ROOSEVELT PLAN UNCHANGED.
Will Continue to Organize Progressive
Party-caiI to es Issued Soon.
Oyster Bay. July 81 shall OF
course continue to stand for the pro-
gressive nomination. said Colonel
Roosevelt last night. after he heard Of
the nomination of Woodrow Wilson.
The former president stated his be-
lief that events in the democratic. as
we'll az In the republican convention.
demonstrated the need of new party.
The national convention OF the new
party will be held in Chicago. 1t was
decided yesterday, probably during the
first week Of August.
This is Colonel Roosevelt's state
ment:
Before left Chicago. and again at
Oyster Bay when Controller Prender-
CAST Of New York came out to see me.
I stated that the third party movement
and my candidacy would not be In any
way affected by tho outcome at Baltt-
more. I never 60 into fight on q con-
tingent basis. shall, of course. con-
tinue to stand for the progressive NOM
ination. have Just been going over
with Senator Dixon the call which is
about to be issued by the provisional
committee for the progressive national
convention.
Elements lrrseoneilabls.
ITO my mind. what has gone on In
Baltimore for the past ten days has
shown the utterly irreconcilable nature
of the elements within the democratic
party, elements 80 irreconcilable as to
make it hopeless to expect from them
any permanent reform movement along
constructive lines.
1T has also shown that any nomi-
nation obtained at Baltimore could at
ter all be obtained only by the support
of men like Mr.. Tasgart in Indiana and
Mr.. Sullivan in Illinois, and the sue
cess Of the candidate at the polls.
without regard to his personality,
would be conditioned not only upon the
hearty support Of Mr.. Taggart and Mr..
Sullivan and their colleagues and rep
resentatives in every other state from
New York to Colorado, but would also
be conditioned upon these men sue
ceeding in carrying their several state
tickets and in perpetuating themselves
In control of the democratic party.
Sese Mood Of New Party.
"Under these conditions, feel that
the events at Baltimore, like the event.
at Chicago, prove the absolute need OF
q new nationwide, nonsectional party
which shall in good faith stand for the
interests Of the people as whole and
shall in far reaching fashion alike In
the nation and the several states. take
the lead in the movement for social.
political and industrial justice. move
ment which must include q broad, con-
structive governmental policy which
shall look to both the present day
economic needs of our people as a
whole and the necessity for the fullest
possible commercial development both
at home and abroad"
While the democratic convention
was nominating Governor Wilson.
Colonel Roosevelt and his lieutenants
were hard at work making plans for
the new party. The colonel spent the
day in New York in conference with
Senator Dixon Of Montana. his cam
paign manager before the Chicago
convention. Frank A. Munsey Of New
York, Charles H. Thompson Of Ver-
mont, and Bainbridge Colby Of New
York. He said the call for the national
convention was drafted and was vir-
tually ready.
Issue Call Tomorrow.
1t was submitted by telegraph to
members of the temporary committee
on organization and IL ratified will be
given out in New York. The call prob
ably will be issued on Thursday, the
Fourth of July, Senator Dixon saying
he thought it a suitable day. A meet
ing Of such members Of the committee
on organization as are able to visit
New York was held to make public the
call
Colonel Roosevelt was asked wheth-
er he would attend the convention
i don't know" he replied. II had
not thought Of 1t. Perhaps" he added,
smiling, Il shall be elected as a dele
gate.''
Colonel Roosevelt would not say q
word regarding the democratic conven-
ton in addition to the reference in his
statement
He was asked whether the new party
would place a ticket in the field in
Ohio in opposition to the one selected
there, and said that his supporters in
Ohio would settle that question.
Clark Sore; Will Not Bolt.
Washington, July 3.-On his return
to Washington from Baltimore last
night Speaker Clark issued the fol-
lowing statement:
mo set Of men ever made better
or braver fight for any man in this
world than my friends all over the
country made for me. They have my
heartfelt thanks. We never had money
enough even to pay for an adequate
supply Of postage stamps and litera-
ture. I was tied down here by my
duties Of the speakership. / could,
therefore. aid my friends very little.
II will support Governor Wilson
with whatever power I possess and
hope he will bs elected.
Il lost the nomination solely thru the
vile and the malicious slanders OF Col.
william Jennings Bryan Of Nebraska.
True, these SANDERS were by innusndo
