Colonel Roosevelt Gives Out First
Statement Since Election.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Nov. IL
Theodore Roosevelt has issued his first
statement since the election. 1t was
made public tonight. In part, it is:
Il congratulate the Progressives of
this country is congratulate the
good men and women who, with sincerity
OF purpose for the common good, have
had the vision to look into the coming
years and see what the future demands
from US who work in the present. What
the Progressive party has done since the
theft of the Republican organization by
the Republican bosses at Chicago last
June is literally unparalleled in the
history of free government, worked
under representative institutions. Three
months have gone by since hundreds of
earnest men and women gathered to
found the new Progressive party.
Without much money, without any
organization against the wealth of the
country, against the entire organized
political ability of the country, against
the furious opposition from upholders of
special privilege, whether in politics or
business, and with the channels of infor-
nation to the public largely choked, the
Progressive party has poled between
four and one-half million of votes; have
hopelessly beaten one of the old parties
in the electoral college and in the popu-
lar vote; have carried several important
states in the union and have taken Sec
ond place in the nation and either first
or second place in some thirty-seven of
the forty-elght states.
The Progressive party has come to
stay. If either of the old parties will
endeaVor to put into legislation any one
of our planks, it can count upon our
hearty support in so doing; but we will
not rest content until the entire plat
form is enacted into law and becomes
part of our political system, national
and state. am proud, indeed. that the
good fortune has been mine to fight
shoulder to shoulder with the men and
women who in the ranks and in various
positions of leadership have waged this
great battle for social and industrial
justice.
$50 far as being over, the battle has
just begun. We will not rest content
until every feature of the Progressive
programme has been put into effect,
and when this has been done unquestion-
ably others will have opened to US new
avenues along which it will still be
duty to work for the moral and economic
betterment of our people"

ANDERSON MAY FIGHT
FOR PROHIBITION
Anti-Saloon League Leader Quoted as
Being Favorable to Such Legislation.

In the Baltimore American Monday
was an article on future political activ-
itY in Maryland. In that publication
the statement was made that it would
be the "neXt legislature or never, " for
the Local Option bill advocated by the
Anti-Saloon League, which W. H. An
dersonIs superintendent.
Mr. Anderson, in discussion Monday
the question of next legislation or
never" for the Local Option bill, said:
The American was entirely right this
morning, when, II stating that if the
Democratic, Republican or Progressive
parties let matters quiet down, the
Anti-Saloon League would keep things
going, and that it was this time or never
for the Local Option bill This does
not mean that the league is going to
quit. but that last spring the head
quarters committee and the state board
adopted resolution declaring as the
matured policy declaring of the league
that if the Local Option bill should be
beaten in the session Of 1914, the league
would start at once to elect legisla-
ture which would submit to the people
statewide prohibition constitutional
amendment.
The recent Overwhelming victory in
West Virginia, reported by the superin-
tendent of that state to be 70. 600 ma
jority, indicates what may happen in
Maryland on that basis, also shows that
our action last spring was most timely.
In other words, if the city of Baltimore
is not willing to accept our proposition
of letting the city settle its saloon ques-
ton for itself by the vote of its own
people, the state will take hand and
settle it for the entire state, including
the city. We do no believe that the sit
uatiOn is yet quite ripe for statewide
prohibition in Maryland, but we believe
that If a reasonable self-government
measure like the Local Option bill is
again beaten, that it will make enough
sentiment to Justify the more drastic
effort.

HAPPY WEDDING BELLS MAY
YET RING FOR YOUNG COUPLE
Efforts to Reconcile Miss Rose and
Mr.. Hamill are Being Made.

