THIRD TERM PARTY
Progressive Candidate for Senate
Formally Declares for Roose-
welt for President.

The militant James A. Peterson.
candidate for the United States SEN
ate against Senator Knute Nelson,
whose record as a progressive is we'll
known to the people of Minnesota,
declares that he will support the can
d1dacy of Theodore Roosevelt for
president of the United States.
At the recent Roosevelt convention
in st. Paul, Mr.. Peterson's campaign
manager, William T. Coe, declared
that if the Chicago convention adopt
ed progressive platform Mr.. Peter
son would support the nominee Of
that convention.
Mr.. Coe today followed his declara-
tion Of a week ago with a formal
statement to the press. It read as
follows:
Several weeks ago, James A Pet
erson stated to the press that at the
proper time he would state his posi-
ton upon the presidency. A state
ment was made by the UNDERSIGNED
at the state meeting of progressives
in st. Paul concerning this matter
and in the main the statements of
the press are correct, but lest some-
one misunderstood, set forth his
exact position.
An Early Progressive.
'Mr. Peterson is perfectly frank
with the people Of the state of Min
nesota, and will not deceive them
upon any point. He and many others
were progressives before Roosevelt
became one. He was "a voice CRYING
in the Wilderness in this state for
the progressive cause. He has stood
Tor principles, rather than for men.
1t has seemed to him that La Toilette
represented the true progressive prin-
c1ples, better than Roosevelt, there
fore, he was for La Toilette, but a.
contingency has arisen when it is
necessary for him to take a stand at
the present time which La Toilette
ooes not point out. He does not in
tend to support Taft, because he be-
neves that Taft does not truly repre-
sent progressive principles. He is
progressive Republican, therefore he
cannot support Wilson, with his tar
If for revenue platform, which is in
no sense progressive. Wilson's elec-
ton would injure Minnesota farmers
beyond measure.
For the Nominee. J., ,.
1T now appears that the progress
sive party, under the leadership of
Roosevelt, adopted platform, which
is truly progressive, essentially in ac-
cord with the, platform which Mr..
Peterson has already enunciated.
therefore, Mr.. Peterson will support
Roosevelt. ,.' ....s. 55'.s. I u

Congress Finally Restores Law TO

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-Tha
e1sht-hour bill for dredgemen, which
the American Federation of Labor
has urged for several years, was
passed yesterday by the house of
representatives without a., dissenting
vote.
This bill is expected to overcome
the ruling Of the supreme court when
1t decided that such persons as
dredgemen did not come within the
scope Of the eight-hour act of 1892.
During the progress of the bill
through the house, Miss Agnes II.
Wilson, secretary to the house COM
mittee on labor, assisted her father
William B. Wilson, chairman of the
committee, and while the bill was
under consid Grafton she sat next to
the representative who frequently ad-
v1sed with her as the debate pro-
gressed.
Miss Wilson, like her father, IS
an active trade unionist and is a
