hFOLLETTE AND BRYAN
IS LATEST COMBINATION
Insurgent Republicans of Wisconsin VIII Not Stand for
Roosevelt at Head of New Party, But Will Go In
For Progressive Movement

(By Special Leased Wire to New MexIcan)
Madison, Wis, June 24.-Progres-
sive Republicans here will refuse to
talk of a third party until after the
Democratic convention. Those high
in Republican councils said today that
if Bryan is nominated on a Progress
sive platform, the third party move
ment will be dead.
All agree, however, that if the
Bryan progressive program should be
defeated, Wisconsin's progressives
would favor the formation of a new
party-without Roosevelt at its head
which would embody the followers of
LaFollette and Bryan. Some even go
so far as to predict that these two
might become leaders of the ticket.
An interesting dilemma has developed
from the fact that the Republicans of
Wisconsin have chosen Progressive
Republican presidential electors, who,
unless they resign, must appear on
the platform ticket as Taft electors
and according to an unWritten law,
they will be morally bound to vote
for the President.
Some of the electors will resign, it
is expected, but leaders are advising
no action until the outcome at Balti-
more is known.

tragedy and the official list of identi-

of thirty.
The disaster occurred on the west

Families Separated.
In the terror and confusion of the
accident, families became separated
and there is faint hope that some of
those listed as missing may be found
today. There remains little doubt,
however, that the list of dead will be
at least twenty.
The section of the dock which gave
way was about 80 feet in length and %
feet in width. The medical examiner
who examined the wreckage at dawn,
found that many of the broken planks
were rotten and that directly beneath
the collapsed portion of the structure
there were no supporting piles.
