COMPROMISE TALK FAILS Conferees of Both Conventlone Could Not Agree and Nominations Quickly Followed Report—Justice Hughes, in Accepting, Chsracterlzes Wilson as "Humiliating Spectacle." Following the failure of con ferees representing the Republican and Progressive conventions in Chi cago to agree upon any man for the amalgamation of the two parties, the Republican national convention wound its work up on the third ballot by nom inating Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes, for president, and Charles W. Fairbanks, for vice presi dent. Before the adjournment, the chair man of the convention announced that he had received a message from Mr. Hughes saying that he would accept the nomination. The final moves In the drama that culminated In the nomination of Mr. Hughes by the convention were short, s"harp and decisive. At the flnail conference at the Black stone neither Bide had any new propo sitions to make and It was apparent to the participants in It that both would hold rigidly to their demands. So after shaking hands all around the confer ence fel) Into two parts and each set about preparing a report to be read to their respective conventions. The Progressive and Republican con ferees reconvened at the Blackstone hotel, in accordance "with the request of George W. Perkins, the Progressive commander. This request constituted the last word when the gathering broke up at the Chicago club, six hours earlier, after trying for four hours to reach an agreement Because of the attitude of the Pro gressives, who still clung tenaciously to their demand that Roosevelt be nominated by the Republicans, no pro gress toward a union of forces had been made. The Republican conferees had whol ly rejected Mr. Roosevelt and offered for the consideration of the Progress ives the names of Hughes, Root, Fair banks and Cummins, finally centering on Hughes. The problem then was re duced to a single Issue between the two factions and a contest between Hughes and Roosevelt. When the conference report was read In the Republican convention many of the candidates withdrew in favor of Hughes. The formality of calling the roll was then begun amid cheering for Hughes. But six men were voted for on the final ballot. These were Hughes, Weeks, Dupont, Roosevelt, Lafodlette and Lodge. The total number of votes cast was 987. The result of the ballot was: Hughes, 949V4! Roosevelt, 18%; Weeks, 8; Dupont, 6; Lafollette, 3; Lodge, 7; not voting, 1. The announcement of the vote pro voked the usual demonstration that follbws BO important an event aa the nominating of the president. Mr. Hughes was immediately noti fied by telegraph of his nomination add the convention adjourned. The Platform. The platform specifically calls for legislation for the protection against child labor and Just as specifically de clares for general workmen's compen sation legislation and for legislation for the compensation to workmen en gaged In the federal service. There Is a plank calling for the conservation of American resources, but the latter is modified so as to require that such conservatism shall not be so admin istered as to interfere' with the utili sation of the resources by the people of the country. Other plsnks touching on labor, Americanism, national defence and other questions have been sdopted in form intended to meet Progressive sen tlment The plank on woman's suffrage says: "The Republican party, reaffirm ing its faith in government of the people, by the people and for the peo ple, favors the extension of suffrage to women, as a measure of Justice to one-half the adult people of this coun try." The restoration of a protective tariff is declared essential to the prosperity of the nation. It Is declared that un less a protective tariff Is restored seri ous consequences will follow the close of the war. Possible importation of products of cheap foreign labor, If the present Democratic tariff |i con tinued, Is viewed with alarm. The tariff plank also declares for a tariff commission. The platform declare* In favor of a merchant marine through the pursu ance of a policy which haa been pro ductive of (hip development abroad by subvention and >ucb other proper leg islation, such subvention to be la pay ment for services actually performed and the vessels to pass under the control of the government In an emer gency. The platform reaffirms the Monroe doctrine, aa(ertlng Its necessity for •or peace and safety and for the »t- Cbsmberlsln's Celic, Cbelera sad Diarrhoea Kenedy. This Ira remedy that every fam ily should be provided with, and especially during the summer months.

