No Suggestion of Another

Has any suggestion been made" was
asked of Mr.. Prendergast, that any
other than Colonel Roosevelt should lead
the fight for the new party7'
II will answer that question for Mr.
Prendergast." said the colonel. I'm the
statement which made In Chicago on
Monday I said that 1 would stay in the
fight to the end Since then I have re-
ceived hundreds of letters and kilograms
urging me to so on with 1t and not one
of them suggested that / get out of it.
In every case my reply is just what
said in Chicago
The comptroller said the reason he was
anxious to make It clear that Colonel
Roosevelt would make the fight was that
the Interests" which defeated him at
Chicago would do anything in their power
to keep him out of the White House and
for that purpose gladly would accept any
other progressive. In Chicago he con-
tinued some Taft leaders asked him to
go to Colonel Roosevelt with the offer
to give the nomination to Governor Had
ley or any other man that the colonel
might name. They had even offered, he
said, to put the Roosevelt delegates from
IeAdS ana washington pdck On tne llst
If he would consent to this Colonel
Roosevelt corroborated this statement and
added that the same interests were hard
at work at the Baltimore convention and
were willing to take up any of the DEM
ocratic progressives If they thought they
could thus defeat him.
Comptroller Prendergast said in a state
ment that he had pointed out to Colonel
Roosevelt that the overshadowing issue
was "Whether the nomination for the
presidency can be stolen and the people
not be given an opportunity to pass judg.
ment on the theft"
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1912-06-27
To Defeat Roosevelt Only

''The object for which this fraud was
perpetrated,' he said, was the defeat
of Mr.. Roosevelt, not the nomination of
anybody else. This will be successful if
any other man is elected to the presi-
dency The object of every honest man
should, therefore, be to elect him. Should
either Mr.. Taft or a democrat be elected.
the successful conspiracy will be COM
pleted. If the presidency or a nominal
ton for it can be stolen and thieves es-
cape unpublished, what security can there
be for property or order?
Offers of assistance in the organiza-
ton of the new progressive party are
reaching Colonel Roosevelt by mail and
telegram. he said today, at such rate
that he would be unable to acknowledge
most of them for some time.
Many of the letters contained money to
be used in the work of organization. One
man, whose name was not disclosed, sent
his check for $500.
Colonel Roosevelt mounted his saddle
horse this morning and started for
long ride.
He said that he had a ''mddling
amount of work ahead of him and that
he hoped to have few weeks of COM
parative rest now.

WILL STAY IN FIGHT

Oyster Bay, N, Y, June 26.-The issue
upon which Colonel Roosevelt is to make
his campaign for the presidency was in
dicated by him today. He purposes to
base his appeal upon the assertion that
what he has termed the big sinister in
nuences" have determined to eliminate
him from public life because he is the
one man whom they really fear.
To accomplish this purpose he believes
they are willing to take up any man
whom they think can win the presidency
over him. Having defeated him at the
Chicago convention, he says. they hope
to control the democratic convention to
this same end.
THEY know me and know them,'' he
said. 1T is anything to beat me. I am
fighting O lone hand and I am going to
fight 1t out to the end"
The former President made this remark
after long conference with William A.
Prendergast. comptroller of New York
city. Mr.. Prendergast came to Oyster
Pay to induce Colonel Roosevelt to say
definitely that under no circumstances
would he withdraw from the fight

WINTER SCHOOL

The annual Winter School of Ag-
riculture. Forestry and Home Econ
omics, at the State College, at Pull
man, Washington, will be held this
year from January 9 to February IA,
inclusive. This Winter School has
been growing in interest and effect
iveness from year to year and the
coming session bids fair to be the
best in its history. Especially strong
courses in live stock production,
dairying, poultry raising, and fruit
growing have been arranged and
several new and extremely attract
i've courses for women have been
planned.
The use of the gasoline engine and
practice work in the forge room in
simple home blacksmithing are two
new courses to be given on Satur-
day of each week. To learn how to
avoid the loss of time and expense
of having repair work done in town
will, in itself, amply repay the time
spent at Pullman.
There is NO tuition. The only ex-
pense is for board and room, and
for such books as anyone may wish
to buy. The railroads have granted
a reduced rate of one and one-third
fare, on the certificate plan, for the
Winter School.

