 Governor Hadley denied today that he told L. A. Ellis of Kansas City over the telephone yesterday that if the TepuDllCun 1uulcldl cdnuluateS were nominated by the progressive party they would withdraw from the re- publican ticket if required to line up for President Taft.
 Governor Hadley sought to convince the colonel that the interests of those who advocated progressive principles lay in the renomination of the repub- lican candidates by the progressive con vention, In the letter he said:
 '"rhe proposition that confronts you and your supporters is as to whether the control of the affairs in this state would be turned over to the candidates of the democratic party and its sue cess insured by division of those who would naturally oppose them. such result would necessarily follow the nomination of progressive state ticket"

ROOSEVELT SPENDS DAY IN MINNESOTA Resumes Journey Westward to Grand Forks, N. D. STORM SIGNALS OUT Progressiyes Having Trouble in New York-Ohio Bull Moose Begin
 Active Fight in President
 Taft's State

St Paul, September 5.-Minnesota heard frst-hand from Colonel Roose- welt today his reasons for asking sup port for the new progressive party. The colonel spent the day in St. Paul and Minneapolis. and made three speeches. Tonight he resumed his jour ney westward with Grand Forks. N. D., as his next stopping point.
 Colonel Roosevelt's principal address today was at the Minnesota state fair. He declared that the nomination of Woodrow Wilson at Baltimore was ar ranged by the democratic bosses" Then he went to Minneapolis and after luncheon given by the Minnesota Pro gressive league he gave his views upon the significance of the progressive movement from the standpoint of the moralst rather than the politician. To- night he made a brief address at the fair grounds where he attended q farm dinner"
 q am in this movement" said Col onel Roosevelt in his address in Min neapolis after the luncheon, because 1t springs, as every great movement must, from the conscience of the peo- pie.
 Politicians Are Blind
 "rhe politicians have been blind and deaf because they have ignored the fact that in the last few years there has been a steady growth of discon- tent with the slipshod inefficiency in dealing with tho great economic, in dustrial and ethical problems of the day.
 If I have rendered any service it has been to bring about the movement a little quicker than it would other wise have come. I don't think that our political expression has represented the best that is in us. When we get the proper standards we will see that any man who profits by such theft or con- dones it is unworthy of public conf dence."
 Colonel Roosevelt, saying that Gov ernor Wilson had said that the demo- cratic platform was not a programme, asked:
 Then what is it? The minute that any man announces that their plat form does not tell the truth they con- demn them selves for putting 1t forth and they condemn the man who is un- fortunately compelled to stand upon it.
 He is willing to abandon the pro- grcssive state ticket Colonel Roosevelt told the Minnesota leaders, only if 1t is possible to take over the republican organization bodily. It Is understood that decision will be postponed until after the primaries.
