When he arrived on the plat­ form shortly after the convention was called to order at noon a wave of cheering surged through the vast as­ semblage that developed into a riot of enthusiastic noise. And when he arose to make his speech, after a brief introduction . by Temporary Chairman Beveridge, he was'given another dem­ onstration. The announcement that the colonel would address the convention in re­ sponse to the invitation unanimously extended to him yesterday, drew a tre­ mendous crowd to the Coliseum, and long before Chairman Beveridge called the convention to order there was not a vacant seat in the hall. Colonel Roosevelt's speech was an exposition of the policies upon which the new party would appeal to the vo­ ters in the coming campaign. Beveridge Is Chairman. The new national Progressive party came Into official being In Chicago yesterday. The plans and purposes were out­ lined by former United States Sena­ tor Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana In bis speech as temporary chairman of the convention. "We propose," said Mr. Beveridge, "to pass prosperity around, to make human living easier, to free the hands of honest business, to make commerce steady, to preserve the dignity of wom­ anhood and to preserve childhood." It was an eloquent and forceful ad­ dress, the speech of the temt)orary chairman. Some of Mr. Beveridge's striking sentences were: Striking Sentences. "The warfare to destroy big busi­ ness 1b both foolish and wicked." "The people are tired of the mock battle with criminal capital." "Neither Democrats nor Republicans can swerve us from our course; we are free of both and fear neither." "The tariff must be taken out of politics." There was born at the same time as the new party a new cheer. It was the call of the bull moose. It was heard for the first time yesterday. It is a weird, crooning, penetrating cry, and it seems destined before the Pro­ gressives have adjourned to take the place of the old familiar cheer and yell. The exact hour of the birth of the Progressive babe was 12:45 o'clock. At that hour United States Senator Joseph M. Dixon of Montana rapped for order and began his opening speech. It is Baid thai girl scouts must learn to bake bread, wash and iron do sim­ ple cooking, build a coal fire, darn socks and take care of babies. But what s the use? Girls who can do all of those things don t have to do any scouting. It was an impressive moment. Sen­ ator Dixon seemed to realize it. The delegates and spectators themselves, who but a moment before, had been cheering themselves hoarse, suddenly became quiet. They sat quite . still. The speaker's voice carried far. Twice only was he interrupted, and one of these times was when an irre­ pressible in the gallery called for 'Three cheers for Teddy." Three cheers were given and then three times three. The scenes attending the birth of the new party were at once Impres­ sive and spectacular. The Coliseum was filled comforta­ bly. It was not crowded, probably there were 8,000 persons in the big auditorium when Senator Dixon in his capacity as chairman of the Progres­ sive party's provisional national com­ mittee, opened the proceedings. Viewed from the platform the audience seemed to be a sea of red and white. Opened by. Dixon. "Ladies and gentlemen," said Sena­ tor Dixon, 't'he convention will now come to order. Twenty-eight days ago In the city of New York it was decided that there should be a natural political alignment In these United States. Then and there was Issued a call for a convention to take up the subject and try to accomplish an alignment of po­ litical parties. "In the past twenty-eight days the nation has seen evolutfon in its democ­ racy, a new alignment in political par­ ties. Now, in four weeks the nation has seen a political convention of ^ new party with the largest number of delegates ever seen at a political con­ vention in this country. It has passed the academic discussion of principle, and before the sun sets this afternoon a new milestone will have been erect­ ed in the political history oj this coun­ try--a new party will have been born that will know no north, no south, no east, no west, and no sectional lines of any kind." While Dixon was speaking some one shouted: "Hurrah for Teddy," and for two or threo, minutes delegates in­ dulged in a shouting bee. Finally Dixon resumed, find Intro­ duced O. K. Davis, who read the call for tbe convention. Senator Dixon resumed the stand after the call had been read. He called on Rev. T. F. Dornblaser, pastor of the Grace English Lutheran church of Chicago, to pronounce the invoca­ tion. The delegates and visitors rose while the prayer was offered. Prays for a New Joshua. In the prayer Doctor Dornblaser thanked the Almighty for the Inde­ pendence of the nation. He said per­ haps the American spirit has become i somewhat vainglorious and boastful prayer of King David as priate for the occasion. He ea.ld/ that heaven had been with the nation In past crises and that it will be. with the nation in the crisis he saw coming. With this hope he uttered a plea for divine inspiration that the delegates might do their duty In displacing par­ ties that hare no higher ambition than to serve self. 