T. R, IN JEFFERSON COUNTY.
Third Party May TIE Org anized with
Virgil X. kellogg At the Head.

WATERIowN. June 30 Immediate
steps will be taken in Jefferson county
to ascertain the sentiment with reference
to third party. and an organization
will doubtless be effected with Virgil X
Kellogg. tho champion Of two successful
independent judicial campaigns. one
against former Attorney General John
C. Davies. at the head. Kellogg has long
been an ardent Roosevelt man and has
a big following in the county. He at
tended the national convention solely
as spectator.
There are many Republicans. particu-
larly among the farmers. who will not
support Taft and prefer Roosevelt. al.
though some would vote for Wilson or
Harmon. The Taft reciprocity propo-
sition has caused them TO feel as they do.
and they would have much the same
feeling toward Champ Clark. How far
they will go in the third party movement
will be determined on at u meeting to
