Theodore Roose­ velt and Hiram W. Johnson were unanimously selected as the standard bearers of the new Progressive party amid scenes of the wildest enthusiasm ever witnessed in a political conven­ tion. Both candidates appeared before the convention and accepted the nom­ inations in brief speeches that were received with deafening applause. In keeping with its record as the singing .convention, the first national gathering of the Progressive party wound up with the singing of the doxology. Prendergast Names Roosevelt. Colonel Roosevelt's name as the first candidate for president of the .Progressive party was presented to the convention by William A. Prender­ gast of New York. As Mr. Prendergast CQnduded his nominating speech with the words, "I present you America's greatest statesman and lion-hearted citizen, Theodore Roosevelt," the convention --audience and delegates -- again transported themselves into a frenzy of delight. The demonstration that followed wast, in all respects similar to that which had followed the ap­ pearance of the colonel in the same hall twenty-four hours before, only yesterday's demonstration was even more wildly enthusiastic, more fren- Eied, more noisy than the former one. Seconding Speeches Made. The uproar continued for 45 min­ utes. "When order finally was re­ stored by Chairman Beveridge, Judge Ben B. Lindsey began the first of the seconding speeches. His speech, too, evoked a demon­ stration, as did the others all the way down the line. j Jane Addams of Hull house followed him and she was given an ovation such as never before has been given to a woman. Other seconding speeches were made by A. T. Hamilton, Georgia; Horatio King, New York; Col. T. P. Lloyd of Florida, a Confederate vet­ eran, who had lost an arm in the Civil war; John M. McDowell and Lucius F. C. Garvin. Johnson Is Chosen. After the nomination by acclama­ tion the vice-presidency wa^" taken up and Governor Johnson of Califor­ nia was unanimously chosen. John M. Parker of Louisiana pre­ sented the name of Governor Johnson in a speech that was wildly cLfeered. Seconding speeches were made by a number of delegates. The platform presented by the reso­ lutions committee was unanimously adopted. The temporary organization of tne -convention was made permanent when the convention met at noon yesterday and Chairman Beveridge was given an ovation when he briefly expressed his appreciation of the honor. Demonstration for Colonel. Before a vast audience of riotous, enthusiastic followers Colonel Roose­ velt Tuesday presented his new po­ litical creed. It was an epoch-mak­ ing speech, marking a new era in the political, and perhaps the economical, history of the country. The scenes attending the arrival and reception of Colonel Roosevelt at the Coliseum were of remarkable in­ terest Seemingly everyone knew that the occasion was historical. It was a personal greeting such as has been given to few men in public assemblies. For one hour the demon­ stration continued. It began with a long, western yell, and dropped into a steady eastern roar, which continued, interspersed with songs, parades, state cheers and parodies on hymns for the better part of the hour. A more colorful soene has been rarely witnessed. The great hall was a sea of waving bandanna handker­ chiefs. Roosevelt, himself, had one glmgst as big as a tablecloth, which he shook in recognition of the cheers. The building was crowded. ^s Real Pleased. Far from showing displeasure, or trying to stop the noise, the colonel was as delighted as a football hero in a college game. He waved to every corner of the* hall, pnd his teeth gleamed in a pleased recognition of the ovation. The cheering started at 12:52 and at 1 o'clock it was still too loud to allow the business to proceed. Instead, a march of the states began. Ohio, New York, Missouri and Penn­ sylvania, in the order named, started a march to the platform with their state banners and markers. Other states fell Into line and it seemed something must give way the way they crowded and surged about the very front of the speaker's stand. Ari­ zona, Montana, Iowa and Georgia were in the front and Delaware, Virginia and Colorado were crowding them. The band at the back of the hall strove to play. Perhaps it did. The snare drummer had a revolver and he could be seen shooting from time to time. But the other efforts of the band that came In with the Roosevelt parade were lost. They worked and worked, but it did not do any good. It was all lost in a volume of shouts. While the demonstration was at its height a woman, borne on the shoul­ ders of two stalwart delegates, was taken past the press stand and In front of the speakers' stand. The woman was Mrs. Ferdinand White of Chicago. She wore a long yellow "Votes