C.. SEPTEMBER 12, 1912. UNANIMOUSLY ACCLAIMED NOMJ. NEE BY PROGRESSIVE PARTY. DRAMATIC SCENES ENACTED Former Cabinet Member, While Act. Ing as Chairman, Placed in Nomination. Syracuse, N. Y.-Oscar S. Straus, former secretary of commerce and Aabor, in the cabinet of President -Roosevelt, was unanimously acclaim ed the nominee for governor by the Progressive party in a stampeded convention under circumstances not only unexpected, but dramatic. 4 The former cabinet member, acting as the convention's permanent chair man, was about to entertain a motion from former Lieut. Gov. Timothy L. Woodruff to expedite the roll call on the names of State Chairman William H. Hotchkiss and Comptroller Wil liam A. Prendergast of New York, when a delegate from New York county leaped to his chair and de manded to be heard. "It's 'Suspender Jack' McGee,' cried a voice from the gallery. Chair man Straus looked puzzled. McGee, who got his name In the Indian country by riding a broncho int tamp, with suspenders used as reins, moved resolutely toward the plat form. "They say I'm crazy, but I know what I am doing," he cried, as he swung up the platform steps. McGee, a flaming bandanna around his neck and his coat blazing witb badges, tossed his rough rider hat on the floor and demanded the right to make a nomination. "Whom do you wish to nominate?' asked Chairman Straus, but McGee gave ony a meaningless shake of the head. Delegates cried: "Put him out!" But McGee stuck to his pur pose. Delegates and spectators booed and jeered as he began to speak. There was a general laugh wjhen he cried: "I'll name a man, the mention of whose name will bring tears of sym pathy to the eyes of almost every man and woman in the civilized land.' He paised a moment and then cried: "I nominate the illustrious an1 honorable Oscar S. Straus." The delegates seemed stunned. Then a few of them cheered. Mc Gee kept on with his speech and the first few cheers,,at -first from a half dozen delegates; gradually grew into a pandemonium that swept the con vention hall. Standards were wrench * ed'from their supports and delegates, yelling and cheering for Cbairman * Straus, paraded the aisles, turning the convention into a bedlam. Chairman Straus at first shook his head deprecatingly. He turned to his * friends aind remarked: 'This must not be. .1 cannot accept"' Chairman Hotchkiss rushed to the platform * Placing his Jiands on Mr. Straus shoulders, he said: "You must ac cept; you must accept; all the dele * gates are for you." Scores of delegates pressed for *ward to. urge Mr. Straus to make the decision. Then Mr. Hotchklss bursi __from the group that surrounded Mr Straus and held up 'before the crust of excited delegates a sheet of yel low paper on which was written: "He accepts." U.

Chicago. - Stone-age love-making, with thumps as marks of affection, doesn't work out right, even though It is advised by a scientific Chicagoan. Johxi Mahoney tried it out, and he knows. ;.John paid $50 for thumping the woman he would take for better or for wPorse. She is now the "steady" of another man. Mahoney lives at 2013 Princeton ave nue, and the other Sunday he arose bright and early and went out on the back porch to read the paper. There he read that Dr. William F. Waugh, dean of Bennett Medical college and chief physician of Jefferson Park hos pital, advised rough tactics in the win ning of a woman's love. "When she ".rouses your jealousy beat her. She expects such treat ment," read Mahoney. "Hurray!" he cried. "Here's the pre scription. Just what I want" Then he read further. It was some thing like this: "There is a constantly thickening coat of the varnish of civilization over man and woman, but underneath they are indehtical with the cave man and cave woman. The human being is un changed at heart. Stone-age maxims still rule." Then John scratched his head and thought. He figured. it all out that Julia Chemeleske, 3231 Albany ave nue, his sweetheart for three years, had slipped .him the "I'll be a sister to you" chatter and was keeping com pany with another man. John waited until evening and then strolled ddwn Halsted street. Sure enough, there was Julia, eating ice cream with a girl friend and probably waiting for the more lucky man.
