Chicago, July 22.-Illinois politics was
declared by Roosevelt leaders to have
been much cleared" by Governor Charles
S. Deenen's announcement In Springfield
to-day that he would not adhere TO the
third party movement In the coming
Presidential campaign, but would support
President Taft.
On the heels Of Governor Deneen's

manager. declared:
That puts the Governor out of the
Progressive party, and there will be a
full third party state ticket in Illinois,

Colonel Roosevelt"
MediIl Mccormick, head of the state
Roosevelt forces, announced that a third
party ticket undoubtedly would be Sc
lected at the state convention in Chicago,
on August 3. Senator Dixon said:
When Colonel Roosevelt started 20 head
third party he intended II TO be q
national party In every sense of the word.
His personality was not merely the issue.
Every state, except possibly South Caro-
lima, will, In effect, have a third state

such as having a candidate for Governor
running on the Republican ticket while
he was supporting the third party candi-
date for President would be undesirable

Senator Dixon said he would remain in
Chicago several days before returning

PACT WITH TAFT ELECTORS
Colonel Not Surprised at De-

lBy Telegraph to The Tribune. J

oyster Bay Long Island, July 2.-Will-
lam Finn, the former Pittsburgh Doss
was closeted nearly five hours with Thco-
dore Roosevelt at Sycamore Hill this az
ternoon, and during that time he told the
third term candidate see many things
about the difference between principle and
politics, az they play politics In the Key
stone State. that he won Colonel Roose-
welt over TO his way Of thinking-that
Finn idea of placing Roosevelt electors
on the Republican ticket pledged 20 sup
port President Taft If his ticket won and
TO support Colonel Roosevelt II the Pro-
gressiye national ticket was victorious.
Standing on what he insisted was "prin-
ciple," Colonel Roosevelt repeatedly de
clined to acquiesce to the Finn "compro-
mise" with Taft electors He demanded
an out and out fight against President
Taft by means OF Roosevelt Independent
electoral ticket To Films mind this
sticking So close 10 principle meant
that he would have TO come out from
behind the regular organization ticket
and thereby let slip his control Of the
Pennsylvania machine into the hands OF
the Infamous" Penrose ring.
Here are some Of the arguments Finn
used on Colonel Roosevelt to-day: In
the first place, Roosevelt already has
thirty OF the thirty-eight electors; the
remainder belong to President Taft. I'M
der the compromise plan. said Finn. It
would simply be question of taking as
many electors as would sign stipula-
ton binding them 20 vote for the candi-
date who polled the highest vote.
If q straight out and out Progressive
ticket were to be named. as Colonel
Roosevelt desired and az will probably
be done In the case OF Kansas the voters
would become confused owing TO the
Pennsylvania election law which re-
quires that the name Of the Presidential
and Yice-Presidential candidate shall APP
pear at the head Of the electoral ticket.
