JUDGE THOMP SON

NO ROOM FOR THIRD PARTY
Roosevelt Delegate Says Progressive
Results Can Best Be Secured
In Old Party.

Barton, July 31.-Judge Frank d.
Thompson of this village, one of Yer
mont's two Roosevelt delegates to the
Chicago Convention, and the recent
Progressive contestant of Frank
Plumley's seat in Congress, will sup
port the Republican State ticket
When interviewed today, Judge
Thompson said:
Members of the Progressive wing
of the Republican party in Vermont
are solely interested in obtaining pro-
gressive results. believe that pro-
gressive results in Vermont can best
be obtained by supporting the pro-
gressive men and platform OF the Re
publican State ticket. State isues are
distinct from National issues. The
national contest centers about the
unfairness or fairness in seating dele
gates at Chicago. That ques-
ton is in no way connected with our
State issue Here in Vermont the
Taft forces acted with entire fair
ness. There is absolutely no reason
why the progressive sentiment in
Vermont should fail to support the
State ticket.
Furthermore, the Republican pre-
convention campaign was clean and
above-board. The platform stands
for the very principles which those
who boted are seeking TO realize"
Judge Thompson stated that in pro-
gressiveness the two platforms stood
substantially the same. He added
that while no criticism could be made
of the character OF candidates for
Office on other tickets, yet the Re
publican candidates are obviously
better fitted to further the progress
siye cause by reason of past exper-
fence and Identification with the pro
gressive measures of the Republican
party of this State.
The Vermont of recent years has
been working out progressive pol
ICY" said Judge Thompson, the men
on the Republican ticket have been
identified with these measures, they
are as progressive, and the platform
they stand upon is exactly as advanc-
ed as the men and platform of the
other tickets And the progressive
ness of the Republican State platform
- a hiOlt pOSSlult anu pidtlltdl hllu
of progressiveness than that of their
platforms
Judge Thompson declared that the
best way to get results was to stick
to one line. He added 1--WE have
started the progressive ball rolling in
Vermont in the work of the Republi
can party within the State in recent
years. We had better keep right at
it and not switch of and lose
ground"
Judge Thompson stated emphatical
ly that ii had been his firm stand
from the first that there was no room
in Vermont for a third State ticket,
and that the progressive principles in
Vermont would be better furthered
by lending hearty support to the Re
publican platform and ticket in this
State.
