GEN. BLISS TELLS
HOW RAY ESCAPED
A MILITARY TRIAL
Says He Has Copies of Or
ders Which Forestalled
Court-Martial.

How the mantle of political prOtec-

3. Ray. the political paymaster. was
told the House Committee on EXpendi-
lures in the War Department today by
Gen. Taskcr II. Bliss. The latter was in
command in the Philippines when Ma
jor Ray escaped courtmartial on a
charge of entering a false lay voucher.
General Bliss discussed the missing
espondeTnCe" regarding Major
Ray and said that he had preserved
copies of the cablcgrams sent to him.
He said that after the department had
instructed him to proceed against Ray
and at a time when a court-martial was
about to be ordered, he receiverd q
confidential" message from General
Bell ordering him to return all the
papers in the case to the department
and take no further action in the case.
When General Bliss returned to
Washington. ne learned from General
Ainsworth that the latter had seen
nothing of the papers. General Aims
worth said that II the papers were
missing he would inflict a heavy pen
atty on whoever was responsible for
their disappearance. General Bliss
said he retained copies of the papers
in the case because he believed that
the case was not yet closed even
though the Secretary of War had or

An extremely strong Endorsement of
Roosevelt was given today by Senator
Crawford of South Dakota. He said:
1.-THE progressive movement in the Re-
publican party is bigger than any one
man. and more important than the for
tunes of any one Individual. Roosevelt,
La Toilette, and Cummins are promi-
nent leaders in a great movement in be-
half of popular government. The issue
relates to policies and principles rather
than men. / declared for La Toilette
as early as last September, and shall
remain loyal to him. 1t is apparent,
however, that the progressive masses
in the Republican party have turned to
Roosevelt. While / do not agree with
some of the details in his program, par
ticularly as to the recall of judges. and
the reversal of court decisions by a
referendum vote, j do agree with the
general movement for popular govern
ment and with the general tone OF the
Columbus speech.
THE fight is between those who be
lieve in the general progressive poll
cies advocated by Roosevelt, La Toilette
and others, and the old conservative
and standpat element of the party.
Roosevelt will lead the fight for the
progressives, and the movement will
win. l think Roosevelt has given a new
and irresistible impulse to the move
ment." "

Gov. Johnson Says
People Want Roosevelt

NEW YORK, Feb. 26,-Hiram john
son, governor of California, now be-
ing doomed in the Golden State as a
possible running mate for Roosevelt,
said at his hotel here today:
"If the people nominate, the choice
is already made. Notice that in
Massachusetts, Roosevelt men clamor
for a direct primary; Taft politicians
refusing and admitting that If the
people voted Roosevelt would carry
that rockbound state.
"See New York with its hybrid law
that permits the machine and poll
ticians to control voters; demanding
an opportunity of expression and the
machine denying it. Why? Because
in benighted New York If the matter
were submitted to the people Roose-
volt overwhelmingly would win.
Contrast these with California and
Michigan. In California with the pro.
gressives in control, the people were
given by a preference law the right
to choose, In Michigan, prOgressives
are even now working on a law, One
side fears the other trusts the people
and rightly does one side fear. The
only question is, will the people have
voice in the selection of their Presi-
dent. II they do, Colonel Roosevelt
Is already nominated"

Norris Sees Victory.

. Congressman George w. Norris, one of
the progressive leaders of the House,
enthusiastically declared today that the
entry of Colonel Roosevelt into the
Presidential race meant the supremacy
of progressive principles at the polls
next November.
1T is all over" said Mr. Norris
Colonel Roosevelt definitely placed
himself before the people today as a
candidate of the progressive element in
the Republican party. His declaration
of principles in his speech at Columbus
last week made him available as the
representative of these principles in the
coming fight, and his announcement
that he will accept the responsibility
If It Is offered him makes 1t certain
that he will lead the progressives.
Colonel Roosevelts statement in his
letter to the progressive governors is
clear, concise, and will admit of 10
misconstruetion. He is in the race,
and will be to the finish. His declara-
ton in favor of a Presidential primary
is particularly gratifying to the pro-
gressives. I believe that he will, be
nominated and elected"

ator La Toilette from the race, because
