SENATOR WORKS
OPPOSES PLAN
Says Attempt to Retain Republican
Control in Progressive States
Would Be Dshonorable.

Washington, July 16. Senator
Works of California, progressive re-
publican, in statement issued today,
declared the promoters Of the new
party" would be guilty of dishonorable
dealings if they should attempt to re-
tain control of the republican machin-
cry in states where the progressive
faction controls the republican party.
Senator Works declared neither Taft
nor Roosevelt had been legally nomi-
mated; that the republican party had
no legal nominee, and that voters were
free to vote for whom they choose. He
said that this was no time to form a
new party.
That" he said, must come later"
Senator Works reviewed the Chi
ago convention, and said in part
so it became fight to finish, just
as malicious and just as disagreeable
as the campaign that preceded it. The
Roosevelt forces practically bolted
Taft received the vote of those who
remained The delegates who voted
for the resolution nominating Roose
welt were wholly without authority to
act in any such way, being duly elected
and accredited delegates to the ma
tional republican convention.
So the republican party has no can
didate for president. Its members may
vote for the democratic nominee or any
Independent candidate without leav
ling or breaking faith with their owr
party, because it has no candidate.
But the Roosevelt followers are Sc
Indignant, and wild with passion tha
they are not content with this inde
pendent course. Nothing but brant
new party will satisfy their wrath.
'If, in the progressive states, ney
party is formed, it must of necessit
be made up in whole or in part of th
men now composing the republica
party in those states. They canno
remain on committees in state or cour

This would be treachery of the wors

Gore Holds Proxy.
This resolution offered by Senator
Thomas P. Gore, who sat in the COM
mittee with a proxy, was adopted un-
animously:
"Be it resolved, by the national dem
ocratic committee that we congratu-
late the country and the democracy
on the exceptional prospects of demo
cratic success in November next. We
rejoice that all democrats everywhere
are united and enthusiastic in support
of the platform and nominees of the
party. We earnestly invite all voters
without reference to previous political
faith or affiliation, who are in sym
pathy with such a platform and nom
mess to unite permanently or cooper
ate temporarily with the democratic
party in this supreme struggle Tor the
establishment of justice as against
Ifavoritism and privilege.
Resolved, that we gratefully ack
nowledge our profound appreciation o
the courageous, disinterested and pa
ltSSotic course of many republicans ant
independents, including number o
the most distinguished leaders ant
editors in declaring the intention tt
support the democrats in the pending
presidential contest"
The committee concluded its worl
in less than two hours and was abou
to adjourn subject to the call of th'
chair when at the suggestion of man,
members a recess was taken until tc
night when plans for raising campaign
funds again were discussed.
