"I'hird Party" Element 10 Retain
Control of Progressive States.

WASHINGTON. July 15.-Senator
Works OF California, progressive re-
publican. In statement today de-
clared promoters of the new party
would be guilty Of dishonorable deal
ings II they should attempt to retain
control Of the republican MACHINERY
in states where the progressive faction
controls the republican Party.
Senator Works declared neither Taft
nor Roosevelt had been legally nomi-
mated, that the republican party had
no legal nominee and that the voters
were free TO. vote for whom they
choose. He said this was no time to
form third party, "The time must
come later" he said. The senator
reviewed the Chicago convention and
said in part:

Just as malicious and pust as dis
graceful as the campaign that pre-
ceded II. The Roosevelt forces prac-
tically bolted. Taft received the vote

ventlon.

ITS no time for the democratic
nominee or Independent party to leave

party because II has no candidate.
but the Roosevelt party Is so in
dlgnant and wild that they are not
content with this Independent course.
Nothing but brand new party will

be made up in whole or In part OF tho
men now composing the republican
party in those states They cannot re-
main on committees in state or coun-
ty Of the republican party and at the
same time act with the new party.
This would be treachery of the worst
kind. II would dishonor the new party
at the very beginning.
III they attempt by deceit or in
direct means to hold on to the ma
chinery Of offices of the old party
while working with or for the new
one, or its establishment they can no
longer cry thief 10 the charge OF
stealing delegates at Chicago and no
man Of right political principles can

senator Works said the alternative
for republicans was "to rebuke corrupt
politics" If they didn't believe Taft
was honestly elected, by refrainine
from voting for him, by voting for
the democratic candidate or by vot-
ing for Roosevelt or someone else as
an independent candidate.

When your water pipes freeze II

cover them with cloths kept wet

A frozen ear should be imme-
diately rubbed with a handful of
snow. This will cause painful
tingllng as the blood resumes cir

be persisted in.
If you have to walk on 10y
sidewalks, pull a pair of old wool

will prevent slipping.
Do not commit the error Of
leaving the coat open while shov-

OYSTER BAY, n. y, July 15.-The
formation OF distinct and indepen-
dent party and not the capture of the
republican party is the course Colonel
Eoosehelt laid out for himself tonight
llo took Issue flatly with his sup
porters who have advanced a pro-
posal for effecting an agreement with
the republican organization In some
states, through which, under certain
conditions, the strength of the Roose-
welt following might be thrown behind
President Taft. The colonel viii have
none Of IT,
Il shall not ncquesce" he said.
Cololel Roosevelt made II clear that
he had decided upon thorough going
Independent fight. which VIII put him
in position TO appeal 10 democrats AZ
well as republicans. In states In
which' his followers have control Of
the republican organization. he IL
ready TO carry his campaign on
through that medium. But he Will
sanction no entangling agreements.
mo COmpromise" Is TO be his battle
cry.
The eX-presldcnt was prompted to
make his position definitely known by
reports that in several states, notably
Pennsylvania and Maryland, "A move
ment was on foot 10 have the same
candidates for electors on both the
Taft and Roosevelt tickets, with the
agreement that the ticket receiving
the larger number Of votes should OBJ
tain the entire electoral vote william
Flynn, Of Pittsburg and other Roose-
welt leaders in Pennsylvania, the eX-
president heard, had announced them
selves in favor of the plan, with the
idea that by this method the Roose-
welt and Taft strength would be united
against the democratic ticket
There WI BE No Bargaining.
The colonel said emphatically there
would be no bargaining Of this nature
If he could prevent II. II is his pur-
pose to make his fight with such sup
porters as are willing to assist in tho
formation Of a genuinely new party.
He was confident however, that the
stand he took would not bring about a
break with those who favored the plan
he vetoed.
IF this plan should be put through
in Pennsylvania or elsewhere Will
there be a split?" he was asked.
81 don't think there will be any
breaks ne replied.
Colonel Roosevelt dictated this
statement Of his position
81 sec that in Pennsylvania and
Maryland the proposal has been made
that Identical Roosevelt and Taft
electors shall run, and the electors
who are chosen cast their votes for
which ever one, either Mr.. Taft or
myself gets the most votes. ! trust no
such plan will be adopted. / claim in
every primary state, where the pri-
maries were carried for me, and
where electors have been nominated,
that. as matter of the highest obli-
cation, those men are bound to vote
for me, for | am the nominee Of the
overwhelming majority of the rank
and file of the republican party, and
Mr.. Taft's nomination represents moth
ing but the successful dishonesty Of

chine. and is not binding upon any
honest republican.
