PROGRESSIyES POLL
LARGEST VOTE IN
BUFFALO PRIMARY
Interest in New Party Suf-
ficient to Win, Says
Chairman.

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 2s.-Returns
tabulated up to 10 o'clock this> morn
ing show that the National Progressive
party polled larger vote at its pri-
mary Thursday than was polled at
either the Republican or the Demo-
cratic regular primary.
This statement is made by Chauncey
J. Hamlin. who resigned a $4,000 Fed
eral position to accept the western New
York leadership of the Roosevelt party,
and he says 1t is no exaggeration.
From returns Mr.. Hamlin makes the
positive statement that Colonel Roose-
welt will carry Erie county, one of the
counties always Considered necessary to
a Democratic state majority. There
will be six delegates and six alternates
from Erie and Niagara counties. Each
delegate will have one-half vote.
Word received from other parts OF
this State" Mr.. Hamlin said today
Shows that the organizations for the
new party gradually are being per.
fected. Erie county Is just little
ahead of the other western New York
counties, but the counties in the eastern
part, Of the State, according. to the
word l receive. are doing we'll From
an accurate account of the votes cast a,
the primaries taken from the returns
now on file 1t appears that a larger vote
was cast than at either the Democratic
spring. This Is all the more extraordi
nary because of the fact that the pri
maries were arranged on such shor'
notice.
"The result of the primaries has beer
most encouraging. 1t would have beer
impossible to- have even arranged 70,
the 1870 held last Thursday night in tn,
various election districts in the count,
of Erie had 1t not been that the people
in those districts were ready and anx
ious to enlist in the cause. Now tina
| the primaries have been held will
such splendid results, II makes assur
ance doubly sure that the new party
is gaining strength every day and will
do so until election, and to such al
extent that we look forward with ever
increasing conviction that Theodore
Roosevelt will carry the county of Erie
| the State of New York. and be the mex
President of the United States"

Frank H. Funk, Of Bloom

CHICAGO. July 2s.-Instructions given
to the delegates elected Saturday to the
Illinois State progressive convention
make It certainty that a complete
State ticket is to be nominated by the
ira Hall next Saturday.
The Indications continued to point to
the nomination for governor of State
Senator Frank III. Funk of Bloomington
The personnel of the rest of the ticket
is not indicated. The State convention
will give full and complete indorse-
ment to the prospective nomination of
Theodore Roosevelt for the Presidency.
In the thirty-five Chicago wards and
in the SIX commissioner districts in the
country towns 1t was almost a clean
sweep In favor of the naming of a full
state ticket. Only one ward declared
against making a State fight

ROOS[VELT'S CLAIM
Of ROBBERY FALSE,
DECLARES H|LLES
Charges of Misrepresentation
Bring Sharp Retort From
Colonel.

NEW YORK. July 2S--In a statement
made public here, Charles ID. Hilles,
chairman of the Republican national
committed, assails the assertion made
by Colonel Roosevelt and the men ac-
lively aiding In his Presidential cam
paign that Republican electors in pref
erential primary States should ignore
their obligation of voting for the can
didate of their party on the ground that
the nomination of Mr.. Taft was brought
about by fraud.
Mr.. Hilles said:
"The only possible justification Of
the avowed efforts of the third term
party leaders to induce the Republican
electors in at least six States to betray
their trust and cast their votes in the
Electoral College for former President
Roosevelt would be the truth of the
charge that President Taft was noini-
mated By the fraudulent seating of a
sufficient number of delegates to affect
the choice of the national convention.
No Truth In Charge.
"There is no truth whatever in that
charge. Mr.. Roosevelt ana his asso-
ciates know there Is no truth in II, but
they have been attempting. by vocifer-
alton and reiteration. to becloud the
fact that they have no proof to offer.
They would drown all attempts to es-
tablish the truth by persistent cries of
thief and fraud
THE third term party is the self
confessed sponsor for 100 fake contests,
by which 1t attempted to secure fraud
ulent control of the national comven-
tion, and now 1t has the temerity to
ask the American public to believe that
in the remaining seventy-eight contests
the right was all on its side. o.
