Mere Followers of
Barnes and Penr,orse i
Are Republicans Of Today Says Col.
roosevelt In Long, Telegram to
: William Allen White, OF Kansas.

New York, July 8.-Roosevelt
headquarters made public here today
a long telegram which Colonel Roose-
velt sent to William Allen White at
Emporia, Kan. ...~. -.--.. ...
Our appeal nationally" says the
telegram, fs, Of course, to all men
OF progressive principles, regardless
or past party differences. The action
loeal lily must be guided by the needs
of the local situation. In any state
where there is no real Republican
party am entirely content that the
local organization should call itself
by the title of Progressive Democrat
&c IT that is the local desire, and If
they support the National Progressive
Electors.
Whereas, in New York, New Mex
leo apd Colorado the local organiza-
tions Of both the Republican and the
Democratic parties are hopelessly
boss-rtdden and reactionary, then we
must have straight Progressive tick
ct from top to bottom, independent of
both the old parties. Where, as
understand to be the case in Kansas,
South Dakota, California and other
states, the local Republican organiza-
tion is progressive and represents the
principles for which We stand, hope
that they will be able to make the
fight locally for good government in
whatever effective organizations they
have
q. Il feel that this year in the pro-
gressive Republican states we should
have the support of the organization
Itself. Moreover, I feel that every
where I have a right to expect the
support of the entire rank and file
Of the Republican party. l made
straight-out primary fight, and in the
states where the Republican voters
themselves had the chance to express
their wishes I won by 100000 plu-
rality.
~-''The titular National Republican
party p7r ,,t!2 to-day is not the party Of the
Republican voters, and Is not the par
ty of Abraham Lincoln, but purely the
party of Messrs. Barnes, Penrose and
Guggenhe1m, who have stolen the
door-plate with the name, but have no
moral right to the name or anything
Nelse. Therefore, l hold that every
honest Republican who is true to
Lincolns memory and principles must
vote with us. Under such conditions
the entire local Republican organiza-
tion In state like Kansas can right
ly continue as such and yet Is In
duty bound loyalty to support the Ma.
tional Progressive Electors. Of
course | feel that in every such pro-
gressive Republican state the progress
sive Republican candidates for any
office should openly support the Ma
tional Progressive Electors and go IN
the same column ON the ticket with
them.

NEW GAME OF POLITICS
Will BE Played by Roosevelt in
Fight To Garry New York.


Fight To Carry New York.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 8.--A game
of scientific politics is to be played
by Colonel Roosevelt this fall in the
bitter fight to carry New York State.
Roosevelt's bold scheme is to put on
his own ticket in different districts
throughout the state, Democratic or
Republican candidates for various Of
fees, who in return for the indorse-
ment of the Roosevelt forces will
agree to work for the election OF
Roosevelt Presidential Electors.
The candidates to go into this trade
are to be men who lean toward the
third party, but who do not want to
desert either the Democratic or Re-
publican lineup.
The only visible drawback to Roose-
velts plan, 1t was pointed out today,
Is to get the men who, while accept
ing the Roosevelt support, will go to
the limit in trying to put through the
Colonel's electors.
Many Republicans and Democrats
in New York, in certain districts, are
anxious to get their names on the
Ithird-party ticket as Progressives,
and are eager to support our cleo
tors" said Roosevelt tonight. eve
/ are working upon it now, and think
you will find a number of them on
the third party ballot"

NATIONAL INDEPENDENT PO-
=. LlTIOAL LEAGUE SPLITS ON
TEDDY AND TAFT. =:
Motion to Condemn
Colonel Roosevelt is Rercted and
Minority Walks out to Call a New
Convention to Oppose Both Repmb-
Hcan Leaders. 80

