were, first that no Roosevelt progress sive would be a candidate or accept a nomination for vice-president on the Taft ticket and, second, that no Roosevelt progressive will vote or take part in the convention. Because of this latter action, every Roosevelt progressive was expected to make it clear that he did so because of his belief that the convention, as organ ized, did not represent the real ma jority of the delegates as chosen by the people.
 Addressing a secret meeting of Roosevelt delegates, last night, Roose- welt made this significant utterance
 Where you go, l go. If you go out I go out with you. am always willing to take part with my friends .''

 On the "bolt'' it was predicted Roosevelt would have following approximating his vote in the Califor- mia case.
 Up to the last Roosevelt found it hard to persuade his more ardent fol- lowers that his name must not go be- fore the coliseum convention.
 This is fight for something mora than nomination" Colonel Roose- welt said to Alexander Reveil, one of the original Roosevelt boomers who still had hopes on the coliseum con- vention. II have charged the coils cum convention is controlled by a packed roll. have said that no man with a vestige of honor could accept a nomination at the hands of a con vention so controlled. I shall stand absolutely on that statement and would refuse a nomination in which the members on the fraudulent roll had any participation"
 The Roosevelt following had, to- day, recovered from the uneasiness in- to which they were thrown. yester- day. by reports that the Taft people were seriously considering the drop ping of Taft and the nomination of Hadley or some progressive satisfac- tory to the Taft forces
 That danger has passed" said Jas R. Garfield, to-day, -"tie President heard what was doing and cracked the whip over the heads of his cam paign masters and they got back into the road. The vote will be delivered solidly for Taft, to-day

FEAR BRYAN MAY BOLT
 IF DEMOCRATS NOMINATE z.
 CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE

Baltimore, June 22.-Fear that Will liam Jennings Bryan will bolt the Democratic national convention if the progressive cause he represents is de- feated by the conservatives, pervaded the conservative camp, to-day. There and declared the fight between Bryan and the, conservatives, brought on by the selection of Judge Parker for temporary chairman of the convention had not reached a point that would justify the Nebraskan in pulling out. ports and were prepared to go almost any length to prevent an open rup- ture.
 Until Bryan himself arrives in Baltimore. Sunday, and takes person. al charge of the progressive forces, the latter will continue to be more or less disorganiZed. The conservatives have been well explained and have had a distinct advantage because of that fact.
 There appeared, to-day, to be dis tinct disappointment among Bryan's followers over Bryan's apparent fail- ure to force the so-called progressive candidate for the presidential nomina- tion to an out and out stand with him against the selection of Parker as temporary chairman. The replies of Champ Clark and Governor Foss are considered evasive and indefinite, while Judge Marshall of Indiana. told Bryan that he thought Parker should be permitted to serve. Governor Wilson's managers said Wilson would reply to Bryan, to-day, that he would take the position that the temporary chairmanship was not a matter that should cause serious differences and that he proposed to keep out of the squabble.
 Most of the members of the nation al committee are here and Monday it is expected the committee will ratify the action of the subcommittee in naming Parker. This will force Bry- an to carry the fight to the floor of

Rooseye|t's Headquarters Now Display Em-
 b|em Of "Naliona| Progressive Party''

Chicago, June 22.-The last day presumably, of the coliseum conven- tion, opened with the following situa- ton in the Roosevelt camp.
 At the final, before dawn confer ence, Colonel Roosevelt gave orders to his friends that his name must not be presented to this convention. A program was arranged which would, in the opinion of the Coloneps sup porters, make clear to the country the following main facts: 'S
 That Roosevelt majority created by popular primaries had been turned into a Taft majority by fraud.
 2@That no man recognizing this fraud could afford to accept a nom- ination at the hands of a convention thus controlled.
 3-That Colonel Roosevelt, before any vote on candidates is taken and immediately at the close of the votes confirming the roll as prepared by the national committee and preferred by the credentials committee serve notice on the convention that he will not accept a nomination in which the so-called tainted roll has any part.
 4"lAdI OOlOu0l ItOOSoNoh 4S ol11l % candidate before the people for the presidency and will continue his campaign.
 This outline of the situation was given to the United Press by the Co., oneps chief strategist at the close of the nights secret meeting of the chief lieutenants of the Roosevelt forces.
 The details of the program" he said, must be left for development. It would not be wise to make them public in advance"
 Addressing a crowd in front of the Congress Hotel, Roosevelt, at II o'clock last night, said:
 it is bigger ring"
 This utterance was understood to refer to his independent candidacy. The one thing in the minds of the Roosevelt following is the new party. For two days, Roosevelt has in real ity not been before the coliseum con- vention as a candidate. He has been the announced candidate of the pro- gressive voters to be organized in the future into national progressive party. e.44 4s
 This morning, big sign was hung in the Roosevelt headquarters in the Congress Hotel announcing Roosevelt as the candidate of the National Progressive Party"