Persistent efforts are being made to
adjust the difficulty which caused the
announcement by Mr.. and Mrs. Horace
Il. Rose OF Johnstown, Pa, that invita-
lions to the marriage of their daughter,
Miss Gladys Rose, and Stuart F. Hamill,
of Oakland, had been recalled. The
break was caused by mistake by Mr.
Hamlll IN placing a letter written by
him to a lady in Cincinnati in an en-
velope addressed to Miss Rose.
Gilmor S. Hamill father of Stuart F.
Hamill, made the following statement
of the affair.
The engagement of Stuart F. HAM
ill to Miss Gladys Rose, of Johnstown,
Pa, has existed for at least three
years. During the summer of 1912 he
became acquainted with al young lady
OF Cincinnati, o., but paid her no ser
ious attentions, and after she left Oak
land the first of September they had
some correspondence. About 10 days
ago Stuart received a farewell letter
from the Cincinnati girl, requesting
him to answer 1t, which he did in the
way of a joke, but with no serious in
tentions, and in the hurry of business
IN his office in writing to Miss Rose he
put the letter in the envelope addressed
to her which was intended'f for the other
girl.
The sending of the letter was not
known to anyone except the intended
bride, and about y o'clock of the night
before the intended ceremony she
questioned Stuart about the letter and
it resulted in a lovers quarrel, but
Miss Rose called up an uncle, Percy
Allen Rose, who was especially inter-
ested in her. and after he perused the
letter he advised his niece not to 90 on
with the marriage until after there was
some explanation made of the letter,
and thereupon the intended bride and
groom parted
The day appointed for the wedding
this uncle said the wedding ,twouId not
take place unless there was an eXpla-
nation from the bridegroom-elec which
was given by him by simply stating that
there was no intention on his part not to
carry out the marriage contract.
During the day Stuart was visited by
several friends of the Rose family in an
effort to bring about reconciliation,
but this was not consummated, and at 7
O'Clock, after the hour of the intended
ceremony, Mr.. Hamill received a mes
sage from the Rose family requested
him STUART to remain over in Johns
town and call at their residence. Just
what occurred then has not been made
known to Mr.. Hamill's family, but in a
letter received from Stuart he intimated
very strongly that the matter would be
adjusted and there would probably be a
marriage in the near future.
There was certainly no intention on
the part OF Stuart to interfere in any
way with the marriage and it was stated
by friends of the bride that she was
much agitated over the matter and even
went so far as to blame her own family.
but no particular member, for interfer-
ing in the matter and not allowing the
marriage to go on. The HamilI family
and friends returnedIthat night to their
home in Oakland and Stuart went
to Baltimore on the following day from
Johnstown and has been there since the
occurrence.

THE EMPRESS

There was a fair attendance at the Empress last evening ana an evidence of general appreciation of the work of the Gaiety Comedy company The ap- plause was voluntary and cordial. The musical numbers were bright and the chorus made itself popular by clever work. Bud Duncan got away with several glad hands" and Miss Leigh, the Los Angeles songstress, was twice recalled. Miss Leigh has a sweet voice and sang unaffectedly with no trace of that stiltedness that gives the au- iience a long distance chill. She Is clever. wOmanly and would be popular with the ladies of the audience as well as the men. The mingled melodies of the chorus and the good work of Miss Howard give tone to an otherwise weak production. McQuire's coon and Moran's Charley stunts are not half bad and the company has suc- cee1ed in the herculean task of ex- tracting a reasonable degree of enter tainment out of the piece. Monday nights bill is a hummer, one of Bud Duncan's big successes. and the house will doubtless be packed to standing room.

THE CONTRACTOR RULES OUR
 PRISONS.

The American magazine announces ir the January number that it is to begin series of articles. entitled The Man in the Cage" This series IS to describe the life and labor of the man behind the bars. The charge is made that contractors rule our prisons Following is paragraph from the announcement:
 We all know what the old lease system of the south was. Today that system is virtually dead. only two or three states retaining that ancient shame; but in it's place has arisen, particularly in the north. a system which is actually less profitable to the state and quite as ruinous to the prisoner This is the contract sys- tenn The state builds great fac tories. eduips them with heat. light and power. fills them with helpless laborerS. mans them with armed guards. then turn the plant over tO an outsider for fifty or sixty cents % day for every man employed. Some times the labor is sold for far less. The contractor. as a rule. runs the prison often. tO all intents and pur- poses. he owns it. At best. he has no human or moral interest in the prisoners.
