UNABLE TO LEAD

Will Fight for Nomination of

Is Real Progressive, and
Whose Duty 1t Is
to Accept.

Washington February IS-Glnord
Pinchot. in signed statement. made
public tonight, announces that he has
withdrawn his support from scnntor
La Fo!lc,to's presidential candidacy and
that hereafter he will advocate the
nomination of Theodore Roosevelt.
Mr. pinchot declares that the events
of the last month havc made ii appar-
ent that Senator La Follcttc's candi-
decy will neither hold the progressive
Republicans together IS lighting
force nor prevent the nomination OF a
'reactionary Republican,
The course which tho Senator has
elected to pursue says Mr. pinchot.
will not keep the progressives tog .,h-
or. and in that course l canno; follow
him.
The statement follows:
The struggle which until recently
has circlcd around Senator La Fol-
lette's candidacy was undertaken for
two clear and specific purposes-tlrst.
to hold the proGressives together as an
effective hShtin force. and, second. TO
prevent the nomination OF a reactionary
Republican for the presidency. With
in the last month circumstances have
made 1t impossible 10 accomplish. 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.
For Iriuciplc, Not for Man.
ono of these circumstances is the ill
health of Senator La Toilette, which
all his friends greatly deplore
retain undimnished my admiration for
the high quality of his past services to
the progressive cause, but the course
which the Senator has elected to pursue
will not keep the progrcssivcs together,
and in that course | canot follow him.
From the beginning I have fought for
cause and principle, and not for a
man.
THE reasons for the action 1 am
/ taking arc set forth at length in let
ter to Senator La Toilette, in which 1
have notified him that since In my
Judgment his candidacy will no longer
advance the progressive cause. shall
hereafter advocate the nomination OF
Colonel Roosevelt. whose duty I believe
II Is 10 taxa UP the leadership of the
progressive movement.
Until this notification to Senator La
Toilette was determined I have. OF
course, taken no part in advocating
the nomination OF Colonel Roosevelt
The country knows that Colonial
Roosevelt, is genuine progressive.
The question was settled once for ell
I by his active championship OF huma II
rights during tho seven years OF con-
flict which has made the progressive
movement n power in the nation"
