A second resolution was passed stip-
ulating that if the rs delegates held by
the Roosevelt people to have been iran
dulently seated were given their seats
by the credentials committee the Roose-
welt men would not participate in the
convention but would not bolt. Col.
Roosevelt declared that he did not
think Il bolt necessary, but that the
delegates at all times reserved the right
to act as they thought best and remain
in the hall and perfect their organiza-
tion. Roosevelt declared that he would
not support any compromise candidate
selected by the convention as long as
the convention permitted the rs fraud
ulently seated delegates to remain IN
the hall as delegates and that he did
not hold himself bound to consider any
act, done with these votes to be legal
'The republicans of the nation will
not accept any candidate nominated by
the convention as it is now constituted
as republican convention,'' he said.
Strong Arm Ruling
The sudden shift in the plans of the
Roosevelt committee in regard to the
open bolt came about as a result of D
ruling made by the rules committee to
the effect that if any committeeman
bolted the rules committee could elect
another man to fill the boiling mem
ber's place instead of allowing the
state committee to make the selection
as formerly was the method
Shrewd Move
"This is the shrewdest move we have
yet made stated Roosevelt leader
90 as it will enable us to hold regular
republican convention by regularly
elected delegates. The acts of any
convention in which illegally seated
delegates participate is not legal. Any
act taken by Root has no binding force
because of this taint upon his title 70
Office
Governor Stubbs of Kansas con
ferred with Roosevelt for a short time
and came out stating that there would
be no bolt. Roosevelt has never
spoken of bolt to me-, he declared,
"and is not in favor of bolt. There
will be no compromise candidate either.
That can be taken as certain.'
Other Leaders Talk
ga new party is in process of being
formed.' stated George L. Record of
New Jersey. 1T may not have a new
name or it may, but it's spirit and intert

INSTALLING PLANT
dfgarten Plans Almost
Celeummated. Gold Brick
Ito Un|oadon City
A COMEDY OF errors

During the past week it has been
pretty clearly indicated that another
gold brick is about to be handed to
the taxpayers of Glenwood Springs.
The list already is a long and expens
i've one, including such brilliant speci
mems as our city hall and fire alarm
system, but the one with which we are
now threatened, to-wit, ''the best plant
that money can buy is the limit OF
endurance.
After dragging along for nearly two
years, the Mutual Light Heat & Power
company is giving heated demonstra
tion of its lighting powers by putting
in steam plant of exactly half the
horse power of the steam plant long
ago ditehed as antiquated by the Glen
wood Light y Water company, and
which, though only used as an auxiliary
to the water power, was found prohbi-
tive at the rates received.
The miscellaneous collection of bean
poles and match sticks which we have
all seen rising up along the curbs of
the towu set without regard to sightIi-
ness, location of trees, or light radiat-
ing possibilities, and the engine afo;c-
said and a directly coupled generator
with no provision for the enlargement
of the plant which will be imperative

The price which the taxpayers are to
pay for this collection of junk is ten
per cent additional to the appraised
N''A h''i eAoiy anu LIic aPfi"iSN'
is to be agreed on by representatives
of Mr.. Tweedle- dee Holmes and Messrs.
Tweedle-dum Town Council. It's all
very well to talk about decreased light
rates, but you, Mr.. Taxpayer, need only
find out from any engineer how many
60 watt lamps can be served by 10
horse power engine; and then figure
the wages of station operators for "a
hours day every day in the year, and
the cost of Tungsten street lamps, and
the cost of coal, and the cost of lubri-
cants, and the cost of line maintenance
and the cost of repairs, and the cost
of the necessary office men and su
pcrintendent who is sufficiently versed
in electricity to keep the thing going;
add all these things together, and you
will readily see why it is imperativeiy
necessary for the Mutual Light, Heat

town, AND To DO 1T BEFORE THEY

Chicago, June 2O.-Colonel Roose
welt tonight indicated that under a
certain set of circumstances he might
withdraw from the republican party
and lead a new movement
eff the people really want pro-
gressive party" he stated, 81 will be
in it,
Some of Col. Roosevelt's supporters
advised an immediate bolt, but NOR"
conservative men prevailed in the end
and it was decided that no bolt from
the convention should be undertaken.
The Roosevelt men determined upon
making final stand against the report
committee sustains the national com
mittee in seating the 7s delegates from
Washington, Teyas, California, Ala
bama and other states which the ROose
welt men alleged were "stoen' from
them by the national committee.
If this report is sustained the Roose
welt men determined to stay in their
seats but not vote or take any further
part in the convention proceedings SO
far the plan has been settled upon.
From that point on two plans are sug
gested. One is to organize Immediately
upon the floor of the convention and
nominate Roosevelt. The other plan is
to wait until after the democratic CON
vention and call another convention
and then nominate progressive ticket.
The nominations made by the democrat
ic party would affect this latter plan.
1t was stated here today that nomi-
nations might be gotten to by Satur-
day afternoon.
Roosevelt stated tonight that if a
countrywide demand was made for him
to lead a progressive party movement
he might undertake it, but that he
would first have to be convinced thai
the demand was earnest and based upon
real sentiment.
The Ohio delegates for Roosevelt:
Sthieu lHdl as lutN 'hS "a
mary pledges they could not bolt, but
the California delegates desired bolt.
Two men from each Roosevelt delega-
tion were present at the conference in
the Roosevelt headquarters.
Chicago, June 2O.-"At our caucus
tonight a resolution introduced by Hen
nv j. Allen of Kansas was unanimously
passed that the Roosevelt delegates
would not submit to having the nomina-
tion of the republican candidate for the
presidency made by convention of
which the controlling majority was
made up of delegates fraudulently seat
ed. The Roosevelt delegates will de-
cline to be bound by any action taken
by an illegal body,' stated Col. Roose-
yelt this evening following the caucus.

Others, who have now secured control
of the republican organizations in their
new party as they have made the re-
publican party as progressive as any
new party can be made. They favor
making the Roosevelt nomination regu-
lar in the convention hall.'
Governor Johnson of California is
