Columbus, Ohio Sept. 90. Coinci-
dent with the opening Of the demo-
cratic campaign in Ohio today. Gov

ty approval today to the formation in

in New York in charge of the move

lie today. Mr.. Spreckles. wiring un-
der date Of September 10, said:
Eastern headquarters of the Wilson
National Progressive Republican lea
que were today opened in the Metro
politan building, New York. Our lea
que was founded by progressive re-
publicans who hope to save the re
publican party. but which Is now be
ing betrayed by the orgarization of
Colonel RooseveIt's third term party
Under the conditions. you alone de-
serve the support Of true progress
sives who place principles above par
tisanship. our membership Is wholly
republican, but we feel justified in
vofing and working for your electiopy
since the candidate of the republican
party does not represent the progress
sive majority in that party and Roose-
veItis candidacy is hopeless and only
serves to divide our progressive
forces.
To which Governor Wilson replied:
tYour telegram telling me of the
formation of the Wilson National
Republican league gave
me the deepest qualification and en-
couragement. The action you and
your associates are taking seems to
me truly patriotic The progressive
forces of the nation ought not to be
divided. No mere attachment to a
party name should now separate men
whose purposes and convictions are
united for a common object. The for
nation of the league seems to me to
be most reassuring. May not con-
vey to you my congratulations on your
own part in the movement?p
The governor today knocked the
bottom out of previous plans and de-
termined upon a twelye-hour sleep. 1t
had been intended to have him speak
thIs morning from his train at Toledo,
but the governor protested, and thtk
schedule accordingly was altered, the
governor passing through Toledo dur
ing the night. The day was to bring
together Governor Harmon OF Ohio
and Governor Wilson for the first
time since the presidential contest
began. During the pispary campaign
Governor Wilson dio not visit Ohio
