to Take Issue With
Critics.

Sea Grit, New Jersey. - Governor
Woodrow Wilson and Senator-eIect
Ollie James of Kentucky, who was
permanent chairman Of the Baltimore
convention, have decided to have the
governor formally notified of his nomi-
nation on the lawn Of New Jerseys
Little White House" here at 2 O'Clock
on the afternoon of Wednesday, Aug.

Mr.. James came up from Washing
ton and had a long talk with the nomi-
nee, during which he was requested
10 name as late a day as possible to
afford Governor Wilson to catch up
with his correspondence, now some
10000 letters and kilograms behind.
The speech of notification will be
short and the governors reply will
sound the keynote of the campaign.
Mr.. Wilson let it be known that he
would deal with the high cost of liv-
ing and the tariff which he regards as
the leading issues. He will include
reference &c other planks of the plat
form also. Until that time, however,
ne Will nave niue 10 say III reply 10
criticisms Of the platform by Theo-
dore Roosevelt or anybody else. His
speech OF acceptance, which he will
shortly begin to draft, will be his first
public comment, he declared, upon
the party platform.
Every attempt to induce Governor
Wilson to take issue with any critics
OF his failed. He discussed the high
cost of living as an issue, saying that
he regarded 1t as the leading issue,
with the tariff at the heart of it, but
declined to comment upon Colonel
Roosevelt's u~tterances.
Mr.. James went to New York in
tending later to leave for Washington,
where he will write members Of the
notification committee Of the date set
for formally apprising Governor Will
son of his nomination. The COM
mittee will meet, he said, at the I'm
perial hotel in New York on the morn
ing OF August I and come in a body to

These men include members or con-

that will elect United States senator's
state and county Office holders anu
party candidates.
If the movement to petition MI

in the interest of party harmony, ma
ask Colonel Roosevelt also to with

an independent nomination n permil
a compromise selection OF some man
agreeable TO both factions.
1t is the desire of the promoters OF
the scheme that a decision shall be
reached before August 5, when the
Roosevelt faction plans to hold a con-
v~ention in Chicago.
The circulation OF petitions, it was
declared. would be made within n
week. 1t was said the movement
would begin spontaneously in every
state.
The organizers nov are circulating

The authors Of the plan expect to
offer to practically every Republican
voter In the United States a chance
to express his opinion Of Mr.. Tafts

There will be no special effort made

IS AGAINST THIRD PARTY

Washington, D. c. Senator Cum
Minis of Iowa, Progressive Republican
candidate for the presidential nominal
ton at the Chicago convention, for
mally declared against the new party
movement led by Theodore Roosevelt
and announced his allegiance to the
old party.
In so doing Mr.. Cummins declared
that bosses could not be escaped by
organization of new parties and hiatt
to those Republicans who, after in
telligent inquiry, conclude that Presi-
dent Taft's denomination was the re-
suit of fraudulent votes, the nominee
of the convention is not the nominee
of the Republican party" He point
ed out, however, that disappointment
or individual dishonesty cannot be a
foundation of a new party.
John G.. Capers OF this city. South
Carolina member OF the Republican
national committee. who supported
Colonel Roosevelt for the presidential
nomination at Chicago, also formal
ly, announced his intention to support
President Taft's candidacy.
Senator Cummips' statement was
his first public utterance since the
Chicago convention nominated Mr.
Taft. Mr.. Cummins pointed out that
throughout his public life he had been
fighting to make the Republican party
the Progressive party of the country
and that while he had never hesitatef
to d%enounce party politics, when he
believed them to be wrong, or de
nounce party leaders, he had always
believed that the Republican part,
offered more hope for substantial
progress toward good government,
than any other political organization
