Wants Distinct Party and Not
the Capture of Republican
Organization.

OYSTER BAY, N. T., July 16-Forma-
tion of a distinct and independent party,
and not the capture Of the republican
party, is the course Col. Roosevelt has laid
out for himself
!. He takes issue fatty with supporters
who have advanced a proposal for effect
ing an agreement with the republican or
sanization in some states through which.
under certain conditions, the strength of
the Roosevelt following might be thrown
behind President Taft. The colonel will
have none Of It
II shall not acquiesce," he said.
Col Roosevelt made 1t clear that he
had decided upon a thorough-going fight,
independent Of alliance with either party.
which will put him in position to appeal
to democrats as well as republicans.
States His Position.
ment Of his position:
II see that in Pennsylvania and Mary
land the proposal has been made that
identical Roosevelt and Taft electors
shaln run, and the electors who are cho-
sen cast their votes for whichever one,
either Mr.. Taft or myself, who gets the
most votes l trust that no such plan
will be adopted.
II claim in every primary state where
the primaries were carried for me and
where electors have been nominated that
as a matter of the highest obligation
these men are bound to vote for me. for
am the nominee of the Overwhelming
majority of the rank and file of the re-
publican party and Mr.. Tafts nomination
represents nothing but the successful dis
honesty of the Barnes-Penrose-Gugge
helm machine and is not binding upon
any honest republican.
Contest in the States.
I'm certain Of these primary states, as
understand it, there Is now a contest
on in the primaries to see whether my
name or that Of Mr.. Taft shall be put on
the regular ticket. instead of being nomi-
mated by petition, 1t being the intention
of the party beaten in the primary to
nominate its electors by petition This Is
all right and proper. but. so far as have
any say in the matter. shall not assent
to any arrangement by which under any
circumstances my supporters. or electors
supported by them, shall cast their votes
for Mr.. Taft.
Il make my appeal to all progressives
no matter what their past affiliations may
be. who genuinely believe in progressive
principles, and who believe as / do that
both Of the old party organizations are
completely under the dominion of the
bosses and of special privilege. and that
both the Chicago and Baltimore plat
forms are fundamentally unprogressive
and reactionary platforms. showing that
it is hopeless to expect from either Of the
old parties under present conditions any
real and far-reaching progressive move
ment.
Therefore I hope that in every state
the progYessives. without regard to their
past party affiliations, may have the
chance to vote at the polls for electors
who, in the electoral college. will cast
their votes, for the national progressive
candidate for President.
