ton Thought Possible.
velt's new political party probably will
hold it's initial convention in about six
weeks.
All doubt as to the colonels intention
of heading a third party was swept
away yesterday, when he conferred
with his political aides and made plans
time possible.
Colonel Roosevelt ignored the warn
ing of certain financial interests, whose
Representatives were skeptical as to
the ultimate success Of the move, and
told his followers that regardless of who
the republican convention nominated
as president there was a demand for
the new party and that he intended to
be in 1t.
Early in the day there was pro-
posed a plan to hold trump" conven-
ton at the close of the republican con-
vention. Rather than sacrifice the
chances for success Of the proposed
third party, however, Colonel Roosevelt
announced to his followers that it first
would be necessary to do considerable
missionary" work, and declared
against the scheme and against a
bolt" from. the regular convention.
No compromiss Possible.
As the colonel is unalterably opposed
to agreeing to any candidate nominated
by the convention as 1t now is consti-
uted. there is absolutely no chance OF
the Taft, Cummins or LaFollette fac
tons effecting q compromise with him.
Senator Kenyon, campaign manager
for Senator Cummins, had short con-
ference with Colonel Roosevelt early In
the day. The proposition Of COM
promise was put up to the colonel and
he rejected 1t without qualification.
Mr.. Roosevelt told several of his fol-
lowers during the day that the Taft
forces had divided and that BOSS"
Barnes, of New York, was in control
Of the presidents adherents.
A short time before the convention
reconvened the Roosevelt followers
learned from their leaders that the
colonel had announced that majority
Of his advisors favored the third party
idea and that the minority was waver-
ing and shortly would Join the ranks
Of the Roosevelt progressive party. az
the new Organization will be known
ovsrturos to 0omoorats.
Dynamite Edward Perry, chairman
OF the Oklahoma delegation. was au-
thorized during the day to take the
first step toward forming the new par
ty. Hep will go to the democratic ma
tional convention at Baltimore and
make overtures to the progressive ele-
ment of the democratic party.
The plan is to attempt to induce the
democratic progressives to cooperate
with the Roosevelt third party pro-
gressives in the holding Of conven-
ton for the nomination of a candidate
for president.
Instructions have been issued to the
Oklahoma delegates by the progress
sive republicans in that state to lend
all possible assistance in organizing
the new party.
When Colonel Roosevelt was advised
from time to time Of the decisions OF
republican convention he practically
gave up all hope that the convention
would agree to purge its ranks of the
delegates who the Roosevelt forces
charge were fraudulently elected.
California Action Aid.
The failure of the committee to un.
seat the Taft delegates from Califor-
mia, which the colonel charges was the
most fragrant instance Of actual theft
frightened the chances for an immedi-
ate formation Of the proposed third
party.
AS soon as the California decision
was reported to Mr.. Roosevelt it was
evident that he had lost his last hope
that the convention would carry out
his wishes.
Bulletin after bulletin reached the
Roosevelt headquarters telling Of the
progress of the committees work
When the colonel saw that there was
nothing favorable to be expected fol
the rest Of the day he accompanied
Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Ethel Roose-
welt for an automobile ride thru Lin
coin park and over several north side
boulevards
| Colonel Roosevelt was pleased when
he was told that support Of his third
party had come In the way Of tele-
grams from Oklahoma republican pro.
xressives and that the democratic and
republican progressives Of Rockford
ILL.,. were preparing a petition asking
him to lead the new organization.
Colonel TO Hold Meeting.
Before the many conferences with his
agreed aides ended it was Tentatively
agreed that Mr. Roosevelt will hold 8
mass meeting for delegates before he
leaves for his home at Oyster Bay. II
was not announced when this meeting
will be held.
Orchestra hall has been engaged BY
the Roosevelt forces. 1t has beer
equipped with telephone and telegraph
instruments, and 1t is likely that within
the next day or two an actual starr
toward forming the new party Will be
made.
Colonel Roosevelt was Informed by
the Idaho delegates that they would
