test against any hint of sectionalism
In the new progressive party was
made by Colonel Roosevelt, who said
that he did not "care a rap" where a.
man was born or whether his father
wore the blue or the gray so long as
ne was the right type. Colonel Roose-
welt was told of a speech made Thurs
day by Major General Daniel e. Sick
les of New York at the meeting for
the organization of the new party in
this state. Major General Sickles was
quoted as saying Woodrow Wilson
was born amid rebel surroundings
and that we of the North have never
been disposed to put such a man in
the White House."
Colonel Roosevelt said he could not
discuss the speech, but that it was the
desire of the founders of the new
party to make the movement one
which would truly represent all Sec
tions of the country.

Vention," he continued, Stated that
this was to be a nationwide, nom

the sectional or other jealousies and
bitternesses Of the past. In my speech

accept the Progressive nomination if
rendered to me, also stated that we
appealed alike to the men who wore
the blue and the men who wore the
gray, and the sons of the men who

In the Union army.
No man has been more prominent
in this movement than Judge Ben
Lindsey, born in the South, whose

We appeal to Northerners and South
ernens, Fasteners and Westerners
alike. All ask is that the man him
self be of the right type and as an
American he face in patriotic spirit,
from standpoint of one to whom all
the citizens Of this country are equal

Claims of Successes and Subsequent
Denials Came Thick and Fast From

London, Oct. 20.-No really serious
fighting has yet been reported in the
Balkans. The Montenegrins have
captured Balva and Gusinje, and the
Greeks have occupied Elassona, but
these are regarded as minor affairs
In which no real assistance was offer

frontiers the situation is little chang

Bulgarians have captured Kirkh-
Kilisseh, but like many similar re-
ports this is probably untrue.
From both Constantinople and Sofia
are issued constant denials of sue
cesses claimed by the respective op-
ponents. For instance, an official

has become so serious that the !au-

such inventions.
The Servians advanced in the di-
rection Of Uskup and encountered lit

Large numbers Of war correspond

will work under the greatest difficult

imposed. According to a Belgrade
