Pilgrims at Sycamore Hill.

Headed by Charles II. Thompson, the
Green Mountain banker, the Bostonians
made a pilgrimage TO Sycamore Hill to-
DAY to bring tidngs OF encouragement to
Colonel Roosevelt. TO get some encourage.
ment themselves, or both. AS for New
England, they said, the Roosevelt leaders
there are going TO run a straight electoral
ticket all their own. Perhaps in some
districts where regular Republican can
didate is known to be extra progressive"
they will slap his name on II they feel
certain that the candidate will recipro-
cate the support. Everybody has decided,
they told Colonel Roosevelt, that they
would ndorse no state candidates who
would not openly work fog the Roosevelt
electoral ticket.
From what Mr. Thompson and his
travelling companions Of the Bay State
said II is perfectly proper 10 deduce that
the reason why the Roosevelt people are
50 extraordinarily independent abou.
running a straight electoral ticket Of their
own Is the rather obvious one that no.
where do the Roosevelt followers control
the regular Republican political organi-
cations.
In fact, Mr.. Thompson, who, by the
way. is the chairman Of the New Eng
land Progressive Advisory COMMITTEES" by
grace OF Senator Dixon. talked with the
oyster Bay newspaper men In a manner
that Is said TO tend for the good OF the
soul He said without conjunction that
Governor Wilson was very popular In
Vermont and possibly so In Connecticut,
but not I'm Massachusetts
How many states are you counting
for Roosevelt" some one asked.
Were not counting on any. but we
think there's a chance in some" he re-
piled. To be more specific. Mr.. Thomp-
son figured il that Roosevelt might pos
slbly carry any state OF the New Eng
land group. except Rhose Island. He was
pretty willing TO concede that to President
Taft.
However, Mr.. Thompson or Colonel
Thomas T.. Dougherty, John II. Maginis
or Kenneth Cameron, OF Boston, who
came along with him to-day. don't have
to whistle all the time 10 keep their cour-
age up. Take Kenneth Cameron. for in

Colonel Roosevelt was engaged in a

down through the rye field 10 the courts
this afternoon.
Colonel, the papers are full Of reports
that the third party movement is already

mel Roosevelt waved his racquet in de-
rision, and waxed into one of his most
genial smiles.
You who were with me In Orchestra
Hall, Chicago, last month, ought to be
the best judge Of the truth Of that" he
replied. And that was all he would say

MEN Do HIS BIDDING
They Quit Republican Party
and Decide to Name State

DIXON PREVENTS A FIGHT

Wants, and Gives His APP
prevail to Platform Be-
fore It Is Submitted.

Jackson Mich, July 20.--MlcN gan Pro-
gressives divorced themselves absolutely
from the Republican party in their state
convention here to-day.
BY almost a unanimous vote the dele
gates went on record as favoring the plac-
ing OF an entire ticket, both state and
national, in the field few instructed
delegates voted against the move q or
der to record the sentiment Of thel- home
counties, but explained TO the convention
that they personally were FOR separation
from the Old party.
Delegates TO the national Progressive
party convention in Chicago. Presidential
electors. members OF the State Central
Committee, were elected, and Henry NJ.
Wallace. Of Detroit. was chosen as MEM
Der OF the national committee.
The State Central Committee was asked
to recommend 20 the convention can
ddate for Governor. It's recommcnda-
ton. however. does not necessarily mean
nomination Jy the convention. for by The
provisions OF the Michigan primary law
any man can file petition FOR any nomi-
nation on the Progressive ticket r. he
has sufficient number of names.
The committee recommended state
Senator l.. whitney Watkins for Gov
ernor and Theodore VI. Joslin for United
States Senator.
Friends OF Governor Osborn protested
vigorously, but futilely, against the In
dorsemcnt by the convention OF caudi-
date for Governor. They insisted the
people should not be offered suggestions
regarding candidates When the couven-
ton Endorsed Senator Watkins circulo-
ton OF Osborn petitions was begun at
once.
Nathan T. Hull was recommended by
the convention for Reprasentative-at-
Large, but he declined to make the race.
Only six days remain In which the
petitions may be filed with the Secretary
Of State. Many petitions were put In CHI
culation to-day.

McDermott Promises Illinois.

Jim McDermott, who represents the
stock yards district Of Chicago, told the
Governor not to worry about Illinois.
Jim" who held a cigar In his mouth at
an angle Of 40 degrees, said that Gov
ernor Wilson was going to carry Illinois.
There amt any doubt of IT," he said.
We're all going 10 be on the level with
him in Chicago, and we're going to elect
him, too"
w. B. Wilson. the coal miner who rep
rsssDts the 18th Pennsylvania District,
said all the talk about Colonel Roosevelt
being a strong favorite with the miners
was untrue.
I, why, a majority OF the miners are
against Roosevelt he said, because he is
70 blame for the open shop in the mines.
When Roosevelt butted into the strike Of
1902 We had everything we asked for won,
except the closed shop and he is re-
spensible for the clause IN our agreement
which provided for the open shop.
Mr. Wilson said the Governor would
hold the normal Democratic vote in Penn
sylvania and would get considerable sup
port among the incipient Republicans in
that state. Mr. Wilson thought his name
sake would get the electoral vote Of his
state, because the Van Valkenburg-
Moore-Flinn crowd would not allow the
Penrose crowd to win, neither would the
Penrose crowd allow the Roosevelt com
bination to be successful, If they could
prevent II.
Most Of the Congressman returned from
their sightseeing trip in automobiles about
o'clock with glowing tales Of the beau
ties of the Jersey coast and the edibility
of the soft clam and the lobster. The
Democratic statesmen from the interior
were particularly pleased, especially
Representative Robinson, Of Arkansas,
who liked the coast 50 well that he en-
gagged hotel accommodations at Asbury
Park for the next three days.

After the Democratic statesmen had
gone away. at 5:45 o'clock. Governor VIII
son packed his grip and went to his re"
treat for over Sunday. Before going he
had the following to say Of his VISITORS
The day was one Of the most delight
full have ever experienced. 1t was very
gratifying TO have so large representa-
ton Of Democratic members of Congress

Follow Dison's instructions.

The presence Of Senator Joseph NJ.
Dixon in the convention probably had as
much TO do with carrying the FUN tick
et' plan as anything. The factions for 4
stub" ticket or the nomination OF Presi
dental electors only, and the full ticket
crowd were lined up for a bitter fight
when he arrived. Mr. Dixon told them
Colonel Roosevelt wanted fun state
ticket and after that it was all over but
the shouting. The shouting, however re-
quired much time, for the convention was
as enthusiastic as the thousand or more
delegates and brass band could maze IT,
Frank w. Knox. who had been heading
the Stub" ticket faction and favoring
an Endorsement Of Governor osborn as
a Republican candidate, was the first
man 10 rise in the convention and give
up the fight.
Senator Dixon, addressing the convcn-
ton, declared at is a better chance now
that Roosevelt will be elected than IL was
last March that he would be nominated. a"

the words of the Speaker were admirable
but no intimated, without much feeling
that he intended TO consult with their
