If you do own land,
you ought to have more,

Our tracts were Sc
lected when we had the

WASHINGTON REPUBLICANS
Decide Against, Placing Third Party
Ticket In the Field.

Spokane, Wash, July 8.-Progres-
sive Republicans Of this part of Wash
ington, at a meeting here today, de-
cided against putting new party
ticket in the field for state and coun-
ty offices. The meeting recommended
Progressive Republican candidates to
file for the state primaries on the Re-
publican ticket.
The meeting, however, adopted res
olutions declaring that the progress
sives do not recognize the Chicago

publicans. "Roose evelt being the over
whelmlng choice Of the voters and
of a majority Of the delegates Of the

The resolution adopted advocates a
state convention to select delegates

tors for the progressive ticket In the

soon as Leslie Combs, former minis

Walker declined to say that Leslie
Combs will head the Roosevelt move
ment in Kentucky, but he did say
that strong man, loyal to the COL

asserts that there has been no dimi-
mutton Of Roosevelt enthusiasm in
Kentucky since the Chicago conven-
ton, and that all Of the Coloners ad-
herents will ally themselves with the
new movement.
He characterized the story that he
had been SUNNI to WASHINGTON
