that they reversed the right to take
what course they preferred as to
4 leaving the convention.
Roosevelt leaders said it was the
unanimous decision of their men that
they would not quit the hall. They
Will remain in their seats while the
TAFT program was carried through,
| and when the convention is over will
continue to hold their seats and pro-
ceed to effect their own organization.
! Colonel Roosevelt made it plain
that he would not support any com
| promise candidate nominated by the
convention as at present constituted.
He declined to make any statement
| in regard to Governor Hadley or any
other individual. confning himself to
an explanation of his general posi-
tion.
ANY man nominated by this con-
vention as now composed" he reiter-
ated will not be tolerated by the
Roosevelt delegates"
No definite statement could be OBJ
tanned from the Roosevelt leaders as
to the number of delegates they~he-
lieved would support this program.
They expressed confidence there
would be no serious defections
1t was explained that one of the
chief reasons of the Roosevelt dele
gates for deciding not to withdraw
from the convention was the acuon
taken today by the rules committee
which would enable the national com
mittee to MI the seats thus vacated by
h., 81 n.
The plan of acticn adopted by the
Roosevelt leaders is an abrupt cnange
from the position taken by Colonel
Roosevelt and his close associates
yesterday but he denied that it was
an admission Of weakness on their
part, or that their decision not to
bolt was because they could not OBJ
tain the support of sufficient mum
Der of delegates.

have made, said one OF the Roosevelt |
leaders 1T will enable us to hold |

Chicago, June .10.-Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt tonight indicated thai
under certain conditions he might
withdraw from the republican party
TO take the lead in the formation of
new party.
IF the people want progressive
party I'll be in it," he said.
Some of the coloneps supporters
urged their associates tonight tt ore
cipitate the crisis in the republican
national convention at the earliest
opportunity tomorrow.
More conservative councils have
prevailed and it was decided there
should be no bolt from the regular
convention. 1t was the plan OF the
Roosevelt delegates tonight to make
their last stand on the report of the
credentials committee. If the ~
delegates claimed by them to be
fraudulent are seated the Roosevelt
forces will remain in the convention
until the end, but will not vote.
1t is their plan then to proceed 10
the nomination of the colonel in the
Coliseum and claim regularity Tor
him.
Colonel Roosevelt has not definitely
committed himself to the latter part
of this plan. He is considering the
advisability of delaying action Tor
several weeks and then to summon an
entirely new convention. This would
not be held until after the democrats
have acted in Baltimore.
The national convention itself
marked time today waiting for the
committee on credentials to conclude
its consideration of contested dele
gates The committee plannd 10
work throughout the night so as TO
report to the convention when IL
meets at III a. m.
1t was predicted tonight that the
nominating stage of the convention
might not be reached until late
Saturday. wide latitude of debate
is to be allowed in the convention
tomorrow.
Colonel Roosevelt said emphatic
ally tonight that he would make the
independent fight for the presidency
IL he was convinced there was pop
ular demand for him.
II shall have to see If there Is
popular demand for me to run, ne
said.
He added that the situation Wds
such Kaleidoscope one that II would
be impossible for him to outline what
he would do. IL might take some
time, he said, to ascertain the senu-
ment of the people and learn whether
there was reasonable basis Tor the
formation of what he termed pro-
gressive party
One of Colonel Roosevets associ-
ates who talked with him today said
that he had declared his willingness
TO run for president II any consider
able number of the delegates wished
him to. even If he did not carry
single electoral district in the coun-
try. The colonel himself said he be-
iieved he would be able to count on
the support of the bulk OF the re-
publicans in the western states ana
that he would expect to derive con-
siderable strength from the demo-
Gratis He would not express any
opinion how soon after the adjourn

Barn and Live Stock Burned.

Just before dark on Sunday
evening, during the severe thun-
der storm that passed over that
section, the barn belonging to A.
j. Sipes, Of Licking Creek town.
ship, was struck by lightning
and destroyed.
A number of horses were in
the building, but all but three
were rescued. Besides the three
horses burned were a COW belong
ing to Ross Ham, and a bull be-
longing to Charles Mumma.
About 400 bushels of wheat, and
all the hay and other crops that
had been stored this season were
burned. The barn was good as
new, it having been erected less
than eight years ago. There was
some insurance, just how much
we did not learn; but it is said
that the amount is insignificant
in comparison with the loss.
The blow is a severe one to Mr..
Sipes, and his many friends are
very sorry to know of his misfor-
tune.

New Kind of Potato Bags.

d. w. Mellott, of Plum Run,
wants to know if any other farm
er has seen the new potato bug,
fly, or whatever the critter may
be. During a call at this Office
Saturday while his wife was do
ing some shopping, he said that
about two weeks previously his
wife noticed some small, green
insects darting at the leaves of
his large potato patch. She rec
commended that the tops be paris
greened. Being busy, Mr.. Mel
lott did not go to the patch for
perhaps ten days when he found
the potatoes to be swarming with
little insects about three-eighths
of an inch in length, and the tops
nearly dead with blight. The in
sect resembles katydids, an d
flew in clouds in front of him as
he walked through the patch
spraying with paris green.
