Colonel Roosevelt.
/ While some Of. the leaders Of the
movement in. public statements sara
they were confident Of victory for Coz

they explained that it would be impos-

This can be done, he believes. IN
cases in wiliui, the Roosevelt element

ticket would be placed in the field In
states such as New York. In which the
party machinery is in control OF Colo
mel Roosevelt's opponents, 1t Is planned
to place complete ticket in the field,
containing candidates for electors, con-
gressmen. governor and state ana

are cases in which this can be done
I'VE are going to work Immediately
said Mr.. Garfield, Ito organize In the
various states. Thruout the country
there will be candidates for electors for
Roosevelt and the other candidate VINO
is to run with him, to be decided upon
at the national convention. In some
states we will simply endorse the reg
ular republican candidates for elector
and il elected they will vote for RooSe-
Welt, as there is nothing in the consti-

states it will be necessary to choose
independent candidates for electors. IN
some states that will be difficult and In
every case it will depend upon the
provisions of thes tate law.
Woli Financed.
The prospects for financing the
campaign are good. There is no ques-

carry US thru. 80
There is nothing which can block
the organization Of this movement or
prevent the holding of a national con-

to the people Of every state this fall"
Mr.. Garfield said the Taft leaders
had believed the third party never
would be formed.
They are the same ones" he said
who thought the Roosevelt delegates
would not stand firm in the conyen-

the movement" 9
Mr.. Garfield said the 344 delegates
who did not vote. the 1o7 who voted
for Roosevelt. the 10 for Cummins and
the IS whom he commended were un-

true Roosevelt strength in the conven-

these men were behind the new move

In number of states in which
Colonel Roosevelt won the presidential
primaries" he said, "our organization
is already complete. The list includes
states such as Pennsylvania, Maryland.
Minnesota. Nebraska. Kansas, Califor-
MIA. Oregon. Washington and Illinois.
In these states we shall have little to
do, as the regular republican candi
dates for electors. If elected, will vote

Resolutions Of the Roosevelt Party.
Chicago, June 24.-Following are the
resolutions adopted by the Roosevelt
conv entior:
! I'VE, delegates and alternates to the
republican national convention, repre-
senting a clear majority Of the voters
Of the republican party in the national,
and representing clear majority of
[ delegates ard alternates legally elected
to the convention In meeting assem-

1--WE were delegated by majority Of
republican voters of our respective dis
tricts and states to nominate Theodore
Roosevelt in the republican national
convention as the candidate of or
party for president and thereby carry
out the will Of the voters as expressed
at the primaries.
We have earnestly and coTsc!e!-
tiously strven to execute the commits
sion entrusted to us by the party vot-
ers ,
For five days we have been denied
justice in the national convention.
This result has been accomplished
by the action Of the now defunct ma
tional committee in placing upon tn
preliminary roll OF the convention sr:
thereby seating upon the floor OF thu
convention sufficient number o
fraudulently elected delegates to con

These fraudulent delegates. one
seated, have by concerted action viii
one another. put themselves upon tn
permarert roll, where they constitut
an influence sufficient to control tn
convention and defeat the will OF IN
party as expressed at the primaries.
We have exhausted every know
means to hold of, this conspiracy an
to prevent this fraud upon the peopl
without success. We were sent to TN
convention bearing the most specin
instructions to place Theodore Hoose
