Washington, Feb. 1S.-Gifford
Pinchot, in a signed statement made
public, tonight. announces that he has
withdrawn his support, from Senator
La Follettes Presidential candidacy
and that he will hereafter advocate the
nomination Of Theodore Roosevelt.
Mr.. Pinchot declares that the events
of the last month have made 1t appar-
ent that Senator La FoIlette's candi-
dacy will neither hold the Progressive
Republicans together as a fighting
force. nor prevent the nomination of "a
reactionary Republican"

him.
The statement follows:
"The struggle. which until recently
has centered around Senator La Fol-
lette's candidacy was undertaken for
two clear and specific purposes: First.
to hold the Progressiyes together as
an effective lighting force; and, second.
to prevent the nomination of a re-
actiCaary Republican for the Presi-
dency. Within the last month. cireum-
stances have made it impossible to ac-
complish, by means of the candidacy
of Senator La Toilette, either of these
two purposes: and the imperative need
for another leader has been made
plain.
"One of these circumstances is the

for the high quality of his past service

DELAY PROBABLE
In Selecting Massachu-
sets Delegations
To National Conventions, Owing
To Peculiar Conditions.
Method Of Selection and New Con.
gressional Lines the Cause.

Boston, Feb 1S.-Agitation in the
Legislature over the method Of select
ing delegates TO national political con-
Ventions, as well as a controversy as
to the running of Congressional lines
under the new apportionment, may de-
lay the selection of the Massachusetts
delegations to Chicago and Baltimore
until well into the spring.
The Bay state gained two congress
men by the last census, so that the
Republican and Democratic convention
delegations will number SO EACH four
more than in 1908. But whether these
SO shall be made up Of two from each
Of g districts and four at large or two
from each of four districts, and eight
at large, depends upon the attitude of
the Legislature, which is strongly Re
publican, and of Gov. Foss, a Demo-
erat, toward the redistricting bill.
A number of the Democratic mem
bers have announced their opposition
to the plan for Is districts which has
been practically agreed upon by the
Republican members of the committee
and they have also declased their in
tention of urging Gov. Foss to veto
the measure. The bill is still in the
hands of a SUBJ committee of the re-
districting committee, but a report is
expected within a few days. The bill
for direct election of delegates to the
national conventions. is a step further
along than the redistricting bill for a
measure providing for such an election
in the districts has been approved by
the committee on election laws and Will
be reported in the legislature
The objections are that the direct
election applies only to districts and
gives no chance for the voter to ex-
press his preference for a Presidential
candidate, although there is a provi-
sion in the bill which permits candi-
dates for delegates to express their
own views in eight words on the ballot.