'Thou God of infinite resources," he Bald, "give us another Joshua--a man who can lead us to speedy and ulti­ mate victory." Senator Dixon then announced that ex-Senator Albert J. Beveridge of In­ diana had been selected as temporary chairman of the convention. Governor Johnson of California, Gov­ ernor Vesey of South Dakota, Govern­ or Carey of Wyoming and Funk of Illinois escorted Beveridge to the plat­ form. Beveridge was greeted with a thun­ der of applause as he appeared. Beveridge Is Cheered. As the ex-aenator reached the climax of bis speech applause became more and more frequent. When he spoke of the new party as enlisting for war he was cheered again and again. He finished his speech at 3:12 and the convention gave him a tremen­ dous ovation. The delegates stood on their chairs cheering and waving their bandannas. While the applause was still at its height the band swung into "The Star Spangled Banner." At Its close there was another outburst of cheers. The clerks shouted through a big megaphone asking the band to play "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." but there was too much noise and they got switched Into another air--"The Battle Cry of Freedom." Finally, despairing of the mega­ phone method, the song was started from the platform, then the leader "wised up" and directed the efforts of his musicians into the right direction. The audience sang vepse after verse, and the band, waiting a little while each time, took its "cue" and went ahead. Most of the time the band was a few laps behind. But the dele­ gates didn't care. They went right on singing, and they sang with a will. After the singing had concluded Bev­ eridge asked the clerk to read the roll of temporary officers. Temporary Officers Named. Temporary officers of the conven­ tion, as finally announced, were as fol­ lows: Temporary chairman--Albert J. BeT- eridge. General secretary--O. K. Davis, Washington, D. C. Chief assistant secretary--Wilson Brooks, Chicago. Assistant secretaries--William Allen White, Emporia, Kan.; Judson C. Wel- llver, Washington, D. C.; John Callan O'Loughlln, Chicago; George E.

When he entered Ward No. 2 he came across a pale-looking young man lying in a cot, heavily swathed in ban­ dages. There he stopped and, after administering a few words of comfort to the unfortunate sufferer he remark­ ed, in cheering tones: "Never mind, my boy, you'll soon be all right. Keep on smiling; that's the way of the world." "I'll never smile again," replied the youth, sadly. "Rubbish!" ejaculated the vicar. "There's no rubbish about it!" ex­ claimed the other, heatedly. "It's through smiling at another fellow's girl that I'm here now."--London Tlt- Blts. Chicago, Aug. B.--Frank H. Funk, of Bloomington, state senator, was put forward as the gubernatorial can­ didate of the new Progressive party Saturday. The new party's conven­ tion began at 11 o'clock in the morn­ ing and took its final adjournment at 12:15 Sunday morning. No trouble arose over the question of a third ticket, as every delegate admitted to the convention had signed a pledge to support the ticket. The other nominees were as fol­ lows: Lieutenant Governor--Judge Dean Franklin, Macomb. Attorney General--Fletcher Dobyns, Chicago. Treasurer--Philip Decker, Murphys- boro. Auditor--Edwin Winter* Danville. Secretary of State--Edward O. Pe­ terson, Aurora. For trustees of the University of Illinois B. F.

Form of Pledge Exacted. The pledge required of all delegates admitted to the convention read: "We, the undersigned, hereby sub­ scribe to the calls for the national and state Progressive party conventions and pledge ourselves to support in the election next November the candi­ dates of the Progressive party in state and nation and the platform adopted by the party in Btate and national convention assembled." On the recommendation of the cre­ dentials committee the convention threw out John P. Conrad of Will county, a delegate who refused to sign the pledge. ( David Morrison was seated in place of the ousted delegate. Dr. Thomas A. Russell, a delegate from the Twentieth ward o< Chicago, was ejected bodily from the hall when he made objection to the report of the rules committee. Dr. John Boyle of Springfield was forcibly ejected from the convention hall after creating a disturbance on the speakers' platform. Attempts on the pert of his friends to quiet him were in vain and he was finally put out by the police. Merrlam 8ounds Keynote. The keynote of the convention and of the campaign to be conducted by the new party In Illinois was sounded by Charles E. Merrlam, the temporary chairman. He outlined a program of reform legislation and urged the need of the third party state ticket. At the conclusion of his speech Mr. Merrlam read a telegram from Colonel itoosevelt, addressed to Medill McCor­ mick. The Roosevelt telegram follows: "Through you I wish to express" ill good wishes to the Illinois Progress­ ives in convention assembled. I wish also to congratulate the Illinois Pro­ gressives on their stand for a third ticket. "This is the course that I am most happy to say has been decided upon in Indiana, Michigan and Missouri, and while of course there are certain states ™here the conditions render it unnecessary, I am frankly convinced that It is the course that must norm­ ally be followed and certainly in all cases unless there is a ticket already in the field which the Progressives are willing to indorse, and the nominees on which are openly and without equivocation in favor of the Progress­ ive electoral ticket. "We are engaged In a great move­ ment. It is only through the new Pro­ gressive party that we can hope to get our people really to face the vital issues of today. The two old party machines are both corrupt and in­ competent and we cannot hope to secure from them any sincere and resolute attempt to solve the prob­ lems most pressing for solution by our people.

