PROCRESSIVES
RESIGN FROM
COMMITTEE
New Castle Men Refuse to
Line Up for AddiCkS
Leaders Policy
FAVOR FUSION WITH
REPUBLICAN TICKET

William F. White. S. Frank Ewart,
Herman Dohl Of this city. and
Thomas s. Fouracre. Of Middletown.
at noon today forwarded TO State
Chairman Robert G Houston. at
Georgetown their designations as
members Of the State Committee Of
the Progressive party. They took
this action because they are opposed
TO a straight-out Progressive ticket,
and think the cause Of the Progress
sives and Colonel Roosevelt would be
furthered in Delaware by a partial
fusion with the Republican ticket.
The New Castle committeeman re.
fuse to follow the plan of Former
Senator Alice, Dr. Layton and other
former Addfcks leaders down the
State who now control the Progress
sive cleaniza~on.
Theodore 3. Rogers, Of State Road.
did not sign the letter OF resignation,
although II is understood he takes
the same attitude as the other COM
mitteemen named. II was desired
that he attend the conference at
which the letter of resignation was
written, but Mr. Rogers could not be
found by mis- colleagues. It is thought
that he. TOO will tender his resig-
nation. The letter OF resignation Is
as follows
Mr. Robert @ Houston.
Chairman State Central Committee.
Progressive Party of Delaware
Dear Sir:-We the undersigned
New Castle County members of the
state Central Committee, desire 70
herewith present our designations to
take effect Immediately for the fol-
lowing reasons.
l. We have carefully canyassed
in a number Of places throughout
New Castle County 10 secure the SEN
timent OF the rank and file Of the
Progressive voters Respecting their
feelings towards an independent
ticket versus partial Fusion ticket.
As a result of thorough investigation.
We are convinced a large proponder-
ating sentiment favors a Fusion basis
which would have a fair chance Of
success toward advancing the Pro-
gressive movement throughout the
country, as compared with an inde-
pendent ticket which will defeat this
movement
?. AS this sentiment represents a
district which contributes approx
mately 90 per cent of the vote of the
State of Delaware. it cannot be ig-
nored, and as a fundamental prin-
siple OF the Progressive party, we
feel we have been voicing the views
OF a majority Of honest Progressive
voters in this State
3. Recognizing that the work and
policy of a majority of the present
State committee are on lines of form
ing an absolute Independent ticket in
the face of the above mentioned facts
We feel that ii is our duty to with
draw and resign from such a move
ment
T. We positively refuse to be a
part or parcel Of a convention that
by its action will unquestiouably de-
feat the true Progressive movement
in this State

tion the Mayor also named his sue

In his letter to the Mayor, Mr.
Taylor expressed his regret at being
compelled 20 resign. but owing to the
press of other business affairs he felt
he was prevented from giving the
duties of a member of the board prop

Taylor Is president of the American
Vulcanized Fibre Company. which
position he assumed recently. and he
Ia also secretary and treasurer Of the
Remington Machine Company.
