Il AsBURY PARK, July 24.-Today's
&trains took away the last of the Pro-
gressives who attended the State
Hconvention here, and as they left
they reiterated orally the position
decided upon in the deliberations Of
the assemblage. They had not re-
eanted over night their renun-
<iation of fhe Republican organiza-
Ion, nor had they tempered their
enunciation of the proceedings OF
j he Republican national convention
- Chicago. In short, they stand by
he articles of faith which they
ADOPTED in the closing hour of their
meeting. and which were set forth
by resolution, as follows:
S After the Chicago convention Of
august has placed Colonel Roose-
|elt in the field as our candidate for
resident and Progressive as cam
date for vice-President upon a
|atform of principles, it will then
q necessary for the Progressives Of
Ibis. state to take appropriate politi-
al action to secure the success. of
hose candidates and the triumph of
hese principles
VIII Make No Compromise.
ITO that end we declare that it is
ESSENTIAL that an entire ticket
Z 1E]edged to. Theodore Roosevelt for
PRESIDENT and the said candidate for
"A President shall appear upon the
6fficial ballot on election day, and it
il the sense Of this convention that
there should be on the said ballot
on election day complete ticket for
all congressional, State and i'm
/. .portant local offices under the party
name adopted at Chicago of Pro-
gressive candidates pledged to the
seupport of Theodore Roosevelt for
President and the principles adopted
1t said convention.
1--WE further declare that we will
enter into no compromise or ar
rangement of any kind with the rep
Eresentatives OF the Republican ma
chrne as to the nomination or cleo
<tion of any candidate and that We
will support no candidate for public
Office on election day who is not an
avowed supporter of the candidacy
of Colonel Roosevelt for the presl-
dency of the United States
FowIer's Protest in Vain.
Notwithstanding the feeling that
their action meant the death of the
Republican party in New Jersey,
there was nothing except joy in the
hearts of the delegates as they out
lined their program for fight along
new and progressive lines.
The single note of dissent to the
program laid down came from former
bCongressman Charles N. Fowler, who
<cautioned the convention to think
Etwice before breaking away from the
cld party; but he uttered no protes,
<nntil after the. resolutions had been
passed.
The crowd sat up and yelled a few
minutes later when Edmund B. Os-
borne, of Montclair. made a strong
appeal to the Progressives to leave
sthe Republican party.
81 Former Governor Edward C. Stokes
was not at the meeting. He attended
the session of the Roosevelt State
SCommittee, Monday night. however,
zAnd advocated the plan of taking part
*in the September primaries in an
effort to capture the organization.
Colby Lookes to Future.
3 In addressing the convention for
Jher State Senator Everett Colby said
in part:
I'VE have come together this aft
ernoon to renew our allegiance TO
Fl Theodore Roosevelt and give our rea-
sons for leaving the party of our
fathers. 1t is serious business m
which we are engaged. 1T is serious
business to break away from party
ties and party traditions.
THE gravamen of our Indictment
against the machines of both par
ties consists in the charge that they
have become entities in themselves,
separate and distinct from the prin-
