COLONEL SAYS HE COULD
HAVE WON NOMINATION

which Colonel Roosevelt has heretofore
had within the Republican party. Some
Of them said frankly that the movement
was inaugurated on the assumption that,
since Colonel Roosevelt had been the
choice OF the party in number OF Re-
publican states, 1t would be possible to
bring these states in line for the new
marty. No plan has yet been decided
upon by which II would be possible to
effect such A transfer of. workable or
ganizations from the Republican party
IN the new enterprise. 1t Is recognized
that there exists the danger OF so many
dofections that in some cases the ma
chInery may De either badly damaged In
the process or left in the hands OF the
regular" Republicans.
Colonel Roosevelt expressed confidence
that a way would be found. He said he
expected that some of the Republican
officeholders and workers would choose
TO remain with the party. He believed
however. that he would have ultimately
the support of the substantial part OF the
organizations which were with him In
the campaign of the last four months.
Il is his opinion that the pressure OF
public sentiment will be sufficient In
some states to bring this about, and
that. while there may be numerous de-
fections. il will be possible to ill the
gaps with volunteers.
In cases in which the Republican state
organizations as whole arc against
him. IT is his plan to set up new ma
chinery, with complete state and ma
tional tickets. 1t is his opinion that
wherever public sentiment is in his
favor. II will be merely a question Of de-
tail how his supporters are to work out
a Man Of expressing themselves at the
polls.
With the announcement in Chicago b.
Governor Hiram Johnson Of California
Of the committee on organization the
movement assumed more definite shape
and il was said that in several states the
leaders had begun their work Governor
johnson said the national convention
would be held late in July or early in
August. The place has not been Sc
lected.
A report that the convention might de-
eide to give up the fight this year should
the Democratic National Convention
nominate a candidate who would be rec
ognized as progressive" was denied
by Colonel Roosevelt, when he said that
he would carry the fight through to the
end.
The former President is due in New
York at 9:25 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. Thence he will go to oyster Bay,
where he expects to remain several
weeks.

LINING UP FOR TAFT
New Jersey La Toilette Men Expected
to Support President.

Former Sheriff Frank H. Sommer OF
Essex County. one Of Senator La Follette's
chief supporters in New Jersey. declined
Yesterday to comment on the Republican
situation or say whether or not he would
support Taft and Sherman. Mr.. Sommer
said that the La Toilette supporters would
hold a conference in the next week or two,
after which he would make a statement.
One OF Mr.. Sommer's close friends said,
however, that there was little doubt that
he would be found on the Taft band
wagon. Mr.. Sommer, ii was said, like a
number of other New Jersey sympathizers
of La Toilette. is bitterly opposed TO
Colonel Roosevelt and, in addition. being
loyai Republicans, will support the nomi-
nees Of the Chicago convention.

BAY STATE MEN AT ODDS
Delegates Too Divided to Fill
Their Committee Places.

Baltimore June A.-All efforts to ascer-
tain the Presidential choice of individual
members of the Massachusetts, delegation
proved futile to-day. AS a result only two
members OF the delegation were appointed
to the convention committees. These were
Frank Donohue, to credentials, and David
I. Welch, to platform and resolutions.
The thirty-six delegates are badly divided
in their allegiance TO the various candi-
dates for the Presidential nomination. 1t
is expected that a majority of the dele
gates will vote for Governor Foss on the
first ballot
John W. Coughlln, the present national
committeeman, is virtually treasured of re-
election.
The delegation will caucus again to-mor-
row to fill the remaining committee va

Train-Mitchell Favored for
Running Mate.

