the matter this morning. Mr. Long
said after being named as chairman
Of the meeting Of the National Pro-
gressive League Of Delaware. / decid-
ed could do much more effective
work for progressive principles we're
/ not candidate for Office. / advised
some Of my leading supporters Of this
fact and word is being passed to my
friends in the various wards and in the
shops.
81 am especially grateful to the mer
with whom / had worked in the shops
and who had rallied 10 my support
While / am ready to accept for the
| present, the private assurances that
Alleeism will play little or no part IN
the Progressive party. 1t hardly seems
fair TO voters not to lay this matter
before them in detail and state the
authority for the claim, but this / an
not privileged to do.
"The progressives should immediate
ly counteract the impression that tn,
new party is simply disgruntled bolt
ers from the Republican organization
Giving former Democrats importan
places in the third party would prov,
that the Progressiyes are really non

The exodus followed raids upon
the American colonies and the seizure
of all arms, ammunition and horses
found in the possession Of Americans.
Resistance on the part of the Ameri-
cans was quickly overcome by a su-
perior force, and the colonists were
told to get out or be killed.

be inevitable unless the rebels retire.

PROSECUTION FAILED TO SHAKE
Bellows STORY. CASE TO
JURY BY FRIDAY.

Tulsa, Okla, oct. 2l.-The theory
of the defense in the Reuter- murder
trial will be outlined to the jury Tues
day morning, as the states case praC-
ii. ally mas closed today when the
cross examination of Bud Bellew fin
ished. 1t is not known for certain
what line the defense will follow,
but it is generally understood that
attempt will be made to show that
Bellew himself did the killing.
Attorney Thompson was unable to
shake Bellows story today by cross
examination. The squealer answer
ed all questions quickly and positive
ly and although a trfle nervous at the
close made a far better witness than
expected. Attorney Mallop declared
after the defense had finished with
Bellew that the states case was strens-
thened materially, the strong points
in his testimony being brought out
prominently.
Ten new witnesses have been sum
moned by the defense in addition to
the 12S used by the prosecution, who
are now at their disposal.
Attorney Ben Thompson, represent
ing Baker and Mackenzie, stated Mon
day that the examination Of their wit
nesses probably will be accomplished
by Wednesday night. 1t is believed
that the closing arguments will con
sumo two entire days. From these
indications it appears that the case
will go to the jury Friday.
