policies Of the progressive party in
the nation and state marked the ad-
dress of Temporary Chairman Guthrie

ton.
We see clearly" said Guthrie, that
the progressive campaign is doomed

10 the republican party continues its
campaigning. Every republican vote
cast for the democratic ticket will be

Of the proEressives.'

DUN and recall Guthrie said. what
the country needs is men OF higher
character and greater competency in
our legislatures and congress.

LIKE A CRUSADER

Little Rock, Ark, Sept 25.-"I feel
as if l had been in a crusade" said
Colonel Roosevelt today. He said he
was well repaid for his western cant
paign. AT the bottom, the colonel
continued, the progressive movement
is a religious one. He said one of
the things that impressed him most
was the singing of Onward Chris
tian Soldiers" at meetings he ad
dressed.
1T is pretty hard to improve on
the bible" he said. "All We are try.
ing to do in the Twentieth century

Third Term for Governor

ing Star, owned by former Senator
Smith, at 2 o'clock this morning con-
ceded the nomination of former Rep
resentative William Hughes as the
democratic candidate for the United
States senate over James Smith, Jr
Hughes plurality is estimated at
twenty TO thirty thousand. Governor
Wilson openly opposed Smith and
supported Hughes.
The vote for the third democratic
candidate, Frank NJ. McDermit of
Newark, was a negligible quantity, as
his candidacy was not taken seriously.
The republican preferential vote
was cast almost unanimously for
| United States Senator Frank o.
Briggs, the only member of his party
to file a petition.
THIRD PARTY OUT.
The third party movement cut no
figure in the primaries, as there is
no provision in the law under which
/ such a party could be recognized
| either in the preferential vote for
/ United States senator or in the NOM
/ nations for congress, state senators,
/ members of the legislature, and coun-
ty and city Offices, which were also
made yesterday by the two major
parties.
The signal defeat of former Sena-
tor Smith was hailed with delight by
| the followers of Governor Wilson, at
whose instance three other candidates
had been persuaded to-~withdraw in
order that the fight against Smith
might be concentrated upon one man.