Philadelphia, Pa, July 6.-The con-
ventton of the National Independent
Political League, which Is composed
Of -Colored -men, broke up yesterday
afternoon with the withdrawal Of
nearly all the officers when a major
lily Of the delegates voted down a mo-
tlon to disband on the ground that
the organization, by supporting Colo
mel Roosevelt, had reversed it's orig
inal purposes.
1t was proposed by motion to con-
demn Colonel Roosevelt for the
Brownsville discharge, but when the
majority rejected this six of the OFF,
GERS, with a few followers, left the
Zion Baptist church, Thirteenth and
Wallace streets, and held a meeting
at 1884 Melon street, and there de-
clded to call a new convention COM
posed of those adherents who arc
willing to stand by the original prin-
ciples Of the league, to oppose both
Roosevelt and Taft.
After the break the majority az
tempted to persuade the officers and
their followers to remain, but they
left the convention after charging
openly cn the floor that the co1ven-
tlon was dominated by men who tried
to induce Colored delegates to break
their pledges and vote for Roosevelt
at Chicago
The officers who left the convention
were Rev. James Milton Waldron, Of
Washington, first president, reelected
national organizer; W, Monroe .Trot-
Ter, Of Boston, reelected correspond
ing secretary and editor of the
leagues organ, the "Guardian,.
William D. Johnson, Of Winchester,
Mass, founder elected second vice
president; Rev. Byron Gunner, Of
New York, founder, elected fourth
vice-president; Emery r. Morris, of
Cambridge, Mass, national commit
teeman for three years, and a few
delegates and minor officers.
hooS w IO udFS lGlJ Tie convention
were especially bitter, and last night
W. Monroe Trotter declared that they
were opposed to both Taft and Roose-
welt, since in the original draft of
principles of the league they con-
demned both as candidates for the
presidency owing to the Brownsville
discharges.
At their meeting after the break
the boilers elected Mr.. Gunner presi-
/ dent and the others to their respec-
tive Offices, adding w. w. Wilker-
son, of Jamaica Plain, Mass, as treas
urer.
The majority body adjourned after
| considering the resolution presented
to them by the minority members
They arg headed by J. r. Clifford, OF
West Virginia, and will probably or
ganiDe party composed of Colored
men to fuse with the third party.
There are about twenty-five men IN
the majority faction of the conven-
ton.

Oyster Bay N. July s.--In fur
therance Of his p1rpose to put the
new third party IN its feet, plans
were outlined hele today Whereby
Colonel Roose evelt ;hopes to cantnrA
local or state tickets from. both tho
Democratic and Republican parties
The move, it. is tproposed, will be
executed within the party organiza-
tions where ROOSEVELT sentiment IS
strong enough to make such an at
tempt feasible ..:...
In certain DISTRICTS" said Colonel
Roosevelt, "the Republican nomina-
tions will be captured for progress
sives who will support our candidates
for electors. In other districts this
will be done through the Democratic
organizations" M>
AS the first step in the plan there
ds under preparation what wifi he
perhaps the most. elaborate political
chart a country ever made. When
completed Colonel, RooseveIt's organ
lzars will have data from every con-
gressicnal. district In the country re-
gardingr the strength of the Roosevelt
following, conditions in both the
Democratic and Republican state and
district organizations, calculations
showing the vote in past national
elections, and lists Of the best avail
able timber for the new party among
political workers and leading men in
business and professions. :
This will be Colonel Rooseyelt's
war MAP. It wifi show him: at ), ),
glance where the best field lies in
each state and district for the success
OF Roosevelt electoral candidates, In
some cases 1t ds hoped to arrange
for fusion Of the independent and Re-
publican or Democratic Tickets nro-
V1ded the candidates on the local tick
cts will support the Roosevelt elect
oTs in exchange for having the Roose-
welt strength thrown to them.
Several promises Of support in New
York city were declared to have been
made to Colonel Roosevelt today. Del
egations from the Claremont Repdb-
lican Club and Hudson Republican
Club visited him.
Colonel Roosevelt was asked wheth-
er the absence from the list of sign,
ers to the call to the new party's ma
| tional convention Of several COVER
nors who have previously supported
him meant that they would not be
with him in the formation Of the new
party.
THAT does not follow" he replied.
L did not make up the list. Each
state did that for itself But in Kali
sas, for instance, Governor Stubbs Is
heartily with us. l received TODAY q
| plafntive telegram from William AL
len White, of Kansas, asking why his
name was not on the list. He wanted
to have 1t there, but it evidently was
omitted through a mistake. Cover
nor Stubbs was not asked to sign the
call, and that was the case with 9th
erS whose names are not on the list
| and who are for u.s."
