 Before l left Chicago, and again at Oyster Bay, when Comptroller Prem dergast of New York came out to see me, stated that the third party move ment and my candidacy would not be in any way affected by the outcome at Baltimore I never go into a fight on a contingent basis.
 T shall, of course, continue to stand for the progressive nomination. I have just been going over with Sen ator Dixon the call which is about to be issued by the provisional commit tee for the progressive national con- vention.
 'To my mind. what has gone on in Baltimore for the past 10 days has shown the utterly irreconcilable na- ture of the elements within the Dem ocratic party, elements so irreconcila- ble as to make it hopeless to expect for them any prominent reform move ment along constructive lines'
 While the Democratic convention was nominating Gov. Wilson, Roose- welt was in New York, in conference with Senator Dixon, his campaign manager before the Chicago conven- tion; Frank A. Munsey of New York, Charles H. Thompson of Vermont and Bainbridge Colby of New York.
 The call for the national convention virtually is ready.

Jack" Marshall Drowned

While in bathing yesterday afternoon with two of his com rades, Jack" Marshall was drowned in the Terre Rouge creek at Steele's Bridge, six miles east of this city.
 It is not known just how the young man came to drown, as he was a good swimmer and the bathing place was not large, but very deep. The boys with him were Wheeler and Minor Gordon and state that Jack made dive from spring board into the deepest part of the water. When he came up they saw that some thing was the matter with him and he sank again. Minor Cor don attempted to bring him out and was pulled under and it was with difficulty that he loosened his hold and reached the bank in safety.
 After realizing that they could do nothing for the young man the Gordan boys went to the nearest house for assistance and telephoned to this city. A num- Der of citizens immediately started for the creek in auto mobiles and Messrs J. D. Cor nish and Berry Hesterly reached there just as the body had been discovered and taken from the water. Effort was made to re suscitate him but the body had been in the water about three hours. It is generally supposed that Mr. Marshall was stricken with cramps when he dived in the water and was probably sui fering so when he came to the surface the first time that he could not warn his companions of his condition.
 Joseph Paul Marshall was the youngest son of Mr and Mrs. J. w. Marshall, of this city, was sixteen years of age and stood high among his many young l friends in Prescott.
 The funeral services will be conducted at the family resi- dence tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock by Rev. A. M. Shaw. Burial in the DeAnn cemetery. Ike pail bearers will be Ali Jones. Clark White, Richard White. Jimmie Black, Edwin Black and Cecil Gee.

Many novel methods of securing votes
In The Washington HeraId's 81, 900 con-

the fact that success was to be obtained
not by the contestant spending an alb

by enlisting the aid OF friends in secur-
