The report was as follows:
"To the Republican National Convention:
"Your committee, appointed pursuant to the resolution adopted at yesterday's session, met in conference with a committee representing the National Progressive Convention last evening. The Progressive Committee of conference consisted of Messrs Perkins, of New York; Johnson, of California; Bonaparte, of Maine; Wilkinson, of New York, and Parker, of Louisiana.
"The conference was frank, free, and most friendly. The conferees were of one mind, believing that the good of the country, and perhaps its repute and influence for years to come, depends upon the complete defeat of the present Democratic administration and the restoration of the control of the executive and legislative branches of the government to the hands of those who firmly believe in and will execute the policies that are so heartily supported by the Republican and the Progressive parties alike.
"The Progressive conferees were unanimous in urging with temperate ness and fairness the opinion that Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, had so large a personal following and such a close personal relation to the issues of the coming campaign as to make him the most desirable candidate upon which to unite.
"It was agreed that your conferees would report these facts to this convention.
"Respectfully submitted.
"REED SMOOT.
