OHIO BULL MOOSERS
IN CONVENTION
Large Attendance OF Progressives At
the Buckeye Convcn-
ton.

Columbus, Ohio. Sept, 4.--The Pro-
gresslve party state convention went
into session here this afternoon for
the purpose of nominating full state
ticket and drawing up a platform of
principles. Twelve hundred and two
delegates, or $50 more than attended
the regular Republican convention of
this year. were on hand to take part
In the deliberations. The large dele.
cation was the result of d decision by
the Bull Moosers to apportion the rep
resentation In the convention on the
basis of the vote cast for Roosevelt in
1904. This gave them the largest Ohio
convention of any party. with the ex-
eeption of the Republican gathering
In 1905. which also was based on the
vote for Roosevelt.
With the tap of Temporary Chair
man James r. Garfield's gavel, the
convention came to order. There was
considerable speculation among the
delegates as to whether any OF the self
professed Roosevelt candidates on the
Republican ticket would be endorsed
While a few seemed to favor the en-
dorsement OF those Republicans who
would declare themselves against Taft
and in favor of Roosevelt, the majority
were for the nomination of a straight
Progressive ticket with candidates OF
no other party affiliatlon. 1t was ar
gued that the new party had a distinct
purpose and set of principles and that
if any candidate on the Republican
ticket desired endorsement, he should
first resign his candidacy and come
to the Bull Moosers free Of obligation.
Arthur L. Garfield, the Elyrla man
ufacturer, who received the consist
elt support OF the Roosevelt faction
in the Republican convention, was sfa-
ted for the nomination for governor,
1t was not expected that there woud
be any serious opposition to his candi-
dacy
Delegates stated today that the plat
form would be largely modelled after
the one adopted by the Progressive
convention in Chicago with the addi-
ton of z few planks dealing with
State ISSUES.

CARRIES CAMPAIGN
NTONORTH DAKOTA
colonePs Visit Arouses Interest Be
cause of His Opposition TO La
Toilette.

Especial to The World.)

Fargo, N. d., Sept 5.---ColoneI Roose-
welt is to carry his campaign into
North Dakota tomorrow His program
calls for set speeches in this city and
Jamestown, with a number of short
addresses at train-stops The Roose-
welt visit has aroused much interest
among the politicians Of all parties
here, and there is a great amount Of
speculation on the results 1t may have
In the coming election. The political
situation in North Dakota at the pres
ent time is probably different from
that presented in any other State In
the Republican primaries last spring
Roosevelt was badly beaten by La Fol
lette. The delegates TO the national
convention at Chicago voted for La
Toilette from the start to finish. 1t is
said that many Of the Progressive
leaders here are still inclined to look
upon Roosevelt as having been respon-
sible for the elimination of the Wis
consin Senator from the presidential
race. Lately the Democrats have UNI
dertaken an organized campaign to
turn the anti-Taft votes from Roose-
welt to Wilson Whether the Roose-
welt visit will be able to stem the tide
of this movement remains to be seen.

TEDDY.S PICTURE TO
ADORN THIRD TICKET
Party Emblem to Be Used Not One
to Be Expected-Roosevelt and
johnson the Candidates.

l.. Dew Gerhardt, clerk of the Cir
cult Court. has received from Chair
man w. NJ o. Dawson of the State
committee of the Bull Moose party the
certificate to the effect that Theodore
Roosevelt and Hiram W. Johnson are
the candidates of the third party to
20 on the ticket in West Virginia.
Accompanying the certificate was
cut OF the chief Bull Moose which is
to be used in the printing of the third
ticket on the ballot as Teddy's pic
ture has been adopted as the party en-
blem, but not so, as nothing short of
blem in the State Il had been eX-
pected by many that a Bull Moose
head would be used as the party EN-
blem in the State. II had been OK
Teddy's picture would be appropriate,
and nothing else would be entirely
satisfactory to the leader of that party.
Now that the emblem has been def
initely decided on by Chairman Daw-
son and other members of the commit
tee, they can turn their attention to
matters OF less importance in connec-
ton with the third party campaign in
the State
1t is understood that a number of
Republicans win make strong effort
to prevent a third ticket in this coun-
ty as they believe it would prove det-
rimental to the chances of the regular
ticket.
