TEDDY FIGHTING MAD.
HE DECLARES HE is IN FIGHT
TO THE END.
NO compromise POSsible--He Real
ICES That he May be Defeated and
That He JeOpardizes Success of
Party in State.


Roosevelt served notice today that h.
would wage war without quarter on
the "old guard" of the Republican
party in New York State, Having
been drawn into the fight as he says
against his will, he has determined
to pursue it to the end. win or lose.
Mr.. Roosevelt's attitude was indi-
Gated more clearly than at any time
before by a statement which he is
sued today. The statement follows:
"They will have all the fight they
want. am only going to the con-
vention because I feel that the public
interests, the interests Of the people
of New York demand that the Repub-
lican party be given a chance to stand
squarely and uncompromisingly for
clean, decent, honest politics
Il go to that convention to make
the speech exactly as it had been
planned originally, and while I hope
there will be enough good sense to pre-
vent any one opposing the principles
for which I shall stand. yet if they
do oppose them, then it is their own
affair and so far as I am concerned
the issue shall be absolutely clean
cut"
The colonel said he was going into
the fight with his eyes open, and with
full realization Of the fact that he
might not be successful. He said he
felt that, on account of the attitude
of members of the organization he
was at perfect liberty to carry on
uncompromising warfare.
Some of Col. Roosevelt's closest
friends In the State have told him
they were doubtful as to the outcome,
and he has replied that he himself
thinks that even though he should
be successful in the State convention
at Saratoga and such a platform as
he desired should be adopted, the
result of the election would be In
grave doubt. The colonel has told his
friends that he did not feel sure that
the Roosevelt forces would
receive unqualified support from the
organization at the polls.
Col. Roosevelts Endorsement Of
State Senator Frederick Davenport
yesterday was the first step in the
fight which he expects to carry on
from now until election time. He de-
cided today to go to the State fair in
Syracuse September II to speak, and
at that time may talk politics. He
probably will make a number Of 9TH
er speeches, both before and after
the State convention.
Vice President Sherman, who is
one of the central figures in the
struggle. and whom Col. Roosevelt
opposed by his Endorsement Of Sena-
tor Davenport, said emphatically to-
night he would not talk about the
situation.
Senator Davenport called on Col.
Roosevelt today to talk over the pres
ent situation in this district. Col.
Roosevelt was not willing to say what
conclusion they reached.

Orientals are at a disadvantage in

Mr.. John Hays Hammond, the cele-
brated mining engineer, in a talk with
me or the Manufacturers Record
at his residence in Washington. gave
a very interesting and enlightening
opinion of the South. its resources
and its opportunities for future de-
velopment. The thread of Mr.. Ham
monds argument was that the South
should conserve all its resources and
energies possible for its own use. He
said:
Il think il is a mistake for the
South to continue Indefinitely export
ing the large proportion OF its cotton
crop. Al present only about 2,oOO,-
600 bales are consumed i'll the cotton
mills OF our Southern States, and
the rest. about 10000, 600 bales, is
shipped to other places, large
amount Of il abroad. We should en-
deaVor to increase the number OF
cotton mills in the South ana by de
isrces get into the manufacture OF
the higher classes of cotton goods,
so that all cotton manufacturers may
be represented i'll the spindles OF the
South. II seems to me to be alto
Rethcr pOor business policy TO send
SO large a part Oh the cotton crop
away when il could be turned into
goods right at home. AT least D.
Goa. 600 bales of that which is eN-
ported should be kept for home man
ufactures as near to the point of
production as business considerations
will permit. Moreover, We must in
crease the production OF our cotton
fields. We will have to introduce in
tensive farming, such as is pursued on
the farms of Europe, and in that man.
ner the output of our agricultural
regions can be very greatly increased.
1t seem to me that there should be
more diversified crops in the South,
especially in those sections that are
liable to be infested by the boil
weavil. All this would no. be &C
complshed either today or tomorrow,
but gradually we could advance step
by step until all finished products of
cotton could be made right in the
Southern states.
''Ihe same argument applies also
to the great lumber and mineral re-
sources in all the states south of
Mason and DixOn's line and the Ohio
river Instead of shipping such large
proportion of lumber to other sec
tions. and also to other parts of the
world, we should develop in the
South various manufacturers to util-
ize the timber output, conserve all
that is possible for home use. The
same applies also to coal, particular
~ to our coking Goals, which can be
Aused for the manufacture of iron and
steel and finally making the finished
products of these metals into machin-
cry and other things. Locomotive
works. carbuilding plants and various
factories to construct the different
kinds of machinery in demand can
all in time be established in the South
to far greater extent than they are
at present, and to the economic ad-
vantage Of the section itself as well
as to the men who are engaged in
the business of conducting these in
dustries.
