PERKINS WRITES FURTHER TO 80
ATKINSON ONNEW YORK FIGHT

lie opinion has been aroused, Mr. Har-
, vey D. Human Of Bingham, an indie.
pendent Republican, a man who sup
ported Hughes in all his efforts al AL.
bany, whose record is fine on all mo-
raj questions in this state, decided to
come out and announce his candidacy
before the Republican primaries with
straight, anti-Barnes, anti Murphy
statement / enclose herewith his
statement as made in the papers this
, morning. This, of course, is a very
serious blow to the, Barnes machine.
It, of course, means another split in
the Republican party Of this state
also enclose herewith statement
which Colonel Roosevelt has prepared
today-and which viii appear in the
papers tomorrow-in which the Col
onel says that he personally endorses
and will support Mr.. Human, and
hopes the Progressives. OF the state
will do likewise" $50
Mr. Human has signified his will
lingness to run in the Progressive
primaries, as we'll as the Republican
primaries, and if the Progressives of
the state are agreeable to this, l, for
one, believe that he can be elected
governor of the state this fall. If
this should come about, it is, OF
course, the end of the Barnes ma
chine in this state and the overthrow
of Mr.. Barnes. 1t means a victory
for the people of this state over both
the Barnes and Murphy machines,
that succeeding, as it would, the vic
tory in this city last fall. would re-
dound very greatly to the credit OF
the Progressive party in this state,
as the people of the state would know
full well the influence that had
brought about the much desired
change. ~. ..'
Who will be selected to run for
United States senator on our ticket
in the primaries, and Who will be
selected on the Hinman ticket is, OF
course, too early to think about.
A great many of our people in this
state at first blush will doubtless feel
that we have amalgamated, that We
have surrendered to the Republicans,
and all that sort of thing. Exactly
the opposite is the fact. When we
use the word Republican" in this
state, we naturally mean Mr.. Barnes
and his machine, and this is precisely
what the Human move has beaten in
the preliminary skirmish and, in my
will beat in the final skirm-
ish -
We in dependent Republicans were
beaten at Chicago by Mr.. Barnes and
his machine, and we left, the Repub-
Iican party and organized the Pro
gressive party. Mr., Human, and a
host of other men like; him have
found in this state what we found, at
Chicago, namely, that dominant, i'm
proper boss-rule exists in this state,
ind now they have split, and are. go
ng to fight Mr. Barnes and his ma
,hine. Nothing is more natural than
hat we should help them in this kind
# great moral fight TO overthrow ]
he invisible government under Barnes
ule in. New York. If we succeed,
,ou, OF course, realize the vast and :.
benefits to the Progres-
i've party as a whole throughout the
ountry. 'f....-.
/ regret that the pressure of my
ime is so great that have to send
Gu this memorandum in this shape,
ut am sure, as it is SO important,
hat you would not have3me delay 1t
Or an hour. J
Best regards,
Sincerely yours,
GEORGE w. PERKINS. It
