NO COMPROMISE
In the Fight for Direct Primary Law,
Says Roosevelt.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Sept 25.-There
will be no compromise in Theodore
Roosevelt's fight for a direct nomina-
tion law, the colonel himself said so
today The question which all along
has been the main issue between Col
oneI Roosevelt and the Old Guard and
which was largely responsible for the
breach between them, is TO be met
squarely at the Saratoga convention
this week Colonel Roosevelt said that
he would not recede from his position
and that he believed enough delegates
would support his stand to put into
the platform plank embodying his
ideas.
His assertion was prompted by re-
ports published this morning that he
had concluded it would be impossible
to influence a majority of the delegates
for a strong direct nominations plank,
and therefore he had decided to accept
a compromise. The colonel was EN-
phatfc in his denial of these reports.
In answer to them he dictated this
ply:
The statement that l have consid-
cred a compromise on the primaries
plank is untrue. l stand exactly where
have stood, and while it is true that
there are up some upstate leaders
who are not with us. believe we shall
have a majority with us for direct pri-
maries."

1t appears that Captain Landon, sta

was cancelled, greatly to the embar
rassment of a number of young women
who had come to the academy from
