G. 0. P. WILL LIKELY
NOMINATE HUGHES
Hope of Harmony Lessens and
Progressives Will Nominate
Teddy on First Ballot.
Chicago,June 7.—More poli
tical leaders are predicting the
nomination of Justice Charles
E. Hughes tonight than at any
time since the Republican na
tional convention assembled.
They declare that unless all
signs fail, his nomination will
come even sooner than has been
predicted. The men who take
this view are practical politi
cians, who do not make estima
tes unless they are based on a
careful canvass of the dele
gates.
The situation is illustrated
by the fact that conferences
between leaders to discuss the
availability of different candi
dates practically have ceased,
indicating thier belief that a
majority of the delegates al
ready have reached a decision
to name Hughes.
These leaders say that the
Hughes boom now has grown
to such formidable proportions
that Colonel Roosevelt no long
er holds the veto power which
had been conceded to him as
part of the program to bring
the Republican and Progres
sive parties together.
The Hughes managers claim
that he will have 300 votes on
first ballot.
ii seems practically certain
that the Progressive national
convention will again nominate
Roosevelt and Johnson.
Many of the Progressive
leadeis argue that they have
no other course, because efforts
to reach an agreement with the
Republicans have failed. The
more conservative Progressives
hope to forestall action in their
convention until Friday.
Neither the Republican nor
the Progressive convention ap
pointed committees today to
confer respecting peace plans.
There is opposition in both
conventions to such a course.
Before the demonstration for
Colonel Rosevelt in the Pro
gressive convention today it
was suggested the party might
name a candidate other than
Roosevelt, and that later, if the
Republicans named Hughes
and his speech of acceptance
proved satisfactory, the Prog
ressive candidate could with
draw in the interestofharmonv
and a united front to the Dem
ocratic party at the polls would
be presented. This plan, how
ever, has been abandoned.
NEWARK CONTRIBUTES
TO RELIEF FUND
When the call for aid was
sent out from the storm strick
en sections of the state. J. B.
Ketchem, chairman fo the lo
cal relief committee, sent a
check for $200.00 to the Ark
ansas Gazette to be added to
the reliet fund being raised
in Little Rock to aid the storm
sufferers.
The money was contributed 1
from funds remaining in the:
hands of the local relief com-i
mittee. which was raised for
tht* benefit of flood sufferers
here following the oveflow of
last August.
When the call for aid came.
Mr. Ketchem was quick to re
spond. His experience as chair
man of the local relief commit
tee following the August flood
in this section, taught him that
the money promptly given re
lieves the most distress, so he
quickly sent a check for $200.

ROOSEVELT’S NAME IS
CHEERED 93 MINUTES
All Records For Demonstration
Broken When Teddy’s Name
Is Mentioned in Convention
Chicago, June 7.—The Pro
gressive national convention
opened in the Auditorium to
day with a record breaking
demonstration for Col. Roose
velt.
For one hourandthirty-three
minutes the delegates and
spectators roared, shouted,
cheered and applauded. They
sang the Progressive battle
hymns, paraded the aisles and
over the stage and howled
down all attempts to check
them. The demonstration ex
ceeded the previous record for
such affairs of one hour and
‘29 minutes, established in the
Coliseum here four years ago,
when the Roosevelt supporters
sought his nomination over
President Taft and exceeded
by eight minutesthe celebrated
demonstration for Bryan at
Denver in 1908.
Raymond Robins, temporary
chairman of the convention,
had spoken just three senten
ces of his keynote speech when
he mentioned Col. Roosevelt’s
name. A wave of enthusiasm
that amounted to nothing less
than a paroxysm resulted.
“The foremost citizen "of the
world,” was the characteriza
tion Robins used in connection
with his mention of the colo
nel’s name. The response was
instantaneous. “We want Ted
dy,” roared the delegates,and
the demonstration lasted for
one hour and 33 minutes.
