TEDDY SAYS THERE
IS NO OISCORD
IN NEW PARTY
Colonel Laughs at Suggestion of Ru.
mors-Leave Each State to Work
Out Own Problems.

Oyster Bay, July 21.-"Home rule
is to be the policy in the formation OF
the national progressive party. Afte-
a long conference with leaders from a
number of states, Col Roosevelt said
last night each state would work out
its own problems.
rs there any truth in reports of ser
ious diseord in several states?" he was
asked
The colonel laughed He denied there
was foundation for the report and re.
ferred to the spirit in which the move
ment was begun as shown at its birth
in Chicago as evidence that there was
no room for any serious differences.
Those of you who were present at
the convention in Chicago" he said,
know just hom much truth there was
in statement OF this kind"
1t was pointed out that difficulties
which confront the new party are of
|another nature, consisting rather IN
putting in national organization on
its feet in such short period, espec-
Tally in states where there is a lack
|of capable leaders. George L. Record.
who came here today from New Jer-
|sey; Charles H. Thompson from Ver-
mont, Herbert Knox Smith from Con-
|necticut, J. A. Maginnis and Col.
Thomas Daugherty from Massachu-
setts, denied there was anything in
the nature of break in the new
|party's ranks.
Il want ex-democrats and ex-republi-
cans alike" said Col. Roosevelt He
added that he would insist that in no
state should the new party enter into
an agreement with the republican or
ganization under which 1t would bind
Itself to support electors who would
vote for President Taft, should he re-
ceive the large popular vote. The only
|other restriction he would impose, he
said, would be that in no case must
support be thrown to state candidates
who would not support the national
progressive electors
Mr.. Thompson, who is New England
manager for the new party, said frank
|ly he was in doubt how the movement
would fare In his bailwick.
Mr.. Thompson explained that the
Roosevelt forces would not have con-
troll of the republican organization in
Iany of the New England states and
that 1t will be necessary to name cleo
toral candidates independently.
Are you counting upon carrying any
|of the New England states?" he was
asked.
mo, we are not counting upon il"
he replied, but / think we have
good chance to carry some of them"
Mr.. Record said there was no trou.
BILE in the party in New Jersey
eThe bulk of the leaders favor run
ming an independent ticket through
OUT he said I'VE have won our vic.
tory on the republican party. and I do
not see why we should give that up.
The question will be left open until
after the Chicago convention

Farmers, Cooperative Banks.

President Taft has become one of
the strongest supporters and advo-
Gates of the farmers cooperative
banks plan. On Monday he made
public statistics4 from Ambassador
Herrick showing the business done by
the Raiffeisen banks of Germany. The
President said:
''The size of the average deposit for
these institutions is around 1870. The
average loan they make amounts to
only $3.50 and the membership Of the
Raiffeisen banks averages ninety-fye
farmers. 1t is plainly evident from
these figures that this is not a big
farmers plan. In my letter to the
governors the first recommendation
which | made is for the adoption of
some such form of cooperative credit.
1t was criticized as being calcu
lated for the big farmers. On
the contrary. the adoption of CO.
operative credit in. this country will be
of great advantage to the small
farmer. 1t was in the interest of the
peasant farmer of Europe that this
pldn was eSIdDilSHtu. MdSSdcilu-
sets already has a law permitting the
establishment of cooperative societies
Of this type. Under this law, the
Myriek Credit Union of Springfield,
Mass, was organized, / think in 1903,
and in twelve months it had 105 men,
bers, "a capital of $4,000 and $4,000 of
outstanding loans.
THE results obtained by the adop-
tion of this form of cooperative
credit in Germany speak plainly
enough of its usefulness. There is one
bank for every 1900 of population in
Germany. The rate of interest
charged is frequently a point or two
lower than in commercial circles, yet
the banks make a fair profit which, in
the case of the Raffeisen banks, is all
carried over as reserve fund, so that
each year these banks are strengthen
| ing their position and becoming more
important factor in the empire. The
| total of business done annually is as
founding. 1t is in the neighborhood oil
| $4,000, 100000.
| The principle upon which these
| banks are conducted is not unknown
