THIRD PARTY LIKE A ROSE
ANY Name at ALI Will Do Locally,
Saws Roosevelt.

Theodore Roosevelt, in a telegram TO
William Allen White, Of Emporia, Kan,
made public here yesterday, says that the
supporters Of the National Progressive
party may take locally whatever name
seems best to suit the conditions so long
as they support the National Progressive
electors. In some states they may even
call themselves Progressive Democrats, ac-
cording 10 his notion.
Mr.. Roosevelt's telegram Ia az follows:
our appeal nationally is, OF course, TO
all men Of progressive principles, regardless
of past PARTY difference. The action locally
must be guided by the needs Of the local
situation In any state Where there Is no
real Republican party l am entirely con-
tent that the local organization should cdll
itself by the title of Progressive Demo
cratic IL that Is the local desire and Il they
support the National Progressive electors;
Where. as in New York, New Mexico any
Colorado the local organizations OF ootu
the Republican and the Democratic parties
are hopelessly boss ridden and reactlohaIy,
then we must have straight FrogL essiSs

TO LET PRIMARIES DECIDE

Greensboro. N c., July s--Repubican
state leaders active in the recent cam
paign in support of Theodore Roosevelt
adopted resolutions at conference here to-
day favoring the reference OF the issue
righttul nominee to the precinct primaries
throughout the state The resolutions de
clared that We cannot indorse the action
OF the recent national convention at Chi
oago. or recognize such action as binding
upon the allegiance Of Republicans.
The conference was called by Richmond
Pearson, Republican national committee
man, and was attended by a majority OF
the North Carolina delegates 10 the Chi
cago convention.
The referendum agreed on is TO the pri-
maries which select delegates 10 the state
convention. which will probably be held
in August. The resolutions adopted bind
the two factions to abide by the action of
the next Republican state convention, and
call for instructions binding the twelve
electors 10 be chosen by the convention 10
vote for Roosevelt for President as the
rightful and only legitimate candidate OF
the party for the Presidency"
North Carolina, II was stated, will not
be officially represented at the Roosevelt
convention in Chicago, the state CONVEX
ton being held after II has convened
Mr.. Pearson stated that by to- days ac-
ton the question of Roosevelt or Taft In
this state would be clearly up TO the
people He declared Roosevelt supporters
would control the state convention.
