tween the members of the new progress

OF whether candidates of the party In

make their tight at the Republican
primaries was put up to the district
and county organizations.
The committee recommended to the
convention, when IL met this afternoon,
that 1t decide for itself the question
OF what the Presidential electors shall
do. The recommendation WAS made,
however, that the progressives run Il
complete independent Congressional and
legislative ticket, but that the candI-
dates decide, after consulting with their
local committees, whether they will
also fight for the Republican nomina-
ton at the primaries
Ihe committee also recommended to
the convention that the candidates
adopt the party name to be decided Oh
by the Chicago convention next month.
All the delegates wore Roosevelt hut
tons and declared their allegiance to
the colonel.
Former Governor Stokes and CoI-
gresham Charles N. Fowler, who had
been reported wavering in allegiance to
colonel Roosevelt, took a leading part

WILSON WAIVERS ON
QUESTION WHETHER

Nominee Uncertain as to
What Attitude to Take in
Acceptance Speech.

SEAGRT, N. j., July 23.-Governor
Wilson has left Seagirt. and today is In
seclusion writing his speech of accept
ance Of the Democratic Presidential
nomination. He will be away three
days and possibly a week When the
governor left here he was undecided as
to whether to attack the bosses in his
speech or pass that issue over In favor
of others like the tariff and the high
cost of living.
One element among the governor $
intimate advisers favor a concilatory
course toward bosses. They have sug-
gested that whereas the Democratic
platform contains no plank on the boss
question. II is not incumbent upon him
to speak of II, and that the effect of
any harsh words would be a disturb b.
ance OF the harmonious condition of the
Democratic party.
Another element, representing more
particularly admirers of William j.
Bryan, wants Governor Wilson to at
tack the bosses.

Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin is at
outs with Roosevelt, Is not supporting
the third party. and IL doing little CO.
operating just now with the other pro-
gressive Senators. At the same time,
he Is out to make vigorous war on vari-
GUS candidates for Congress who are not
progressive, and In whose districts the
question of progressivism an issue.
Senator La Toilette, through his week.
ly publication, is out in a scathing at
tack on the political record of Congress
man John j. Esch of the Seventh Wis
consin district. Esch has been general
ly looked on as having some progressive
leanings. He is one Of the authors of
the famous sch-Townsend railroad bill
which caused a stir in Congress some
years ago. Senator La Toilette, how
ever, has started war on him, and Is
out to defeat him for denomination in
the primaries. La Toilette Is supporting
Anorew ID. Dahl. who Is one of the
ieading progressives of Wisconsin.
Well-Known House Member.
Esch has become one of the we'll
known members OF the House. and the
result of the war La Toilette is waging
on him will be watched with much in
terest by politicians. In Wisconsin, the
fight to beat Esch has stirred up State
wide attention.
Senator La Toilette goes over the rec
of Esch In the House in great detail,
and charges that he has lined up against
the progressives most of the time; that
he has often supported the reactionaries
and that he-never lifted a finger for the
progressives in Wisconsin. La Toilette
charged that SO far as Esch has taken
part In Wisconsin politics, II has been
In favor of the reactionaries and against
the progressives.
Assails His Record.
La Toilette In going over Esch's rec
ord In the House says he has voted
against the civil service system and for
the spoils system; that he favored the
railroads and express companies by vot-
ing against a measure to require rail-
roads and express companies to pay
their share of the Spanish war revenue
taxes; that he was easy on the trusts
that the Esch-Townsend bill was a
, weak measure: that he voted to let off
the Santa Fe rebaters; that he support
ed Cannonism, and the old rules in the
House; that he was supporter of Bal
linger; and that he voted to sustain
Taft's veto of the wool bill and the
farmers free list bill.
These and other things about Esch's
record lead La Toilette to the conclu-
sion the Wisconsin member from the
Seventh district Is not progressive,
apd that Esch ought no longer repre-
basis of the statements of La Toilette
the opponents of Esch will wage an ex-
tremely active campaign against him
and believe they will beat him.
