nose we have in view this fall
should contain the names OF repre-
sentatives of the various political
parties. trust that the Progress
sive party at its primaries will
take the same view. The essen
tial thing is that the men nomi-
mated shall be men of the highest
character and Of proved efficiency,
men whose entire records viii
bear the closest inspection and who
have the indomitable will neces-
sarv to do the work that must DC
done at Albany if the honest peo-
pic of this state are to come to
their own. Mr.. Human is such {"
man.
To the statement Mr. Roosevelt
added this orally:
81 haven't and shall not have a
thing in the world that ! Will want
TO ask Of Mr.. Human or any OF his
associates on the ticket # tiey are. as
| believe they will be, elected, save only
that they give New York State the
cleanest and most efficient government
il has ever had, and cut out mercl-
lessly the dishonesty from any depart
ment in which il appears, without the
slightest reference to Whom IL aHcclS'
How Human Was Picked.
Colonel Roosevelt's version Of how
Human walked under the Progressive
star furnishes another illustration oil
political accidents.
Soon after the Coloncl's return from
South America, in May, he was called
on to give testimony in the SUIT
brought by a man named Wells against
the United Mine Workers. Wells SAID
he had offered solution to the Penn
sylvaria coal strike in the fall OF l9VZ,
and wanted to get some money Tor MS
suggestion.
The Coloncl's testimony was taken
in THE Outlook" Office. Mr.. ilinman,
attorney for the United Mine Workers,
examined him. AT the close of the
examination the Colonel and Mr.. nm
man began chat about poiItlcs, INTO
which the Colonel warmed when the
discussion showed that on important
state matters the former State Senator
held precisely Mr.. RoOsevelts views:
The Colonel was exceedingly pleased
with Mr.. IIinman: he had known nun
for some years. but their conversation
gave Mr. Roosevelt claerer idea OF
MIR. Humans opinions.
When the Colonel returned from
Madrid and found himself surrounded
BY his Progressive hosts clamorlng Tor
him to run for Governor, he decided to
Gcvelop the situation to d point where
he would not be bothered further by
such demands. for he had made up his
mind not to run and wanted to FIX As
quickly as possible on man who
would measure up to what he and
other Progressives and independents
desired.

man and John 4. Hcnnessy. lie liked
both Of them exceedingly, but he telt
that he could make his fight against
the Wilson administration better with
Human, for if IIennessy were TO be
Endorsed the attack on the national ad-
ministration might cmbarrass and be
embarrassed by Hennessy as the lead
ing state candidate of the Progress
siycs. But he did not and does not
want to lose llennessy.
Mr.. Roosevelt Is prepared to 90 on
the stump for Human along with
him or in front OF or behind him
whatever is most desirable to Mr.. Ii m
man. And this the Colonel will do for
John A. Henncssy if the latter VIII
run for State Controller OH the FRO

statement indorsing Ilnman reached
Manhattan last night, the Progressive.

which William G.. Brown IS leader

their support.
Perkins Is Pleased.
George W. Perkins. State Chairman
Robinson and other Progresslve5, said
they were pleased, when asked to com
mert on Mr.. Humans statement an
nouncing hi, candidacy. Mr.. Robinson
said he would vote for Mr.. Human IN
the Progressive primaries, and II
nominated, as he believed he would be-
he would vote for him next fall.
William Barnes, just before Mr.
Roosevelt issued his statement, the
nature Of which he anticipated, gave
out the following:
"Thc question which the enrolled
Republicans OF the state must de-
termine on September 20 is whether
they are to select the Republican can
didatcs for the various Offices to be
filled, or whether they are to permit
Mr.. Roosevelt to select them. That is
the real boss issue"
Mr. Robinson's only comment on the
above was:
81 imagine the enrolled Republicans
will make up their minds for them
selves, Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr.. Barnes
Notwithstanding.
He said the sudden change on the
rart Of the Progressives 20 support a
Republican for Governor was due TO the
belief that three tickets in the field
would let Tammany Hall elect its own
ticket.
Charles S. Aronstam. former chair
man Of the Progressive County Com
mittec in Kings, said he would support
MIR. linman.
District Attorney Whitman again re-
refused to comment on Mr.. Humans
candidacy, and said he was in the race
to stay.
Albert +. Vass,. chairman Of the
Kings County Republican Committee,
said:
"Mr. Ilinman is a splend fellow and
will make a splendid Governor, but !
am committed TO the Whitman candi-
Gacy."
The only visit to Sagamcre Hill made
by MIR lInman this year was on July
II. Mr.. IIennessy called OF July IA.
Mr.. lIcnnessy has not yet given the
Colonel any intlmation Of whether he
will take what the Colonel is ready TO
give him the Progressive Enforcement
for state Controller.
Governor Sullcr said last night that
II did not matter to him that Colon 1!
Roosevelt Endorsed Mr.. Human.