Besides naming a third ticket th# convention indorsed Itoosevelt for president, adopted a Roosevelt plat­ form, nominated twenty-nine candi­ dates for presidential electors, named fifty-eight delegates to the national convention and elected a new state committee. C. K. Pendarvis of Henderson coun­ ty was temporary secretary of the convention. Arthur L. Curvey of Chi­ cago was permanent chairman and John L. Hamilton of Hoopeston was permanent secretary. Charles Ringer asked as temporary and permanent sergeant-at-arms. The convention occupied the entire day. Orchestra hall was filled to the topmost gallery. The delegates num­ bered 1,100. More than 1,000 specta­ tors were in attendance. Miss Jane Addams and other women prominent In civic affairs occupied boxes. Cheers for the Colonel. Mention of Theodore Roosevelt's name invariably aroused cheers and applause. At the opening of the con­ vention the former president was cheered for seven minutes. The signal for applause for Colonel Roosevelt wate given when two United States flags were drawn aside at the back of the Btage, revealing a photo­ graph of the former president bor­ dered by red, white and blue lights. The lights in other parts of the hall were turned out while the dem­ onstration continued. Delegation standards were waved aloft. Ban­ danna handkerchiefs, the emblem of the new party, were much in evidence. Funk'a Vote Unanimous. Senator Funk's nomination was made by acclamation, although the name of Robert Eaton of Will county also was presented before the con­ vention. The roll was called, but when De­ kalb county was reached Captain W. H. Fram of Will county withdrew the name of Mr. Eaton and moved that the nomination of Senator Funk be made unanimous. The motion was carried amid great applause. When the roll call was stopped Funk had received 479 vootes, while Eaton had only 62. The name of Senator Funk was placed before the convention by B. O. Aylesworth of Cass county. Second­ ing speeches were made by Senator Walter Clyde Jones of Chicago and Senator E. D. Telford of Marion county. | Mr. Eaton was nominated by Capt. William H. Frame. Rev. Duncan C. Mllner seconded the nomination. After tha vote Sebator Funk was es­ corted to the platform and made a brief speech of acceptance. Platform of New Party. The platform adopted by the con­ vention defines at the outset the ob­ ject of the new party. "The national Progressive party," It declares, "is the expression of the determination of the people to take back their government into their own hands. No close observer of indus­ trial, social land political conditions in Illinois can doubt the impelling neces­ sity for the formation in this state of such a party."

"Coffee has been used In our family of eleven--father, mother, five sons and four daughters--for thirty years. I am the eldest of the boys and have always been considered the runt of the family and a coffee toper. "I continued to drink it for years un­ til I grew to be a man, and then I found I had stomach trouble, nervous headaches, poor circulation, was un­ able to do a full day's work, took medi­ cine for this, that and the other thing, without the least benefit. In fact I only weighed 116 when I was 28. "Then I changed from coffee to Pos- tum, being the first one in our family to do so. I noticed, as did the rest of the family, that I was surely gaining strength and flesh. Shortly after I was visiting my cousla who said, 'You look so much better--you're getting fat.' "At breakfast his wife passed me a cup of coffee, as she knew I was al­ ways such a coffee drinker, but I said, 'No, thank you.' "What!' said my cousin, 'you quit coffee? What do you drink?' "'Postum,' I said, 'or water, and I am well.' They did not know what Postum was, but my cousin bad stom­ ach trouble and could not sleep at night from drinking coffee three times a day. He was glad to learn about Dostum, but said he never knew cof­ fee would hurt anyone." (Tea Is just as Injurious as coffee because it con­ tains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.) "After understanding my condition and bow I got well he knew what to do for himself. He discovered that coffee was the cause of his trouble as. be never used tooacco or anything else of the kind.