The followers OF Colonel Roosevelt, under
the leadership Of Controller Prendergaat
and Timothy l. Woodruff, will begin ac-
tive planning for the Progressive campaign
IN this state after they have conferred with
the colonel this morning. Colonel Roose-
,.e,t will arrive in town at 10 o'clock. end
immediately so TO the offices Of the out

hts New York followers.
All the Roosevelt men who arrived in
town Yesterday were talking ight-hght TO
tho finish. They say that the national
convention Of the third party will be held.
probsbly in Chicago. during the first week
IN August. This however. will not be pos
,tiveIv determined upon for few days.
From a trustworthy source II was learned
that Mr.. Roosevelts running mate would
undoubtedly be John Mitchell, the labor
leader.
Colonel Roosevelt has for a long time
regarded John Mitchell as a strong Vice
presidential candidate" said the Tribune's
informant Now that Mitchell has been
sentenced 10 Jail Mr. Roosevelt would in all
Livelihood look upon Mr.. Mitchell as one
who could be held up as a martyr to The
cause Of labor. There are many Roosevelt
men who think that with Mitchell on the
10000 labor votes to the party whose tick

corning his ideas on this subject, but he
refused.

will be the candidate for Governor on the
third party ticket, declared when he
reached his Office yesterday that It was
going to be fight all along the line"
Il am going to Join the new Progressive

be no doubt as TO where I stand. There
never has been any doubt as to where

Il cannot answer that" said Mr.. Prem
dergast. I left Chicago without having
conferred with any Of Mr.. Roosevelts sup
porters'
VIII the Progressive party nominate a
state ticket?'
They will nominate state tickets in
every state in the Union" he replied. This
is not going to be any skirmish. 1t is going
10 be a fight TO a finish. Those who are
not for US are against US, and no senti-
ment will justify the third party in sup
porting any man who is not with it in
heart and in act"
Mr.. Woodruff issued a typewriter state
ment, in which he said:
When I left Chicago early Sunday morn
ing no plans had been determined or, for
that matter considered. At the Roosevelt
meeting, which did not adjourn until mid
night Sunday, committee was named for
the purpose Of formulating plans for the
creation Of a new party. Controller Prem
oergast is the New York member OF that
committee. Its Office will be the election of

No matter what line of business
he may be engaged in. or what posi-

of today and the man who is gradu-

lows is the Man Who's Always on
the Job. Not necessarily the plod-
der who works early and late or the
man who's mind is constantly on his

comes down the morning after a
good nights sleep bright-eyed and
with clear mind, TT and right to
tackle anything in sight.
He gets things done; takes on more
work and puts it through. He al
ways knows, doesn't guess or pre-
sumo. He Is not a GROWER or a
knocker. He sets the pace and when
he's around everybody gets busy.
He heads off trouble and keep things
moving. When the day is done he
lays down his work, picks up his
coat and steps out into the world
care free and happy, fellow you al

STATE PRESS ASSOCTN. PRETERMIT TED.
Yazoo City Herald.

Yazoo City Herald
For the first tine in AZ years, or
since it's organization, the Mississip-
pi Press Association will hold no
convention. Decentralization due to
floods has rendered it undesirable to
hold the gathering at Natchez, as
first intended, and other obstacles
which have since presented them
serves have caused President Ander-
son and Secretary Mcclure to call off
the gathering altogether.
To the Press of the State:
After the consideration of the mat
ter and conferences of the officers of
the ASSOCIATION, and correspondence
with the Board of Commerce Of
Natchez, it has been deemed best to
pretermit the meeting Of the Press
Association this year. This action
was taken on account of the exces-
sive demands that have been made
on the people of Natchez, who have
had to care for so many of flood suf-
ferers, the general backward condi-
ton of all business throughout the
state, due to the overflow and con-
tinued rains, which would have
thrown the meeting of the associa-
ton too late in the summer to have
been successful.
In letter to the secretary the
president of the Natchez Chamber of
Commerce says: I'VE hope that this
is only a deferred pleasure, as we
wish to extend to you, and through
you, your association a4saost cordial
Invitation to hold the 1913 conyen-
ton at Natchez.
This invitation has been accepted,
and the 1913 meeting of the assocla-
ton will be held in that city on the
third Tuesday of May.
1t is with regret that we feel i'm
PEELED to make this announcement, las
it is the first time in the AZ years of
the association that an annual meet
ing has not been held, but we feel
that under the circumstances our &C
ton will be approved by the mem
bers.
