chot in a signed statement made public
tonight announces he has Withdrawn his
support from Senator La Follette's presi-
Dental candidacy and that he will here
after advocate the nomination Of Theodore
Roosevelt. Mr.. Pinchot says that the
events Of the last month have made II
apparent that Senator Ia Foliettes

The statement follows:
The struggle which until recently has
eentered around Senator La Follettes

and specific purposes; first, to hold the
progressives together as an effective
fighting force; and second, TO prevent the
OF reactionary republican

Senator La Toilette, either OF these two
purposes and the imperative need for
another leader has been made.

The reasons for the action am taking
are set forth at length In letter TO Sena-
