Senator Dixon was asked how the Ma
tlonal Progressive party would put UP
tickets in states where Colonel Roose-
Welt did not win in the primaries
"Rv straight conventions" said Sen
ator Dixon. I'VE will hold no more pri-
naries. We haven't figured out the
ends vet but we will put up full tickets
IN every state. We will take at least
second money in New York, and l hope
we may come out first"
Half.siz Convention.
n answer 10 another question Mr.
Dixon said:
1.-THE call lays down no rules as 10 the
method Of choosing delegates. Each
state will be expected TO select its own
delegates by its own paraphernana. Inc
representation to the new party's con-
yention will be cut down 10 one-haH or
the Republican conventions, one dele
cate being allowed to each Congressman
ord United States Senator. This was
considered advisable, since the conVen-
ton is 10 be notably deliberatve oooy'
and will certainly be composed OF an
ferent type Of delegates than those VINO
attended, the Baltimore and Chicago con-
ventiOns."
Senator Dixon next was asked II any
name had been definitely decided upon
for the new party. He replied that inc
convention would IN all probability adopt
the name National Progressive Party
The Senator refused again to give out
the names OF the two Democratic dele
gates 10 the Baltimore convention VINO
called on him and offered their services.
Let the two gentlemen give out that
information themselves" said Senator
Dixon. "All will say is that they were
Clark men and said they were tired OF
the Taggarts and the Sullivans OF the
Democratic party"
Predicts Decline Of Wilson.
Speaking of the chances of the new
party which Senator Dixon regards as
being Of the best, he said;
President Taft will not carry single
Congress district, and from now on Gov
ernor Wilson will begin to lose his popu-
laritv. the zenith of which was reached
four days ago"
He said that the Democrats would
never have nominated DR.. Wilson but
for the presence Of the third party IN
the field.
Senator Dixon took the midnight train
for washington and will remain at the
capital for three or four days. During
his absence Captain J. H. Gregory, OF
Key West, formerly Minister to Mic
araugs and one OF the signers or the
call. will be in charge of the Manhattan
Hotel headquarters.