"Dean of Deans"
In the
U.S.Foreign Service

ALVEY AUGUSTUS ADEE, just in
~ his SEVENTEEN year, had a
d u birthday celebration in Wash
ington. attended by secretary
of state, couple of assistant secretaries
Of state, an ambassador or two and a
number Of United States ministers, con-
suls general and hosts of diplomatic Of
ficials, who told him how glad they
were that the dean of deans was still
with them in the foreign service Of the
United States
Mr.. Adee celebrated the day by 60
ing to his Office as second assistant Sec
rotary Of state at exactly the same hour
he has taken up his duties almost daily
for twenty-six years.
A Wide World Personality.
In the course of the day Mr.. Adee re-
ceived messages of congratulation from
every corner Of the world. testifying
impressively to the way his remarkable
personality and long service in the de-
partment Of state have swept aside the
usual anonymity Of his Office.
Mr.. Adee Is recognized at the depart
ment Of state as an authority on inter-
national law and procedure. He is the
most expert craftsman Of state papers
now in the government service.
Besides acquiring a fund Of knowl-
edge and a proficiency in his profess
sion as an officer Of state to an extent
beyond the capacity Of the average
man, Mr.. Adee has developed a versa
tility almost beyond belief.
He has been frequent contributor to

SHE ADVOCATES.
Gait, Il am sure that eventually every
sensible woman in the country would
be copying the fashion. It requires
only leader and few stanch follow
ers to make a new movement catch on.
Their costume permits the greatest
ease Of movement. They can climb
ladders. go MP and down stairs in CON-
fort. bend and use every muscle Of the
body without suddenly feeling con-
scious of strain, while we-well, what
can we do in the dress we wear today?
Nothing. or next to nothing, without
feeling hampered.
American Woman Mere Clothes Rack.
1.-The American woman. like her Eu-
ropean sister. is nothing more or less
than a rack upon which dressmakers
hang their ideas embodied in the fash
ionable fabrics of the day. We are ut
terly helpless in their hands. They do
what they will with us. and we have
submitted for years and will go on sub
hitting to their sartorial vagaries un-
less we rise up and defy them by
adopting q conventional and unchange-
able style Of our own.
Can you fancy the Chinese women
being made the slaves Of few Euro
pean dressmakers? They would not
permit it.
"That is one reason why am advo-
eating dress reform movement, why I
think it is time for the American wo-
man to throw off her letters and loose
her body as she has loosed her mind
and soul. The reason that l suggest
the Chinese style Of dress is because
while in the orient studied practically
every type Of feminine costume, and
consider the Chinese the most admira-
BILE in every way. We could change it
a little to suit our taste if we liked"
but the Chinese women wear trou-
sers," whispered a woman, apparently
Mortified at the idea.
Trousers Are Not immodest.
"Of course they do. but they are not
the least bit immodest or masculine
looking" replied Mrs. Gait. In GER
tain sections Of China the women wear
loose. straight hanging trousers, made
of silk or other material, according to
their class. and over this garment they
wear straight. loose coat. which
comes below the knees usually and but
tons over Oh one side. This garment is
collarless, so you see no strained and
disfgured Threats among the Chinese
women from wearing high collars
The sleeves they wear are half tight
and end between the elbow and the
wrist.
But the most radical change Of all
that suggest Is for women to go with
out hats. Hats are utterly useless"

He is master of several languages, an

He has made many important discov-

John Hay as secretary to Madrid. He
and John Hay became close friends.

the death of Secretary hay. He was
transferred to the department of state

For Operating Plants after
They Are Built Here
viii Be Sought.
AT THE LOCAL BANKS
AS a Part of the Plan of the
Board of Trade to Rem
der Assistance

At the regular board of trade
weekly luncheon. held at the Waldo
hotel today. the matter of a bond
issue for improving the highways In
the districts Of Clark and Coal was
continued under discussion, and
George NJ. Honheimer, as counsel
for the committee, reported further
upon the legal status OF issuing
bonds
The present outlook under the adj
vice of counsel is unfavorable to-
ward securing the bond issue de-
sired. Tt viii probably mean going
before the legislature with recon-
mendations to enact bill to cover
the needs of the individual districts
within the state for this special pur-
pose. The matter Will be taken up
by the local board of trade with the
West Virginia State Board of Trade
in an effort to secure the desired
legislation In case this means
fails good roads for this territory
would have to be financed through
a county bond issue.
The board members also took up
at this meeting the matter of adopt
ing some plan of financing the re-
quireme.lts of new concerns seeking
a location in Clarksburg. AS it is at
present. there is no well defined plan
looking to the assistance of corpo-
rations coming here where a larger
amount of money is required than
can be secured through the ordinary
accommodations from one banking
institution. It is the purpose OF
the board of trade to actively get
behind a movement which will Sc
cure the cooperation of the banks
through some method of paper en-
dorsement as is incorporated in what
is known as the "Williamsport. Pa,
plan with. perhaps, some modrf-
cations.
It is not the purpose of the local
organization of endorsing any guar
antee fund. which Will mean the
financing of any outside corporation
other than to assist N providing for
working capital after plant has
been erected and fully equipped In
such cases the assets would be ample
protection to the endorsers and any
loss through mismanagement or
otherwise. would be reduced to a
minimum.
