The Roosevelt camp gradually has
divided into two groups" said George
L. Record, of New Jersey. tonight. "A
new party Is in the process Of birth
AS to the immediate steps to be taken
to usher in this new party there are
almost as many opinions as there are
men. In the inner councils of the
Roosevelt camp. two groups are
forming. One group is satisfied to
beat Taft and have IA more progress
sive candidate nominated. The Sec
ond group believes that the setting
aside of Roosevelt after he has car
ried the primaries would in itself be
a victory for the reactionaries and
the standpatters. If compromise
ticket Is the outcome we must wait
for other times and other conditions
to shape the new movement. If

William Allen White, of Kansas,
Roosevelt adherent, said.
Broadly speaking those who are
interested In politics at home--men
like Stubbs, Bristow and Allen, of
Kansas: Governor Aldrlch. of Ne
braska; Hadley, of Missouri; Glass
cock, OF Wet Virginia. the men from
the Dakotas and Minnesota; Deneen,
of Illinois--are for making the nomi-
nation regular. They already have
captured the republican organizations
in their states and they have an ac-
tive, effective party that Is as progress
sive as any new party could be. They
have no wish to scuttle IT.
They desire Rcosevelts nominal
hand men like Garfield, Pinchot, Me-
dill Mccormick. Beveridge, the
Massachusetts contingent and most of
New Englanders, excepting Governor
Bass, do not control their party or
ganizations at home and will do bet
ter fighting outside the party. The
two classes of men here represent the
extreme of opinion In the colonel's |
councils. There are intermediary |
views and conflicting views.
Colonel Roosevelt himself was in
late in the evening that he was In his
rooms with Mrs. Roosevelt and that
he did not know whether the colonel
was to see his leaders.
A report that Colonel Roosevelt
would leave for New York was passed
tmong the crowds but his secretary
'aid there was no foundation for it.
Absolutely no bolt" was the de-
'laration of scores of delegates and
eaders Of the Roosevelt forces when
hey left the night caucus. which
colonel Roosevelt addressed briefly.
I'VE will go into the convention and
light it out and In the end Colonel
Roosevelt will be nominated" said
Governor Stubbs. OF Kansas. after the
light caucus was over.
Governor Johnson. of California,
lad continued his insistent demand
hat all Roosevelt delegates bolt at
nee. but he fafied.
While events of the last twenty
our hours have done much TO dimin
sh talk OF a third candidate, there
Till is some compromise talk.
1t fails. however. to crystalize.
This compromise talk was the text
{ a statement given out by William
'arnes Jr.. tonight. which stated
Fithoui equiyocatioB that the Taft
eople were not considering now and
'ould not consider. any compromise.
The statement says.