the convention on Tuesday.
 Bryan has been counting on the support of both the Clark and Wilson followers. It appears to be problem atical now just how many Wilson and Clark delegates will follow him.
 The candidates themselves want to keep out lest they make enemies who will cost them votes when the ballot ing for president begins.s
 In the camp. of Governor Harmon, to-day, the claim was being made that Charles Murphy, leader of Tammany, 90 votes to Harmon after the first or second ballot. Murphy himself would not confirm this. He said a caucus of the New York delegation would be held before anything defin- ite was decided upon. It is becom- ing more and more apparent, however, that Harmon is first choice with the conservatives. whose real leader is Murphy and that Harmon will like, ly be the beneficiary of the entire conservative strength of the conven- tion as long as there appears to be a chance to nominate him.
 If the conservatives can't nominate Harmon or Underwood, who is con- sidered their second choice Champ Clark may get their votes Clark has been endorsed as progressive by Bryan, but at the samd time the con- servat1ves are not so pronounced in their opposition to him as they are toward Governor Wilson. Talk that Bryan himself may become a candi- date for the presidential nomination continues to grow. It is generally conceded that if Bryan is able to prevent the election of Parker as temporary chairman and to do it without the active cooperation of any of the progressive candidates for the presidency, that he will be in a DOW erful position to get the nomination for himself, it being argued that the rank and file of delegates who might follow him in one fight would likely follow him in the other.

ZONE THIRD OF
 A CENTURY E. w. Woo|w0rth Co. Hold a Great Sale in Their
 617 Stores

In celebration of thirty-three and one-third years of successful business enterprise, the 617 stores of F. W. principal cities of the United States and Canada, are to hold a record breaking sale during week of June A to 29 inclusive. This is to be known as 'One-Third of a Century Sale"; and during this week this firm pur- poses to offer to their friends and cus- toners an array of special values in every department that will complete ly eclipse all previous efforts.
 The business of this company was esta blished by MT. F. w. Woolworth in Utica. N. Y, just one-third of a hundred dollars worth of merchan- disc, starting an exclusive five cent store in the old Arcade building, the first store of it's kind. ever opened. His next store was opened at Lancaster, Penn. and a line of ten cent goods popular five and ten cent business was first established. Later, the we'll known firms of S. H. Knox & Co.,, F. M. Kirby & Co.,, c. S. WoOlworth & Co, F. P. Charlton & Co.,, and w. H. Moore & Son were established in the same business.
 These firms always maintained a friendly relation to each other, their proprietors being intimate personal friends. It was but natural that even- tually the interests of these firms should be merged together, as was done last March, the new firm taking the name of F. w woolworth Co.
 During all these years, this firm has faithfully followed the original plan of adhering strictly to the popu- lar prices of five and ten cents. Dur ing recent years. while the prices of nearly all commodities have been advancing, the variety and Woolworth stores has been constantly increasing. This has been made pos sible by the enormous purchasing 6 power of this firm. Every new store opened meant increased purchasing power, and this resulted in better values for the public.
 Manufacturers who find it neces- sary to quickly turn their orerpr oduc- ton of stock into ready cash, find in this firm with it's unlimited purchas- ing power, an opportunity to dispose of extraordinary quantities of mer- chandise.. This explains some of the values that will be offered during this sale.
 You will do we'll to carefully watch the windows each day to see some Of the special values offered during the week of the sale, and in addition to items advertised in the windows, there will be placed on the; counters a large variety of other bargains of which no previous announcement will be made.
 No such gigantic sale has ever be- fore been attempted by any mercan- tile organization, and it is the purpose of this firm to make this sale fitting ly celebrate the suspicious event which it commemmorates.
 They wish to invite their patrons and the public generally to visit their store during the week of this unusual sale that they may secure some of the exceptional bargains that will be offered