"We declare in favor of national control of transportation agencies through the interstate commerce com mission by a constitutional amendment if necessary," the platform. The platform declares for restriction of immlgratioiVthroiigh a literacy test, as advocated by organized labor. , In order to meet the views of Pro gressives, some of the social Justice planks of the 1912 Bull Moose platform are Incorporated. Among them is a provision favoring the enactment of child labor and women's hours legls lation in factories, who do an inter state commerce business. The social Justice planks, which by unanimous consent are omitted from the plat form, include the recall and the ini tiative referendum. HUGHES ACCEPTS Resigns From Court and Raps Admin istration's Foreign Policy. Charles Evans Hughes stepped down from the supreme bench, and, again as a private citizen, accepted the Re publican nomination for president. (' In a telegram ringing with denunci ation of the administration's foreign policies and declaring for a dominant, thoroughgoing Americanism, he gave his decision to Chairman Harding, of the Republican national convention, and broke the long silence which had kept the leaders of his party In the dark as to his attitude toward the great issues of the day. Within an hour after Chairman Harding bad notified him of his nomi nation, Hughes had accepted the call. Justice Hughes sent a telegram to Chairman Harding formally accepting the Republican nomination for the presidency, as follows: Mr. Chairman and Delegates: I have not desired the nomination. I have wished to remain on the bench. But in this critical period In our his tory I recognize that It Is yx>ur right to summon and that It is my para mount duty to respond. You speak at a time of national exigency, transcend lng merely partisan considerations. You voice the demand for a dominant thoroughgoing Americanism, with firm, protective upbuilding policies essen tial to our peace and security; and to that call. In tills crisis,' I cannot fall to answer with the pledge of all that is in me to the service of our country. Therefore 1 accept the nomination. I stand for the firm and unflinch ing maintenance of all the rights ot American citizens on land and sea. I neither Impung motives nor under estimate difficulties, but It Is most regrettably true that In our foreign relations we have suffered Incalculably from the weak and vacillating course which has been taken with regard to Mexico—a course lamentably wrong with regard to both our rights and our duties. We lntefered without consist, ency; and, while seeking to dictate when we were not concerned, we ut terly failed to appreciate and dis charge our plain duty to our citizens. At the outset of the administration the high responsibilities of our d plo matlc Intercourse with lorelgn riailon* were subordinated to a conception of partisan requirements, and we pre sented to the world a humliallng spec tacle of Ineptitude. HelateJ efforts have not availed to recover the Intlu ence and prestige so unfortunately sacrificed, and brave worcs have been ■tripped of their force by Indecision. I desire to see our diplomacy restor ed to its best standards and to have these advanced; to have no sa'rittces of national Interest to partisan expe dlences; to have the first ability ot the country always at Its c.mmani here and abroad In diplomatic Inter course; to maintain firmly our rUhts untleY International iaw, Insisting steadfastly upon all our lights as a mutual and fully performing our Inter, national obligations, and by the csear correctness and Justness of our po ■ltion and our manifest ability and ills position to sustain them to dignify our place among the nations. I stand for an Americanism that knows no ulterior purpose, for a pa triotlsm that la single ami complete Whether native or naturalized, of whatever race or cre», we have but one country, and we do not for an in stant tolerate any di vLlon of sKegt ance. I bellere In making prompt provls ion to assure absolutely our national security. I believe In preparedness, Dot ot»fjr entirely adequate for our de fense with re»p« t to numbers anil equipment In both army and nary, but that all tboroujcnneu* to the end that In ear-b branch of the service there may be the utmost efficiency undei the most competent' administrates beads. We wish to promote all wise and practicable measure* tor the just set tlement of International dlsput';*. In view o' our abiding Ideals, there It no danger of militarism In this oun try.

