Formally Repudiated by Pro-
greSsive Republicans of the
State
(By Associated Press.)

ueHt WIN the opening OF the Deauo7
cratic campaign in Ohio today, Gov.
Woodrow Wilson gave his hearty
approval to the formation in New YORK
of the Wilson National Progressive
Republican league. The gvernor and
Rudolph Spreckels, now in New York
in charge of the movement. exchanged
the following kilograms made public
today by the nominee:
New York, Sept. 10. 1912.
Governor woodrow Wilson. Colun-
bus. Ohio:
Eastern headquarters of the Will
son National Progressive Republican
league were today opened in the Met
ropolitan building. New York. Dur
league was founded by Progressive
Republicans. who hope to have the
Progressive movement that was
started some years ago in the Repub-
lican party but whiG,, is now being
trayed by the organization OF Colonel
Roossvelt's third term party. Under
these conditions you alone deserve the
support of true Progressives who
place principles above partisanship.
sour membership is wholly Repub-
lican. but we feel justified in voting
and working for your election since
the candidate of the Republican party
does not represent the Progressive
majority in that party and Rosevelts
candidacy is hopeless and only serves
to divide our Progressive forces

WILSON'S ANSWER.
your telegram telling me Of the
formation of the Wilson National Pro-
gressive Republican league gave me
the deepest qualification and encour-
agement. The action you and your as
sociates are taking seems to me truly
patriotic The Progressives Of the
nation ought not to be divided No
mere attachment to party maine
should now separate men whose pur-
pose and convictions are united for
common object. The formation OF the
league seems to me one Of the most
reassaring indications OF the temper
of thoughtful men. May not convey
to you my congratulations on your
own part in the movement
