BULL MOOSE NOMINATION
EXPECTED TODAY
A. I*. A. Service.
CHICAGO, Jpnc Kinging declara
tions of Americanism and preparedness,
spiritual, economic and industrial, are
itie keynotes of the progressive national
platform completed yesterday in co
operation with the republican convention
platform builders and presented to the
convention during the afternoon session.
Although the platforms of both par
ties was constructed jointly and the
two parties have worked in hnrinony in
all minor matters, the republicans ar-*
ohviously disinclined to meet the pro
gressives in regard to the nomination
and it is now becoming apparent that
there will be two tickets In the field.
Murdock summed up the situation to
day when he said: “We have left the
door open but the republicans don't seem
to he coming In." The republican lead
ers. too, discount the success of the
pence talk. Most of them are of th"
opinion that action .tanking to a recon
ciliation has been delayed so long that
the majority of republican delegates
have decided to proceed without regard
to the third party and nominate Hughes.
ROOSEVELT WILLING TO
ADDRESS STAND PATTERS
A i’. A. Service.
CHICAGO, June Si.—Roosevelt, In a
lengthy telegram to Jackson, today an
nounced his willingness to come to Chi
cago and address the republican con
vention if tlie convention desired him
to do so and also expressed the hope
that both conventions would realize the
gravity of the present situation and
shape their actions in accordance.
"I very earnestly hope," he said, "that
tho republicans and progressives as
sembled In Chicago will keep steadfast
ly in mind the gravity of the present
crisis, not only for America, but for the
world, and heed that their actions, in
dignity, foresight and patriotism shall
rise to the level of that crisis."
It is generally accepted hero that
Roosevelt's wire is simply a feeler
thrown out by the nstuio colonel for the
purpose of learning the attitude of the
republicans. It is significant that his
obvious Invitation to the convention to
invite him to appear has so far gone
unheeded.

LONDON, June 9.—Publication of the l
German losses In the Jutland battle by
the German admiralty has given the
London press an excellent opportunity
to indulge In facetious remarks concern- j
ing the German claims to an overwhelm- I
< sea victory and the Germans arc
coming in for much ridicule because of {
llie great celebrations held in honor ol
the alleged defeat of the Hellish fleet.
