Chicago. July 23.-1llinois politics
were declared by Roosevelt leaders
to have been much cleared" by Gov
ernor Charles S. Deneen's announce
ment in Springfield tina he would not
adhere to the third party movement
in the coming presidential campaign,
but that he would support President
Taft.
On the heels of Governor Deneen's
went to Springfield to question him,
Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon, Colonel
Roosevelt's manager, declared: THAT
puts he governor out of the progress
sive party and a full third party state
ticket will be put in Illinois with a
candidate for governor friendly to
Colonel Roosevelt"
Medill Mccormick. head of the state
Roosevelt forces, announced that a
third party ticket undoubtedly would
be selected at the state convention in
Chicago August 8.
There never were any clouds on
the Illinois horizon, but now even the
haze has blown away and the sky is
clear" said Senator Dixon. When
Colonel Roosevelt started to head a
third party he intended it to be a
national party In every sense of the
word. His personality was not mere
ly the issue. A third national party
must have lungs, heart and legs, and
1t cannot exist without full state or
ganizations.
Every state in the country, posi-
bly, with the exception of South Caro-
lima. will in effect have a third state
ticket. West Virginia, California and
South Dakota will have the regular
republican machinery for Roosevelt,
because they went over in body for
him. In the other states they will
put out an independent ticket.
1.-The issue. so far as Illinois is con-
cerned, is now between Governor De-
neen and the progressive candidate
who will oppose him on the Roose-
Welt ticket. 1 don't think any other
candidate has a chance"
Many names were suggested as pos
sible candidates on the third ticket,
but all were mentioned without con-
sultation with those concerned.
Senator Dixon said he would re-
main in Chicago several days before
returning east. He expects to talk
over with the local committee the ar
rangements for the national conven-
ton on August 5. AS to the temper
ary chairman of the convention, can
didates for vice president and the
organization Of a national committee,
Senator Dixon said those were ques-
tions that would develop later. AL
most all of the Roosevelt leaders who
had fought for the colonels nomina .
ton at the republican convention had
been suggested as vice presidential

WOOL TARIFF BILL
MAY Be DEFEATED
Believed Enough Votes are
Against it in Senate to
do the Work.

Washington, July 23.-Enough sup
port has been secured in the senate
for the bill to extend the corporation
tax to individual and co-partnership
enterprises. 1t is believed. to make it's
passage probable when it comes to a
vote next Friday.
Leaders in the senate today made
the prediction that the democratic
wool tariff bill would be defeated
Thursday; that the excise tax bill has
passed. and that out of the fight on
the democratic sugar tariff bill, Sat-
urday, substitute may be evolved
which will receive enough republican
Votes to pass 1t.
There apparently has been a ma
terial change in the sentiment in the
senate, toward the democratic meas
ures. Many progressive republicans
have indicated a desire to vote for the
excise tax bill. While the house pass
ed this as remedy for the deficit that
free sugar would create, many SEN
ators believe 1t would be wholesome
thing to make individuals and co-part-
nerships pay the same tax for the
right to do business that corporations
are now forced to pay.
II the excice tax bill is adopted Fri
day, it is not unlikely that some form
Of sugar tariff revision bill will be
brought forward Saturday as a repub-
lican compromise measure. The demo-
cratic bill. sent over from the house,
which placed sugar on the free list,
will be defeated; but there is a grow
ing sentiment in favor of measure
half way between the existing duty
and that advocated by Senator Bristow
and other progressive republicans.
Senator Gronna Of North Dakota is
anxious to attach to one Of the meas
ures. II 1t is to be passed. an amend
ment repeating the Canadian recipro-
city law, which still remains in effect
so far as this country is concerned.

James O'Grady walked out of the
house Of commons yesterday, swearing
that he would not keep his seat
among the lawmakers while women
and children starved to death.
O'Grady had been asking Premier
Asquith what the administration pro-
posed as a settlement Of the strike
situation and had received reply
that further efforts by the govern
ment were impossible.
He had then demanded a debate on
the subject and received refusal
from the speaker.
This is damned scandal" he
cried, tearing up his notes and scat
tering them broadcast with furious
gestures.
Before the speaker could call him
to order he had left the chamber.
O'Grady, who is a Labor member,
has sat for Leeds East since 1906. He
was born In 1866. at Bristol, and took
up socialist and municipal work in