C., THURSDAY, JUNE 15 1916 and we condemn the Inexcusable ne glect that has been shown In tills matter of first national Importance. We must have the strength which self respect demands—the strength of an efficient nation ready for every emer gency. Our preparation must be Industrial and economic, as well as military. Our several tests will come after the war la over. We must make a fair and wise readjustment of the tariff, In ac cordance with sound protective prin ciples, to insure our economic inde pendence and to .maintain American standards of living, We must con serve the Just interests of labor, real lzing that In democracy patriotism and national strength must be rooted In even-handed Justice. In preventing, as we must, unjust dlscrl and monopolistic prac tices, we must, still, be zealous to aa sure the foundations of honeet bus! ness. Particularly should wa seek the expansion of foreign trade. We must not throttle American enterprise here or abroad, but, rather, promote It and take pride In honorable achievements. We must take ui» the serious prob lems of transportation, of Interstate and foreign commerce. In a sensible and candid manner, and provide an enduring basis for prosperity by the Intelligent use of the constitutional powers of congress, so as adequately to protect the public on the one hand, and on the other, to conserve the es sential Instrumentalities of progress. I stand for the principles of our civil service laws. In every department ol government the highest efficiency must be Insisted upon. For all laws and programs are vain without effici ent and Impartial administration. I cannot within the limits of this statement speak upon all the subjects that will require attention. I can only say that I fully Indorse the platform you have adopted. I deeply appreciate the responsible ty you Impose. I should have been glad to have that responsibility placed upon another. But I shall undertake to meet It, grateful for the confidence you express. I sincarely trust that all former differences may be forgotten, and that we may have united effort In a patriotic realization of our. national need and opportunity. I have resigned my judicial office, and I am ready to devote myself un reservedly to the campaign. ROOSEVELTMAY NOT RUN Declines Progressive Nomination al "This Time." Whether the Progressives will have a ticket no one can tell. George W. Perkins doesn't know. Victor Mur dock doesn't know. In fact, nobody knows. The Idea prevails In Chicago that Theodore Roosevelt will not run against Charles Evans Hughes. Wll 11am Loeb says he will not. The Progressive convention noml nated Colonel Theodore Roosevelt fil president, and Colonel John M. Parker, of Louisiana; "for vice president. A few hours later the delegate* list ened without protest to a from Oyster Hay, saying that Roose velt would not "accept at this time.' Colonel Roosevelt's declination wa.» conditional and it was placed in the hands of the - Progressive national committee, to be he'd until such time as statements to he made by Justice Hughes, the nominee of the Republ' can party, "shall satisfy the committee that It Is for the Interest of the coun try that he be elected." The delegates never had wavered In allegiance or cast a passing glance upon another man. Three minutes be fore the convention adjourned Chair man Raymond Robins read to them tb brief message from Oyster Hay, In which Colonel Roosevlslt declined to accept the nomination. The significance of Colonel Roose velt's message, with Its m that If the Progressive national com mlttee found the subsequent state ments of Charles Evans Hughes, tht Republican standard bearer, to Its Ilk lng, his non-aci upturn c ot the Progres slve nomination should stand as hi last word, was lost in that tircl throng, worn out by Its own entb si asm, by long delays over peace i.arleys with the Republicans and by the dls C'ussion of a platform, on which ll must go Into the field, It at all. agilnsl both the forces of bemo racy and Ue publicanlsm.

In response tc the spur of the Sea lers they promised more than SIOO,OOO to carry on th fight. 11 was pledged in enthusiasm and the contributions tumbled In al moat as fast as they could be recorded. Colonel Roosevelt's message was si follows: "I am very grateful for the honor yon confer upon me by nominating me an president. 1 cannot accept It at this time. I do not kn r ,w the attitude of the candidate of (be Republ'can party toward the vital question* of the day. Therefore, If you deilre an Im mediate decision, I must decline th' nomination. lint If you prefer It, I suggest that my conditional refusal to run be placed In the of the Pro grestlve national committee. I', aftei Mr. Hughes' statements, when h makes them, shall satisfy the commit tee that It Is for the lntcrost of th* country that be be elected, they can act accordingly and tre.it my refusa as definitely accepted. If they are nol satisfied, tt.ey can so notify the Pro gresslve party sr.d at the same time they can confer with me and then de termlne on whatever action we may severally deem appropriate to meet th needs of the country." In the event the national commit tee shall be satisfied that aid should be given the Republican party In Its fight against the party now In power Colonel Roosevelt's refusal to make s campaign will be couaidered final.