for Women" streamer pinned across the bosom of her white dress. She smiled and seemed happy, and as she was carried past the speak­ ers' stand she looked into the face of the former president and screamed, "Teddy! Teddy!" The Eighteenth Pennsylvania dis­ trict carried a big ring wrapped in a Sag and there was a real Rough Rider hat suspended in it As the cheering eased up the col­ onel drew one of the red bandannas from his own pocket and waved It The crowd could make no mora dertone of the 1 on st ration. As the singing died down, the "We Want Teddy" yell, the key of the long demonstration for Roosevelt st the Re­ publican convention, broke forth and kept up in all parts of the building. It beat in increasing volume and regular rhythm against a background of other sounds that seemed to make it more distinct Miss Jane Addams, Illinois delegate at large, was lifted to the speakers' stand. As she appeared there was a renewed burst of cheers and Roosevelt stepped from the "moose pen," In which he had been standing, and strode forth to meet her. For 25 minutes the shouting had en­ dured. The delegates began to get hoarse. Their voices played out ahead pf their enthusiasm and there was a session of whistling. Then the crowd returned to song. "John Brown's Body" was the air again. They sang It slowly, but there warn pVently of vim in the singing. Beveridge Calls for Order. Ex-Senator Beveridge stepped to thr "moose pen" beside Rooeevelt He evi dently thought the time had come when it might be possible to hear Roosevelt's speech. The crowd did not think so. The noise came back. A few delegates took the stand. They were greeted with a handshake and a smile. The women in the dele gation were led to the stand. All th< women with the California delegation went te the stand. It was a signal for more cheers. At last the colonel began to speak, and the audience settled back witfe breathless interest The speech was followed with close attention and was frequently Interrupt­ ed with outbursts of cheering. New Party Launched. The national Progressive party was launched In the Coliseum here Mon­ day when the followers of Colonel Roosevelt held their first national con­ vention. Albert J. Beveridge, former United States senator from Indiana, was chosen temporary chairman and made the keynote speech.

For a little while the rolling clamor of the song nearly drowned out the cheering. But not quite. The crowd had to give way to a stored-up enthusiasm that was too great for music and In spite of the rhythmical swing of the music there Was a staccato of handclapping and a booming accompaniment of cheers. Over It all some one started the old rebel yell and It shrilled above sing­ ing, shouting and blaring brass.

The Beveridge speech wa%~the feat* ure of the first day's session. The In­ diana man was assisted at the birth of the new party by Senator Dixon of Montana, chairman of the provisional national committee of the national Progressive party. The convention was called to order at 12:45 p. m. j Dixon Gets First Applause. j Senator Dixon, in his opening j speech, got the first ripple of applause j when he declared more representative | delegates were Beated In this than in any convention ever held. He referred to the dual sets of delegates sent giv­ ing one-half a vote to each. He was interrupted In his speech when some one in the gallery shouted: "Hurrah for Teddy!" The delegates stood up and yelled. The applause was of short duration and the call for the convention was read. Beveridge Is Introduced. ~ Ex-Senator Beveridge was ~~ intn> duced as temporary chairman at 1:30 amid applause. He was escorted to the platform by Governor Johnson of California, Gov­ ernor Carey of Wyoming, Governor Vessey of South Dakota and Frank H. Punk of Illinois, third ticket candi* date for governor of Illinois. "The Progressive party stands for a nobler America," was his first sen­ tence and he got a cheer from the au­ dience. It was renewed when he said: "We stand for a mutual helpfulness instead of mutual hatred." When he declared the Progressive party was going to set the south men free from sectionalism the delegates stood up and yelled. •"The Progressive party motto is ta pass prosperity around," declared Mr. Beveridge, and he again set his audit­ ors on edge. This thrust at the old sys­ tem went home to the assemblage: "At the present moment notorious bosses are in the saddle of both old parties in various Important states which must be carried to elect a presi­ dent This blaak horse cavalry is the most important force in the practical work of the Democratic and Repub­ lican parties in the present campaign.* Woman Suffrage, Recall of Court De­ cisions and Plans for Bettering Living Conditions of Wage- Earners Are Features.
