EIGHTaOF THEM WITH DELE
GATES FROM 28 STATES
HOLD CONFERENCE.
Form Permanent Committee to Push
Candidacy of Theodore for President
VIII Garry Fight to Convention
Want People in Each State to Elk
press a Choice by Direct Vote.

Chicago.-Eight governors and dele
gates from 70 states met here and in
an informal conference organized per-
manent committee to push the candi-
daev of Theodore Roosevelt for presi-
dent The governors, Walter r. Stubs
of Kansas, Charles S. Osborne of Michi-
gan, Herbert S. Hadley of Missouri,
Chester Aldrieh of Nebraska, Robert H..
Bass of New Hampshire, w. +. Glass
cock of West Virginia R. L. Vesey of
South Dakota and j. M. Carey of Wy
oming. after an executive conference
by themselves, addressed letter to
Colonel Roosevelt asking that he let it
become known that a demand from the
people that he accept the nomination
would not be unheeded.
The permanent organization of the
committee which will carry the Roose-
welt fight to the convention is as fol-
lows: Chairman, Alexander II. Revell;
vice chairman, Edward j. Brundage;
secretary, Edwin w. Sims; treasurer,
Dwight Lawrence.
AL AShCS0 oh IAhooCNCAes
The meeting was without disagree
ment and the resolutions adopted de-
clared "all are agreed Theodore Roose-
welt is the one man who can, at this
time, unite all elements of the party
and attract a large number of indie
pendent voters
The resolutions further favored "an
expression of the people s choice for
president by direct vote for candidate
in each state.
They conclude with protest
"against the use of organized political
machinery, based on patronage, to de
prive the people of any voice as tC
their real choice. "
In statement signed by the eight
governors the following was set forth
Momentous questions are pressing
for solution. What the country is seek
ing is justice between man and man
1t wants equality of justice, safe
guarded by adequate law.
Real Leader Wanted.
90 A principle is of no avail withou
man. Il cause Is lOSI WITHOUT Il leduel
In Theodore Roosevelt we believe tn
people have the man, the cause, tn
leader. 1t is our opinion that this i
the sentiment of the people in the state
we represent.
1T is nothing to us that Theodor
Roosevelt is not candidate for tn
republican nomination. We believe tn
people have decided to make him thei
candidate 1t is for the people to dc
termine who shall be their leader, IRE
spective of the wishes of the citize
selected.
Knowing the high sense of publ
duty with which Colonel Roosevelt
imbued, we are satisfied that he vii
not refuse to heed the call of the pee
pie; that he will, if nominated accep
the nomination, and if elected will dis
charge the duties of the chief magis
trate with the same faithfulness an
consideration of the interests of all tn
people and display the same rugge
courage and will apply his well-knowi
doctrine of the square deal that his pas
record indicates.
The conference was executive, as wa
the meeting of the governors, who de
elined to give out copy of the lette
they sent to Colonel Roosevelt.

WALSH TO RESIGN

But General Superintendent of
Motive Power May Be
Urged to Remain.

Officials Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway have learned unofficially that
j. +. Walsh. general SUPERINTENDENT OF

sign the position which he has held
for the past six years. The ncces-
sity for an extended rest has prompt
ed him to this action.
MIR. Walsh is now In Atlantic City.
attending the convention of the Mas
ter Mechanics and Railway Car Build
ers' Association. and it is from that
city the report comes. Such action Is
not unexpected. since no has for some
time felt the need of rest and rccuper-
aEion from a long period of hard
work
1t is quite possible however. that
some arrangement will be made to
preclude the necessity for a resigna-
ton. An officer of the Chesapeake
and Ohio said last night it was prob
able an extended leave of absence
might be the outcome. since the road
will be most reluctant to lose him.
The position of general superinten-
dent of motive power has been held
by Mr.. Walsh with much success. He
has been a railway man In mechanical
departments all his life, except for a
period. when he represented the Ga
lena OIL Company in this city and

BOOKING SYSTEM
MAYSTAND IN WAY
New Theatre, if Built, Must
First Get Contract With
Producers.
K. & E. SUPPLY THE ACADEMY
Not Likely That Syndicate Will
Break Agreement With
Wells Company.

While no definite information is
forthcoming in regard TO the plans. re-
ports that local business men are nego-
tiating for the erection OF big the
atre at Jefferson and Main Streets have
aroused discussion as to the class OF
attractions which are TO be offered in
the event that the structure Is erected.
From what can be learned. it is tho
intention of the romoters to put the
house in the top class. so far as the
booking is concerned, although in and
out OF theatrical circles the statement
has been made that klaw & Erlangcr.
who produce almost everything, will
not break with the Wells people after
years of association dating back to the
time OF Thomas G. Leath
few years ago. when the fight was
on between the so-called syndicate and
the independents. William A. Brady.
representing the Independents. came to
richmond to get help in the matter OF
building theatre. In q little while
the fsh; ended: Brady is now playing
IN klaw d Erlanger houses. and accord
ing 10 the more recent reports. the Shu-
herts are preparing to line UP with
their old time enemies 1t is fact
that many OF the Shubcrt attractions
played at the Academy of Music during
the past season.
M hooking ARRANGEMENTS.
IN order therefore, to secure the big
attractions II would be necessary for
the new theatre owners and managers
to force break between Klaw & Err
LANCER and the Wells people. which is
not at all likely. mainly because OF the
long years of friendship. success and
association. but more especially be-
cause the Wells people own and control
a string of theatres in the South. y
break in Richmond would cause one
along the entire circuit and as the
booking profit in any city is the same.
regardless OF the theatre. no induce
ment could be offered I<law & Erlangcr
to part company with old customers
unless the old customers found 1t nee d.
cssary to retire.
So far as can be ascertained. no ar
rangements have been made with * law
Il Erlanger to switch their attractions
from the Academy to the new house

however fine. could hardly prosper un-
less 1t could put on bis shows. The
open door stll prevails at the Academy;
anybody can play there.
While the city would be glad to have
another big theatre. the business is Sc
different from all others that no build
ing plans Will be put forward unless
contracts are signed in the meantime
with producers. 1t might not he a diff
fcult matter to take the bookings away
from the Wells interests except for the
fact that there arc Wells theatres in
nearly n dozen cities. and If klaw &
Erlanger should cancel contract il
would mean tremendous fight in the
South.
